If an animal is endangering my life, of course, I will probably have to kill it, snakes included, of which we have many out here. If I was on an island, just me and a chicken, of course, I would eat it. My take is that, as long as there is other healthier food, I will continue to eat that, veggies, grains, fruits, and leave the animals to live their lives.

It's just killing him..
to see you so good off and doing wonderful without him. Men cant handle the thought that we don't always need them!
Hope all stays well!
Killing is killing!!! Does not mean they cannot
In the Old Testament the law was an eye for an eye.
The Bible is the ultimate authority and it is ours to obey and take at its Word...not to question or rationalize it to make it fit the circumstance we want out of! Just because others kill or have killed doesn't WE don't have to obey! Bottom line...We have to stand before God for one day, and all of the above men had to also!
How about snakes?
I found a little small snake in the house in December, it got away before I could get it and we haven't seen it since.
Help! Snakes!
 Snake in the heat/air vent. His head was right at the vent exploring to see if he could fit through but he's too big I think. Anybody know what to do? He's disappeared now so worried where he went to and if there are more. Thanks.
Keep snakes away!!
Sprinkle some moth crystals around in your flower beds around your house and the snakes won't come around. This worked for me!
Good Luck!
You must not have snakes around...
I have lots and it's extremely unnerving to see, step on, or work in the garden and have one slither away from where you just had your hand. We do have poisonous ones too. If there were anyway to get rid of them, I certainly would. Unfortunately, some snakes do "hold their ground" and will bite if you unknowingly bother them. I had one fall off the roof onto my glider right where I had been sitting a few minutes before. He was trying to get to the bird house hanging near by. Needless to say, I moved the birdhouse away from the house.
I don't like snakes either.
May seem odd, since I have 5 PET geckos... but they have legs. Big difference. There's just something WRONG about anything that can move without benefit of limbs....
Comedian Bill Engvall talked about being afraid of snakes. "Snakes are of the devil. It's in the Bible. Look it up."
One time back in my teens, before we knew what we know now about skin cancer and sun damage, I was sunbathing in the back hard, opened my eyes, and found myself nose to nose with a 3-foot black and white king snake. Perfectly harmless--but I think I jumped about a mile straight up in the air!

snakes
We had a couple of snakes that got into our church (found and sealed up the holes). However, I found out they have large sticky traps like they use for mice that are for snakes. Maybe that would do the job. Good luck. I don't like to kill snakes, but if they are invading my space, then so be it.
What do you think abortion is, if it is not killing?
does that mean it is okay? Even the law of our land will not allow you to kill a man...but a baby...or fetus as they so lovingly refer to it as...is perfectly acceptable to kill! Hmmmm...something is wrong here!
you can't blame them for killing themselves to get here,
and adding further insult to injury, we put everything in their language. however, thanks to our system of welfare, too many US citizens refuse to work the hard labor jobs, so we "need" the illegals.
killing grass?
Good question, considering I have a new home and just now have grass starting to show through all this dirt around our house. The last thing I want to do is invest $900 in grass seed and fertilizer only to kill it. Please advise.
Yes, and Unions are killing GM and the like.

Hating Snakes
I would be totally freaking out too! Find it and kill it. I'd go to a hotel until you find the thing. Like you, I would be way scared. I hope that you find it, but in the meantime, you certainly have my sympathies.
I'm in NC too! We have good & bad snakes, unfortunately.
Don't take any chances. Call somebody. They won't kill it because the State law won't permit them to here, but will attempt to remove it for you (for $, of course!). Good luck!
Snakes .. continued
Well, finally ventured out to finish putting the flowers in and (btw I am in Florida) so every nasty thing is here along with me in the yard probably ;-) but have not seen it again. I am sure it is in the bushes for protection and I am just concerned that the mommy is nearby and wants to bite my face off for screaming so loud when I saw it!! From what I gather, it could be just a black variety of nonpoisonous whatever they are or it could have been a rattler because there used to be orange groves everywhere .. and it could be water because I live across the street from the bayou. The dog pooped today on my brand new den carpet .. you should have been here for that war dance and yoddling display!! Mama mia!
you are killing yourself to support HIS lifestyle? sm
How many jobs does your husband work? You're crazy to keep up the hectic schedule you are on right now. Is money really worth you working yourself to death? If that's the only reason you are looking for more work, tell your husband to get another job. Sounds to me like you do more than your share!
My left elbow is killing me! SM
Stretching out my arm and picking up a reference book is agony. An easy solution is to move all my books to my right side, but is this caused by MTing or sleeping on it (I almost always sleep on my left side with that arm folded under my pillow) or combo of the two? I've typed about "elbow cradles"...do they help? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

about the same as killing all birds over the bird flu sometimes...
you have to do what you have to do. If there is mad cow disease, everyone kills cows. If there is bird flu, we kill birds. If there is rabies, we kill dogs. Any epidemic in the making has to be stopped before the epidemic starts. Oh, and the West Nile virus, we kill mosquitos. The only thing with the deer ticks, we aren't forced to kill deer, people do that for sport. lol
it seems like you're killing THIS board.

My back is killing me today. What do
you do for back pains? Any suggestions....
nah, just snakes.....and spiders.....and roaches

I absolutely hate snakes.
And spiders. Anyway, 5 years ago we had just moved to a different house. I was sitting on the ground on the south side planting some bulbs. Just sitting indian style, enjoying the weather. Well, I got my 2nd bulb in and picked up my pack of bulbs and went to move over to plan another and there was a snake coiled up on my sandal. I flipped. All my bulbs went flying in the air, along with my little shovel. I screamed. The thing was probably not even 2 feet long, I didn't care. Anyway, my neighbor and her friend came and chased it away for me. At the time, they were 8 and 9. lol
Question about snakes .. yuck!
I know that this is the time of year the babies are born, but I want to know how to get them out of the flowering bushes in my back yard. This merry widow stuff is for the birds!! If someone has a remedy that does not have me putting my hands where he/she is .. I am all for it. Yesterday as I looked out the window he/she was looking back in at me .. gag!!
there is an advantage having black snakes
in the basement, as they eat rodents. So keep this in mind.
What do you prefer? Rodents or black snakes?
I just hate both, but if I had to choose I would choose the black snake.
all this talk about snakes and guess what..
the dogs had cornered when we got home from town today.. geez. a stinking snake..went down to see the dogs in the pin were going crazy, yard dog was even down there barking.. he always greets us when we get back home, so I knew something was there, went & looked, it wasn't a black snake, kinda grayish.. so went back to the house, then went back again & the stinking thing had its neck spread like a cobra, and then it hissed at me, creeped me out and sent chills all the way down, so back to the house I went, dh got home, went out to tell him, he went & got the shovel, that things head was almost diamond shaped it was evil looking, dh got it on the shovel & I think he was going to pitch it over in the woods, but then it held that evil lookin head up & hissed at him, it fell off the shovel & he killed it.. heard it was a spread adder, here people call them spreadenadder.. lol.. needles to say, Thank God it's gone..
veggie too--can't stand killing of any sort--sm
too much of it is *accepted* these days, and it is just the thing that has put this world into the position it is in today. It just seems that if someone does not like something...kill it. I don't care if it is a third world country or not, they know right from wrong in their hearts, no matter what *religion* or *tradition* they have been taught. Lord, where are you now??? JMO
every living breathing being has a soul and killing --
is wrong no matter if human or animal. by your conception of things, then if you have the flu and are causing an epidemic, we should do away with you too, to protect the rest of us??
TouchScreens? Using this mouse is killing my hand
Does anyone here use a touchscreen monitor? do those actually exist and work? I've never seen one. It takes forever to use the mouse, plus it hurts my hand a bunch
Snakes do a lot of good in nature, most are harmless.

My right elbow is killing me. Feels like the muscle has torn.

I knew about the Killing Oprah On Her Couch thingy...
but never saw him get squirted! He simply was not happy with that man, wuz he? Ah, fame and fortune - it must B a drag!
Whine alert! 8 cents/line is killing me! :(
I have 17 years experience. I'm an IC, was getting paid 10 and 11 cents a line for the last decade or so. After that work basically dried up, I started looking for more work. No work to be had at at 10 cents a line anymore, rarely find anything even at 9 cents.
Decided to take an 8 cents/line job. Hey, I was gettin' hungry. I swear....I type, type, type, type, seems like all day and all night and still not making the money I need to pay my bills and eat!
I know, I know, people justify 8 cents a line by saying hey if you can do 200 lph, that's $16 an hour. Yeah, that's great for those who aren't used to making up to $30+ an hour for the past 8 to 10 years! Man, I'm soooooooo tired of typing, so burned out, just very unhappy. 
I can see now how some people are happy with MT and some people aren't, just depends on what you've been used to compared to what you get now. Sad.
I really don't have any other skills to do anything else, and I'm dying here as far as finances, killing my hands and other body parts trying to make money at this 8 cents a line...maybe could've done it 15 years ago when I was younger but just not able to type like a demon day and night anymore.
Let it be known that this is the end of my vent. I have no idea what I'm going to do
All diamond-shaped heads are poisonous snakes! I do know that! nm

Got Snakes - GET LIME!!!!! Sprinkle generously! Burns their bellys.

Corporate greed is a rampant disease that will end up killing the American middle class....sm
These people never have enough, there are no scruples, In God We Trust is just something printed on currency instead of being a moral principle carried down by our Founders...the French started a revolution over this. I hate all war and violence, but how do we stop global economy as being the tool which the corporate entities use to rape the middle class workers? Sorry for the rant, bad week....year!
