Probably because we take care of them before they can bite anyone.  

It called proactive thinking but I guess the snakes are more important then our kids?
I think anyone who disagrees with this should have all the snakes from my pasture dumped in their back yard! that otta do it!

Well thanks, BUT...the secret is wearing a dark shirt that matched the dark seat of the car so you can't really see where my blubber body ends and the seat begins and then leaning out so my double chin doesn't show! I have mastered the art of photo taking...or is that ripping the camera out of peoples hands and deleting all the sucky photos of me....not sure.

Anyone here do MediFast? I do, but I haven't been very faithful this year.

MediFast? Nope, but me and my husband lost all weight when we stopped eating grains. Got new knees and a new back out of it too! Bread is the devil

I know a handful of people on the Paleo that it has changed their lives dramatically for the better. After stopping grains both our blood pressures returned to normal and my hubby no longer has to take heart medication. My hubby is slimmer than he was in high school!

Yep, sometimes relocating just doesn't work.

What is medifast? My husband and I are starting on a smoothie diet. I want to lose the last ten pounds of baby weight that won't come off no matter what I do!

Ten pounds? Amateur! MediFast if supposed to be for people with 30+ pounds to lose.

MediFast is a strict diet that was created by doctors. The basic numbers are:

Less than 1000 calories
Carbs 80-100 (although people usually stay around 85)
Less than 30 grams of fat (again, people usually stay lower)
Around 80-100 grams of protein (I get at least 100g)

You order prepackaged meals online or go to a clinic. Most of the meals are powdered but they do have chips and pretzels.

You eat five MediFast meals and one Lean/Green meal a day. There are lists of veggies, proteins and fats to choose from.

It is tough and expensive ($340 a month) but works fast. You can also gain back VERY quickly if you don't go through the whole transition and maintenance phase...which I did not do.

Be careful with the smoothies. A lot of those fads include lots of fruit and that translates to pure cups of sugar. I have seen people do this and then a few months down the road they have to make several denist appointments and wonder why their hair is thinning. Kick all grains out of you life and it will drop off quick. Also beware of hydrogenated oils as they are toxic. Do not be afraid of animal fats. Fat does not make people fat. So many sick people out their. I used to be one of them. So now that I have found the fountain of youth I will never go back. Make bone broth instead. Full of nutrients and will give you energy all day without all that sugar. Sugar feeds cancer.

I got another one laying too but she always lays it on the ground rite in front of the coop and by the time I find it the others have stepped on it. Any suggestions on getting her to lay in the nest?

I don't know if it works yet but I have been having one of mine do the same thing. I put another box on the ground by where the girl is laying hoping that she will get the idea. I noticed my older ladies get first pick with the more popular boxes. I think sometimes they are like hey I gotta go Now! Bloop
