Most Southerners are not fond of them, I've found. Yes, it was a pretty big snake - thin, but long - and I was stunned that Sunshine managed to haul it inside. She later decided the outdoors was not for her and switched to bringing me stuffed animals, which I liked a lot better. :)<BR/><BR/>I hope I'll be back to normal posting, next week. I'll definitely credit all three of you if I do the meme. Thanks for tagging me. I normally jump right on these things, but I'm having a wee bit of trouble concentrating, still. This has been a much better day. <BR/><BR/>Gentle Reader,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for understanding. I'm getting back to myself, slowly but surely. I was a little caught off-guard by the intensity of my grief. I knew it was going to be hard because Sunshine was such a little buddy - really, quite a gregarious little critter. Till recently, she always greeted me at the door. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm getting there!! I'll let you know if I do this meme, next week. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-23781109331875407902007-07-27T13:41:00.000-05:002007-07-27T13:41:00.000-05:00No problem!

Thanks."<BR/><BR/>VERY funny article, and I plan to read your article in T-Zero Xpandizine. Your response to the snake, however, would <B>NOT</B> have been mine ... lol. Thanks!? And the snake was a 4-foot long one? No thanks! Not even if it was a harmless snake. Yes, I do recognize the difference, but I wouldn't want one crawling around inside MY place. When doing yardwork, I have been known to pick up snakes and move them from where I was working, but I wouldn't want one in the house. You write such beautiful stories ... thanks.<BR/><BR/>And in my (missing) comment, I tagged you (first) for the Blogging Tips Meme, before SciFiChick or Gentle Reader: <BR/>http://bonniesbooks.blogspot.com/2007/07/blogging-tips-meme.html<BR/><BR/>All I can figure is that I hit Preview instead of Post and then wandered away from here ... and therefore the comment was lost. Now I see, however, that you aren't up to a meme just now: "I think I'll pass on the meme, for now, if you don't mind. Hopefully, next week I'll be back up to speed."<BR/><BR/>If you feel up to it next week, please include me as one who thought any tips from you would be wonderful. Be good to yourself this weekend.Bonnie Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813549471704485150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-57193590946126106152007-07-26T19:53:00.000-05:002007-07-26T19:53:00.000-05:00Gentle Reader,I have no idea where I heard that, b...Gentle Reader,<BR/><BR/>I have no idea where I heard that, but it seems like a reasonable defense mechanism, doesn't it?<BR/><BR/>I think I'll pass on the meme, for now, if you don't mind.

I've also heard they grow back, but that I'm really not sure about!<BR/><BR/>Also, hope you don't mind but I'm tagging you with the Blogging Tips Meme. Check it out on my blog.
