You don't die instantly from snake bite!

There are 2 different kinds of
poisonous snakes, one that kind of rots your tissue (vipers, like

and rattlers), which can be treated, and those that have nerve toxins

snake). I believe the latter can also be treated, if they know which type

snake bit you. Basically, don't put your hand anyplace where you can't

ahead of time.

Snakes are really very shy creatures and will do what anyone
would do when threatened - protect themselves. They are certainly not

at a hulking monster as supper. :-)

My mother grew up in Arkansas. Too many copperhead stories. No thanks.

They supposedly smell like cucumbers.

Didn't know they had 'em in Arkansas - I
thought they were a northern snake.

I love snakes. I love the way they feel, the way they move, and their
intelligent appearance (although, they aren't). They're adorable!

could do without the stink when you pick them up.

Then there's the gators. Stories of (dumb) nudists floating in lakes at
night and being taken for a "roll" by a gator. In Michigan you can float
nude at night safely but only in the summer. In Michigan, probably NY

you can have your dog fetch and return a ball in a lake. In Florida it's
toss, fetch, return; toss, fetch, return, toss,
fetch........................... lunch. I heard a story once about a guy
that was grabbed by a gator, rolled for a little while then taken to the
gator's lair under a mud bank for later consumption. The gator wasn't

that hungry and the guy got away. Now that's waaaaaay too much stress.

thanks.

From what I've seen, you wouldn't want to be skinny dipping in the kind of

that gators inhabit. Of course, I've only seen stuff in Florida and
Mississippi, but it's icky, muddy stuff that looks like it's just crawling

leeches and other parasites. Just .... yuk!

Now, if you could enjoy all your outdoor activities in the
mall......................

It would be kind of hard to get "outside" into a mall, though. :-)

Next time you make a pumpkin pie, try
substituting the pasty crust with one
using gingersnaps instead. Follow the
gram cracker crust instructions but use
the gingersnaps. It's yummy too! :)
