I was so excited!  I mean i was jazzed!  I was jumping-up-and-down excited!  
why? because it was april 12, and the next day would be the first offical
day of Songkran!  what? don't tell me you don't know what Songkran is!  You
poor deprived people!  Songkran is the annual three day thai waterfight!  
For three days in the middle of april, everything in thailand closes down,
and people spend all day throwing water at eachother!  I'm not making this
up!

So I'm back, with part 2 of my saga.  But before I launch into this, I must
type a disclaimer:  I am a very blunt, down-to-earth type of person, and I'm
a CNA - nothing grosses me out.  So if you are the squeemish type, you
probably should avoid reading this, though it will be very educational! 

When it comes to creepie crawlies, I consider myself a very tolerant person, especially for a girl.  I don't scream when I see a spider or snake, (in fact I don't scream for practically any reason, and girls that do frankly get on my nerves! no offence anyone!) or run away from a lizard.  I at least tolerate most creepy crawlies.  However, they do have this one annoying problem in common:  they like to pop out at the most annoying times and at least try to scare people.  Thus the reason why I can't stand the one critter I hate: Toads.  and frogs too, but they arn't as bad. I could be walking calmly down a path, enjoying the evening cool, when all of a sudden, HOP!  right in front of me, a "rock" moves.  I mean, how freeky is that!?  (but I still don't scream!)  So that is why, when I found a gargantious granddaddy toad residing in front of my house, I asked him to leave, and not so nicely.  In fact, I even ushered him, with the help of a long stick, from his residence in my gate ditch to a new home across the street.  But this guy was huge!  He was the size of a volley ball!... ok... a grapefruit!... ok fine, just a large orange size.  But that's still way to big for my comfort.
