!! Vivificative Monday !!

1. Well, since there are almost no aggressive species of venomous snakes in the U.S., I'd just make myself look as big as possible and give it time to head the other way.  (We keep snakes. LOL)  If it was actually within striking distance and I'd scared it enough to make it bite, all I could do is hope for the best cause a snake strikes at about 8'/sec speed, and I'm not that fast :-).  Fortunately, about a 1/4 of all rattlesnake bites are "dry" where the snake chooses not to inject any venom since we're not prey and it's just trying to make us go away. 2. Telepathy so I could finally lay to rest those anxieties about everyone else mentally critiqueing me when in reality they're probably just as paranoid about their "flaws."   3. I didn't get heavy till I started having kids and injured my foot (about 27), so I can't answer the school thing relating to weight.  Perhaps the worst critic of my weight has always been myself, so I guess getting really dressed up at goal weight and then looking at my mirror and truly acknowledging that I look good and have nothing to be ashamed about. 4. 30's....I had mine in my late 20's and early 30's, and I vote for 30's so that you sow your wild oats beforehand and then be financially more stable first.  (And I'm too tired in my 40's to be breast feeding! LOL) 5. Absolutely not! :-0    Hubby and I are quite "active," and I'd rather have to re-lose everything I have already lost rather than stop enjoying sex.
