Please don't believe that about scorpions. I spend the winter in Ariz. so I hear and read about a lot about them. Some aren't poisonous but others are. You have to learn about them to know the difference. I went to pick up a pc. of yarn off my liv. rm. carpet but at the last min. something stopped me. It was a little scorpion. I stepped on him quite a few times to be sure he wouldn't come around again.

I just finishing reading all these stories someone should publish them! I grew up in East Texas so I know about snakes.
Thank all you brave souls for sharing these frightening but funny stories..I would have been dead long ago if I had had to deal with Palmettos, lizards, gators, scorpions.. nope, nooo thank you.
