Hello girls and gals.Since I am stupid enough to be going in to town this close to Christmas, I was just wondering if I could pick up anything for you guys so everybody doesnt have to be treated as poorly as us last minute shoppers.
There is limited space available in my trunk so you need to be really convincing as to why your stuff should be picked up instead of somebody elses like Jim the "Benton Brawlers ", S.S.P., or any of the many other fine shalers on this site.If it is an ingredient, let me know what dish its going in because we all know thats the way to a mans heart.
If its an item for someone special, let me know why that person is so special.
This may be some of you clowns last chance to make the "List", so you better watch out. (Pun intended)

P.S. Hey KB rsp,
You never cease to amaze me and remind me all at the same time why I swoon over you the way I do!
I really dig a Chick that hates the Mall. (LOL) :-)

Regardless, just continue to be the way you are I think it is great and much needed today...

Cannie. The class, arachnids, includes not only spiders but scorpions. Best watch out for both.
That is true Skip (whooaaa, flashback to the biology days in college) and I REALLY hate scorpions. Any thing that will crawl into your boot and wait for you has to go in my book.
One more of the many reasons, I love this community. The funniest stories anywhere.

Rosebud, you could have feed the snake to your resident hawk.
Rosebud - if it was brown, it sounds like it may have been a pygmy rattler. Funny you should mention it because I found a dead one (had been run over) in my sister's driveway on Shreve Is. on Christmas Day. Maybe they came out because it was a little warmer those days?

PS - You have taken in night crawlers, too? LOL
Rosebud,

I'm on the job for you. I'm not joking here. I contacted someone to see if he can relocate your hawk. I will get his number to you. He said he will have to do it when he is going out of town or the hawk will just come back. I forgot how many miles he said it will have to be relocated. He is a "falconer" that I met at a cub scout event.
Here's a link to LA Dep't of Wildlife, referenced small snakes. I'm sure one of these was yours.

Okay, Dolly Momma Snake Charma ... Greenhouse ... geraniums ... there ya' go. Actually, I don't think pygmy rattler's bite is much worse than wasp or bee sting, but likewise if you're allergic it could be a problem.
Spiders kill more people than snakes.

Anti-venom for snakes isn't that big of a deal. I was bit in college and had to receive anti-venom. The IV was the worst part.
Au contraire................inch for inch, the pygmy rattler is as poisonous as its full-sized cousin. The venom attacks the nervous system just as the larger rattlers' venom does.
I've been told that for most snake bites today, anti-venom isn't even used unless it is deemed necessary. Pretty much a wait and watch situation. At least that is what I was told.

I was bit when I was in college, which was at least a few years ago. Ummm a few more than 20 2 years ago.

Rattlers may be different from water moccasins.
Thanks, Gosh, I'm much more afraid for the dogs than myself. I can outrun a snake, the dogs want to check it out. Also, I'm more afraid of taking the dogs out in the pre-dawn am to find a cougar in a tree, or a coyote in the trash, now that a puma was recently found in a BC neighborhood tree. My poo bags would be no match for one of those.
