I love and miss our stolen moments but I want time alone with you. I'm sorry I missed you this morning. Transport me to another time and place. You are right, you are my escape. You are my freedom. I need a dose of what we used to be. ❤️

Man Kills Snake; Snake Tries To Kill Him Back

The story has a semi-biblical tone: A man and woman together in a garden come across a serpent. The serpent awakens them to their own mortality and their lives are changed forever.

But that's where the similarities end, because in this story, the man grabbed a shovel to decapitate the snake — a 4-foot-long Western diamondback rattlesnake — after it spooked his wife. And when he went to pick up the severed head, it sank its fangs into his flesh and released a near deadly dose of venom.

Jennifer Sutcliffe — who happens to be a nurse — told KIII TV she jumped into professional mode after her husband, Jeremy, was bitten. She got him into the car and called 911 to find the nearest hospital to Lake Corpus Christi in Southern Texas that had anti-venom medication on hand. It was an hour away, Sutcliffe told The Washington Post.

About 2 miles into the drive her husband began having seizures, lost his vision and, unknown to them, began bleeding internally. So she met up with an ambulance and then a helicopter, which flew the 40-year-old to the hospital as his organs were already shutting down.

It was touch-and-go for the first 24 hours...

Looks like the yanks may have taken out one of the best players in the World Cup.
 
Leave my phone out of this pls. It's days are numbered and will receive a proper burial once I properly disassemble it beyond recognition.
 
I have tried. My mom would actually enjoy it but she won’t do it. I even set up an email.

And forget cell phone voice mails and texting

My folks are the same. At least mom uses a cell.

My dad? If it's anything after 1970's - forget it.
 
Bunch of assholes in that thread. Much like every other thread, I suppose.

Ironically, almost every one of those idiots sounding off have never watched an entire episode of any of Bourdain’s shows, or read anything he wrote.
