he always fusses at me for walking around barefoot,

maybe that part is due to scorpions? (it's a good idea to not walk around barefoot in your house in south texas for that very reason)

Ha.

Actually, it's more dangerous to put on your shoe, at least without shaking it first -- they like to hide in dark places.

No scorpions in my house. Except of course my husband and I (we are both Scorpios)

It may differ from culture to culture, or even family to family, but Mohammed's deal with not walking barefooted is more a concern for what you're walking through and getting on your footies.

my dad lives in san antonio, remember? he's learned to wear shoes even inside for that reason

if anyone has them around, it's a good reason to have a cat

Whatttt ??? So they can sting the cat ????

I remember you mentioning that your father lives in SA. However, I have to say that I've never EVER seen a scorpion inside my house, or any place that I've lived here (although I did see one in a vacation condo I rented down at Padre Island... moseying across the living room rug.) Found some other "interesting" critters, but no scorpions. (*knock on wood*) I sometimes encounter them outside in the garden, but only very rarely -- usually when I'm moving rocks.

Remind me to have my SIL visit us here in Utah instead of us going there!

most cats i've seen have quite a bit of fur on their paws, odds are they won't be hurt.

i can find scorpions all day long outside at my dads. and same when i lived in corpus.

edit to add - but the ones you find under rocks are not under those rocks at night..........

My husband HATES it when there is air on in the car... hot air, cold air... he hates it. If the windows fog up, he rolls down the windows. Whenever I say I feel sick ... "It's because you drive with the air on." Ummm NO I'm pretty sure it's because YOU drive with the windows down when its 20 degrees out.

OMG STewart is the same way!! That's funny!

we haven't gotten rid of the dog..but certain rules have definitely been met. It isn't as much of a mess as it looks... cross my heart

I could have american bread in the house but if I get it, half the loaf goes bad since now my son prefers pita bread. It isn't worth the money for me to buy my bread unless I know we are going to be having toast a lot or something. The pasta thing is the same...its not worth it to make it for just 1 (yep thats right, my son doesn't like pasta either) I have 2 very picky eaters in my house.

about the tabouli..Noor says the same thing....it can't be made from a box. I trust him on that but honestly didn't find any difference in taste between his style and the box. maybe I just don't know my tabouli

All I can say is thank God for cheese piza, chicken strips, and hamburgers. They are almost the only american foods we eat.

all the other stuff could have been lumped into a few categories ... I just lengthened them to give you all a laugh there were definitely a LOT of things we both had to adjust to that neither of us even thought of asking before he got here........ It has been a total blast though...I love him more every day

I understand about the computer thing... the computer at home is now in french and I don't want to learn french ... so I do my computer work at work...

[morocco4ever 63]

Last thing I want to do after my husband gets here is be on the computer after work! <my husband is a box>

I live in San Antonio too and have never once seen a scorpian in anyone's house. Does he live outside of 1604? Maybe if he lives on the outskirts of town that could be an issue? Because I have seen them in the country, but not really in the city limits.

Hey I didn't realize you live in SA too. Small world! Are you an Ali Baba's customer too? Or do you have somewhere better to go to that you've discovered?
