You do not want to fall and make that hip worse. And make sure your calcium levels are good. I found hip replacement to have the easiest recovery of any of my surgeries. Thank you for your advice Mimi. Graham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y’all is a contraction of you all, which is a more efficient way of saying all of you. So y’all is faster to say, but gets the job done. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of days earlier it was around Sharon's flowers and got a good reaction when she walked up on it. And the flowers Sharon was checking when she saw the snake. These are ones we have in our yard. Usually see them about this time but haven't yet. Will see if I still have a picture from a few years ago. 1 hour ago, h20skibum said: Is that one a black rat snake or a racer? I think black rat, that's what we usually get here.

I wasn't able to grab hold of it to get a closer look. Both snakes like woods which are behind the garden. Both are good guards for the garden. Another popular black snake around hear is a cottonmouth . They like wet. We have a pond on both back corners of or house and an overflow that runs directly behind the house between the ponds. I have seen them in the ponds before but this snake was not aggressive like a cottonmouth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to the charity store (very busy on a wet weekend) and added to my tbr pile. I haven’t read JP Pomare before but I’ve seen good reviews. Tonight, I am off to the theatre with family & friends. DH is respecting his friend’s paranoia and not coming (although he is symptom free and according to the official Covid guidelines is permitted out and about). Binge watched HALF of The Diplomat with Keri Russell last night (no spoilers please). Having watched & enjoyed The Americans, I am enjoying this new Netflix series. Keri Russell’s character very reluctantly posted to London as the American Ambassador with Rufus Sewell as her ex-diplomat husband, joining her and causing a stir. I just finished watching season 2 of The Marked Heart and will begin watching The Diplomat later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted April 22, 2023 #91513 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Have to say-I was a bit unnerved to see the photos of snakes posted here. I am deathly afraid of them, even photos give me a negative reaction. It doesn’t matter if they are harmful or not, I just do not like them! I know they have a place in nature, taking care of pests in the garden etc, but they give me the creeps! Just sayin’. Not sure if other posters feel this way. I am thinking that maybe posting a disclosure before posting a photo could be helpful for those with such a phobia.🙄 MJ🙋🏻♀️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted April 22, 2023 #91517 Share Posted April 22, 2023 MJ I’m with ya. The neighbor dug up the property line to put drainage tiles in last year. I had 2 in my house with in a week. Little ones but still. I wanted to move. We have a 8 lb. multipoo who thinks she’s a snake hunter. So far she’s only brought dead ones in to me. There’s been at least 3 of those. She found a live one in the house and barked until we saw it and got it out. Guess she’s good for something besides being cute. We think they’re harmless but the neighbor did have a water moccasin in his garage. There’s a pond beside his house. I pretty much freak. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted April 22, 2023 #91519 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Another great weather day here, so we decided to play golf on the Omni Resort’s par 3 course called Little Sandy. It’s a beautiful little course with very difficult greens. It’s a fun way to practice your short game and only takes about an hour.

akcruz Posted April 22, 2023 #91524 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I am right with those of you are not fans of snakes. We saw them very infrequently back in NJ, more often found the skin, even though we were in the woods with over 2 acres and down the street from a state park. Since we moved to SC have seen many, all but 1 the black "harmless" ones. My 2 distressing encounters were when I opened the front door to see one coiled up napping on the doormat, fortunately saw it and quickly closed the door, look each time I open that now. Second was soon after we bought the house I was cleaning the sliding door to the back yard, saw what looked like a shoelace in-between the door part of which was inside. When I sprayed with window cleaner it moved, this time I opened the slider a little bit and fortunately the little baby went out not in. Haven't had any in the house but see way too many outside. My previous picture was zoomed in and that was too close for me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted April 22, 2023 #91525 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I found a snake in my closet at our previous home. Screamed, slammed the door, fetched DH. He said he’d get a broom and immobilize the head and I could get the tail. Um, hard no. What’s Plan B? Or G or… 3 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
