IDK- Haven't really done the math.....don't know which is worse...a 145 lb. drunk Texan....or a drunk 40 lb. raccoon. .....

Probably not a good idea to be around either......:2guns::cheers2::surrender:

Well if you think of all the diseases they could transmit when they bite....

on the other hand: a raccoon isn't exactly aseptic either :roflol:

OK- So this is kinda cool...my little red-eared slider turtle (Vin Diesel. ....you know 'Fast and Furious' LOL....) is starting to get tamed down..instead of withdrawing in his shell when I put my finger or hand up to the aquarium- he now follows it around.

He has also made the connection between his food container and getting fed....he gets excited when he sees it. ....

I'll be working on hand feeding pretty soon. .....:popcorn:

That is cool.

I have a budgie that will tell me when she need food & eat out of my hand when she's hungry but, won't come near me any other time, to the point where she goes nuts, flapping & squawking when I try to clean her cage :huh:

Ah ha....budgies....they are just psychotic. ...I had one....trained it to get on my finger. . At first you come in low with your finger sideways. ....until they get bored biting the crap out of it.....

Then you put it up against their breast and gently push them off balance backwards until they crawl up on your finger. ....after that ....you just put your finger in front of them and they climb on......

Ummmmm- unless they just decide not to.....I can remember having this bird out so many times and everything was fine. ....then off she goes....flying all over the place....banging into more walls and crap than my drunken high school buddies and biting my finger instead of climbing on it.....

So I guess she was "hand trained"....just not particular if I had food or not.....:surrender:

The coolest thing was a crawfish that was hand trained in the backyard pond though....had a dozen named fish-coi and golgfish- that were hand trained to feed and then this guy started showing up. ...you could hold a piece of food up 2" above the water and he could pick it out of your hand with a pincer with surgical precision. .....

And I didn't train him- he just figured it all out on his own... (for the most part).

I'm sorry, Doug. I had to.....

My Dad has been known to forget what he was doing, where, when, and why; the last big one was while he was driving, towing his 29' travel trailer back from Florida, while he and his girlfriend were trying to negotiate rush hour traffic in ATLANTA, GA.

I found this link from her when I checked my email when I got home from work this past evening (I work 2nd shift). I'm sorry, Doug; it just seemed to fit you so to a "T".....

I'm sorry Doug, I just had to do it....

Last week I decided to plant some okra and pull some weeds.......I got ate up with chiggers........today I spent 15 minutes weed-eating and got ate up by mosquitoes. .........

WTF!!!!!!!- Why is it as soon as the weather gets nice enough it's not miserable anymore. ......something else has to make it miserable. .......

Next month. .......it'll be so hot here. .....the devil will be making deals on cold drinks!!!!!!!!

Well............I guess I'm through ranting now.......just needed to vent......and Felineman is too far away for me to take it out on.......Love ya bud......lol.....

its okay, my mother comes home, opens the garage [yeah I still live at home] and she goes "WHooa! what are you doing in here with the door closed!" "It's like 10 degrees cooler outside then it is in here." my response. "the... mosquitoes.... *twitch* they're.... getting to me!" she looks at me, and goes "All the wood dust and heat is getting to you...."

seriously its pretty bad when you prefer the heat over those darn mosquitoes, and my neighborhood sprays those nasty chemicals to rid of them, but all the darn old people just HAVE to have 50 bird baths in their yards, and all the abandoned homes with pools that would make a swamp seem clean. the parrals of living in the south.

on another note, the golf course behind my house recently bought a bunch of land, and started bulldozing trees and such. [I've been sneaking out there at night collecting all the burl wood! :D] but ever since, I've been finding big ol' juicy ticks in the tall grasses and such, use to never have this problem... I guess the big ones are better then the little ones, Less hungry! :thumbsup:

And you folks rag on me for being willing to shovel snow. Here's a clue; I can always add a layer of clothes. I can only remove so many before I face charges.

And the warmer the temps, the more visious the bugs........

You can't make this stuff up......this is some crazy stuff! !!!

First off- I hear on the radio. ....a 34 year old woman enters into an establishment that has one of those food eating challenges. .....

In this case a 72 oz steak......They didn't go into details. ....but usually. ...you get an hour to finish and it's free and you get your name on a wall.....

Well....this 5' 10" 34 year old female that weighs approximately 120 lbs....promptly sets a new record of 4 minutes to inhale this steak........

Then she turns around and orders ANOTHER one.....and finishes it in eleven minutes! !!!!!! Just crazy.......

Then I hear some little idiot town is putting locks on fire hydrants......REALLY? ???????? The problem is. ...that there are several different keys that open these locks......

While the fire department is supposed to have all the copies......I have witnessed a house fire first hand and in 2 minutes. ....it can go from a smoldering non-issue. ..to a flaming bonfire....that is hopeless. ......

You know about that woman....................


That we shall keep nameless but just so happened to do this all in your state. There is a youtube video for everything these days and yes Nebraska Molly wants to try and beat it already.

sounds like something the HOA of my neighborhood would do...
well it seems that the fire department needs a set of bolt cutters per truck.

also I thought fire hydrants were DOTs property? how is that even legal?

You know. ...it's always something to screw up a beautiful day. .....

A little while ago. ...there was a knock on the door. ...a certified letter from an attorney. ...informing me I was being sued for back taxes on my house and was an official court summons. ....

Now. ...get this. ...the letter describes the amounts owed....2012- $66.32,
2013- $97.05.....Tarrant Co. 2012.... $123.53....2013- $335.97...Tarrant Co College district..2012-. $35.86.....2013.. $54.97....Tarrant Co Hospital District. ...2012- $57.23......2013-$83.77.........City of White Settlement.. 2012-$$123.53....2013-$566.36....All told..... $1, 282.30.........

Now- my 2013 tax debt is only about $900 ....and only a little over a month delinquent. ...if not for a default on 2012's monthly payments. ...there is no way they could declare 2013 payable on demand......

And of course. ...the bassurds are closed 'till Monday....So I can't sort this out until then. ......but what they don't know is I can pay all of it off....if need be. ...not personally. ..but I can get the backing......

So...F them.....and they have seen the last of their free ride attorney's fees. ...because I will be on top of 2014!!!!!
