If you read it on a blog, it is true. Right?

Yesterday, my husband and I went to help tear up move the rest of our friend's stuff. We'll refer to him as Single Guy. While he is a great friend, trust me when I say there is a reason he is in his mid-40s and still single.

As we walked through the small pond that is his front yard (and yay for being able to drive into the driveway), I noticed this worm in the water!



Holy Schnike! Could this be one of those burrowing worms that my friend Michel from Facts are Strictly Optional warned me about? Michel is in Sudan (you know, that country in Africa) and not only is she fighting to avoid Lassa Fever there are worms that will burrow in your skin as you walk on the dirt roads.

Seriously, go read what Michel is up to these days. If she doesn't make you laugh then I'll refund your money because seriously you must need it for the therapy you are skipping out on. She is THAT funny!

As I was trying to figure out what to do with the six seven eight nine remote controls and the friggin equipment that went with them, the guys were ripping out the floor so the sub floor beneath could begin to mold and rot dry. All of a sudden I heard Single Guy say, "I got it. I killed it."

Being one with a bit of a fascination with morbidity, I just had to take a look. It was a snake! A dead as a doornail snake! (By the way, if you Google "dead as a doornail snake" images, the first image is a sign for a paying toilet. Can someone explain that for me?!)



The dead snake reminded me of a story my friend Jane from Gaston Studios told us about recently. Did you know snakes are still poisonous even after they are dead?! Bet ya didn't know that but you should have because poisonous snakes are godless killing machines (thanks for that phrase, Michel. It has come in handy lately. So go check Jane out. She is just full of important facts like that.

This is my Tuesday Tribute to honor two awesome bloggers. There are many, many awesome bloggers out there and I wish I could recognize them all here but relax! There are a lot more Tuesdays remaining in this year.

A Jay and Deb Production.

A quick note to say thanks to all who expressed concern about our flood (apparently God is smoting us as Michel pointed out earlier). While the cable hasn't yet returned and we've had to succumb to playing Trivial Pursuit, the water is now receding and the town is beginning the drying out process.
