We had a summer storm, an hour or two ago. Most of the time the weather here is just hot and very humid.

I am distraught.

I had my CC out and everything. Then I realized that, DANG, there was not the usual, handy dandy 800 number to call. In desperation I searched for the web sit or email address so I could rush my order in.

By this time my palms were sweating and my toe was tapping as I realized that those were missing as well.

Jusy HOW do I order that product of yours. It is EXACTLY what I think I have been craving all these minutes. My impluse gene has kicked in and I can’t quell it hunger. Help me PLEASE!!!

What does one do with a patternless albino leopard gecko? (And how big is it?)

And don’t forget the Green Stamps!

What? No steak knives?

10

Sorry, the moment has passed. Seems my IB (impluse buy) gene is not as strong as I thought it might be. Besides, we used all of our green stamps on other things.

Still waiting …

You mean for the gecko?

some gecko pictures.

You know, this isn’t very nice to Walden. Here he’s gone to all this trouble to kindly inform us of the best that Waldco has to offer, and now all this shameless sidestepping into plugs for GeckCo products. I blush for shame.

15

I’ll hazard a guess.

You put it on the surface of your choice (on the desk, next to the coffee cup and monitor, for instance…“monitor” lizard?), and basically admire it. I think that’s just about it.

Jerry, and all else, I have moved the gecko part of this discussion to the thread on my avatar:

Thanks for your interest!

No kidding, at noontime today, I was sitting to dinner at a restaurant, and was discussing geckoes with my sister. When we lived in southern Mindanao, there was a large case of pop bottles laying in the hallway, and some geckoes got caught in some of them. I rescued at least one of them out of a bottle, and took it for a pet… until it eventually jumped off my shirt.

There are a lot of lizards there, both indoors and out. Some are very tiny. They sometimes accidentally get closed in the door. The oddest place I ever found one was pressed between the pages of our Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia. It was kind of sad that it had to go in that way. A tip for all who live in areas with large populations of lizards: Look and make sure there’re no two-inch reptiles on the pages of your books, before you close them.

My pet monkey (this photo is of him) used to eat geckoes. He also ate the cockroaches and other sundry things he found around the lawn.

Hey-- I’m going to offer sales of whistle futures! I’ll sell ( and accept payment for) whistles which I may or may not actually ever make. Highest bidder, naturally…


(note to the Feds: the above was just a joke. really.)

Oh, you went and did it! You are discussing an on topic subject in this off topic discussion. Wait, you were just joking though and it WAS sort of similar to the original post, so does that make it on topic or off topic.

Owie, my head hurts now! :cry:
