Psalm 19:14-May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. _ Humble servant of Jesus Christ. Living His plan and praying to show it in name, word, body, and light.

They imitate about 4 different snakes..One of their tricks is to flatten out their head and try to look like a poisonous snake. If that doesn't work, they'll roll over on their back, open their mouth and play dead. Pretty funny to see.. Harmless and beneficial to have around.

Have moved 2 of them out of the yard the past couple of years. The hiss they do will cause your skin to crawl a little and they look mean...but as soon as you touch them they go belly up. You can try to roll them back and they belly up again. Then puke and crap......I try not to irritate them that much, I just get them out of the yard so they don't become the dog's chew toy. I've never seen one try to strike.

Simply amazing. +1 Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money but we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money. What's interesting is the first group WORKED for their money but the other group didn't.
