Let's vent...I for one need to...I am so tired of my family and friends (who are not on this forum) not understanding my love and passion for garters. If it were any other animal or any other hobby...I feel that they would be a lot more understanding. I am getting tired of hearing them tell me that I am "obsessed with those snakes" and to stop worrying about "those damn snakes" or telling me that all I care about is my snakes. If my snakes were a couple of poodles, I don't think they would be acting like this. If my hobby were say...golf...I don't think anyone would be acting as if I have some strange addiction or affliction. My family is acting as if I starting smoking crack, or collecting beanie babies and talking to them. If they can't understand my passion, why can't they just leave me alone to be crazy if that is what they think I am? I mean...geeesh!!!
