Fridayyayayayayayay! Fun Folks

<p>Cranie, I lublub ya, but don't quit your day job!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Not fun</strong>:  I had some WEIRD and somewhat unsettling dreams from 4-6 this morning.  Woke up with a sore spot on my lip where I'd apparently chomped it in my sleep.  Doh</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Not fun</strong>:  Last night, my next door neighbor called to give me a warning.  He'd just killed a baby eastern diamondback rattler in his driveway.  It was very young... only a few days old probably, but they're usually born in groups of 12-24, so chances are that more are around.  Aaack.  Snakes in general, I like.  Snakes that can kill me or my puppies... those need to go.  Needless to say, I walked the perimeter area of the back yard this morning while out with the dogs, and when I get home this evening, I"ll be dragging a shovel out of the storage shed, just in case.  Where the dogs and I usually would be in the yard isn't really the most logical place for a snake to hang out (no real cover from other predators or chance for a meal, which for them is mostly squirrels, mice and rabbits), but still.. baby snakes aren't the most logical of creatures, so I'll be on guard for a bit.</p>

<p><strong>Fun:</strong>  It's Friday, at least!</p>

<p><strong>Qod</strong>:  hrm.. I'm rather a traditional girl when it comes to ice cream.  Give me strawberry, chocolate or vanilla, and I'm happy.  I don't think I've ever seen a blackberry ice cream (at least not in grocery stores), so that would be pretty cool.  I'll leave the odd flavors to you more adventurous folks!</p>

<p><strong>Kath</strong> - I'm snickering now.  Does KP have a serious dislike for things in the reptile family?   On that note, I'm debating on whether I should invest in snake-away (moth ball type repellent) or another brand (more citrus / cinnamon repellent), or just go on business as usual.  After all, a rattler had to be somewhat nearby all this time to lay eggs in the first place.  The snake-away seems to work from reviews I've seen, but (1) it smells horrible for a few days, and (2) most likely needs to be reapplied after major rainfall, which is happening a lot in fast storms that come in the evenings around here, and snake-away isn't exactly cheap for the amount of yard I'd want to cover!  Hmph!</p>

<p><strong>Moe</strong> - Ack to no AC!  Hope your landlord gets that fixed asap!</p>
