Oh Craigslist, You Amuse Me So!

Yeah, I actually responded to that ad. They told me that they had 8 hens and wanted $8 each. I asked what kind they were, their ages, asked for photos, etc. No response after that.

I responded to a few others and some responded telling me that they didn't have any chickens. Strange.

On another note, I did end up with 7 of my 9 pullets being cockerels, and I was successful in trading them for hens after posting them on Craig's List.

Isn't that a little suspect, someone giving your hens in exchange for cockerels?

Did they say why they wanted them?

This Black Friday a lot of stores were (and still are) bundling a free copy of Grand Theft Auto with the PS4 to compete with the pre-bundled Grand Theft PS4 version sold by their competitors...

My guess they got the game for free with the system, and possibly rented a few games for their child to 'test' it out before committing to purchasing more games...

But, $400 is no deal, it can be had for the same price brand new at Walmart...

PlayStation an X-Box are both marketed at the older gamer. Nintendo is marketed at kids....

Lost as to why anyone is buying any game systems anymore. Once the hardware makes its way in to a game system it is outdated stuff the PC gamer has been using for several years. Same with the games.

Simple, the near seamless online connectivity and community across the entire gaming platform and most importantly hardware compatibly and knowing the 'newest' game will run on your existing hardware...

For me as a casual game player, I don't miss the days of having to check the 'minimum system requirements' of every game I was interested in playing before purchasing, and even then there was never a shortage of times my PC exceeded those requirements only to find the game running like a slug or crashing endlessly due to some other conflict...

Also for younger kids, IMO game systems can't be beat due to their pure simplicity and inability to mess something up...

And last but not least, a vast majority of the people I know can't even keep their PC running smoothly for basic Internet and Email for any extended period of time, but there game system works like day one everyday and keeps going and going...

Well steam is the center of PC gaming now so playing online threw the PC is just as simple an the game systems. If I see a game I want I can click an buy it on steam. It installs it an handles all the updates. It also tells my friends what I am playing so they can click an join me. I also have not had a compatibility issue in years an only then it was cause I was hand picking parts. The only game I have ran in to that I cant play on my 2 year old $300 PC is Day-Z but it is still in alpha.

Now if I used a PC like a game system is used it would be pretty reliable too. Meaning I replaced it for $500 every few years with a new factory made system, only used it to play games(no internet) an I only got games that are several years old or built on a several year old game engine, an I ran the games at low graphics settings.


Most games on Xbox one an PS4 games are running 30FPS at 1080P. Some are a little better like minecraft running at 60 FPS but my $800 laptop running windows 7 from 2010 out preforms that. It gets hot doing it now though sense the fan has died.


I use to have all the systems all the way up to the xbox 360. Made sense when PCs were complicated an you wanted a kid to be able to just put a disk in an click play. I didnt even game on the PC back then cause of the hassle. But today in the PC world buying a game is just one click, an playing it is just as easy. I dont see me going back any time soon.

here my dilemma and why i need a snake charmer please read it all so you can understand it to the fullest

Snakes also known as Garter Snakes (Thamnophissirtalis) can be dangerous Yes, grass snakes, not rattlesnakes. Here's why.

my wife and myself in Burgaw nc, had a lot of potted plants. During a recent cold spell, the wife was bringing a lot of them indoors to protect them from a possible freeze.

It turned out that a little green garden grass snake was hidden in one of the plants. When it had warmed up, it slithered out and the wife saw it go under the sofa.

She let out a very loud scream.

ME the husband (who was taking a shower) ran out into the living room naked to see what the problem was. She told me there was a snake under the sofa.

i got down on the floor on my hands and knees to look for it. About that time our family dog came and cold-nosed me on the behind. i thought the snake had bitten me, so i screamed and fell over on the floor.

my wife thought i had had a heart attack, so she covered me up, told me to lie still and called an ambulance.

The attendants rushed in, would not listen to my protests, loaded me on the stretcher, and started carrying me out.

About that time, the snake came out from under the sofa and the Emergency Medical Technician saw it and dropped his end of the stretcher. That's when i broke my leg and why i`m still in the hospital.

my wife still had the problem of the snake in the house, so she called on a neighbor who volunteered to capture the snake. He armed himself with a rolled-up newspaper and began poking under the couch.. Soon he decided it was gone and told the woman, who sat down on the sofa in relief.

But while relaxing, her hand dangled in between the cushions, where she felt the snake wriggling around. She screamed and fainted, the snake rushed back under the sofa.

The neighbor man, seeing her lying there passed out, tried to use CPR to revive her.

The neighbor's wife, who had just returned from shopping at the grocery store, saw her husband's mouth on the woman's mouth and slammed her husband in the back of the head with a bag of canned goods, knocking him out and cutting his scalp to a point where it needed stitches.

The noise woke my wife from her dead faint and she saw her neighbor lying on the floor with his wife bending over him, so she assumed that the snake had bitten him. She went to the kitchen and got a small bottle of whiskey, and began pouring it down the man's throat.

By now, the police had arrived.
Breathe here...

They saw the unconscious man, smelled the whiskey, and assumed that a drunken fight had occurred. They were about to arrest them all, when my wife tried to explain how it all happened over a little garden snake!

The police called an ambulance, which took away the neighbor and his sobbing wife.

Now, the little snake again crawled out from under the sofa and one of the policemen drew his gun and fired at it. He missed the snake and hit the leg of the end table. The table fell over, the lamp on it shattered and, as the bulb broke, it started a fire in the drapes.

The other policeman tried to beat out the flames, and fell through the window into the yard on top of the family dog who, startled, jumped out and raced into the street, where an oncoming car swerved to avoid it and smashed into the parked police car.

Meanwhile, neighbors saw the burning drapes and called in the fire department. The firemen had started raising the fire ladder when they were halfway down the street. The rising ladder tore out the overhead wires, put out the power, and disconnected the telephones in a ten-square city block area (but they did get the our house fire out).

Time passed! myself and neighbor were discharged from the hospital, the house was repaired, the dog came home, the police acquired a new car and all was right with their world.

A while later they we`re watching TV and the weatherman announced a cold snap for that night. my wife asked me if he thought they should bring in their plants for the night.

And that's when i shot her. if you catch the snake that will be your pay a new pet to take with ya
