Again!

[Adui]

You know, on one hand I kind of agree with the meaning of the posters who are hollering at you, even if I dont agree with the tone.

On the other hand, being a father of three kids I am well aware that even ifyou kid proof you home a mischevious little devil can find a way, and being you are a teenager, you parents may object to a lock on your bedroom door. I hope not.

Now, do whatever it takes to find the snake. Kid proof the room and Vivarium so that hopefully your cousin cant do this again. Take all the ribbing you've gotten here when trying honestly to get help with a grain of salt. And finally, M<ove on and hopefully you will A: learn from this and not let it happen again, and B: not let the jackasses here make you afraid to ask the next "dumb question" you need an answer too.

We all make mistakes, and we all make stupid mistakes. Especially when we are young. Remember that guys and instead of flaming the poor kid off the forum givwe him what you can to help him learn and encourage him to ask for help.

Bottom line when it comes to the wellbeing of our pets the ONLY stupid question is the one you dont ask. It really does not matter how he got himself in this situation he is asking advice to get out of it and prevent it from happening again.

Like I tell my kids, if you dont have anything nice to say keep your trap shut..

I really should learn to spell check, i cant type for beans! :shrugs:

 

[jvbernard]

mmmm.

so i might be a jackoff for blaming you and your lack of intelligence, but you should of learnt your lesson the first time round, unlike most of us here we did forsee the problems that having snakes around children might cause, but we went about preventing situations like yours from occuring. i have a lock on my viv and it is on brackets about 4ft from the floor, so my son cant get to mine. but if he ever did manage to release my snake i wouldn't go around blaming my son ( or cuzins ) you should of make it more secure. be a man and stop blaming others.

Who raised their voice? Who had an unpleasant tone other than the one who resorted to calling myself and others "jackoffs" and you who called us jackasses.

On the other hand, being a father of three kids I am well aware that even ifyou kid proof you home a mischevious little devil can find a way...

...Kid proof the room and Vivarium so that hopefully your cousin cant do this again.

I shouldn't even need to point out how nicely you contradict yourself...oops I just did. If it can't be done, why bother?

We all make mistakes, and we all make stupid mistakes. Especially when we are young. Remember that guys and instead of flaming the poor kid off the forum givwe him what you can to help him learn and encourage him to ask for help.

Again, who flamed? I've made stupid mistakes and I learn from them. I never once said one thing that I feel comes off as offensive and I in no way intended (or wanted) to run anyone away from this forum. Maybe when I'm saying something stern or describing the reality of the situation I should use plenty of smilies to make it easier on the person who needs a wake-up call.

It really does not matter how he got himself in this situation

It doesn't? Seems pretty darned important to me. Afterall, how can one prevent something from happening, if they don't know how it happened? How can anyone give advice on how to keep this from happening again, if they don't know how it happened in the first place?

he is asking advice to get out of it and prevent it from happening again.

Really? If that's the case I completely misunderstood everything in his original post. I must really suck at reading between the lines or reading minds. Someone should really interpret these things so they are more clear.

my corn escaped 4 days ago actually 5 days since its past 1 AM where do you think he has gone?i look ed EVERYWHERE and they say things happen when you least expect it but now since i heard that im ALWAYS expecting it so its not working.should i worry?or is it too early to worry?hes 14 inches long and three fourths of an inch thick.i tried duct tape traps at the doorways, any advice?

That should clear things up. Advice? That was exactly what I dispensed. If someone doesn't like my advice, they don't have to behave like a child and call me names.

Like I tell my kids, if you dont have anything nice to say keep your trap shut..

If this isn't the most ironic, trite and hypocritical cliche, then I'm not a jackoff/jackass.


:crazy02: :dancer:

 

[Adui]

:flames: Flamed and somewhat deserved..

see this post for my apology:Apology of sorts

Cheers all! :cheers:

 

[WRATHCHILD798]

ok i yelled at ppl
SUE ME
(not really)lol yah i just found him
"they don't have to behave like a child and call me names."
then behave like an adult and get over it.

 

[WRATHCHILD798]

for the ppl that actually helped thnx
and those who didnt thnx, yall gave me something to do.

 

[exodus5139]

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I won't appologize for anything I've said here. Life sucks and reality isn't all sugar plums and gum drops. If you're lucky, once a while in life you'll run into somebody who speaks their mind and doesn't sugar coat things just to make you feel better about your situation.

Who asked you to go back in time to change what happened? Did it ever occur to you that maybe what I was saying was intended to start the gears turning in your head to get you to take some preemptive measures. That way, when I open this site tomorrow, I don't have to read the third "My sankes gawn..." thread that you've started.

I goota agree with zwyatt. He isnt being a dick, he's just being blunt and straight forward. If he says stuff like "its fine you lost it let me halp make it better," it doesnt convey how serious the situation is.

 

[zwyatt]

for the ppl that actually helped thnx

You're welcome.

 

[jenkva]

thanks sfaoldguy your not a jackoff like some of the other ppl here
ya know im sry youre right ppl i should have gone back in time and stopped my cuzin
wt!?yah yall ppl have never had a little kid lose something of yours?hes 4 im not going to smack him he'll cry his head off im getting a lock like one of you said.and i laughed when you said "and get to drinkin"HENNESSY
lol jp

Hmmm, did that pass the "spell check" option you have below the white rectangle where you write your reply to posts and not far from the "Submit Post"???
:shrugs:

Anyway, good on you for removing the duck tape but, please please, if "somehow" should he escapes yet again, do not put duck tape.....
At the top right of each pages of this Forum, you have a "Search" option which is very handy.

Also, what would do you a favour is if you used the "spell check" option, that would get you a lot more reply

Good luck on your hunt!

I can understand how teens just don't think of 4 yr old cousins... now he does, so he learned... I left a cage on a jar lately though I'm an adult... woudl you flame me? Thinks just happen soemtimes and some people are better in reminding to closely lock everything then others... but they might be better at other things like cleaning and temp regulation. Nobody is perfect...

 

[jenkva]

Like I tell my kids, if you dont have anything nice to say keep your trap shut..

Hmm, is that how people are supposed to tell their kid to be quiet?

I am a firm believer in giving good example and "keep your trap shut" would not have gone down well in my family.

Before you say anything, I am NOT flaming you :sidestep:

 

[zwyatt]

I'm an adult... woudl you flame me?

Again, this term "flame". When did anyone get "flamed"? If what I did in this thread was "flaming" then it's a good thing I didn't use any exclamation points or CAPS LOCK to get my point across, or else I might have had charges pressed against me for verbal assault and battery.


Adult...teenager...it doesn't matter who you are. I'm an equal opportunity "flamer" as everyone seems to be labeling it. I don't discriminate based on age, gender, race, or religious affiliation. Besides, when I opened this thread, I had no pre-existing knowledge of who this user was or what his gender or age was, so that isn't even an issue here. However, after reading his post, I did correctly infer on both accounts regarding his gender and age.





Now this is directed at nobody in particular, but I just don't understand what has happened here. I make one rather tame post about being a responsible pet owner so that mistakes like this don't happen in the future and everyone gets bent out of shape. :shrugs: Is the world really this sensitive that we can't handle something like this?

Just because I say a few things to try to alert someone so that they can correct any problems that may be occurring in order for them to provide better care to their pet, I have people treating me like I'm some sort of bully.
Pointing out that nobody is perfect is quite a radical response to something as harmless as my original reply in this thread. How my reply ever implied that I felt the contrary was true is far beyond me.

If you want, I can press charges but I think your comments were justified

I know that you said everybody but I won't feel included.
I think sometimes some people need to have the "dots" put on the "ies" and I thought you did it fine.

Zach, if it wasn't you, it would have been someone else that would have said it and if you have already said it, some people might not see the need to repeat what you just said or did not quote you saying that they agreed with you.
Please don't take it so harsh and let's just wipe the slate clean for all, m'kay?

Now all, shake hand and group hug!

 

[zwyatt]

Did I say you flamed someone?

You stated:

woudl you flame me?

It was either:
A) You were obviously implying that what I did was "flaming".

Or

B) You unintentionally made it sound as though you were suggesting that I "flamed" him.



Or who else was it aimed at?

I was suggesting the guy got flamed and compared it to me leaving a cage ajar... you got defensive saying you did not flame. Maybe i just did not mean you... apparently you thought I included you.

 

[zwyatt]

I'd rather keep my criminal record clean for the time being, if it's all the same to you.

I know that you said everybody but I won't feel included.

I said "everyone" as an inclusive term for all those who obviously took issue with what I had said and not for everyone in the forum's general public.

Zach, if it wasn't you, it would have been someone else that would have said it and if you have already said it, some people might not see the need to repeat what you just said or did not quote you saying that they agreed with you.

My issue is that anyone would even react so severly in the first place. I just can't figure that what I said was bad enough to illicit such responses.

Please don't take it so harsh and let's just wipe the slate clean for all, m'kay?

Consider it clean. I don't have any ill will towards a single person, not even the ones from this thread:grin01:
All jokes aside, I'm really not upset with anyone. I know it may sound that way from time to time, but I'm simply backing myself up and defending what I say. It may seem heated at times, but that's only because when I feel like someone's questioning me I won't back down because I feel strongly about what I say or I wouldn't take the time to post it (serious run-on sentence :eek1: ).

 

[zwyatt]

apparently you thought I included you.

Yes, it did appear that way to me. But thank you for clearing it up.

arghhh, I am just a bleeming foreigner so please excuse the wrong word...LOL
