OT - A day in the life...

Kate,

Dang girl, why didn't you get closer for that Kodak moment with Mr. Snake? LOL

By the way, a black snake eats other snakes, or so I've heard.

Poor snake! That thing was probably doing a good job of controlling the varmint population at your house. Now you are going to have rats and mice all over the place....LOL!!! Anyway, congratulations on not smoking. I am so glad that its a habit I never picked up. I watched my dad quit and he had a pretty tough time doing it.

Hey, I sold the lightning. Now I just own one piece of trash mustang. As soon as I get that turd fixed I am getting rid of it. Not sure what I am getting yet but i'm leaning towards a GMC pickup. Anyway, good luck with the garden and not smoking and all.

You're kidding.. right? They eat other snakes? Like the snakes that we have to shoot in the pond?

Now I have to go kick the cat.

I'll research that a bit. EIther way, I dont like snakes!

You lil brat... c'mere so I can pull your ear! Just curious, why would you sell the lightening, and keep the turdmobile?

I've been thinking of getting rid of mine too. I have actually lost interest.

AND of all things, I have been thinking of a Chevy 4x4 shortbed pickemup. Or maybe some other thing I can run around in with 4WD. yea yea yea.. I know.. but I LOVED my chebby trucks. These Fords are nickle and dime-ing me to death.

It prolly wont happen for a long while though, I am still upside down on this car.

Be good!

Kate

Like Thunder Snakes? :-P

It depends on what kind of black snake it is. In truth though, lots of snakes eat other snakes. Of course, the king of snakes is the King snake. King snakes can be solid black, but they usually have spots or bands on them. Many snakes are black though, some water snakes, and some are land snakes. If you see a king snake though, I really wouldn't kill it. In fact, most snakes are harmless and do a pretty decent job of keeping insects/varmints away. Erik D.

Nice one Kate. Congats on staying smoke free you've got it beat don't let up.

The reason I sold my truck is because I lost time and interest. It was being neglected, and you can't do that to a vehicle thats 11 years old and has 169,000 miles on it. The guy I sold it to will take much better care of it than I ever did, so I am happy it has a good home. As soon as I fix the turdmobile I think I will count my losses(or maybe not count them) and trade it in on a GMC Z71. Thats what my dad has and I absolutely love it, I should have gotten that instead of the poostang anyway. Erik D. '01 white poostang GT

It didn't offer you an apple, did it?

Sounds like a great little gal to me! Chances are, you have more than one redeeming quality.
