Yup, it's a possum.

Possums are awesome! They eat dead stuff, bugs, mice, and rotting stuff. They're non-agressive. They have a low body temperatures so they don't carry disease. They can't see well, and most people think they're ugly so they get a bad rep. They're called living fossils because they've been around basically unchanged for 70 million years. They're actually very interesting animals.

Buddy #1 is works in wildlife rehabilitation. She fixes possums, raccoons, squirrels, deer, birds, etc. when they need help. :thumbsup:

I hope you're not telling all your buddies to read about their adventures online here... You'll end up getting into trouble for sure! :o

I think the Puffin just drives 'em wild. :R

I don't know if they read here or not - most know about the site. I never lie to them, and they know I date other people. It's all gravy Mike. :thumbsup:

yeah well you're clearly not married ;-)

nikwax - Obviously! I enjoy camping with my buddies - I've got too much life left in me for marriage. ;)

Greg M - Sex panther. Highly recommended! :thumbsup:

Actually, buddy #5 just called and we're going to West Texas (Fort Davis, TX) in two weeks. This is a fluke - when it rains it pours. Anyone in that part of the world is welcome to check out the Puffin.

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

I like to consider myself broad-minded and I can see that you could so easily get in one of those awkward calling-her-by-the-wrong-name situations but, even so, I do feel giving girls numbers may be going a bit too far. I'm surprised they stand for it, to be honest.......

I suppose you're too young to remember Patrick McGoohan as 'The Prisoner' (that did get to America, right?) - "I am not a number, I am a free man" would have to be rewritten as "I am not a number, I am a named woman".

Personally I wouldn't remember their number either and I'm sure that, in order to avoid calling #2 #3, asking them write their number on their forehead in face paint is just bound to cause offence. Probably rub off on the pillowcases too........

we did indeed have The Prisoner here in the mid-60's, and I for one was a huge fun. Way ahead of its time. :thumbsup:

I wouldn't dare do that in front of them. I'm not that dumb. I call them "sweetie" as it cuts down on the confusion. :?

I was born in the 70's, so I don't recall it.

It's actually quite simple. #1, #2, & #5 live in the Austin area. #3 in Houston, #4 in Dallas. No wait, I think #4 moved to San Antonio. No, that's was #3. :thinking: Dammit!

I don't care what they call me, as long as they want to go camping :R

Well I did it- read this whole thread- all 50 pages!

Outstanding- thanks Steve for the inspiration & for explaining so much so well.

"Mundane details" are a necessary part of life, well worth going into.

I note the patience with which you answered questions that were on previous pages....I would have been saying 'Read the damn thread!'

Rock on. :applause:
I can do this.....

:lol: It's no biggie. Most people that asked the questions were asking for the first time - besides the thread is quite long and some info can be difficult to dig out.

Oh, I'm rockin' on! :thumbsup:

:shhh: Not the ladies man at all. I'm just a single dude with a lot of friends that are women who enjoy camping. :D
