Tomorrow is Friday.

Oh wow.
It was like yesterday when you were only starting!

Congratulations btw.

 

thanks. it was 2 1/2 years. 1 semester was pretty much wasted when i was originally just going for a second bachelor's degree, and then the master's program was a 2 year thing, for full time students anyway.

 

For the last 16 years I've lived off and on at my mom's house in North Jersey and never encountered a skunk. I was living elsewhere last year so it's possible they were around then, but this summer I've been seeing them everywhere. I frequently walk around aimlessly past midnight, as is my wont, and these days it's a rare night when I don't see at least one. I have no idea where they came from. At first I was a little sketched out, thinking that if I startled one or got too close I'd probably get sprayed, but I did some research and it seems that skunks only spray opponents as a last resort. Apparently they only have enough spray for 4-5 uses and it takes them about a week to replenish their supply, so they're reticent to use it except for when they absolutely have to.

 

I read the same thing after I saw the one while running and I've never met anyone that was actually sprayed by one. There's one that lives close to us too, but I never get to see it.

 

i haven't been sprayed myself, but my dog was once. awful.

the worst thing was that he came in and puked skunk spray all over the living room carpet, and it took a few days to get rid of that smell.

 

I'd imagine you wouldn't behave the same way as a dog does around a skunk.

 

i appreciate your confidence in me.

i'm really not trying to say that you're likely to get sprayed, just that it really is an awful thing when it does happen.

 

I was on the front porch smoking a cigarette and a big one walked right in front of me, at first I thought it was a cat. Then it noticed me and we were a little scared of each other.

Skunks can be good pets if you get them when they're young. You have to take out their stink glands or whatever.

 

Now that you guys have discussed skunks and all, it is now Sunday evening and tomorrow is Monday...

 

I read that too and thought it was cool. I'd like a baby skunk pet or so I think, it would probably drive me crazy at night.

John had a similar experience with a baby skunk while smoking in the backyard of the old townhouse. He was inviting the cat inside until he saw the white stripes.

 

And I hate that tomorrow is Monday.

 

Ready or not it is indeed Monday

 

YES!! Haha! I was just going to post this; I was up alone, drinking, at like 2 - 3am and leaning against the back door to smoke and it fucking came in right by my leg and I was like "pss pss pss" thinking it was a cat!! When I saw the stripes I went berzerk, it was in the house!! I scared it right back outside though.

 

The thing I like about monday is a lot of people are back at work and out of my way :smilielol5:

 

I would like that too.

Where's Andrew? Does anyone knows if he still lives? I asked him on Facebook if he was still alive, but I got no response.

 

Too busy spanking.

 

No it's not.

 

My day was awesome til you showed up. :biggrin:

 

this thread lies to me everyday.

 

Just give it a couple of days, it will be truthful again.
