Yeah I've definitely seen a few Nova & Discovery channel shows with them over the years.

Not your Gramma's favorite fish tank specimen (smirks)

Really?! Do you remember any titles? Ive been searching for some. I kept trying to email that Jeremy Wade but, but couldn't figure out how to contact him at all.
They definitely grow on you

That's not ugly. That's a beautiful fish!

Thank you . They have their own charm for sure

Sure glad I don’t live there!
I don’t waste them, I feed them to the crows. They need to eat too.

. Honestly, if something edible were attacking me, i would eat it. Revenge is sweet afterall Or so they say anyway.
The ones in my tank are a different species apparently than what we seem to have here. I have never heard of the ones you're all talking about.

Those 60 minute episodes were from the 70's thru the 90's that I am recalling on this topic. Sorry to say, no titles even come to mind. The *only* detail that does seem to emerge from the fog is Sir David Attenburo(sp) narrating at least one of them and one of the "mudskipper."

I knew you were about to do this. I knew it was coming.

Raw veggies are my favorite way. And they are better for a person raw.

I cant eat raw carrots anymore. They give me a headache. . I can eat them cooked any which way just not raw.

Lamb burger is (in my opinion) closer to venison in flavor than beef. I would not make a cheeseburger with it but use it in chili, tacos or something flavored.

I cant eat lamb . It makes me sick. Awful stomach pains etc.

I just got my daily photos of my soon to be pup from my Granddaughters. They are 10 and 6.

Here they are. I love the one of the 10 year old holding the pup and the 6 year old snapping the picture. I can almost read the pups mind, another day of this. These will be the most loved and handled pups anyone ever gets. The girls love them so much.

Wow!
They have grown so fast!

Do you feed your dogs treats?

Not many at all anymore. Maybe once or twice a week. She's 14 and not doing well. However, she still manages to get into stuff anyway.

Are you planning on wallowing around in it? If not, consider it a swamp. For the people who wallow around in those types of places, there is a difference. For city people, swamp, bog, marsh, lowlands, quicksand, mire, quagmire, morass or wetland is simply a way to say, "stay away fool."

Think lots of water, bugs, snakes, creepy crawlies, mud and very little solid footing.

the rice fields usually have hard pan under 6 inches of mud. There will not be a bottom in some of these places.

That is my swamp. There are places I won’t go in it. No one should unless they plan to spend the next thousands years under the floating bog.

I shake my head at the idiots from the cities that head into it. I tried to tell one I was fifth generation here and I wouldn’t go where you are heading.

His response was, “what’s 5th generation have to do with it, I looked at it on Google earth, I know the area well now.”

He managed to find his way out the next day. He wasn’t in the mood for to discuss the merits of being 5th generation living on a swamp then.

Besides it appeared the sheriff wanted to discuss his adventure with him..

What does Google Earth have to do with this?

You heard the story about the Tax Collector showing up at a farm and saying I'm going to look around and take stock of everything.
Farmer tells him sure, just don't go in that pasture over there.
Taxman shoves the piece of paper in the Farmer's face and informs him that piece of paper says he can go anywhere and he is starting with that pasture.
About the time he gets to the middle of the pasture the bull wakes and and charges the Taxman.
The Farmer, know what would happen, yells to the running Taxman, "show him your paper!"



Just because you think you know where you are going doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to the people who have been.
