  1. Why snakes? Were you ever afraid of them?

    Low maintenence, relaxing (ever just sit and watch one move?), pretty (so many colors available, make awesome pets.....lots of reasons really
  2. If a poisonous snake gets into your house, would you kill it, or re-locate it?

    If I knew it was poisonous: I would see if I could contain it in a room and call someone who knows what they are doing. If I couldn't contain it, then yes I would attempt to relocate it myself.

    If I didn't know it was poisonous: I'd just grab it and relocate it.
  3. Do you ever feel bad for the mice you feed them?

    Nope. Part of the food chain
    and I'll leave it at that so I don't make our mice and rat lovers cringe.
  4. If I go to your house, am I going to see a snake crawling around?

    Nope. They are all kept in a secure room. Safety first, as well as some of my guests do not like snakes. You wouldn't know I had them if you walked into my house.

    However we do take them out and let them exercise on the stairs, and sometimes sit on the couch with them. In the warm weather we take them outside (unless my one neighbour is out.... she is scared, so I don't take them out if she's out).
  5. How long in average do they live?

    The ones I have 20+ yrs.
Thx for the ?'s..... Bring on some more

3. Burgers, as in hamburgers? Yep. With mayo, dill pickles, lettuce, cheese and tomato. YUM YUM YUM

LOL
I just found it neat, all the differences. The main one being she had never seen trees that the leaves changed colours. Her trees were mainly the ones that stay green (forget what that's called). She came in the fall, so she got to see the trees with reds, oranges, yellows... very beautiful. She also lucked out that the time she came, there was a reptile show on Sunday
From what I understand, NZ seems to be pretty strict on reptiles.... she was in her glory.

1. Facebook..... ummmmm. I was on myspace, then I tried facebook and liked it better. I'm guessing at least 3yrs.

2. Oh wow, probally about 10yrs ago... It was a fish/aquarium forum. From there I met some friends and went on to make a Woman's Group on MSN groups. Currently I belong to about 7 different forums (my women's group, here, 2 reptile forums, 2 tattoo ones and the fish one)

3. No I can't. I waited sooooo long to get another cat, since hubby is not an animal person. Honestly, when I first got Kizzy, and kept him isolated because of the ringworm and URI (didn't want the ringworm to spread through the house, even though after the fact I realised there was no way that it stayed contained cuz it could've come outta the room when I did, on my clothes) everything seemed like one thing after another, and I was getting upset. All I wanted was to be able to curl up on the couch with Kizzy.... and at the time I couldn't. A couple times out of sheer frustration, I "thought" about giving him back to his previous owner (she said she'd take him back because she didn't know he was sick when she gave him to me). I am sooooo glad that came to an end, and Kizzy is exactly the cat for me.

I cannot imagine a life without him now.

Where were you born and raised?

Born in Etobicoke ON. Raised in several small towns, London, and settled in a medium town outside of London.

Do you have siblings and do you get along with them?

4 brothers, 2 sisters
We don't see each other enough to fight
So yup, we all get along pretty well. The ages range dramatically, starting at 38, me at 31, 22, 20, 20, 19 and 15.


Do you and your hubs every fight/argue and if so, what about?

Not really. We'll bicker about little pointless things and the one sensitive issue I still have is that I have a hard time letting someone else parent my kids. I was a single mom up until 5.5yrs ago, and still find it hard when DH parents the kids. So we'll argue about that maybe once a year.

What is your favorite food?

A nicely done pasta alfredo with chicken and mushrooms. YUM

Do you cook? If so, what is your signature dish?

Love to cook. I've been told my meatloaf is to die for, but I'd say my stuffed manicotti. (
pasta)


Are you a hockey fan? If not, what is your favorite sport?

Nope. I'm not a sports fan. I used to enjoy playing them, anything from soccer, football to basketball and volleyball. But buggering up my knee when I was 13 put an end to that. I've never enjoyed watching sports.

Do you ever come to the States to visit and if so, what was your favorite destination?

I think I've been to the US maybe 5times. Last time was to OH for a car show a few years back. But I've never actually come to sight see or explore.

I would love to come see the grand canyon one day. That has been my dream since I was about 10 and saw pics in a magazine.

I tend to stay away from the Tequila. Bad things can happen

AHA!! Another victi-- I mean, spotlight member!

My questions are about your kitties!

1. All together, how many kitties have you had?

2. Which one of your kitties (past or present) is your favourite? Maybe they did something special or extra cute?

3. Why did you name your current kitties what you did?

4. Have you got any other pets besides your kitties (and snakes!)? If so what animal are they, what are their names and how do they interact with your kitties? Maybe they curl up together?

5. If you could swap places with one of your cats, which one would it be, why would you swap with them in particular and what would you do?

1. All together, how many kitties have you had?

Ummm. Lots. We lived out in the country when I was younger and I had lots of "barn kitties". Aside from those, I got Gysmo when I was 16. We had to put him down about 6yrs ago. I did some fostering while I had Gysmo, then no kitties till Kizzy came in Dec.

2. Which one of your kitties (past or present) is your favourite? Maybe they did something special or extra cute?

Gysmo for sure. He was my saviour. I had a difficult child/teenhood, and when I first moved out on my own at 16.5yrs old, I got Gysmo. He was everything. He saved me. He loved my daughters, would let them crawl all over him. Never hissed or bit at them even when they accidently hurt him. He was my


3. Why did you name your current kitties what you did?

Kismet got his name because of its meaning. It means fate/destiny


4. Have you got any other pets besides your kitties (and snakes!)? If so what animal are they, what are their names and how do they interact with your kitties? Maybe they curl up together?

Aside from Kizzy and the snakes, I have a dog Brandy who unfortunately will have to be put down sometime, it all depends on what the tumor does. I also have 2 huge fish tanks. I named 2 of my fish, BellyUp and Spotz, they were about 8yr old plecos...huge, about 18" and would hand feed. Brandy and Kizzy get along pretty well. They will lay close together but not snuggled up with each other.

5. If you could swap places with one of your cats, which one would it be, why would you swap with them in particular and what would you do?

I don't know if I would switch spots with Kizzy or not. It would be nice to be as spoiled as he is tho and have his kitten energy.
Thx for the questions
It's fun

Here are a few for you.The theme is (mostly) desert island, i.e. suppose you were stranded on one... and don't worry about the technology to support your choices, that will be taken care of...

1. What would be your five Desert Island CDs? They don't need to come from your own collection. Why would you choose these particular ones?

2. You might also want some reading material. What would be your five Desert Island books? Why?

3. What else would you like to have with you to occupy your time and your mind?

4. Food might be a challenge. If you could have only two or three foods and nothing else, what would you choose? Why?

5. If you could have one human companion, who would that be? Why?

This one is not part of the theme:

6. If you came into a large sum of money -- an unexpected inheritance, a winning, whatever, but "set-you-up-for-life" big -- what would be the first four things you would do?
