Someone help me

Yes...Kell deserves a prize!!!

My first introduction to geckos was in Acapulco babysitting for friends...they were all over the ceiling and I was convinced they would fall on me and eat me! Didn't sleep for 3 nights... it was awful!!!

ohhhh... i would be a morron and a wreck after three nights of not sleeping!

Kell,
Life is never dull for you is it? I'll have to whip the silly grin off my face or someone will think I've totally lost my mind.

My boss who is a very particular kind of person, had a dog that got skunked a couple of years ago. Bossman never realized that we could smell it for days on his clothes. He would just die if he knew that he had walked around smelling like skunk.

You are so lucky that the skunk didn't spray in your house as that smell obvious lingers a long time AND absorbs into everything in the house.

The mosquitos are so bad here that no one would ever leave their doors open for long. I have had issues with varmits in the garage though.........DH fusses at me for leaving it open while I garden.

Knell that without a doubt is one of the best laughs I have had in awhile. Only because it was you not I. I am so guilty of leaving doors open and DH warning me. We live in the country and i could surely wind up with anything. Think i will say lesson learned and keep my doors closed. When i need a good laugh i will just come back here.

I had to come back and see this thread again today. I'm surprised that people are still posting to it. But I agree... Kell's experience was really funny to most of us.

I had a similar (but not nearly horrific) experience this morning.
I live on a lake, and have ducks come to my front yard on a regular basis for me to feed them bread. I've been throwing bread out to them for years. This morning, I was in and out of the house a lot, and we had a cool breeze, so I left the front door open for a while. As I was walking from the kitchen into my living room, I saw something move... and low and behold two of those ducks came right into the house. I scared the pshaw out of them, and they almost flew out the front door. I had to think of poor Kell, and got tickled over it all over again.

Last August, at my nephews wedding reception, a BAT flew into the tent and couldn't get out. The women went NUTS !!!

The staff got up on a ladder and opened one of the flaps on the tent and it finally got out.

Then I hope it was a California bat and didn't violate any exotic wildlife rules!

heehee

I wonder what Kell would do if she found THIS in her house !

Hello, Harvey!

Whoever lived in that house before always had lots of flowers planted out around that giant rabbit and it looked cute. Someone new bought the place and ripped them all out for what you see now.

That thing is over 8 feet tall at the tips of it's ears.

I love it! The face is priceless. Yep, definitely Harvey.

What a shame they ripped out the flowers. I can see him sitting in a colorful bed of portulaca.

LOL, oh my Kell, I stumbled on this thread from the coleus forum, I just about peed my pants laughing!

lol
this thread is linked from another for a giggle -
Kell, I love it - you admitted to peeing your pants; a woman after my own heart - a honesty before decorum...lol

Years ago in western CO I was working nights baking for a restaurant and usually got home around 7 am. One morning I came in and there was a snake (nope, don't know what kind, but I am so afraid of snakes) curled around my chair. Hmmm...I was so tired, stll screamed and started to bolt, but being home alone, I got a shovel and tried to get it but it crawled under the bookshelves and I couldn't reach it. So, I gathered all the dogs (about 7) and took them to bed with me, blocking the space under the door with something , and went to sleep.

Few hours later I woke up and forgot about the snake, so did the usual thing - headed off to the bathroom after letting the dogs out. That big snake was on the vanity behind the door, waist height. Oh my! I was outta there in a flash - peed in the field. (younger then, a little more control...lol).

You know, I don't know how that snake ended up leaving the house or if it did for sure. A few days later, there was a big snake draped across my steps and over time ( found many sloughed skins. I think that is when I started reacting less violently to them - they were eating mice, after all, and I couldn't kill them. Still, when I see a snake, I need my generic "depends" but I don't run any more - or hardly scream...

Kell, how close are you to me? Strever is close - he's getting a visit this summer :-); I leave my doors open all the time, it's a bad habit more because of bugs-and I've managed to put a door to the outside into every room except the bathroom (which was a mistake; that's the room that really needs a door outside!). Fortunately my house yard is fenced (2/3 acre) and the bear doesn't come over it, but the fox does-he/she talks to me when I sleep outside and she always leaves her calling card near my car outside the fence. :-)

She is about 20 minutes from me in the Bay Area, nearer the Bay itself so she has milder climate than I do, not as hot.

Ah - still very far from me - not truly northern CA, but northern compared to LA... :-)

I have a little story to tell you. My family from New Jersey was visiting me here in Arizona during the summer months. My young nephew Adam loved to run around my yard chasing and catching the little lizards. One day I notice his head is soaked but the rest of his clothing is dry so I asked him what happened and he told me that he had soaked his head in the toilet because it was so hot in Arizona. He just got married last month and lives here now with his new wife and till the day he dies his name will always be Adam Pee Hurley.

ROFLOL!!! What a fun thread!

Yep, laughing so hard!!!

lolololol

Poor guy! I have a cousin called Chubby - even though he isn't, and another called Junior - built like Paul Bunyan (at least to my 10 year old eyes). But "Adam Pee" - that is TOO funny, Kathi!

How do you manage to keep your eyes so young, KaperC??

Why, Victor, how sweet! lol Actually Chubby is still with us, Junior isn't - the grammar would have been too convoluted. My sister will read this, so I have to keep it honest or she'll GET me!!

Yep, she read it. And Paul Bunyan fits. I always have to check this thread, everyone has stories to add. I keep my doors shut and lately my entertainment has been watching a raccoon bring her very young ones to my fountain at night. They're like little balls of fur and so funny! Some of my neighbors don't care for them much, they can be a bit pesty, but I love most all critters.

This is the BEST thread. There really should be a section for classic threads. What a hilarious story told by a "real time" reporter. You made it so exciting! I did just send it to a friend. Thanks.

It would definitely win and award for funniest. I laughed so hard when I first read it that I almost wet my pants.
