I must confess, I have an addiction. Its true. I cant help myself. If I see it, it usually being reptilian, I have to pick it up. LOL! We live in the country, so there is plenty to choose from, and after 5 years I still have to...

Patrika952 You bring up a good point about being careful what you pick up. I have a lot of experience with reptiles, so I am comfortable doing so. My husband keeps asking why do I pick things up that want to bite me? Oh, theyll settle down in a second, is what I say...

Patrika952 I used to be a big city girl. My husband and I moved out to the country about 5 years ago, and for the first few months I would spend hours outside at night in amazement at how many stars there were in the sky. All these years I thought there were just 5, LOL,...

All of us know, for centuries, we as human have been experimenting with animals.. For understanding more on animals themselves, and to test substances to see whether they are harmful to the animals. (All of us know the term,...

Patrika952 First of all, I am an animal lover. I think there is nothing more satisfying than getting close to animals in their natural habitat...disclaimer, dont pet the bears. Seriously though, animals are wonderful in nature, but without animal testing, what would we...

Patrika952 We are really lucky now, as we have only a few bills. Our house, my husbands truck, phone, internet, propane, utilities are all covered by my husbands job. So we just have our car, my phone, and satalite bills. Trying to eat healthy takes up quite a chunk,...

Patrika952 You know, that actually looks similar to something I saw in a tattoo shop just the other day. Maybe someday you will have a career in skin art! I wish I had some artistic talent, apparently my mother and brother used it all up and left none for the rest of the...

Patrika952 She sounds like a really cool cat. I cant believe she was just left behind. I like that, she has to keep an eye on the two of you at all times, LOL, she has to keep you guys in line, huh? I think that having a kitten from such a young age really enhances the...

Should abortion be permitted at all? I brought up this topic as i was doing a search when a friend of mine have the thought of aborting her child in her womb. Of course, i went into a debating issue with her.. What surprises me...

Patrika952 I firmly believe that abortion should remain legal and the woman's decision, with the exception of underage girls. In no way shape or form should an abortion be performed on a 16 year old girl without the parents consent. I think as a woman, you and only you...

Patrika952 I dont think all the toys in the world would make a difference, because toys have to be manipulated and I actually play back! My own mistake, but who can resist? This is Twigs, the runt, but even though she is small, she has huge personality!

Patrika952 It seems to me that it is always the runt of the little that has the biggest personality. He has to make up for what he lacks in size, I think.
