You should get some of these. These are AMAZING! So easy to use and you don't have to tug and pull and worry about not getting the head of the tick out. And they are CHEAP! There are other products out there like these. Maybe you can find them in the store or something silimar, just a different brand. I'm wanting to say that I saw something similar at Walmart. Not sure. But it's what we use and never have a problem. Super easy. Just for future reference. I had a tick bite on the back of my knee. Super awkward place. It hurt is how I became aware of it and oh man did it itch for forever after I removed it. And was red for quite a while too. But thankfully it didn't get worse and no bullseye so I was ok.

Thanks! I think I actually do have one of those I got a while ago at Walmart for the pets. Maybe will have to find it and use it lol I think it’s like tick tornado or tick twister or something like that. But I wasn’t home. And normally tweezers work alright but it hurt so I just yanked it out with my hands lol I don’t think you’re supposed to do that. But idk. I think it squeezes the tick. But good to know it might not necessarily be bad just because it hurts and is red lol

Is this not the cutest little cockerel? Someone local to me was giving him away for free because they aren't allowed roosters where they live. 4 month old Frizzled Cochin. I think he is just so adorable! He was snatched up by somebody within minutes.

Yeah, that is what they are called! Now there are all kinds of different brands for the same tool. They are cheap enough you should grab an extra set or 2. Keep a set in the glove box of your car. Yeah, you probably squeezed it and didn't fully get the head out and that is why it is irritated. It'll get better once the stuff runs its course.

Power isn’t expected to come back until 2:30. We were cooking lunch when it went off.

Are you sure you aren't some famous professional photographer?

There are more people that know who I am than there are people that I know but I am definitely not famous. In order to be a professional, one must get paid. I don't get paid so therefore I am not a professional.

One must be careful where you submit your photos. Most of the places running contests use them as a means of gaining full rights to photographs while giving very little in return. They end up making a lot of money from the photographs while the photographers are very poorly compensated.

The one of the young Pronghorn Antelope in the snow took second place in the Wyoming Wildlife photo competition and was published in the February 2007 edition of Wyoming Wildlife.
