Today we killed at least 6 snakes, and a few from before. I think there are more. They have nested in my wall (see pictures below) and I'm afraid they will continue to lay eggs and reproducing. If anyone could help me...
1. Find the number for Animal Control in Chicago, IL
2. Any tips for getting rid of these snakes
3. Identify these snakes - are they poisonous? (it may be hard to tell from the picture)
4. How to prevent snakes from coming back
5. Anything else I should know about

Please, and thank you (I have very serious ophidiophobia, fear of snakes)

P.S. they are very big, I would say the biggest we killed was at least a few feet long

In the USA, you hear a lot about people saying that there should be absolutely NO religion in school, that people shouldn't be able to do much of anything to do with the bible in school, etc etc.. Everyone always brings it back around to the idea of separation of church and state.

I'm curious how many times this gets misinterpreted ... In the First Amendment, it says:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

It does NOT say that NO religion can be practiced, etc. In fact, if you read, it says that there shall be NO law prohibiting the free exercise thereof!! How is it then that it seems illegal to allow any kind of religion in school?

I am not referring to forced, required classes, but to things like not even allowing prayer events, etc.

From my understanding, which may be a little off I will admit, the 'founding fathers' wanted to keep the gov't from establishing an "only religion" etc.

Your thoughts?

I only got him today, but he has remained huddled next to a plastic plant which I placed in his tank. How much time will he need to adjust to his new "crabitat"? Should I be concerned?

He also just came from the pet store and two of his friends were dead - the store assistants didn't even know until they took them out! Does this show lack of attention? Will he need a bath or anything? (He has water/food)

He is a strawberry land hermit crab.

XOXO,
Laurie

I live in Virginia, and I will be a senior this fall at my school. Anyway it is around that time to start considering what you are going to do for the rest of your life. I want to be a pharmacist. However, I am not exactly sure how to go about doing that. I have already planned to go to my community college. They have a Pharmacy program, but one is a certificate, and the other is a Associates. I guess I would go for the Associates. But after that I do not know what to do. Could someone please shed some light on my confusion, and help me out?

Now, I know christianity is fake. Pretty glad it's fake to because christianity sounds like the typical macho guy created it. He says man shall not lie with man. He makes no reference to lesbians and lying with women. Sounds like something a str8 macho guy would say. How do u like that? The christian god is ok with a little lesbian action just like the str8 male. He's also like the typical macho guys in the way that his behavior shows men are superior to women. Think about it. He made men first. And he said he made women for men as a gift to men. Not only that, but he made women from men. Not to mention, if we're acting as if this is all true, he made men bigger and stronger than men. Sounds a lot like typical macho guy made this religion up. Then of course they added in the couple of morals and preaching to do good just to make it seem like the religion is so good and probably true. Way to go christians. Think like the typical macho str8 male.

I really need to buy some suits for the summer and everything but it is really hard to find good bathing suits for people with a large chest. I would like something that is supportive and not too much like a grandma. One pieces especially make my boobs sag a lot, but I need them because I SWIM, not just tan. If anyone knows any good places to shop, please share.

I've owned my Focus for 2 months now, and I've put about 1000 miles on it. By now, I would think that the engine has been broken in so I should be seeing the advertised mileage 27 (city) to 37 (highway) depending on how you drive and other factors. I'm easy on this car, but I'm only getting about 22-25 mpg. Any suggestions on why this is happening?

I've only seen the commercial a few times, and, to be honest, i havn't paid enough attention to see what the commercial is about.

At the beginning of the commercial, there is very dramatic, choral/operatic music playing in the background, then the music changes to a more light-hearted song.

What is lawlessness/sin is it the power of the other spirit working threw humanity. If the flesh counts for nothing and spirit and soul are everything what undrstanding do you have of life? If all you are is flesh why do you live, does dirt live, does a rock live? When you peel a orange there is fruit in it to eat it is good. When your flesh turns to soil whats left? People on this forum call there selves athiest yet they prowel and shoot arrows with craft. I care to say your not athiest at all but servents of Satan and apart of his Secret underwold Government/Society.
