Hmmm-my mother said "There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us that it ill becomes any of us to comment on one another". Your reticence is noted and your willpower admired.

No, that is not Jamie, but I will not say any more.

I am new to GGS. Who is Jay? Is this person the same as Jamie at the Whitsett yard? How far out in the boonies are you? For our future reference only in case we have troubles.

Keep us posted on what happens......I have the Corpus number for Sid, if Jay jerks you around, too.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease!

Okay.... this week I have called our service man 3 times, he told me he would be here tomorrow each time. Well here it is Friday I am down to a little under 10 gal of desiel. He told me yesterday he would be here this morning early with desiel, water and weed eat the weeds to keep snakes out. So far no one has showed up, I am really getting tired of being way out here in nowhere land and not being taken care of. I am about ready to call Jay and let him know the type of service we get.

BTW-for you four legged owners-if you put two or three in your vacuum it will help control fleas. OH! I almost forgot-mice hate softener sheets-like you put in dryers.

Rest of post was right on the money with us also. Could not have said it better.

I like the sun rises and the wild life and able to read at times!!!
Sort pennies and find some old dates in rolls. That is easy to do
and any hobby like one might have will work.

Thanks for the post.

According to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), the ingestion of just one mothball can cause serious problems in dogs and cats. Licking of a mothball can cause vomiting, lethargy, seizures and blood disorders. Kidney failure and coma can develop.

Don/Shar, Is that the snake in your previous post or a new one?? I DO NOT EVER WANT TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT!! It sure makes us all more aware of our surroundings out here. When our rig was moving a few days ago, the guys killed a rattler with 10 rattles.
EVERYONE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!

This is the one in my post...one of the guys on the pipeline crew killed him. He said he was having a good BBQ now. He said the big ones arn't so bad it's the smaller ones that will get you. The rattlers between 2' and 4' are the ones that really cause a lot of bites and lots of pain.
