Primary Needs of the EarthMother
If you take me shopping - I'll be your friend. If we shop for hours, you're my best friend. If we go on a day trip and I get bargains, you can have my 1stborn.
Passions - My Family, Snakes, making a home, caring for the hungry and needy {they live at my house}, lol Shopping, Learning with an open mind (B. hard), Reading & my Garden (because that includes reptiles as well), anything my heart desires. I am mad as a cut snake on some days and others I'm Mother Theresa. If you catch me on a 'cut snake day' just try to put it aside until I can make it up to you.
I have been known to scare children, but that is for the people who meet me in person to figure out why. oooh a mystery! I scare grown men too. lol, Moth calls me his Benzadrine Puff Adder - I must be a 'non ven' because we're together, alive, lol, after 30 years. |

I am amused - erm - it's a joke I like.
Did you know that the French have the same word for monkey as they do for ape? *shock* Yes, it's okay, I felt that way too. Because I'm a languagist - - now, don't laugh with me, laugh at me - - I'm joking. I know it's not languagist, it's Linguologist :) The French named the monkey 'le singe' (pronounced 'sanzjjjjj'.) and then when time came to name the ape they said "O mon Dieu! [in a french accent] I yam doo tyered to make anotheur word ...ape is singe alllso" One of my favourite movies is The Planet of the Apes, and Marky Mark (because I like the classic) is walking along saying 'Oh no, our planet has been invaded by monkeys!"
The monkey behind him said "Rrrargh! we are apes not monkeys, apes are not monkeys there is a big difference between monkeys and apes. Monkeys are not Apes rargh!!" That's not the funny bit.
I watched the french version - artfully dubbed. "Le Planette de Singe" :- Marky Mark is walking along (because le french like the classic too)
'Oh no, our planet has been invaded by singe!"
The ape behind him said "Rarrrggh! We are singe not singe,
singe are not singe! there is a big difference between singe and singe!! rarrgh ...singe are not singe rarrggh!! - - - rar" Hold on --- it's Linguist. vzvwvzv Snake moves silently through yellowing reeds, deftly searching out a sun soaked bit in the tree. For sent precious, warming beams, brilliant light hits her fine scales. suggested facets of opal deems the light shifting, diminishing pale. She moves her head just slightly, with eyes that dimly see. An intrusion detected, qui vive.
Alerted by her agile flicking tongue. She casts like an elegant vine on a wood eave shelf that nature built, to drape her slender prehensile dorsum Like a yarn of grey satin silk. Peacefully employing the sunrays while poised to digest the early caught prey of small possum or fresh laid rodents' from nests. At her movement, at their whim, tiny blue fairy wrens scatter, Sending a flurry of silent wings she recoils warily now, retreats from the unheard chatter to a low and far pitched bough. In my soft trod escape I turn to see; The snake lies lazy, compliant although now, higher in the tree.

EarthMother - I've loved reptiles from when I was a child, I have always searched out and fed the BTS a treat of banana weekly, and any other resident reptile on our properties. Unfortunately, the 1st reptile my youngest daughter wanted was a small Brown snake we'd caught in a drum on the farm. We convinced her - after a while it was too bitey! The love was rekindled when my no. 1 son at around 3 years old would bring me live skinks and frogs and put them on my pillow to wake up to face to face. It was clear he wasn't going to grow out of it so we sent away for his 1st Permit for his 7th birthday. He is 15 soon. Then the fun began with Beardies. Me: Physically I am short, fair skin, blonde/ red hair/grey, blue eyes, over middle age. I married as a child bride to the love of my life (henceforth known as MOTH = Man of the House) who is the best man I've ever met. I'm in complete awe of him and my children, deeply in love with my Grankidlings. I'm appreciative of life and friends and grateful for the clear and present freedom we enjoy. I am a humanitarian before I think of race. I want the fighting to be over. I know it won't be over until someone does something silly. I'm pretty war worn - I'm an old duck, I think I'm ancient some days ---- My head isn't. My daughter laughingly (I think) calls me the 'old bat'. My friends tell me I'm a cute little lady, and honestly from a fair distance from behind they're right. I smile too much. And I laugh at obscure things that other people don't find funny. I get obsessive about my interests and bore the hell out of my friends about my individual children (3) and granchildren (5!). Or what fun snake I've seen recently, their unique ways, venom delivery, statistics and facts I've read, I tell them snake stories (that I find quite amusing or exciting.) and the cutesy ways of our Lizards, Monitors, Skinks, Frogs, Turtles and Snakes. One of my best friends cries spontaneously when she sees a snake, and waits outside until I replace them into their cages and she knows it's safe to enter. I'm labelled strange and widely misunderstood (by my own spawn usually) because of my lopsided humour. In my maturity (chronologic) I've come to the very strong conclusion that I'm not here to make anybody happy unless I'm wed to them or they directly have my genes. I'm rarely rude, but my humour is sometimes lost in the airspace between my mouth and others eyes and ears. Just remember, I'm usually, forgetful and just plain wrong but ready to be corrected (most of the time) and I'm always laughing. Moth understands everything I say even before I say it. We finish each others sentences, albeit incorrectly sometimes. lol.
