Chatty,
I was going to fight JJ for you as my own personal angel.
But the snake thing is making your angel cloud a little shakey. In fact, it's causing a full blown cloud quake.
I'm thinking I could be a little bit more generous with JJ. I say I just pass the snake right on to her.
Now if I'm ever in a nursing home and your friend comes in with the snake, I'm outta' there. If my heart doesn't give out and move me right on up to heaven, I'll get in a jet propelled wheelchair and ESCAPE.
Dogs are fine as long as they don't growl or bite, but snakes give me the heeby jeebies. YUK
