Snakes eat rats.
Cats eat spiders.Snakes are friends of farmers.
And so are cats.

Wild, but true! I'll post a video of a cat hunting and eating a spider on social.
Your pup's smart, Phillipa - worms are high in protein. Hmmm...dried worm jerky. :)Ava

it slithered into class and right under that table we all sat around
I climbed underneath and gently put it into a bucket and brought it outside......but I digress
I apologize. I suppose the venom/snake metaphor is a poor one.
I just can't take the hostility, coming from no one person in particular, but from many different people.

> I just can't take the hostility, coming from no one person in particular, but from many different people.I wish there were less hostility, too. But hostility is part of life. But apologizing afterwards like you just did can at least temper its impact. Thanks,
Bob

LOL!My apologies to Bob and Obsidian for laughing as I mean no disrespect, but that is so funny!!
Imagine tweeting that...people might think it's from a Discovery Channel forum.
Thanks for pointing that out! LOL! I have an off-beat sense of humor...

LOL!And there are so many different kinds of snakes - depending on one's point of view.
Fill in the blanks from any point of view, and it's all still very funny...LOL!!
I can't stop laughing about it. LOL!!! I think the heat's finally gotten to me.
G*d, I'm in dire need of shredding down the slopes.

I certainly don't think so sid.
I was shocked to hear you ask that & couldn't for the life of me figure out why you would ask that!
((you))
luv, Kath
PS - have people told you you're weird?

What brought this up?
To tell the truth, I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would say such a thing. You are, of course, unique. What is the definition of weird, anyway? Is it possible that some people are uncomfortable with your uniqueness? If they are, I am sure they represent a minority of people intolerant of people who are different.
Do you feel that you are different?
In what ways?

Sid,I'm going to be completely honest with you.
I think you are a sweet genuine person. And I appreciate your openness and honesty in all of your posts.
You are not weird...and if my laughing over the above posts have made you question this...I'm sorry :)
If anyone's weird - Well, that would be me. And I'm proud of it! Just ask my hot new therapist...poor guy's
already got his hands full! We can't get through a session without me cracking-up on the floor over the
irony and the madness of it all!I just happen to have a twisted sense of humor and find most everything funny. It's not what you wrote, but
how the threads happened to line up! LOL!I've always thought you would be just the sort of person I would enjoy hanging out with! ((Sid))

yeah, they do, but generally it seems to be in a likeable way, some people though, I really don't think they like me.

People laughing, I mean I know it's a weird post, but more than anything it just doesn't make a lot of sense

in the ways that I think, sort of vaguely and loosely sometimes

I think you are different.
It's part of your charm.But is everyone is normal until you get to know them?
Anyway, if we're all unique, can there be such a thing as normal?
Normal for me is a plot by media and academic interests.

******************************************************Awww...((Sid))) I'm so glad I was home to catch your post so that we can clear it up. It's definitely not you...it's the weird moi!! LOL!
I'm sorry you're having a rough day, Sid. I read your withdrawal post earlier, and wanted to wish you good luck. I know you can do it!

Exactly!!

No one I've ever met is normal before or after I get to know them. : )

I love the way your mind works, Sig. *You* are unique and charming.I wouldn't mind joining you on the fun farm with animals, friends, smoking and such.
I would run around bare-footed in a flowery hippy dress with my flowing hair...
And you would entertain me with your sparking intelligence and wit...
And I would laugh just at the right moments...
Not quite like a cross between a wine commercial and the Algonquin round table...
But more like Paul and Linda Mccartney on the farm with sheep, horses, and music...
LOL!Thank goodness you are different, (Sig).
Ava :)

Ava, you could explain to me whether the normal distribution is a property of some or all populations, and why some have it and some don't. Height in humans seems to be a normal distribution. Stones on the ground does not. Is there some connection between the rise of biological psychiatry and the decline of the novel? Is there a seductive quality to the perception that one is or has been part of a criminal racket? And so on.

Dear Sig,
This is not 101. This is more like Homer's Odyssey 501.
And it could be a snare of sorts. En Garde!
I need more coffee to do mental gymnastics!
(Hope I don't strain anything.)I'll be back. : )
