absolutely. but i tend to leave them alone, unless they're poisonous and in my yard. haven't killed one since a copperhead a few years back, and of course those born pissed-off cottonmouths. as much time as i've spent in the woods, i've never (luckily) encountered a rattler, but they're here. had a king snake in the yard a few days ago-took a shot...with the camera! lol unlike most around here, i don't mind them.

Taking a pic of a king snake in your yard. Are you trying to become the next Steve Irwin?

Shorter Nascar: Dead illegal immigrants are less of a problem for me than living ones, so bully for you if you turn a living one into a dead one, as far as I'm concerned.

Every time...just when I think you can't outdo yourself.

no

i also have a pic of a snake over 6 feet long, a black racer. pretty cool looking. i find generally that people fear what they don't understand, and snakes certainly fit that category. i shake my head when i hear 'the only good snake is a dead one'. king snakes kill poisonous snakes, so why would i not want one in my yard? only four venemous types of snakes in this country, many don't realize that.

i have no simpathy for snakes that enter peoples yards illegally or against the law. they just want to have they're snake babies all over someone elses lawn. and i'm not a snakist. i might actually be married to a snake. anyway we may disagree but i respect your opinion. enjoy you're weekend.

What? No spelling/grammar corrections?!~

It's sympathy - not "simpathy", and
it's people's - not "peoples", and
it's their snake babies - not "they're snake babies", and
it's someone else's - not "someone elses", and
it's enjoy your weekend, not "enjoy you're weekend"
and can you not negotiate the shift key to capitalize the first letter of each sentence?

So many heaped abuse on Nascar1966 (who I admit - I cringe at some of misspellings and grammar errors), but if you're gonna call one out - call 'em all out, or just let it the hell go.

I'm not falling for it. There is no way that this can be real. Doreen and hi_im_god must have formed some sort of secret internet comedy duo. There just can't be any possible way that even she could miss the joke so completely.

Is there?
