I just read your post. I like what you had to say, as I'm fairly new here myself, and would just like to find some friends to get started., and like you said, why ask for a permanent relationship w/a complete stranger. That doesn't make sense to me either. Nice snake! I'm a dog lover myself, and had few monkeys in the past. In my younger days, I worked @ a zoo, and even though I worked in the office, I had quite a bit of hands on experience w/alot of the animals. I'm currently not working, but keep myself busy making jewelry and indian headresses (the kind that you put in your car). I also enjoy playing games on the computer (the best invention since hot dogs! ). This sight is still a bit confusing, but I'm sure I'll figure it out soon. Can't post a picture yet, as my printer has gone bizzerk on me. Well, have fun, meet lots of people, and if you like, you can chat w/ me anytime. Later! (friend I haven't met yet!) Ladybug
