Haha, thanks philly now I just have to get over my unreasonable fear of anything new! lol::

aha That is horizontal thinking!!!...this explains a lot....I knew there had to be a reason I'm struggling with these crosswords, I need to get me a hammock

I've always thought the way snakes move is just completely and utterly cool. But despite having an uncle who still goes out looking for reptiles and amphibians, that bug never rubbed off on me. Which I feel is a shame, since I enjoy mammals and birds so much.

And I'm also damn glad there are no poisonous snakes around here. I can deal with mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, flies, and folks from Pennsylvania and New York. But poisonous snakes? No thanks....

Ha! I'm surprised they haven't already, no matter how much you say no.

Guess what I got you for Christmas... it rhymes with petal mirror knowledge

Awww, look at those eyes! You can't ever say no to that!

Whoops! Just realized I posted this on my own profile. ::

4 flying around? Are these big, black birds? Like this turkey vulture?

Yes! It's incredible how easily you can entertain a dog and make them happy (and how long they stay happy). :: I can be pretty easily entertained too though. I just wish my happiness lasted longer.

She's a border collie. Here's a few pics... http://www.socialphobiaworld.com/post-a-picture-of-your-pet-34694/page-3/#post538935

I like sledding, but I like playing with my dog in the snow too. She's too rambunctious to bury though. :: She absolutely loves snow. Even if she's by herself she'll just roll around in it. Sometimes she'll even just sit outside or on the porch and watch the snow fall. For a dog that was born in the summer, she loves winter the most I think.

Oh I just want it for the holidays. I love snow during this time of the year. Then after February I get sick of it. ::

Hey, it did last night and this morning. Then the sun came out and now it's pretty much all gone. I hope we get more soon, and it better stay this time!

I wonder if that's what they mean by horizontal thinking

It depends on a few things. First, do you have extra frozen rats lying around? If so, it would probably be best to thaw one out first. It's a bit difficult to tear one up to eat if it's as hard as a rock.

Second, it depends on what kind of hawk you're trying to lure close. I could see a red-tailed hawk coming down for a rat, but maybe not a Cooper's hawk (they mostly go for birds). If it really starts to smell you might get a turkey vulture.

Of course if you leave it out overnight you could get all kinds of other critters. But if hawks only went after live food it would be a lot harder to have them in zoos.

Oh, and if you put something out, try to avoid stuff like chicken or beef. Or any meat without skin and fur, really. Nasty stuff like hair helps to clean their "stomachs." And a hawk might not recognize a processed carcass as food, like we do.

Hey philly I hope you are well atm. lol at this "study" I don't understand why some users in here are so persistent in wanting to see my photo!?

Um... I don't know? Heh. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll find random quarters under or near the crane machines. That's why you always check.

Oh, I can just see the tv ads now. "Please seek medical attention immediately if your normal behavior lasts longer than 4 hours."

Oh, but I've been there! It's so devastating. :: Especially when you're on your last quarter.

Haha, I'm not sure what my secret is actually. Just having a good eye, I guess? Oh, and think it through before you attempt. Just going for it never seems to work. See where you need to guide the crane to get what you want, taking into account the position of the object and where the crane would grab it the easiest. Those are just my tips. I make it sound like a life or death situation, ha!

I'm not so sure about that one. Wouldn't the civilized world as we know it just come screeching to a halt if I did that?
