I wonder if this story about a snake in the washing machine is true? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/2/story.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10522282 Any relation to "our" Ranger? >I wonder if this story about a snake in the washing machine is >true? > http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/2/story.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10522282 > > Any relation to "our" Ranger? Alas, not even distantly related. Clan Ranger is allergic to those extreme northern climes. I'm on the Left Coast (People's [DemoKratic] Republic of California), Northern Fiefdom.

I'm like that bad penny, BBQ Boob; I show up at the most inconvenient moments (just not nearly so poorly used and abused). :) ObTopic: Escaped reticulated python pets are becoming very common. If you notice Fluffy Long-hair or Jorge the Chihuahua missing, you might just check under your house for the culprit.

Perhaps pythons prefer their bunny roasted! > I wonder if this story about a snake in the washing machine is true? > http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/2/story.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10522282 By coincidence, the day before last I was telling the 6-year-old next door about the time a reticulated python sneaked up on our machine gunner. I couldn't shoot because it would have alerted the enemy. The boy had asked where I'd learned to pound the back of a knife blade to cut a watermelon. I told him my bayonet was dull and I had to pound it to cut the snake's head off. This TV story, on the other hand, is not true. No python is 2.1 miles long. It couldn't get into the washer basket through a water supply or drain pipe. > Any relation to "our" Ranger? No, but I'm flattered that you asked. People tell us we look like brothers, but that's because we dress alike. Our relationship is a bromance. >> I wonder if this story about a snake in the washing machine is true? >> http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/2/story.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10522282 [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > brothers, but that's because we dress alike.

When I was a child we ( my brother and I)were always sat on the draining board on an evening for a wash before supper and bed. I especially hated it when my mother soaped the flannel and did my legs, then a wait whilst my brother had his done and I would have to sit squirming until the soap was rinsed off. No showers back then, in fact I still do not have one. I prefer a bath with a hand held shower to rinse. >>>>> I wonder if this story about a snake in the washing machine is true? >>>>> http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/2/story.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10522282 [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >rinsed off.

It leaves the skin less dry and has a light fragrance (if I had my way everything I use would be fragrance free). I prefer the hand-held shower heads too--much easier shower stall/body rinsing. The best time to apply a skin lotion is after bathing. Years ago I took the advice of a doctor and used petroleum jelly (or vegetable shortening) on my skin after bathing during the winter months--guarantee you won't have dry rough skin any longer. A very small amount does the trick. It helps soften the calluses on my working hands/feet too. > On Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:43:57 +0100, "Mrs Bonk" <arse@nospamcutey.com> >> I could not abide to have soap left on me.

Shania Twain and I use Bag Balm®. It contains lanolin, which a paper presented at the 1888 convention of the American Pharmaceutical Association proved is an excellent antiseptic that penetrates skin better than petrolatum. (It's not sold locally, but my neighbor gave me the key to the shed where he keeps his supply.) > I'll bet you couldn't sleep with a pea under your mattress.

(It's not sold locally, but my neighbor gave me > the key to the shed where he keeps his supply.) I believe some of my skin creams contain lanolin. They never protected me from a recent illness. My doctor thinks I had some type of bug akin to Salmonella. I was dreadfully ill and bedridden for a week. I am being extra vigilant in my kitchen and in food preparation, not that I think for a minute I would have picked it up in my own home. >> I'll bet you couldn't sleep with a pea under your mattress. > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > minute I would have picked it up in my own home. > Dogs are carriers.

I have, however, been dog sitting a sweet little Yorkshire Terrier since who has been amazing company for me. Today- our last day together for a while, I took her for a long walk along the river and through the woods and fields. I saw plenty of blackberries and a few apple trees growing wild so I may return in a few days to pick some and make a blackberry and apple jam. >>>> I'll bet you couldn't sleep with a pea under your mattress. >>> Would I want to?

You had better spray the berries with sanitizer before picking them. Malicious birds often taint berries with salmonella. >>>>> I'll bet you couldn't sleep with a pea under your mattress. >>>> Would I want to?
