[Ricky Vapes]

@Ricky Vapes I have decided which kid you should adopt and it is mine. He's 22 and I raised him mostly right so he's pretty self-sufficient and makes money for himself, now. But he has the same attitude toward pets and I lost count of the number of stray dogs we farmed out to friends and family because he would find them half dead. There is a famous Mission where some puppy was dying and first it was "Can I get water?" then it was "Can I give him food?" Then it was, "Can I find the Monseigneur to figure out what to do?" Sadly, the dude (ironically, it was like, a Mission of St .Francis of Assisi was like, "Oh I used to take them to the .pound there were so many..." So then it was, "Can we take him to the pound?" "Can we take him home for water and food before that?" Then it was, "Can we keep him?" I was like "Honey, you KNOW we can't adopt another dog we have two already." So my brother took him and he (this dog I was pretty sure would not survive) turned into the largest handsomest German Shepherd mix you have ever seen, crazy smart. I had to get creative sometimes with the "placements" the pound in Tucson is horrendous.

This kid is a sweetheart, for sure. Whenever he adopts a dog he heeds for the nearest pound and says "Show me all your dogs to be euthanized today and picks the one he likes best with bonus points for "Impossible to rehabilitate." The last one he got I ADORE. She was a homeless person's dog and I was fairly certain she would bite someone's arm off in the car home. But the kid is like the dog whisperer man, he freaking chills them RIGHT out. I love that dog to death and like, well, she is crazy smart, the last time we reunified she knocked me down and licked me for 10 minutes straight. She will also approach when I am on speakerphone and lick it LOL.

My only request is you feed him the stream of bunny visitors ,female and childbearing. I have been instructing him (jokingly) to cougar up and I know crazy so I could help him out with the grandchild I am fairly certain. LOL. He's all yours for the price of one (slightly cracked) grandchild, not sure what I would do if she were "normal" in fact. He can help with heavy lifting, bunny feeding and whatnot. He is also good with grandparents he could teach your mom to be normal to you.....

Oh Anna you never cease to amaze me with your antics and strange requests. I think I’ll stick with my bunnies besides I don’t trust anyone enough to take care of them I’d be terrified of one getting loose or not getting their treats on schedule

 

[Zazie]

And the wrath of a treat-deprived bunny is fearsome.

We have the largest shipping port in the Western Hemisphere, sending out 60% of exports from La. and 15% of the rest of the US. It’s also the most active foreign trade zone in the US. I call them boats too lol. Drives my River Pilot friend nuts. We’re covered up with boats. I love when it’s foggy and you hear them sounding out to each other with their horns. Eerie and beautiful. Here’s a photo someone took at a lake down off the Gulf ... love the cypress treeView attachment 885921

I could sit there very peacefully for hours on end.

"S okay @Ricky Vapes I mostly kid with my strange requests. But I PROMISE you my kid would never, ever do that.

He seems pretty happy where he is, too, there is that.

@NolaMel how much does that state suck as a whole? Where you be exactly? I have been ignoring any an all jobs in that area I think but maybe I shouldn't but it also looks swampy. Don't like skeeters at all.

Although, interestingly if you are a One who gets attacked unfairly, I have found Vitamin B12 helps a ton. I am chronically deficient for a couple reasons and once I started taking it, they bit me far far less.

As long as I had a pole or a crab trap too. Very peaceful (except the alligators)

I’m around the New Orleans area.BUt.... It’s a tall state, with very different climates/people sorts/cuisines. It’s only swamp down here by the Gulf of Mexico. And, NOLA is a place unto itself. The rest of the state is just plain ol regular USA. For what it’s worth, worst bug place ever was Montana. You’d think the cold would kill them.... nope! I don’t see copious numbers of mosquitoes here in the populated areas, but out in the swamps yes.

No doubt in my mind Carli would keep the gators at bay. Fishing, absolutely. Haven't tried crab trapping yet.

Cat versus gator in NOLA area from 2010. I'm sure you saw this.

If the water temp is below 68*, the gators generally won’t eat because they can’t digest it (the food will rot in their belly instead). If they can’t eat it, they’re not particularly interested in picking a fight. They do come out to sun though. During duck season, you’ll see people following the water temps to figure out whether or not they can take their retriever with them.
Love fishing down here. It’s so peaceful out in the open marsh (it looks nothing like what you see on tv). Sometimes we’ll put a few crab traps in at the dock to check when we come back in. I’m too impatient for crabbing unless I’m not where they are lol. You have to leave them be for a while (no peeking!!)

Working on Stevie and fluffys pad doing paneling and laminate flooring for them as well

 

[Zazie]

I think they need smoking jackets and leather armchairs, too.

If something happens to me (God forbid), and a really fluffy, silver rabbit shows up at your bunny mansion, jumping for your vape....it’s me!!! Let me in!!
I’m going to ask to be reincarnated as a Canadian bunbun so I can come live the good life!

You know, you could easily start selling bunny hotels and make yourself some more money - if you enjoy doing it

It is just awesome. It's such a complete opposite environment and landscape to anything I've seen in NZ

I don't like the watery dinosaurs so that is RIGHT OUT. Heh. I don't need to gauge whether or not something like that is "serious" about eating me or not, dude, I assume it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I almost died with a fly getting caught in a fan earlier. It must have been amplified, because I thought it was our small dog. I called to him all chipper. Then I was like, "Wait, he's outside." Then I was like, "GOD I Have been calling the worlds largest SCORPION to my side." I sat there until I heard the husband come and yelled, "Get in here it is an emergency." He fo sho made fun of me when it was a fly but it was LOUD he had this brief moment of consternation where he got up on a chair and I was like, "That is the world's largest scorpion right there." He was like, "Shut up I can't hear."

Had it been different he would no have made fun of me I guess .I don't know what I would have done otherwise, risen to the occasion? I mean, I was barefoot I might have waited til the fly got tired, etc, died. But FIRST I woudla gotten shoes. Bah.

Clearly I am not ready for alligator. They eat you. I don't need all the signs and whatnot of when they are more LIEKLY to eat you. They do. There are exceptions to EVERYTHING. No thanks.

Rabbits are famous connoisseurs of fine wood working.

I think you’re safe from gators lol. I’ve lived here over 30 years. I’ve seen more scorpions in three trips to the west than I’ve seen alligators in the wild here. And, we often go fishing in the coastal marshes (their home ground). We had one in the bayou by the dock/fish cleaning station at the camp several years ago. I took a bunch of pictures because I was excited to actually see one. Sort of like a celebrity siting in downtown Buffalo, rare as hens teeth

 

[stols001]

Okay sure I still think I may choose not to move to Louisiana "The Devil's Play ground." IDK maybe you could call AZ that I do not know....
