A rainbow high up on the mountainside,
Peace be stills my heart,
Trees are green and the sky is blue,
Peace be stills my heart,
Fluffy, white clouds drift slowly by,
Peace be stills my heart,
I could lay here underneath the rainbow til eternity,
Peace be stills my heart.

Man Performs Self Surgery After Copperhead Bite

WILKES COUNTY, N.C. --

• Images: Man Bitten By Copperhead Snake

An 81-year-old Wilkes County man didn't see a doctor after receiving a bite from a copperhead snake, but rather decided to remove the venom on his own.Loyd Church, who lives along Vannoy Road, said he was in his garden last week when the snake snapped at him and bit him on his hand between his thumb and index finger."I was picking cucumbers, and he was hiding up under them vines," the soft-spoken Church said Friday.Church, who avoids going to the doctor whenever possible, said he remembered seeing his father treat snake bites as a boy and decided to perform the same procedure."I gripped my hand and stuck it down in," Church said, describing how he used a knife to cut a slit between the two fang marks before sucking the venom out. He then killed the snake by stomping on it with his boot.Church, whose wife died nine years ago, maintains a large garden on his property. After taking some beans to a neighbor shortly after the bite, the neighbor became concerned and contacted another neighbor who serves as a fire department first-responder.That man examined Church and bandaged the wound.Church said other than feeling a little dizzy, he's seen no other side effects.

You go boy!!! Big thumbs up for this man who took it upon himself to handle his own emergency medical situation instead of calling 911. This man is a true healer.

The "I'm still in the 80's" woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya'll know this type of female. She walks around thinking she is still the cutest girl on the block. She throws her tall and long (Whitesnake) hair around and bats her eyelashes at most men. She thinks by doing this she will get her way with men.

Here is a quote from my friend Barb in regards to this matter:

"''yes'' I know the kind.. and I imagine she un-buttons a few buttons if she gets pulled over for a traffic violation as well? sounds like my neighbors wife... pffft... some people like that make it all the harder for men and others to realize women have more brains than they give us credit."

I agree with Barb. It has taken years for me to show men that I can handle myself in my area of work. Now women like this seem to think they can undo what I have worked so hard for. It is disgusting.

Here is another quote from Barb:

"usually its ''those kind of women'' who have to use other means- because they have no common sense- or they get hired to be the ''token pin-up girl'' for their employer..its like putting a ''box of rocks'' on the payroll? lol dont work too hard- tty tomorrow- hugs xxx- now, the way ''I'' see it? WE are the WHOLE package! beauty, brawn, brains, and we are MOTHERS! - which thus separates us into a very unique, regal, and ''kick ass'' category! =D"

I agree with you Barb. Thank you for helping me put this in the correct perspective. Now for all of you women who are stuck in the 80's,  
GET A LIFE!!!! I mean get a real life in the year 2010. Lower that hair and grow up. Act your age. It's ok to have fun but give me a break. Quit trying to be something you are not anymore- A teenager.
