Thanks for the first snicker of the day. I was referring to the article, where it said "Turtles can carry semolina," which I am sure was supposed to be "salmonella." I hope you didn't think I was criticizing your writing (unless you actually wrote the article). Naturally, I went looking for a picture of a turtle and pasta to make a funny.
You didn't laugh, I guess, so I did it wrong... :^(
“dumber than raised pheasants?”
I have never had a pheasant so I can’t answer that. The Guineas will spend all day long running 30’ back and forth without ever figuring out that if they flap their wings three times they can fly over the fence just like the chicken beside them just did.
I’ve had little luck with rabbits. It’s almost like they don’t like me. When I was 9, a rabbit head-butted me—seriously! Then another rabbit shin-butted me and that hurt like heck. I’ve hated rabbits since. I don’t find them adorable at all, but then that’s just me. :D
My Gramma had a Rhode Island Red rooster that liked chasing me and pecking at my ankles. I enjoyed dinner very much that night...chicken ‘n’ dumplin’s.
While we agree with rescuing cats (all of ours are rescues and are spayed or neutered), the photo was horrific and unwarranted.
I somehow caught these vicious little microscoptic skin mites around a year ago and i’m having a frigging damn hard time figuring out how to eradicate and get them the F off me.
They’re pretty exotic i suppose....
You can have them.
:)
my sincere apologies
As a kid we had an Irish setter....they, as a breed are noted for being dumb as a box of rocks. Hard to train but a beautiful dog..

Adolf Kitten.
That can be cured...
I'll name that one Smokey, the rest are Thanksgiving, Christmas, Soup pot, Collard Greens, Roasted, Fried, and Sandwich
No worries. I hope I gave you a grin, that’s all. I’m not always a “serious” poster. Turtles and pasta....what’s not to laugh at??
When I was in South Korea courtesy of Uncle Sam in 1961, the cure for crabs was a dosing of a special powder from the supply room.
There were benefits from having crabs, though. It was said then that you never walked alone.
Nah, what you want is a straight razor, gasoline, matches and a .45. First shave one side, douse the unshaven side with the gas, set that side on fire and shoot the little SOBs as they run out to escape the flames...Drill Sgt’s advice on dealing with crabs.
Hmmmm. We have had a number of worst pets, mixed in with our good ones.
My brother kept snakes. They were ok, until one escaped and my mother screamed the house down when she found it. Of course, Mr g’s brother decided to induce hibernation in his snake when he ran out of mice, so he put his in the fridge. I can still hear his mother’s scream echoing through the universe, even though this happened probably 15 years before I met her.
My brother also had a horned toad for a while. It was fun to watch him eat meal worms, and to take him in the yard and watch him eat ants like crazy. Not real cuddly however. And his little weird independent eyes were really creepy.
I had a pet skunk. He was beautiful, fun to walk on a leash, but nippy. He loved chasing crickets in the garage, but since he wasn’t de-skunked correctly he went back relatively soon.
Lots of worst pets come from teachers. My kids have had hermit crabs and one teacher gave us the pet frogs at the end of the year. We also had one give us a centipede. Gee. Thanks. Lots of crap to buy, not much luck keeping them alive, drama when they die.
We had a gerbil that was probably related to Attilla the Hun. Vicious little rodent.
We’ve had a slew of good pets too.... dogs and cats, most of them rescues.
LOL!
That’s bad—really bad. So bad, it’s funny.....
