FLORIDA is so Prehistoric!!!Bit by a SCORPION!!!OWIES!!!RANT

[d.k]

* Somebody gave us a beautiful old Tv/stereo console once-- come to find out that it had a least 2 batches of scorpion eggs in it. My kid was playing a video game fighting mutant scorpions when a REAL one starting climbing up the cabinet. He thought he was hallucinating for a couple minutes before yelling.

OOOOHHHH KAYYY!!!
Reminder to self: do not go to FL with two ply TP...
That is the ONLY thing that I can say completely turns me into a screaming little girl...
There was a show on the TV a few years ago and there was a Thai woman on there who let scorpions walk all over her...I was sweating when they did the preview...shaking when she got in the box...I saw black spots when they poured them on her...I hit the deck when one crawled up her face and opened her eye lid with it's claw...I scared my birds and they were bagawking when I finally came to.

AND when I was at the petshop and did reptiles, they were part of that section...eww...

Florida, the state people go to die.

SHAME SHAME. I moved to Fl. to LIVE, and I have been able to have more fun on my paycheck than in NY. Life is good.
Florida may be buggier, and more crawly things that can kill you, but in NY the taxes were gonna kill me anyway

LOL....kinda funny, cause I KNOW how you feel....I am scared of almost NO creatures. However, when my 8 y/o decided he wanted a scorpion, I got chills. Well, Scorpio lives in the boys bathroom....on the back of the toilet. He seems happy there and I AM getting used to him. He even seems to ALMOST have personality. He likes to catch his crickets in mid air which I find kinda neat. I have had so many tarantulas, snakes.....not even afraid of venemous snakes....but scorpions are kinda creepy.

Chickfillhay, I hope you're all recovered and I'm glad your sheets aren't covered in drawing goo.

I feel all better now. Just my pride is hurt.

The face mudd did what I hoped it would do. Not that I knew by experience. But plain logic told me that mudd could draw it out. Kinda like toothpaste to draw out a pimple.
As for that show with the BIG BLACK SCORPIONS walking all over that Asian girl. EWE!!! Saw it and was terrified!!
When I saw my first scorpion down here in FL. I thought it all scorpions were the deadly type. I didn't know there were any other type until one bit/stung my DH. I was ready to rush him to the hospital. He thought I was overreacting. And explained to me there was more than one kind. 3 years here in Trenton, and this is the 2nd time I got stung. I am grateful this hasn't happened to my children. I would gladly get stung over and over again then let it happen to them even one time!​

Yeah, good point. Florida has had a lot of influx the past decade from all ages.
I have a few friends who moved there and a few who came back home too.

You all are getting way too overpoplulated, like many southern states.
We got overpopulated decades ago so we are used to it.​

The northerners retire to Florida, and the Floridians retire to Tennessee, so I've heard.
