lemondrop have you heard about the spitting cobra on the lose in a Raleigh neighborhood? I cannot imagine ::shivers:: YES. My H is doing a home inspection about a mile from there today, and decided to remind me last night that he sees snakes all the time in crawl spaces. DUDE WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME THAT. "It's ok, it's nocturnal". STILL NOT OK. Someone on my local decided to mention that female zebra cobras can produce eggs by themselves, too, so that's a neat 2021 thing to think about. (I don't know if that's true, but hell if I'm looking it up). Ack. I generally like snakes in nature, but a spitting cobra in the neighborhood would have me wearing my safety goggles and tall boots.

Apparently this 21 year old dude has FORTY venomous snakes in his possession. He was bitten by a green mamba last year and they had to fly in anti-venom. Just the thought of this makes my heart race.

Yes, snakes truly don't bother me that bad. But the thought of it being dangerous to walk to your car, water plants, walk your dog is awful. The neighbors had no idea someone had one of these. All the people on edge for 36 hours and resources spent on this is 😡.

In case anyone was wondering, the cobra was captured tonight! Slithering out of the same house it was originally seen earlier this week (from inside the siding 😧), so I’m sorry that those people have to burn their house down now.

I think if I saw a cobra in the wild, I would just die of fear right there on the spot.

overboard - yay! He's so cute! We have a saying in my family: the good Lord makes the feisty ones extra cute for a reason. I've found that to be true for children and pets. 😂

To continue my dmv experience there’s a teen obviously getting his test. He’s wearing a hoodie long pants (it’s 85 deg right now at 9) and sporting a black eye. He’s gonna have a) heat exhaustion when he goes back outside and b) have that pic with a black eye for the next 4 years. I’d offer concealer to him if I had any

They make you set an appointment but holy cow is the line long The sent me a lovely mailer encouraging me to save time by making an appointment, so I went online to do so and there were none available. I'm going to have to get a babysitter for the day and go in. Not looking forward to it.

Ours way overbooked and people who had an 830 appointment got to jump ahead of people who had 9 am appointments at 9 am. Like no you’re late suffer

Omg
Because of all the rain, we'd been housebound a lot and watched a fair amount of tv, including the new Pixar movie Luca. Well, I just had to apologize to my neighbors when dd3 walked past them and shouted "what's wrong with you, stupido?!" (a line from the movie)
I am mortified.
