View Full Version : Girlfriend shout out to BL
Varanus99 12-05-2008, 11:54 AM My girlfriend is not a reptile person, bless her heart. But she tolerates my insanity and tries her best to be a part of it.
She knew I was getting some new monitors today. She sent me an email from work and this was a part of it:
"I hope that you were motivated this morning and got everything that you needed to get done for the arrival of the new Lizardtropolis members. I know that you're sooo excited to see them. It's almost like when a girl gets a NEW pair of shoes and she can't wait to take them out and show them off! I know that you will take good care of them and that they will love it here. Oh well....Have fun today, I hope that you upload a nice pic of the new house members for all those on 'BUSH LEAGUE' they will be sad and disappointed if you don't."
See that? See that?? She is DOWN with the BLBC! And making sure I upload pics cuz she knows this site is full of picture lovin' mofos. She even capitalized it. Thats my girl, right there. Im so proud of her! Dieheard!
Now as long as she doesnt kill me when snakes finally make their way over here we be golden.
BTW monitors > shoes :)
norsmis 12-05-2008, 11:57 AM You got a good one V... Dont let that one get away!!!!! Lord knows finding reptile friendly companions is hard to do!
anendeloflorien 12-05-2008, 11:59 AM BTW monitors > shoes :)
Hell yeah!
:rockon: Rock on big V! It's always nice when the other half is down with what we love :D. So how come she hasn't signed up here yet?
Tosha 12-05-2008, 12:04 PM You should run out and buy her something sweet take her to dinner or somthing - as a token of appreciation -- not many better halfs understand and tolerate the reptile thing.
That's classic big V - Classic...:yessir:
luciddream 12-05-2008, 12:20 PM Just don't let her read that monitors > shoes. That might not go over well.
That's great that she supports your hobby even though she doesn't appreciate the wonders of the lizards themselves.
xanaxez 12-05-2008, 12:22 PM Thats great V, i wish mine was as tolerate as yours is. any pointers on how to change her mind? lmao
norsmis 12-05-2008, 12:23 PM You should run out and buy her something sweet take her to dinner or somthing - as a token of appreciation -- not many better halfs understand and tolerate the reptile thing.
I would suggest making her an account on the BLBC as a token of your appreciation!!! :rockon::rockon::rockon:
Varanus99 12-05-2008, 12:40 PM Hell yeah!
:rockon: Rock on big V! It's always nice when the other half is down with what we love :D. So how come she hasn't signed up here yet?
She's not really one to post on forums. Maybe I could get her to sign up and say hi once in a while.
Can you have two accounts off the same computer? I never really got into that multiple personality stuff.
Varanus99 12-05-2008, 12:41 PM You should run out and buy her something sweet take her to dinner or somthing - as a token of appreciation -- not many better halfs understand and tolerate the reptile thing.
A capital idea. I will take her out for a nice dinner this Saturday at a restaurant of her choosing. She might even get flowers.
Why?
Because Tosha said so! :yessir:
Varanus99 12-05-2008, 12:43 PM That's classic big V - Classic...:yessir:
She's coming along. As least now she is referring to it as "Bush-League" and has given up her old moniker for my friends in the hobby "Creepy Reptile People".
She's come a long way.
Sputnik 12-05-2008, 01:18 PM She's not really one to post on forums. Maybe I could get her to sign up and say hi once in a while.

Your multiple personalities will have to log on and off depending on which one is in control that day.... :cool::yessir:
Damnitbonnie 12-05-2008, 01:20 PM I'll tell ya. I am NOT a snake person and only got into reptiles at the age of 54. By hanging with all of you I have been able to hold a couple of snakes. A real milestone for me. I used to have the worst nightmares about them. The kind that don't let you go back to sleep. Even after I shook out the covers and looked under the bed. I'm not yet ready to own one but I don't have the dreams anymore. There is hope for her. She sounds like a keeper.
jknudson 12-05-2008, 02:29 PM Gotta keeper there V! Now to get her to the point where she's helping you pick out animals! :cheers:
constrictorkeeper 12-05-2008, 03:07 PM all this talk of keepers bro... let's see the keepers you're so pumped about.
and it says PUMPED, not PUMPS.
what's with the shoes !
you don't have to tell any of us that monitors are superior to shoes !
c'mon and post those puppies !
and i said PUPPIES, not HUSH PUPPIES.
ck

You're just mad they dont make 6" stilettos in your size.
Pics on the way. Chill your roll, brotha. Im gettin the gang situated. They are too cool for the room, lemme tell ya.
All I get from that post is she thinks you have too many lizards that you spend too much time with taking care of and need some ball pythons and she is going to go buy some NEW shoes and you are going to take her out to dinner and dancing to show them off.......
After 22 years of marriage I translated it for you......... lmao
Mike Greathouse 12-05-2008, 04:17 PM Definitely a keeper.
When I first started with snakes, my wife was deathly afraid of them - to the point of getting physically ill at a picture in a book.
She ultimately embraced my fascination and has completely overcome her fear.
She now enjoys handling them.
There is hope.
Support her and she will support you!
AaronP 12-05-2008, 04:20 PM My girlfriend already liked snakes :) so I'm good. She's espcially fond of the babies.

My nicer half and I are members at some of the same sites. We get around the log on / log off thing by using different browsers. She uses IE and I use Firefox.
BryonsBoas 12-05-2008, 04:28 PM Oh , congrats on the keeper bro. They are NOT a dime a dozen.
If she gets bitchy about the critters , rub her feet.
Varanus99 12-05-2008, 04:47 PM All I get from that post is she thinks you have too many lizards that you spend too much time with taking care of and need some ball pythons and she is going to go buy some NEW shoes and you are going to take her out to dinner and dancing to show them off.......

:lmao:
Thank you, sir. As a man who has never been married I appreciate the translation.
I think you nailed it with the exception of the ball pythons. :)

norsmis 12-05-2008, 04:49 PM :lmao:I think you nailed it with the exception of the ball pythons. :)
I think that was Phil's way of promoting ball pythons......
Good job Phil! :rockon:
Varanus99 12-05-2008, 04:56 PM I think that was Phil's way of promoting ball pythons......
Good job Phil! :rockon:
Oh I caught that. Reading 'ol Phil loud and clear. Just lettin' him know Im on my toes, thats all.
:rockon:
norsmis 12-05-2008, 05:00 PM Oh , congrats on the keeper bro. They are NOT a dime a dozen.
If she gets bitchy about the critters , rub her feet.
I am past this point. The feet rubbing doesnt help now.... I am up to the point of "Fine! Buy your snakes but I am spending the same amount on Lia Sophia jewelry at the next party that you spend on your *&%* snakes!" :cool:
Big V congrats on the new arrivals and the fact that the GF is coming around.
I had never owned a snake before Jeff and I hooked up and I still believe it was a test. I said 'sure' I like that BP and he thought -- 'I can marry her'. LOL
Have fun tomorrow night with dinner and dancing. She'll appreciate it.

I said "dinner". The V does not dance.
Unless the Misfits are playing and dancing involves diving off a stage onto a bunch of people you dont know and random elbows in the face. Thats how I cut a rug.

Southern Wolf 12-05-2008, 05:59 PM You got a good one V... Dont let that one get away!!!!! Lord knows finding reptile friendly companions is hard to do!
You aint joking... I have yet to find one.
Ive finally quit trying... I think they are really Unicorns.. and dont exist.
:lmao:
Thank you, sir. As a man who has never been married I appreciate the translation.

Hey you cant knock me for trying.......:lol:
Varanus99 12-05-2008, 06:13 PM You aint joking... I have yet to find one.

I found a good one. Took me a long time. Had to fight my way past the bad ones. No offense to the ladies plenty of bad dudes out there too.
They exist. They are out there. Just gotta keep trying. I know it sucks but the only real way to lose this game is not to play.

A womens translation is that she wants YOU to take her shoe shopping and then somewhere nice to show off those shoes! Good try on the translation Phil, you where close. :) Difference between girlfriend and wife......

LOL!! I am the opposite of all of you! I am the snake person and had to win my husband over to my way of thinking. He still won't hold them, but does come in the "room" and talk to them.:wamma:
JChandler 12-05-2008, 08:24 PM She's a keeper Joey! :rockon::cheers:

guess I lost.... I decided I could either waist my money on the wrong ones... or get more snakes.... I should be picking up 6 more snakes either the end of this month... for first of next month.
I figured now..... they will have to hit me over the head with a frying pan to get my attention... I am in full Snake Biz mode..... unless I have a cutie that comes up and wants to play with the snakes... That would work for a frying pan. :)
That can be the difference but it can also be called an upgrade...:cheers:
Oh great my wife will read this....:machinegun:
I thought it was a newer model?:cheers:
Varanus99 12-05-2008, 09:00 PM Exactly!!!! Give him a direct order Boss!!!!:yessir:
