Don't get me wrong I still have questions, I just get to answer some.

    This place is by far the best reptile community I have been able to find.

    I wish I had found this site when I got started. I began on KS chat forum. Lots of riff raft - Joe dirt in there. Don't get me wrong, I got good information as well. The bad information really sent me on a quest to find the most information about the snakes that I enjoyed, from reputable sources and several of them so I could get different perspectives. I find it a great joy to answer questions and share my animals. However, you still find a few people on every forum (not calling names, because I don't care) who have a way to do it and THAT IS THE WAY. Moral is, take stuff from the internet with a grain of salt, what works for you might not work for someone else or vise versa. We're just here to help along the way.

    BRAVO! You spelled the word right and used it in a sentence! You get 10 bonus points.

    I've gotten used to Mech from the ASF forum. But, I just thought he had some kind of dyslexia or some such. I don't know much about CP. I have a friend who has a son with CP and he breathes and eats through a machine with next to no cognitive abilities. So, I guess this is not the same CP we're talking about.

    So yeah, did you take the job, Mech?

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Re: finding yourself smarter than you know

    There are many differnt levels of CP I have one of the more mild forms, MOM got it but too in both our casesit affects the legs more than anything. For years they tried to clam it was hot able to be passed on but now they finding out it is.. As for the job they got my diablity screwed up weer if i make a 1 dollar they take 2 dollars. from me. so I am better off not trying, plus I not sure if I could maintain a job for long.. I know by the end of summer wit hthe few yads I do cut I am so worn out and dreadthe next day of cutting I glad it ends. IT the trimer ( walking part) that bothers me the most . but ti also the part I enjoy cause i scare out many a snake this way..
