    I'm glad others have guns...just wanted to clarify that. :D And while I'm clarifying...no I don't believe in ghosts, just like I don't believe in a lot of other things other people believe in. I would have to experience it I suppose. But I believe Retic believes he has a ghost. :D And that's good enough for me. I'm just a long-haired hippie type...I'm all for love and peace and freedom. :D I'm vaping Serendipity in a newly coiled Vivi. I started on my 100 feet of 32 gauge Kanthal I bought months ago and it's not the same as what I was using. It produces higher ohms and it seems to fluctuate and I don't like it. sigh The same wraps produced a much higher ohms reading. Over and over coil after coil it's all the same so it's not operator error. :mad: So Bronze where is that place you bought all your wire from? Didn't you just order three sizes from the same place? I know I can find it in the Hardware thread but I'm lazy today. Is it good wire? I'm gonna have to order more if I can't make this work out.
    RJ I don't want to believe and I've tried to think of other explanations but the only other explanation is I've totally lost my mind and I'm pretty sure my wife would tell me if I had LOL !
     
    RJ I had the ultimate security system at one time . I lived in a complex that had a lot of burglaries going on and I put a 5 ft. canebrake rattlesnake in a cage under my bedroom window . Some ....... did manage to pry the window up and apparently thought it wasn't a good idea LOL! and left. the animal was used to me but a strange scent would get her riled up . I was professionally trained in handling venomous snakes and I used to catch them for venom research centers to make extra cash but I would never recommend this to anyone that doesn't know what they're doing but I'm surprised I didn't find a trail of crap leading away from the window LOL ! So I guess this explains the avatar y'all .

    I think getting older has made me lose some of my bad ... can't touch this I will kick your .... attitude I used to have. However, as always, I do have golf clubs and baseball bats and pool sticks hidden in and out down and up in my house (along with a basement full of machetes and large knives and tools). And I know exactly where they are. :blink: Ok Ok maybe I haven't lost all of my spunk yet. :laugh: Snakes? Scare me to death!
     
    One more story and I gotta go get some laundry done. I'm so sleepy! I'm thinking coffee. But anyway, my son became a latchkey kid at the age of 11, and he knows all about my hidden bludgeoning tools :)facepalm:). I came home the second day he was by himself (the first day my parents were there to meet him off the bus) and he had gotten a baseball bat and put it in his room. :facepalm: Broke my heart because I knew he was afraid. It's still in there.

    Y'all be good!

    Lightning vapes it is. I found him on ebay where I placed my first order.. paying multiple shipping for each of the items I bought. Sean asked me in an email why I did not use his site instead so could pay shipping just once.. :facepalm:

    Well, now I know! :D

    Not entirely a bad thing to have that fear , if you don't know don't touch but I hate people going out of their way to kill them . They have developed a medication from copperhead venom for high blood pressure with no side effects . The 2 meds I take have side effects that take other medications to counteract . The animals are very important in that regard and it affects me personally , they're also the best rodent control on the planet no place a rat can go that they can't .

    Oh Chak by the way the most dangerous animal I ever kept was a subspecies of Russel's viper from Thailand ( vipera russeli siamensis ) that animal took every chance he got to try to kill me. Very unusual , most of them get to recognise their keeper and calm down even the cobra's I had from Egypt and India are known for being nervous eventually calmed down and wouldn't get upset when I cleaned their cages . I know the russels and the cobra kill thousands of people in Southeast Asia every year but that was the only animal that ever went out of it's way to try and bite me.

    That's because you're not Thai! :p

    Indian is Indian.. to a snake atleast. :D
    Maybe so . My alltime favorite pet snake was an Indian python that I had for over 20 years she got to be 22ft. long and 250 lbs. but she really was a pet never once bit anyone even the neighbors kids sitting on her back didn't bother her .

    Similar snake story to retics. A friend in Augusta, GA had a huge Burmese Python as a pet. I believe it weighed 300# or some such. It's favorite spot was on a big shelf way above the toilet in the bathroom. Well, one day when they weren't home a nefarious individual decided to break in to rob the place and chose the bathroom window. You know where this is going:laugh: He crawled through the window and the python dropped down to have a look. The dude broke his arm flying out the window, got caught later, and then tried to sue.

    Didn't work. Don't think they were ever at risk of being robbed again after it came out in the papers.

    I notice Thai women are kinda like that, too. After 28 years she still hasn't calmed down. ;)

    The snake talk is freaking me out!

    I made it home, Chloe did great driving. Just a little trouble on the freeway on and off ramps, merging with traffic. Not so great on the school clothes shopping. I am already missing the uniforms and can hear the complaining already about not having anything to wear.

    Overall a nice day, but I'm exhausted from it!

    And look at me with a whole weekend off! That was fun.
