I'm so sorry, Udo. I hope your memories of him give you some peace.

I'm sorry for your loss, Udo.

Udo, so sorry for the loss of your friend. Knowing these things are coming doesn't make it any easier when it does. Hugs.

Stefan, too bad about the trip for those snakes getting cancelled. I hope by some miracle someone comes through with another solution for you. In the meantime, my only advice is to continue bitching and moaning and swearing. Doesn't change anything, but at least it gets your point across!

Yeah, I'm going to bitch and moan about it. Maybe swear a little.


Maybe send a few messages to a few local herp keepers that have a significantly wider social network and maybe make a few posts on Finnish forums. In fact, I already did, so it's back to venting.

Good luck... I'll keep my fingers crossed that the Finnish herpers come through for you. You never know...

Ok, about that venting... How about a dog with a wound on his leg, who's wearing a cone collar to keep him away from the wound, which seemed secure when you left to run an errand that had to be done, only to come home to a dog with his cone off of his head, cone hanging by his collar smeared with blood, wound oozing massive amounts of thick gooey blood, blood all over the place and ants going for the blood on the floor! UGH! Thankfully I only found three ants on the actual dog... omg, I wanted to vomit and kill something all at once. Ok, whew... got that out of my system. Good news is that money is on it's way to Kyle to cover shipping on my little hybrid babies and my kids' sports physicals are done for school so they can practice next week...oh, and cone collar is back on, wound wrapped, dog pouting, ants killed, floor mopped... sigh...

That's what I like about this thread...........
Whenever you come here to complain about your day, several others beat you to it and make it seem less horrible. I don't even feel the need to vent about mine now!

If you want something done properly, you have to do it yourself. I have no idea how many times I've proven that to myself. Many, many times, that's for sure. Neither snow nor rain nor club-wielding cave trolls could have kept me from going, if I had made a commitment to go there myself.

My passport has expired and I probably couldn't get a new one in time for the show, so that option is out of the question. I really feel like smashing something. I won't.

I couldn't agree more.

[GartersRock]

I couldn't agree more.

Oh yeah...

That snafu set me back another year.

I was also negotiating the purchase of a possible T. sirtalis male, but I haven't heard anything from the owners in about two weeks. They were supposed to send me photos.

I'm really, really happy. Night.

[GartersRock]

I hate it when people are like that.
I was trying to negotiate a deal for pugets, flames and red spotteds a year back and they were really slow and vague to respond until they just cut off entirely. Grrr...
