[QUOTE=Guinastasia]  
I remember you-you’re the one with the pet snakes, right?  
[/QUOTE]

Yup, that’s me. Still have Cleo, the nearly 4yro corn snake, and Seymour, the 2 1/2yro ball python, although both reside in my classroom during the school year. The menagerie is actually quite a bit larger than just the snakes…we have 2 cats, a dog, 2 snakes, 2 horses, and a 45-gallon aquarium. Add one rugrat and the collection is apparently complete. 😉

**Zette/BoBettie** , great seeing you!! How the hell are yuh?

Meanwhile…holy cripes about **Persephone**. ☹ Is there a link to her story? She was so fun to have around here. I really liked her.

**Padeye** I don’t remember too clearly, although I apparently met him at DopeToberFest in 2001. (That is just a blur of faces to me now…I remember Johnny, Coldfire, and Heloise, but the rest is a loud blur.) What a sad and terrible way for him to go–I hope several Dopers were able to either be there in person or send on their respects, which it sounds like they did. Yeesh.

“Zette/BoBettie, great seeing you!! How the hell are yuh?”

If I were any better I’d be twins. My husband and I are celebrating our 8th anniversary today. We moved from cold NY to not so cold NC, then to south Florida. In our quest to get closer to the equator, it appears we’ll be relocating soon to Key Largo. All is well, my critters are all good (3 dogs now, I adopted an adorable stray terrier 2 years ago) and my same cat. Same job as I had too, which is going well- I was promoted and transferred to FL, which is how we ended up here.

Good times, good times 🙂

Sweet! I love the Keys. No time, long see! I had no idea you’d changed your name… though I haven’t been around here in forever, so it’s not like I am up to date on ANYTHING. How south in FL are ya?

**Ruffian** , I remember you well from “the olden days” back on AOL.

Dominic is _ten_? Good lord, I’m old.

Howdy.

How come everyone always wants to show off their horses and babies and no one ever talks about their snakes?

Welcome back, **Ruffian**!

No, you don’t know who I am, but I seem to be welcoming people a lot lately, and I didn’t want to leave you out. 🙂

Ta!

Crikey, it’s like I just stepped into a time machine in here. There’s people I haven’t seen, and names being dropped that I haven’t heard, in ages.  
Now if someone would just mention **SPOOFE** and **Fenris** , I’ll be all set.

Happy
