Why in god's name is he pulling all of the drawers out so far? I would only open it a crack and then stick the rats in there.

 

The fear from hearing rattle snakes rattling but not being able to see them while exploring in AZ as a kid hasn't left me haha

 

not mr. whiskers ):

 

If I ever get a dog I'll be so paranoid to take it hiking on the trails around LA, I hear rattlers all the time on those hikes.

 

Balls of steel on that man.

 

Spider crabs are so creepy

 

That freaks me out when I'm on narrow and/or overgrown trails. I try to suppress any thoughts about rattlers because I've only seen 4 in the last 5 years (one of which didn't rattle because I saw it early and gave it space). I don't mind them in general, but when I don't see them until I'm right on top of them.. that scares the hell out of me.

 

The best burrito place in dublin opened up a new place beside where I work. I'm going to be so broke.

 

Yeah, but think about the amount of burritos you'll have in the long run.

 

I came about 6 inches from stepping on a snake (not a rattler it was fall colored, not sure what) and I almost had a heart attack. Fuck that. My brother also put a scorpion on me once so ya I'm not so into poisonous things

 

That's happened to me twice. I wasn't watching where I was stepping one day so I can't say how close I was, but it was close. I jumped like 10 feet in two steps haha. Here's a picture of it. It's at like 10x zoom so that should put into perspective how far away I ended up.
Have you heard of tailless whip scorpions? I've seen two of those and they're creepy to the max. I'll save you all the trauma of posting a picture. Feel free to Google it.

 

Hi, I'm new. I've been a member on AP.net, but I only posted for a few weeks before disappearing again. The new board seems more appealing though, so I'll try to stick around this time.

 

well now I wish I hadn't heard of them fuq those are like daddy long legs mixed with scorpions haha. and that's terrifying, i'd be happy never seeing diamondbacks again in my life.

 

They're all a constant reminder that I'm the last person that should be camping or hiking haha. I know you have to face your fears to get over them, but man, that's way easier said than done with some of these critters.

 

Very annoyed rn cause the girl who closed last night did a shit job. Floors are dirty as hell, the espresso machine hasn't been cleaned, and the compost hasn't been taken out. Bleh.

 

Wife and I are in the process of buying a house, I have to go through a 4-6 hour home inspection tomorrow. Send beer.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking!

 

Making an appointment for an oil change shouldn't feel like an accomplishment. But maybe 'cause I've put it off for 2,000 miles.

 

I am the worst about car maintenance.

 

lolwut

 

I'd be better at it if I had the money to afford it. I'm just driving to Atlanta this weekend and figured an oil change/tire check might be a good idea.

 

I'm listening to Eno's Another Green World for the first time. Really enjoying it.

 

You took this picture? Because I would be running fifty feet away from where that thing is looking

 

Can't figure out a way to stop my dog from getting in the trash, so I moved the trash can into the bathroom

 

Our beagles used to be really good at getting into ours. We got a latched can that they couldn't open.
