when you know, put your tail in a truck, bus or plane. Ain't that far. lol

When = when we gonna ho down?

:) So much for you coming to dinner this weekend with snow on the way :(

Christie you crack me up with your snake phobia! Snakes come out when it starts to get warm, usually about April you will start to see snakes. The cooler the weather the slower they are. So from May to October in our area you will see snakes, or might see snakes. Your chances of it being a poisonous snake is about 1 in 5.

But we gotta get that snake out of the room first. I didnt bother him cuz he wasnt eating much.:raspberry:

Yer not funny, chica... Not funny at ALL...

Wanna see how redneck I am at heart? Get me near a snake...

I dont care what anyone says... only GOOD snake is a dead one...

When I first came to live on the plantation with Jess, I was sitting in the house one morning, checking email and waking up. Jess, outside watering landscaping yells, "Hey honey! Come here!"

I walk out on the screened porch and Hy is pointing to a 6' black snake sunning in the grass not two feet from the front door.

With the high pitched screech heard as far west as Memphis, I was back in the house, on the phone with my father. It went a lil something like this:

Me: "DADDY!!!! How do you get rid of snakes without killing them?!?!?"

My father: "Well, punkin, what color is it?"

Me: "black"

Father: "Well, what shape is its head?"

Me: "I have no fucking clue, I didnt get that close"

Father: "what shape is its eyes? are they slanted?"

Me: "I wasnt that close. I didnt ask its heritage."

Father: "Well, how many are there?"

Me: "I dunno - I didnt ask if he had friends and family. How the FUCK DO I GET RID OF IT?!?!?!"

He then proceeds to go into a litany about good snakes and bad snakes and how we wanna keep the good ones...

KEEP the GOOD ones?!?!?!?!?!? :overreaction:

I didnt go back out into the yard except to the car and back for a good month.

Don't even get me started about how the next year as I went across our dirt road to check the mail and there was one laid out across the drive, blocking my path back to the house. Or how I was stuck out there for a good hour. Or how I refused to check the mail anymore without being armed.

Snakes... not my thing. Not then, not now, not never. :whoop:

Heh... She wasn't real fond of watching the two black snakes mating either. I thought it a perfectly great Discovery channel moment and she was just googling average number of snake hatches. :accountant:

You'll all be relieved to hear that we saw not one snake in the yard this year. ( We moved, btw). LOL!

So i guess you didn't tell her you brought them with you on the move huh?
:raspberry:

lol christie!

I hate snakes too. I lived in South Florida in the Florida Everglades. I have a few rattlers from snakes I killed including a 5 footer that was going to strike my cat. I love animals but when it comes to dangerous animals that can hurt my pets they cant stay.

Remember how the chicken coop is in the barn? well there use to be a quick latch. It auto latches when swing the door. I had just moved to the farm and thank goodness my mom was visiting because at the time I didnt know anyone up here. I went to feed the chicks in the coop and there was this HUGE black snake that had a lump (chick) and couldnt get back through the chicken wire. I opened the door with a shovel to kill him and that damn door latched behind me locking me in that coop with that snake. I chopped off his head and his body kept moving around. Chicks running, screaming, me screaming, snake flopping.

It was almost close to an hour before my mom wondered where I was and came out to the barn. I tried sticking things through the wire to open the latch and no luck. I was close to slamming that wire down. If my mom hadnt been there I would of had no choice. I had that latch changed asap.

I've been here 5 years and I've only see maybe 4 snakes. Nothing like south florida where I dealt with them on a regular basis. The snakes here arent dangerous.

I'm making a note that I aint gonna be exploring the barn or the chicken coop at your place... jus' sayin. :freak:

Okie dooks, I have seen the beer, but nothing goes down smoother than a swig of Jack washed down with a cold one.

Nothing says "redneck" in Nashville like riding your 4-wheeler in the snow, drinking beer, and accidently spitting your dip on your best friend's leg!!! :goodscore:

Kinda reminds me of bow hunting with my Dad when I was a kid. We came across a BIGGO timber rattler. And my Dad decided to shoot it with his bow. Well, he ran out of arrows, and was asking me for mine. I'm like sorry Dad, if you can't shoot something that big from 2 feet away with ten of your own arrows, you can't shoot. Sorry bout ya luck.

Ok Blaze I'm about to burst the JD bubble...

I am a bourbon drinker. Have you ever tried Basil Hayden? its actually not a sour mash which I'm told would not really be considered bourbon. Next in line under that would be Markers Mark. If I am feeling brave Bookers but to be honest I rarely feel that brave, its 100 proof. But if I want to save money and want a nice sipping bourbon I'll have Old Forester. Jack and be on sale and you won't get my indian ass near it.

But seriously, see if you can find Basil Hayden. Pour a little in a wide glass, sit back, close your eyes, take whiff, then a sip and let it warm you.

lol thats funny as shit
