A week in review .......

toshamc Sep 16, 2005 06:42 PM

1. Ball python breeding is a pyramid - but not a scam (er scheme). We all breed balls simply because we love them (and the money is just a bonus) but we will whine, complain and castrate anyone that drops their price $100 less than the "current market price".

2. Avdnco's husband is much nicer than mine - hers shops at roussis mine shops at - wait what did I get for my anniversary?

3. Jared can't spell his name

4. Ken has lost his camera but gained an albino to his collection (congrats) and named it either after a Simpsons character or bodily movement?

5. Insure your snakes with Loyds of London - not delta or fedex

6. Lotsa people have better snakes than I do and I hate you all.

7. Snakes in California know when to brumate even if their keepers dont

8. Jyohe has more rat s**t than anyone on his block! As does neil. Possibly you guys can figure some what to use it as fuel?

9. Vets don't know anything, people who raise balls don't know anything and that one kid that just got his knows it all.

10. Go have a drink now ...

LOL - That depends:

I love a good Bloody Mary with my Sunday brunch

Becks and Buffalo wings with my Monday Night football

Taco Tuesday - well obviously Margaritas and tequila shooters

Wednesdays - I have a little Kettle One OTR while I'm watching my favorite Rock Star be voted out of the INXS

Thurdays - I'm a Jack and Coke girl - it's my husbands band rehearsal night and I'm usually the solo groupy (LOL) the studio is in our back yard - lucky me.

Friday - again Margaritas bow donw to the aguave god (LOL)

Saturday - well - during football season it's beer during the rest of the year I'm usually sitting around a pool with a Mai Tai.

Tosha,

I'm with you completely on numbers 1, 6, & 9

Must disagree with you on #2 - My husband is "not fond" (to put it mildly) of snakes at all, and the "3" snakes we agreed to me keeping, have multiplied without a single egg!!!

Now with my two centshaving been added, let's focus on #10!!!

You are inacurate on comment number 9 and I addressed it on the other ball section:

http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=896175,899779

Nothing wrong with asking a question, even worse when someone responds and in not so many words you tell them they haven't got a clue.

It had everything to do with this thread. Your original post was made up of 95% humility in other peoples postings previously in the week.

You post on everything anyone says on any subject stated.
It is finally time for you to close your mouth and open your ears and accept respective criticism or replies to questions you have posted without hammering them.

My reply on the other forum was to help you better understand you and your vet don't have a clue what your talking about.

Your welcome,

Jeff

toshamc Sep 17, 2005 09:43 PM

This thread had everything to do with the kid who was told by several people how to set up his tank and didn't listen.

This thread had everything to do with the Vet from hell that said that snakes need vitamins and whatever he said about the RI I don't remember it off the top of my head as well as other things that just weren't right.

This post was made in levity - which everyone else got and enjoyed besides you. For some reason you think you need to make it into something it's not - but some people are like that.

BTW - I did not hammer your friend - I know my situation and neither he nor your vet does - It has nothing to do with what your friends situation or what your vet suggested, my vet is more than competant and I trust his judgement 110% - so I thanked your friend for his input and carried on with my life.
