bbarnhouse 0 #1 May 15, 2006 I live in the desert and with that comes the realization that one will have to defend life and limb from time to time from nasty creatures that make an attempt to invade home and hearth. It began with a bull snake that took up residence under the school building a few years back. Yeterday it decided that my house looked more appealing. Normally I wouldn't worry too much about it as my "terror" would defend her territory and show no mercy. On the other hand, the chihauha could just as easily be fed to the snake with encouragement from the "terrror" in an attempt to have sole proprietorship. I admit that I do not care much for snakes, especially ones that are four feet in length. What to do? Well the best course of action was to get the guys from the school of course to relocate the snake! I have no doubt that he'll be back, but for now he is off in the desert somewhere. Thank goodness for courageous tandem masters!!(and they thought the most dangerous thing was puking passengers) Humph! Scene 2...the small visitor... Upon arrival at home for the evening I noticed that I had neglected to wash my cup from the morning coffee ritual. (Dirty dishes are something that I OCD about, and yes I know its odd but drives me crazy!) at anyrate, I go to the sink and notice a small critter with a nasty tail on it. Hummmmm a scorpion in the sink...what to do...what to do? Well the most obvious thing to a woman that likes to cook is a utensil of some sort right? LOL So I grab the weenie tongs and pick the little sucker up with them, give him a good dose of Raid and gave it a proper watery buiral with not one but two flushes! See ya sucker! So to be a woman alone in this brave new world..lol it is imperative to be resourceful. Gentlemen, never put a woman to the test. Especially when she is wielding weenie tongs and has a can of Raid!

Rainbo 0 #14 May 15, 2006 I don't know. I saw a movie with my son where that type of action did not kill the little critters. They just came back with a vengence and destroyed the whole town, of course with the exception of the herione and her new found saviour daddy. I would watch the toidy bowl closely in the coming days...Rainbo TheSpeedTriple - Speed is everything "Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting."

skydiva1998 0 #15 May 15, 2006 Not that I care for snakes, but I think I would have kept the bull snake around. Not just because they eat bugs of all sorts (scorpions?), but they also fend off the dreaded...rattlesnake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NtheSeaOrSky 0 #16 May 15, 2006 yes, but it might have mistaken her teacup chihuahua as a rodent although some days, she might feel like offering him to the snake .Life is not fair and there are no guarantees... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
