The lit old timers thread

[someplace]

That is so cool! And more importantly, it sounds like good advice whenever taking multiple children to the opera house.

It absolutely is, plus because we had two boxes, we completely split up some of the boys to cut down on shenanigans and have more adult control. It's like you have your own little room with its own door. Also great to get to/from restrooms discretely. The 5 boys still went back and forth during intermission but were behaved all in all. I have no idea how much it cost to do that, because I was along for the ride. My ticket was a gift. And I probably wouldn't have paid to socialize with and sit in the same box as my exhusband and his partner. The Princess' exhusband was there as well as her current husband's exwife. yeah...we don't do awkward in this family...it was all for the kids.

Now I want to pet an alligator.

Did you SEE how BUMPY it is? I leaned over the couch for a closer look. I wasn't sure what it was until I noticed the duct tape around its mouth and thought, Oh hell no! True story: The 5 yr old (going on 40) granddaughter (a true redhead and the most serious child you'll ever meet) is fearless. She walked around for at least 1/2 hour with a 3 foot long yellow snake wrapped around her. It travelled around her neck, up in her hair. She loved it. ....hahahahahahaha UNTIL.....it peed on her. OMG. She went BALLISTIC. It was hilarious. Of course it made her mad that some of us found it funny, which only made it worse. I didn't know snakes peed...I mean, it's not something I ever thought about. <---not a snake person

It doesn't get THAT cold here, but we've had a few days recently that got down to freezing overnight. It warms back up when the sun comes out. I got in my car after one such night and there was a freakin' mosquito buzzing around inside my car. I wanted to say, "SERIOUSLY??? You're supposed to DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE when it's cold." Stupid mosquitos. I hate them.

The spring mosquitoes are the best. They're big and slow, hence easy to swat and kill.

Are you sure you have the right password?

Even if you do have the right username and password, it can be a problem. While I have been lucky enough to maintain my original identity, the software here is old by internet standards and prone to problems.

Yes. And back when it happened, I emailed the admins for assistance, but never got a response, do I just didn’t worry about it.
I now have connected with some of my favorite “old timers” on the Book of Faces.

It gets cold here, but I just keep my snake inside. He's kinda famous, has a decent social media following, has been in Hustler Magazine, a music video, etc.

I used to know a guy in that area who raised snakes. He died. Won't blame the snakes, but one never knows.

You think one of the snakes wanted to give him a warm hug?

I want a baby goat.

Get at least 2. They are herd animals. Also avoid pygmy goats at all costs. They are the evil imps of the goat world.

Trouser snakes>actual snakes then?

 

[RosevilleCAguy]

Roast goat is awesome.

Yep.

Glad to know that you are still looking in periodically!

Check out the lovely Savannah Boan on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/savannahboan/
She's the good will ambassador for Gatorland Florida, her feed is basically her frolicking with pods of gators who're each large enough to swallow her whole.
Also, hoping she'll forgive me for sharing stories, @ImiGirrst almost got eaten by gators once so she might have a different take on that desire.

I did???

 

[James G 5]

I did???

The car accident in the gator infested waters lo those many years ago?

Cheyenne thinks it's pretty funny, too. Especially the part about the granddaughter getting mad about the laughter.

Neither did I. I suppose a few people, probably herpetologists, are aware of it.

I wonder what would happen if I posted a thread about having a snake urine fetish?

I figure snakes are like chickens- one all-purpose opening that might release pee, poop, eggs, or a combination.
I like living here. I haven't seen a snake in 20 years.

Rattlesnakes are big in my area. Ironically, chickens are used to control them.

In my birth state of PA we had Rattlesnakes and Copperheads, mostly they kept to the loose rocks on the mountains. I guess they were controlled by the blacksnakes when they moved into the valleys, which were a form of king snake.

Now, I'll dream of snakes tonight.

Try reading a favorite book or watching a favorite movie tonight.

You're right. Cloaca. Though mine's a boy, so no eggs. Feces are distinct, they look like it. Urine's more like bird urine that hits your car windshield, a mix of liquid and greenish/yellow semi-solids.
