serpent came-a-callin'

by knock knock in

nawhh, not that serpent.

out in my yard this evening i noticed the cat in the hunkered down inquisitive/cautious pose so i just hadda go see what he found.

the snake was trying to get inside of the old railroad tie retaining wall so i could only see the back half.

wow! I'm suprised anyone replied! lol

a trip to the home despot wasn't a lot of help. one customer there just said "410". I read online about the moth balls but reading that putting out some sort of barrier may actually keep them IN the yard. Sheesh.

I don't know if it's related to the snake or not but my cat came in limping a couple of days later and gets a trip to the vet tomorrow. I can't see any sign of a wound on his leg but he tries to wound ME if I try to get a close look at it.

What's your all-time favorite Song by musician ? Name Song and Artist

flipper again.

personally my all time favorite song?

stairway to heaven by led zeppelin.one of my top favorite groups ,too.

knock knock

someone mentioned a song called "Sway"... Reminded me of an old Stones song called "Sway" that I liked but of course you had to be cautious of who heard you listening to lyrics like "It's just that demon life has got me in it's Sway..."

If there is ONE song that the volume goes to 11 on when it is playing then hands down it is "Change It" by the late great SRV. A great many other songs go to 10.5+ though :) ex: The Cowboy Song by Thin Lizzy

Nawhh, not THAT serpent.

Out in my yard this evening I noticed the cat in the hunkered down inquisitive/cautious pose so I just hadda go see what he found. The snake was trying to get inside of the old railroad tie retaining wall so I could only see the back half. I estimate it was about an inch and a half diameter and I can only guess that it was about 3' long or better. First snake I've seen in the 6 or so months in this house. My best guess is that it's a cottonmouth from internet photos and I've been told they are around. Also, what I thought were turtle eggs a few weeks ago (turtle seen hanging around the spot - same spot as said snake) may in fact have been snake eggs. Yikes!

So, anyone here know of a way to get rid of serpents (no, not the elder kind this time) ? I see there are snake repelent concoctions available but some are quite pricey (albeit cheaper than a hospital visit).

Hmmm, wonder if perhaps there is a cult-away product on the market. Last week I found a jw tract on the door and today it was a baptist invitation.

they just stopped by my place, and i am hiding... i havent been to meetings in years... co must be in town, and the in-laws musta tipped em off where i am living.

(im hiding in the computer room tell they go away!!

I wonder when Buick got the green(new)light arrangement. The bible clearly states that early on Plymouth was the chariot of choice as Adam & Eve were driven out of the Garden in a Fury.

JUST FOR FUN: Pranks you've played (computer or other)

by SnakesInTheTower in

so the post from firenbandits http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/134960/1.ashx and the subsequent story reply had me thinking this would be a fun thread.. to start, i've copied a couple of the replies that were on that thread that had me dying laughing....and then one of my own.

what's the greatest prank you pulled or you seen pulled on someone (or pulled on you?)...

hope this brings smiles and lots of replies..... snakesinthetower (of the prankster sheep .

non computer: an old standby for carpenters... if someone removes their nailbag for say a bathroom break, nail their toolbelt up in the rafters with about a dozen air-nails. There's usually a good reason for all the cussing on any construction job.

computer related: I used to work at an off-site records mgmt facility. For my own amusement I would, on rare occasion, fax in a RUSH order for non-existant files/boxes just to see the mad frenzy when I got back from lunch. Always worked too :) Ah, the old days.

Jehovah's Witness Radar----Do You Have It?

by minimus in

jw
friends

some people can spot a "gay" person by using their built-in "gaydar".. can you spot a witness easily?

what are the signs that this person must be a witness??

tell us about you "jwdar".....(prounounced jawaydar)..

knock knock

I've always been able to spot 'em. The dress and the lingo; er, pure language, give them away. But it's not just that. There's just a certain something that makes them stand out even without hearing them talk.

Last week I was at my brother's place and we were about to leave and we both noticed the group of about 6 mexicans walking up the street. The looked out of place and when they got to us only one woman spoke any english at all but a word or two is all it takes to confirm. I was content to keep silent but my brother is more engaging and subtle. It would have been fun to watch had we had more time and they could converse.

GB MEMBER Herd Says Just Because You're A JW It Doesn't Mean Anything!

by minimus in

jw
friends

there's a tape circulating around the witnesses stating that when the separation of the sheep and goats happens, witnesses shouldn't think that they will automatically be saved just because they're witnesses.

if they aren't wholesouled, then they should not expect that having one foot in the "truth" and the other in the world will let them make it through the great tribulation....herd was trying to motivate the troops!

knock knock

I had to install the WT cd for this one to see if I remembered it correctly. Zephaniah 2:2,3 ends with "Probably you may be congealed :) in the day of Jehovah's anger."

That was one that bugged me way, way back and I felt that it applied to those the were "real" witnesses so what kind of chance did I have anyway. None. Here, you do this, this, this and this and if you NEVER screw up along the way, then MAYBE the big guy will see what he can do for you. Now get out of my sight.

Ah, maybe it was just me.

Local Needs on Farting! I'm Serious

by mtsgrad in

jw
friends

in my decades of the "truth" i have heard scriptures twisted in an olympic manner to apply to local needs.

there were so many on various sexual activities that i tempted to throw money on the platform!.

i even heard from a reliable brother of a local needs on farting.

knock knock

Oh yes, it's getting to be quite the big deal you know. Some place's are even starting to celebrate farting with a special day and that may be the reason for the special needs talk.

This is an actual sign - no photo retouching at all. Promise. I saw this the other day at the side of the road and had to stop and get a pic of it. Just didn't know I'd get to use it so soon.

You Were My First Love And Youll Be My Last Love ...

friends

you were my first love and youll be my last love ...living in florida has given me the opportunity to see couples who have been.

together for decades sometimes dating back to the second world war.. .

it has always amazed me how some couples can stay together for 20, 30, 40 .

perhaps those that stick together think in terms of WE and those that keep shuffling around only think of ME?

want to know what's weird?

by ninja in

we all know there is no mention of cats in the bible...not one....but another thing that's weird is that there is no reference to any people in the old testament taking their kids down to the beach to make sandcastles and stuff...why?

Knorr does the bible mention vacations. Yay, verily sayeth the LORD, until the fortnight doth be finished, do not be knocking on any door. Neither on winders shall ye knock knorr upon doors which contain any variation of winder patterns shall ye knock. Lo though ye shall be tempted at local building supply houses to knock merrily away in the door/winder section, I tell you, today, DO NOT KNOCK. No knocking here, no knocking there, No. No knocking anywhere - For Sam I AM. And then the inquisitive one asked, "What about knocking up?" It was at this point our Lord took his leave and went on vacation. Sheesh I need a drink!
