She's a beast, a beast I tell you!

So we should have someone check on you to make sure you're not eating crix in the corner! :lol:

:lol: caught me!

Is the mantis alright? are you sure you didn't infect him

Is the fee, one terrorist ghost mantis, Phil ? Now I know where to go for medical advice

Cummon NB! You know that there are no terrorists in the low desert! Lots of IAs of course, who get caught and turn into VRs (voluntary returnees) and get shipped down to Nogales on a bus (and if you haven't heard a bunch of VRs singing "The Wheels of the Bus go Round and Round" in Spanish, you haven't lived!) driven by my son (who is in ICE, by the way), drug smugglers under the watchful care of the Mexican Army (so say the BP) and saguaro rustlers (it is illegal to dig up, transport or fondle a saguaro in AZ), but no terrorists!

And if you have a medical problem, I'll be happy to help you out. Rattler bite? Scorpion sting? Year's ago, I worked at Good Sam and will be happy to give you their Poison Center number!

Too bad they're just another pair of useless walking legs

Wow...I almost missed this :lol: I had the same thing actually, Rebecca. Every night soak it with a warm (try and keep it warm) cloth for at LEAST 20 minutes and you should be fine in a matter of days-week. Otherwise it'll start to swell up even more and begin to start blistering...and no one wants that

 

[hibiscusmile]

Thanks Asa, it looks like a crator on the moon now, with a sunk in hole in the middle, still itchs though.

Yeah, the itching is a bad sign, could mean that something is irritating something in there.

 

[robelgado]

Just use one of your new pincers

Oooo... with all the hatchling swarming, i could use the extra arm too. Send me the mantis that bite you

 

[nasty bugger]

We could take that mantis, send him through basic, and send him to afghanistan, that's the ticket !

My teacher taught the ICE guys from El Paso some tactical entry classes, to get in undetected for investigations. I sat in as an aide in some of the classes.

I went to school to be an emt, hoping to go for a paramedic, but they wouldn't certify me cause I was on probation for marijuana at the time.

My emt instructor, the chairperson over the medical program at the college I went to, said he'd get it taken care of, but I told him if it was that kind of an uphill battle I'd pass.

I knew how to help people and I didn't care if the state cared for me or not.

I was one of only two people that got an A in the emt class, and the only guy in my class that passed the firefighter recruit test the first time, and I figured if DHS didn't respect someone that can do the job well, then I didn't want to be associated with them anyway. Not trying to be conceited, but I didn't need the hassle, I just wanted to help people and, in all honesty, get into the exciting stuff, Wilderness rescue and all that. I lived in the white mountains back then.

Just so I'm not completely high jacking this thread , at least the ghost mantis is a survivor He won't take no guff off a human

OH YEA, A DOUBLE spy, we could they get her to dress up like Barney did in Floyds barber shop for the betting pool!
