    I can for the weekend because I have good neighbors but you got me on the last one So how did you get interested in snakes? How long have you had them as pets?

    I just heard our neighboring county doesn't have the funds to keep their Humane Society open. They will have to close next month unless they get funds and put down 80 dogs and cats Now that's sad.....

    GRE SCORES ARE GOOOOOOOD!!!!

    Yes yes yes! I talked to 2 different people in graduate admissions, and they both said my old scores were still good!

    So, my score report getting shredded, and my scores being purged after 5 years from the testing center, didn't hurt anything!

    Now I gotta do the app! OmiGAWD!

    (no new running pants, sigh. gotta pay the admissions filing fee!)

    Dar, I have been interested in snakes for as long as I can remember. My daughter, too. I have a picture of her sitting on a potty chair, camping, holding a snake high above her head with both hands. She wouldn't put it down for anything. Interested in snakes means not being able to walk past snake habitat and not look for one. Jumping off my bike to capture one at every opportunity. Riding my MTB for a mile through the woods dangling a big snake to show my friends. I was under control till I found Maizey in my yard a year ago July. And still pretty under control until a friend gave me Choco in September. Then I went shopping for Inez, and the same friend gave me Addy, then I got Zee for my birthday- now I want more! I think just one or two or three more, though. I don't really want to keep them in tubs in racks- I like the natural, pretty vivs.

    Yay, Knot!! I am SO glad for you. Good luck with getting the rest of your application finished.

    My chicken crockpot stew is smelling good - the potatoes are a bit mushy though. Last time I did potatoes in a beef stew, they were quite firm when it came time to eat. Not sure why they aren't this time... Oh well.

    We told everyone at work that we're getting married and they were all excited for us. So much fun....

    Yay Knot!!!!!!

    Hey Nanci,
    tarantulas eat only every couple of weeks too- and likes snakes are very clean and quiet pets as well. They are fascinating to watch the things they do. Gave mine up a few years ago. Now they live at Cornell. I stick with cats these days, it makes my life easier to be tank-less.
