    A Welcome Club invitation

    From its inception, I envisioned the Welcome Club to be the kind of place that one could kick off one's shoes, be comfy, and talk about Important Stuff. First, a disclaimer: I am not perfect, and have no pretenses in that direction. I have made errors in life and hopefully, I have learned from...

    What is the most you've spent for a snake?

    I was looking around at ads for albino boas which are beautiful but pricey, and am curious as to exactly how expensive snakes can get. I am sure thay some of the current morphs bring record breaking asking prices, but does anyone actually buy them at these prices? What is the most YOU'VE...

    Mike Howlett; Houston Herpetological Supply, Good Guy!!

    I just bought a pair of Burmese from Mike and I am delighted with the snakes and with his customer service. He was willing to keep the snakes an extra week until Hurricane Rita got through here, and then he personally delivered my snakes to me. He answered my questions and is a very...

    Philosophy of life.....

    I saw this as a signature on another site and liked it so much that I brought it here for y'all to see. What do you think? "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally...

    I really thought that it was over for Lucille when I spent the gas I needed to get out away from this hurricane returning to make sure my child was safe, he was supposed to (and eventually did) leave with his gf's family but they tarried and I got worried. So, of course I have had various...

    Taxing pythons

    I am ticked off cuz I just had to pay over thirty bucks in **sales tax** on a pair of pythons. I understand the need for tax. I can see taxing income, especially the income of the very rich, which does not include Lucille. Go ahead and tax sin. Liquor, cigarettes, etc. Even clothes, cars...

    Luxury

    I gave a friend some tax outlines at the beginning of the semester, I always try to share the materials I no longer need in school. He and his wife surprised me with a nice box of Godiva chocolate today. To me, that is real luxury, I do not buy chocolate that expensive for myself. Also on my...

    Nicknames.....

    Some of y'all chose some fairly strange screen names for use on this site. But, if you had a choice in the 'real world' of a nickname of your choice, what would it be, and why did you choose it?? (Be careful, if it matches and we like it, you may own it, lol....)

    How much does a tankful cost you?

    Friday, my teeny little Corolla cost $35 to fill up at the station. That is serious money: I remember tankfuls of gas for under $10 some years ago, and when I was younger, filling the Honda 175cc for a couple bucks How much did it cost you last time you filled your vehicle at the service station?

    Food choices

    I started thinking about food, food prejudices, and food customs this morning after seeing a thread entitled 'Snake recipes' on another site. Personally, I think pizza is Nature's most perfect food, on a list along with Blue Bell ice cream, lasagna, chocolate, fresh French bread, Reese's peanut...

    Opportunistic predators....

    In the wake of the Katrina disaster, all of a sudden there are advertisements and businesses springing up that seem questionable to me. I like fun as much as the next person (maybe more, lol) but this ad rubbed me the wrong way. Am I over reacting, or what do YOU think...

    Quality and participation

    There are various online vendors both here on Fauna and in general, and it seems to me they fall into several broad categories: 1) There are some that are in the middle of every controversy and tempest as participants wherever they are 2) Some are onlookers when it comes to controversy...

    Your opinion of the perfect Party

    I was just reading the description of a party I was invited to but did not attend, that lots of people showed up and there was a keg, jello shots & etc. There are all kinds of parties: large loud ones, kid's parties (I used to take the kids when they were little to Chuck E Cheese's which is a...

    Teenagers, a rant

    I love my teenage son and he is a good kid, but he deftly and charmingly gets out of most of the chores he is assigned to do around here, which actually are not all that many. The most important one is the yard work. He is off with his friends. When he returns, I am thinking of telling him...
