Cas will be more clingy then Cupid if thats what you are worried about............ Cupid is only 2.5 months old, new environment hes scared, ragdoll cats are not as clingy as siamese.. generally ragdolls will prefer to sit beside u rather then on you because they get too hot, Cas wants to sit ontop of you all the time..

I just got back from Schoolies a couple of hours ago, it was the best time of my life, and that ain't an understatement. All the Negative Publicity about Schoolies in Surfers and the Drive up/down the Pacific HWY is a bit unfounded, although I did see two huge accidents but oh well.
The drive North and South was terrific, I had no problems with the car while I was up there. The best driving night I've ever had was when I went for a Midnight Cruise to the Springbrook National Park. Sickest Corners and really tested out my skills, haha.
So may I say again, Schoolies is probably the best Party that you'll ever experience, although it did go too quick but time does fly when you're having fun

Good to hear you back safe.
I been having giggles to myself whilst at supermarkets and overhearing the 18 year old guys (they are being check out chicks..) telling other girls as they walk by that they are going for their licence this week or next week and telling the girls they will take them for a drive ra ra ra. The girl attempts to talk about something else and he just reverts back to reminding her hes going for his licence. The girls really had no interest in hearing about his car...and even when she said she had to go hes like "yea sweet take care and i'm going for my licence next week" lol Same goes with the teenage girls. I look at them and laugh at their behaviour and fact they have to talk SO LOUD and take up SO MUCH SPACE as if to share their conversation with the entire human race. It embarresses me incase I was like that :S Actually we probably we... catching train after school in the train carriage.. there were boys around, getting their attention ra ra ra. I just look back and think oh my god how lame were we... quite embarressing really.

Wrong.............
........... 4 to 8 feet of shooting venom
Venom can be ejected otherwise than by a bite, as in the so-called spitting cobras of the genera Naja and Hemachatus. Some of these deadly snakes, when irritated, are capable of shooting venom from the mouth, at a distance of 4 to 8 feet. These snakes' fangs have been modified for the purposes of spitting: inside the fangs of a spitting cobra is a channel which makes a ninety degree bend to the lower front of the fang. When the snake is threatened the muscles of the venom gland squeeze the venom sack and as a result venom is projected forward. Spitters may spit thirty or forty times in succession, and even then the snake is still able to deliver a fatal bite.
Spitting is a defensive reaction only. The snake tends to aim for the eyes of a perceived threat; a direct hit can cause temporary shock and blindness through severe inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva. While there are no serious results if the venom is washed away at once with plenty of water, the blindness caused by a successful spit can become permanent if left untreated. Contact with the skin is not in itself dangerous, but open wounds may become envenomed.
Cheers

They can spit all they like but when you have a spade on a long handle that's been sharpened on an angle grinder they don't spit for long! 2 browns and counting!!

Look whos talking Michael. You treat women as sexual objects, are they not creatures too that require respect?
Julia, theres snakes up at my dads property also. My mum had to kill 1 as it raised its head and was coming for her, she used a block of wood, she doesnt even realise how she managed it. They have seen a few more snakes since then but dont touch them. Theres heaps around the chicken pens (thats where they keen getting seen) they sun-bake amongst the chickens and they all seem happy together. The snakes eat the rats and mice I think, since there would be heaps around there due to all the chickens, so in the end the snakes stop the mice from eating the chickens eggs and the snakes are full enough to not touch the chickens. Mum and dad just walk around with massive boots and sticks, and make a lot of noise when walking it generally scares the snakes away or basically on really hot days parents will chose to not go nowhere near the chicken area lol
