Hello from Oklahoma!

From first looking at the pic I thought your brother was actually Kid Rock

Welcome...I've seen you on the general discussion forum.

No one has really heard of Hoschton, Georgia, either...

I'm Rebecca, by the way, one of several Rebecca/Becky members.

Welcome, from San Diego. You might have heard of it - I'm new to mantises as well.

And wow, there are a lot of beckys on here.

So, are you a real, 92000+ San Diegan? The closest I got was 91942!

 

[Opivy]

hah, not at all. In fact I had no idea what you were talking about until I made a google.

 

[ZoeRipper]

There's only one response for this:

LOLWAT

Guess not! When I saw Inland Empire as yr location, I thought that it was a reference to the David Lynch - Laura Dern movie, so I did a bit of Googling myself. You're kind of a long walk from San Diego, though! So far as I can see, the region ends north of Highway 8!

 

[Opivy]

It absolutely is a reference to the David Lynch movie (notice my avatar)

I am a huge Lynch nut, always have been. You can't believe how excited I am to find someone that even has HEARD of INLAND EMPIRE.

We definitely have to chat some time - I'll shoot you a PM -

Also, you'll probably recognize my halloween costume, I do this every year and have yet to have someone recognize it. (Although I once did it at a midnight viewing of Blue Velvet, and many people recognized it)

Sorry to sorta derail -

What kinda mantises do you have Zoe?

 

[ZoeRipper]

What kinda mantises do you have Zoe?

None yet.

I'm getting Chinese, Carolina, and Egyptian ooths.

 

[Opivy]

Cool! I have giant shields, and 1 egyptian. Had an ooth laid from one of the shields, so I'm expecting babies in a month!

Excited, but scared about being unprepared hehe.

What got you into mantises?

I'm not sure, really.

One of my friends had one in their backyard a while back, and I had forgotten it a while until a few weeks ago.

Then I found here.

Just so you know, once you're here, you're in it for life , well maybe not for life, but for a loooong time.

I figured as much. I'm also into Pugs and Siberian Huskies.

But the landlord at this house says no pets T_T

 

[Opivy]

I love Siberian American Huskies! (Gotta be PC) Also Shar peis.

Realized I sound like I'm interrogating you hehe - Was just curious, because this hobby seems so exotic and strange - even to people that keep exotic pets.

I don't even know why I got interested myself, I think it may have been Zorak on the space ghost coast to coast show. Lol-

 

[ZoeRipper]

Well actually my friend's family owns an exotic pet shop, so I get discounts on alot of stuff. Esp feeder insects.

I go there about twice a week to play with the animals to keep them used to being handled.

I've been bitten (baby python), scratched (chinchilla, birds, cat), constricted (Big python), poked (hedgehog), clawed (ferrets, geckos, mice, rats), everything. Oh, and peed on by EVERYTHING.

 

[yen_saw]

Yeah, I was born in Tulsa.OSU?! BOOOO!

Jk, I don't get into football esp. since my mom went to OU.

Anyways, yes, it is, it's like 20 mins away.

Been to Tulsa once, better place than Stillwater for sure! Probably the reason why i left OSU after just one academic year.

ha! the big rivary. There is a game between OSU vs OU coming soon. i think for the first time in many years OSU rank higher than OU. But I wasn't keen on this sport when i was there.
