Step slowly away.
Oreos, baby...double stuffed for good measure.
Oreos are blah, and the double stuff variety tastes like lama puke.
When I got divorced, my wife actually said to me "You don't confide in me anymore. I bet those people in your chat rooms know more about how your day went than I do."
I resisted the urge to point out that "those people in your chat rooms" weren't insisting I go visit their bi-polar mothers, didn't bring up posts I made two years ago every day and listened when I hit the ignore button (well, they have no choice there but.........).
When I first read "step away..." it reminded me of having the living daylights scared out of me as a kid playing in the nearby hills - if you came upon a rattler you were supposed to "back slowly away the length of the rattlesnake and then run like hell!! But really? How good is a scared- to-death 7 year old at estimating the length of a coiled rattlesnake?
Ahhhh no matter . . . you could double over in a cramp and die from swimming right after a meal then, too.
Since you all are here I must confess I sometimes go on "invisible mode" so I know how bad my addiction is but hoping no one else will notice??? I'm just so glad I shared that with the group.
and a one... and a two ....... and a threeeeeee :throcomp: :throcomp::throcomp: :throcomp:
just left the tint on my hair twice as long as I should have writing this oh lord please don't let my hair be fuschia thank you in advance amen
TOO funny!!!!! :fnypst:I remember hearing that advice about rattlesnakes when I was growing up as well, and being just as confused by it. What made anyone think I was going to hang around long enough to ask the snake for its ID, let alone calculate its dimensions?
They always explained that the snake can never lunge at you over it's height, so you aren't going to want to be a few inches short in your estimate and if you start to run too soon you'll scare it and it will bite you for sure!! So in my little head I imagined the snake launching itself like a harpoon at me and nipping at my sneakers as I tried to book it out of the Snake radius of death. Kids are funny!! Even when they were me!:)
Now the hills I played in are all paved and covered with houses. :-(
btw viva I am sorry for that note last week it was a cr***** of a week and I have since regrouped :hug: pls 4give.
