Aug 14, 2008 at 1:59 am -Shortb, I was aware of the Innocence Project long before I was aware of the Dreamin’ Demon. I do not want innocent people punished for crimes they did not commit. And I must chuckle a little, because you said there “is even an Innocence Project in New Orleans”–New Orleans being a criminal justice system with a long-standing reputation for being corrupt. Are you saying we should equate Livingston Parish with New Orleans when it comes to justice? I certainly hope not.
And I’m sorry, Shortb, but I do not know Couty, and he has not spoken to me face to face. I am not a court of law. Thus, I am guided by the data that has been released by the relevant agencies, data that suggest this was no “accident.” I understand how you could want to believe the word of a friend, but as for me, I am at a loss as to how a GUN can “accidentally” wind up pointed at the back of the head of my beloved wife and I (as the loving spouse) can “accidentally” pull the trigger. May I ask you honestly, Shortb? Are you saying that even in a situation such as this, Couty would not lie?
Whatever the case may be–accidental or intentional–Couty admitted to authorities that he killed Christa. And by killing Crista, he thus also killed his own unborn child. Subsequently, he tried to cover up his role in Christa’s death. How are we–people who have not talked with and prayed with and worked with Couty–supposed to believe that this was some tragic mishap? If Livingston Parish police cannot produce credible forensic evidence (e.g., angle of gunshot wound) that Couty held the gun to the back of Christa’s head, do you think we will insist he be tried for intentionally killing his new wife? The truth is, we will not. We will ask questions about an agency that seeks successful prosecution over the pursuit of accuracy. We will rattle bars and shake chains, and ask these questions, and yet, at the end of the day, Couty admitted to killing Christa. Where do we go from here?

Aug 14, 2008 at 3:02 am -Lizard, Couty could defenitely be telling me lies. I don’t let that possibility escape my mind. All I hope for is that the truth comes out! If it was not an accident, he deserves just punishnent. Christa’s family deserves some justice for what happend, accident or not.
I don’t expect any one of you, who do not know him personally to believe the “accident” story. Just simply saying that there are some of us who believe of the “possibility.” I am not the only one here who still befreinds him and who is still there for him, there are actually many of us.
I do not think horrible things about any of you who may believe different. I just wanted to share that there are different ways some of us look at this tragic case and that is just simply that it could have been accidental.
I do know that the detectives took bags of evidence out of the house that day. I am curious myself about the evidence that will be shown in trial.
I guess the reason I bring up the Inoccence Project is because after watching the show, I would think damn…alot of evidence was left out in majority of the cases….it was not allowed be to admitted into evidence, when it was the key factor to proving these people were innocent.
If it was an accident, I hope all of the evidence proving such will be admitted. Same goes if it was not an accident.
I do know that the prosecution has a nice head start. One of Couty’s family members called his lawyer, a public defender, and was told by her; honestly, I am so busy right now and I have not even started working on the case…….is he being properly defended???? HUM? That is some of the scarey stuff I am talking about……thanks
Oh and no, I do not equate Livingston Parish with New Orleans when it comes to justice. I just got a little excited when I read there was one close to where I live…….as I totally respect and believe in what they do!!!

Aug 14, 2008 at 3:24 am -Meg, I do know that a grand jury has been selected and there will be a hearing soon. I think this is a behind closed door hearing with only a few select people allowed to be there. I know Couty is not even allowed to be there, just the judge, lawyers, jury, and any witness the lawyers may have. The purpose of the hearing is for the grand jury to determine if Couty should go to trial with his current charges and if they feel he should not, they have the opportunity to lower the charges.

Aug 14, 2008 at 10:13 am -Are you saying that if everyone here at DD accidentally shot a beloved family member, we would all react by letting her/him lie there for hours as we pretended they were still alive and went to work and then came home and pretended that there had been a murder? Do you think that all of us would have put some unknown person’s future in jeopardy because if a suspect was ever arrested, that person’s life would be destroyed unless found innocent?
In what sense do you say that NONE OF US, INCLUDING EVERY PERSON ON THIS SITE, IS ABOVE WHAT HAPPEND OR WORSE? What do you mean, “above?”
I’m not sure what you are being “optimistic” about. Do you think Christa is going to come back to life? Or that Couty will turn out to have confessed when he’s entirely innocent — after you say he told you he did shoot her and it was an accident?
This is really puzzling to me. Can you share with us what Couty told you that makes you feel upbeat about the situation?

Aug 14, 2008 at 11:48 am -Shortb, I’ve gotten lost amid how lengthy this forum has grown…did you ever say, or are you willing to say, how exactly Couty claims he shot Christa on accident? It’s pretty hard to shoot someone by accident, unless you’re, like, on a hunting trip and are either exceedingly careless (the Dick Cheney model) or are untrained in how to handle a firearm.
My question would thus be: how did he come to be in the backyard with his wife, a loaded gun with no safety, and the gun pointed at his wife in such a way as to fatally wound her? What part of that scenario was an “accident”? (Basically, I’m asking the same thing Lizard asked in post 501).

Aug 14, 2008 at 12:23 pm -No doubt, LG420. Reminds me of the time one of my students was telling me about her summer job (maybe) riding around in an ambulance. She straightup told me that they made their own judgment calls about who to assist with alacrity and graciousness–people that were responsible for having harmed themselves in some way (through drugs, drinking, suicidal gestures, etc) were not treated well by ambulance staff. Sad and bizarre. Like someone becoming a cop just because they want to throw their weight around.
HCYBTW: although everyone has already explained patiently to you that your rant appears to have been typed by a mentally disabled drunk person with only 3 fingers, please allow me to add:
Your post is actually fairly entertaining, so please don’t stop now.
I try not to correct people’s spelling because it’s really obnoxious to do so, but you used the word so many times in your post that it seems to be one of your favorites, and thus you should know that “ridiculous” doesn’t have an “e” in it. Anywhere. As for negative comments, someone murdered someone else. Get a grip.
If I accidentally shot and killed my spouse, I would report it. At once. Period. Just because YOU don’t have any guiding principles in your life doesn’t actually mean other people don’t.
Of course he talks about all that. He’s getting ready to go to TRIAL. You wouldn’t make a very good witness for the defense if he said anything else to you, now would you? You are really very naive, very gullible. As for being “sorry”–I’m sure he’s sorry he got caught, and he may be sorry he did it. So what?
The only question that matters is, would CHRISTA have called it an affair? Would it have been okay with HER? It’s irrelevant what you and your party buddies think about it. Furthmore, if you know so much about it, tell us the details.
Well, that would probably be the smart thing to do, anyway.
This was my FAVORITE PART of your posting. You hope tragedy strikes everyone? Tsk tsk. You mean, like, struck by a bullet? Or do you mean you hope we shoot our spouses? And then you end with drivel about other people’s “fucking ignorance.” You, my friend, are the fucking ignoramus. You think other people’s lives don’t have tragedy? Please.

Aug 14, 2008 at 4:42 pm -Thank you Sugarglider for posting almost everything I logged in to say.
Have I been hard on Allison and Acadian? Yes. When is enough enough?
Sure they are not on trial here, but when you cultivate an enviroment where immoral behavior is socially accepted by people who rarely socialize outside of their each other and one of them takes it too far, enough is enough. The kind of behavior that is deemed “normal” in that group, is not what the cross breed of society would deem normal. It is, again, is an enviroment that breeds cockiness ie the “para-god” complex. Each one of those posters knows exactly what that is.
IMO Couty got cocky. And Couty got caught. Would he have gotten cocky had he never worked there? Maybe, maybe not. He worked a lot of other jobs and did not. But his “friends” probably don’t see that. It is normal to them.
I would like to get a survey of the age of those that posted. I am quite possitive not one is over 30 and guess none over 25. They are young and not emotionally mature and I question their ability to make strong judgement calls. Do their leaders make good solid moral decisions and make good examples for these young people? My opinion is no. When I call it a “zero-to-hero” program, I am not being ugly. It is what it is commonly referred to. They recruit young kids out of high school and put them through a quick paced program to fill empty spots on these units.
Am I trying to bash these medics? No, I am bashing the behavior that is “normal” to this particular group. It is not behavior you would find most anywhere else and it has gone on for a loooooong time. One of them just took things too far this time. It is no biggie that they were having an “affair”, because that is normal there. I bet he thought he knew enough people had enough friends, and was smart enough to play it off. It is questioned whether these individuals have the maturity and life experience needed to make sound decisions.
ShortB, you say you know him and he would not lie to you. Did you know him as a minister and witness of God? Did you know his wife and about his unborn child. Did you know about the religious principles he stood for? If you answer is no, he is a liar and a two faced person because that is the person the people who knew him his entire life knew.
I can assure you THEY did not know the man that would have an affair with his co-worker, shoot is pregnant bride in the head - the one he just promised before God and their families to love and protect- and leave her there for 12 hour while he LIED about what happened to EVERYONE telling them it was someone else. This means he lied to the 911 operator, he lied to his mother, he lied to his father, he lied to her mother and father, he lied to the sherriffs deputies, he lied to his friends that ran to his side. Do you REALLY not think it is possible that he is not lying now?
Please, throw me a bone and tell me your judgment is better than that.
Just because he chose a career in emergency services and was well liked does not make what he did more acceptable than if an unknown down the street did it. Please.
Right. Wrong.
Love & Marriage. Murder & Adultry.

Aug 14, 2008 at 5:46 pm -I have thought about this. Particularly when I come to this page and repeatedly see the smirk on his face in the mugshot.
If my wife were dead, particularly by my hand, you would have to physically prop me up to take that photo. My spouse is my life, whom I love with my all being. A smirk is the last thing you would find.
Just another reason I stand behind intentional homocide. I can also see where these young people with no life experience don’t get that.

At times we may be rough with our patients but is for our safety only. I don’t believe for a second it is to see who has the bigger balls. Plus, one needs to consider that we see the same patients over and over again doing the same thing by overdosing. I’m sorry I feel that it is just a cry for attention and when you do give them the attention these idiots who overdose will feed off of it again and again. Nor do I feel sorry for a patient who wants to attempt suicide because their life is too hard. Suicide is selfish!
Mojo…..
What is this that you speak of a “para-god” syndrome? This amuses me beyond belief. I love how you stereotype us here at Acadian. We have a job to do. Do we come across as too rough for you? If so maybe you should check your own age and try not to wear your emotions on your sleeve. How would you know what behavior is “normal in this group, as you say?”
And as far as the age group you want to surery; I’m 21 and I can assure you I make sound and competent decisions with each of my patients with no delay. It is what I am trained to do and I do it damn well! I would love to see the general public do what I do! That would be amusing to me.
All of you people who are doubting Acadian for what one person has done make me laugh too. All I have done with each of your posts is laugh. It has made my day. You don’t like Acadian, then next time you are in trouble call a drunk, or crackhead or jo blow off the street and see how far you get.

Called away from my just prepared meal to respond to the middle of B.F.E to a house with no numbers, no porch light on, nobody waiting to signal us in and they bitch because we took too long only to find out the patient left P.O.V ten minutes ago…so we smile and walk away from the verbal lashing only because we are
Standing in the middle of the street at midnight on the wrong side of town trying to patch the holes and stop the bleeding of a 19 year old shooting victim with the occasional bullet whizzing past our heads we never break stride because this kids life is in our hands—
Doing chest compressions on a 16 year old girl who decided this life was more than she could take. Her family screaming at us to help as though we are the ones who did this to her. Her lifeless body flailing about as the tube goes in and IV’s being started, my arms and back burning from the pain of 30 minutes of CPR never once giving up, hoping she would make it through and over come whatever lead her to this bad decision—

Aug 15, 2008 at 8:50 am -A couple of things…MOJO was right about the age thing, obviously. You obviously have that GOD syndrome he was talking about as full of yourself as your post is. What, you want a standing ovation now for *gasp* doing your J O B? This is what you are PAID to do, like police officers or doctors, don’t expect automatic adoration because you are doing it. THAT is the difference between immature and mature and the point being, hopefully, as you get older and more mature, you will not rant and expect kudos for doing what someone in this line of work SHOULD do.

Aug 15, 2008 at 9:08 am -With some of these stories, I try to feel my way into the mind of the person; this one remains outside my imagination. I see myself doing whatever with a gun and it jumps in my hand and suddenly my beloved is lying dead with a horrible wound in her head. I am an EMS person, so I know there’s no hope and she’s gone.
Then I can see Couty, given his background, thinking, “What have I done? They’re going to blame me!” And so he figures that it’s really just between him and his God and asks for forgiveness as he ransacks the house and sets up a fake crime scene. He’s in a panic over what has happened and he’s glad to run out of the house and leave the mess behind. During the day he functions robotically and even text messages to his dead wife, pretending for the instant that none of the tragedy happened.
But I cannot imagine not being overcome by grief and guilt. I cannot find in myself any way that I could not end the day by shooting myself dead by way of punishment. The ability to let someone whom I loved lie alone in a pool of body fluids and go into rigor mortis while I ate lunch and talked with friends is beyond my ability to imagine — unless there was a powerful motivation and in some way I blamed her.
But then, perhaps the horror of publicly being shamed by his church and families was enough to numb Couty to all decency. Perhaps he would have broken down and confessed later when he saw how long he would have to parade as a grieving victim spouse.
I find it much more plausible to believe that he got angry and killed his wife. He is a child in his emotions at any rate, either killing his spouse to avoid divorce or covering up her accidental death to avoid telling what happened.

Aug 15, 2008 at 10:35 am -So you are clearly saying you throw judgment on the people you are called to help. And then decide who deserves compassion and who does not. Apparently the mentally ill and substance abusers make a big hit with you. And are you telling me that if your patient is someone you don’t think deserves your compassion that you are not going to give them the best level of care? Are you making decisions on who lives or dies, or who gets your best effort or not based on how worthly? This is what they call the “para-god” complex.
If you are only 21, weren’t you “the general public” just 2 or so years ago.
Please tell me you are not so arrogant to think none of us here have worked in emergency services. Do not not think your behavior is on display to “the general public” everyday? Re-read some of these posts here. Think about it. It is not the job, but the behavior that has been cultivated in an isolated group of individuals.
I think that behavior along with the relationship with another woman had a huge influence on what Couty did.
After your post, I am more concerned than I was before.

Aug 15, 2008 at 12:27 pm -Shooting a loved one - accidentally or purposefully - and then covering it up is selfish and cold hearted. There is NO excuse for it. And there is even less excuse to find room in your heart for a cold-hearted and selfish person. No wonder he felt comfortable doing as he did, he has friends that find it acceptable, excuse it, and embrace him.
Couty’s self-serving explanations and excuses are designed to promote what his friends think of him. His actions seem to be surprising to them. When his deeds are do not match his words, they choose to ignore what he did and look to what he says. (I smell an idiom in there, somewhere.)
Had the tables been turned, I hope his wife would have shown him more care and compassion - traits far more valuable in a friend… someone you can truly trust your life to.

Aug 16, 2008 at 10:12 pm -hcybtw I want to address your ugly hate mail to DD on post 465. You address all of us as if we were the murderer. As if we were big bullies pickin on someone that can’t defend himself.
Dude, Couty’s favorite thing was hunting. He knew gun safety. You in NO WAY aim a gun at the back of your wife’s head. Not in jest, nor accidental. I have a gun and when my spouse or children is around, I get that thing out of reach and out of site and do not handle it unless my family is threatened with their lives.
Accident MY FOOT!!! What, he was cleaning it up at the range where Christa’s head just happened to be? Get real. NOT! He killed her and he meant to.
And you want to come in here cussin and fussin and acting as if YOU are offended at comments about how bad Couty was??!!
And you’ll NEVER convince me that you are a friend of Christa’s with that fowl nasty mouth of yours. Christa would have to wear ear plugs to tolerate you DUDE!
Now you’ve convinced me of this: that you are a controlling bully that has a one track mind that surely is a friend of Couty. Friends of murderers do indeed try to see the “good” in the murderer and help him lie. Sorry fella, you’re discredited completely as far as I’m concerned.

Aug 17, 2008 at 7:51 pm -ShortB I appreciate your comments. You sound like a grounded guy. Being friends with someone who commited murder isn’t an evil thing. Those who stick by Couty may be the only ones who can get his mind back to a healthy wholesome state.
But believe me, holding a loaded gun near your pregnant wife is no accident. Anyone who hunts (and Couty did) knows the ins and outs of gun safety.
I believe he (Couty) has moments of wanting the truth to come out so he speaks it. Then he has moments of needing to not look so horrific so he hides it.
As far as Allison, it is fact that she had an affair with Couty. I’m not trying to blast her, I’m simply pointing out her foolishness for messing with a “taken” guy….whether it was before the marriage, after the marriage or both. It’s wrong to do and it always always leads to heartache and trouble. I’m not saying it’s right to post horrible comments, I’m saying the affair is wrong and it warrants justice as well.
Unfaithfullness in a marriage can cause the worst crimes to be committed. I’ve seen the news, ShortB and it speaks for itself. Passion is too strong not to cause terrible things to happen.
As far as Acadian Ambulance goes, I do not group you as a whole and judge. That’s stereo-typing and it’s disgusting to me. If one of you committed a crime, may you be brought to justice. If one of you had an affair with a married man, or soon to be married man, you see what can happen.
Friends who know each other before a tragedy like this occurs cannot know what unbridled passion will do to them.
Can folks like Couty have a change of heart? I believe so. Can he move in the direction of a life pleasing to society and God? I believe so. It may be the only good that comes out of this. Because for certain Christa and the baby cannot come back. That is forever written.
My prayer is that Couty takes a hard look at what he’s done, speaks freely and truthfully and takes a hard turn for the good forever. And indeed as far as Couty, Allison or anyone else “involved” may justice be served to the fullest extend of the law.
I do hope you’ll stick around and give updates in this situation. I do appreciate you coming here and giving your thoughts.

Friends at Acadian, I commend you. You guys have been thru the ringer the last few weeks. The stupidity and just outright moronic “jokes” people have made just amuse me. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard people crack jokes at medics in the store where I work, such as poking the customer next to him, “watch out he might shoot you.” etc. etc. Just outright ignorant. You guys and gals have held up great. Keep doing the great job. It’s just a flaw of human nature for people to stereotype and judge. Of course who are we to judge, all sins are the same, with the exception of blasphemy (the unforgivable). All sins will get you to hell if you don’t repent of them. Adultery, Lying, Murder, Envy…etc..It takes one murder to be a murderer…one lie to be a liar..and without forgiveness you’ll go to hell for being both according to the bible, not the word of Tiffany. There is an arrogance in someone thinking anothers sin is greater than their own.
Proverbs chapter 29 (TEV)
23 Arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.
Keep a humble heart guys..All you have to do is speak the word of God, and those are discredited.
Of course, these on here throwing stones are wrong too. Laugh it off and Live it up as I always says. A true christian wouldn’t be sitting on here throwing stones at Couty. Couty made a mistake. Whether accidental or purposeful, it was a mistake. I will stand behind him, because he needs the hand of a fellow believer holding him up. I believe in forgiveness. As you all know I was an adulterer too. But by the grace and forgiveness of God, I turned my life around. I can hold my head high again. There is forgiveness in Jesus Christ. And I most definately believe there is forgiveness for Cooter. Like I said the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy.
You guys all know our lives as public servants. It IS your life if you let it. You live, breath and eat it. And soon it consumes you, if you let it. You form relationships at work due to the long hours and never being home with your family, because you’re working so much overtime to catch up from being underpaid by the ungrateful citizens. No one will understand the job you do. Paragod syndrome..that’s humerous…So they can sit here and yea that’s your job, blah blah blah…they have no clue and never will…let em try let em try it makes them feel better to think they know everything about everyone obviously..
if only the public knew the half of it lol…
Allison I stand by you. You made a mistake just as I did. Don’t beat yourself up over it. Ask for forgiveness and move on. What these unbelievers want you to do is to cave to their ridicule. And if you are a believer and sitting on here behind a ridiculous screenname, God forgive you. I’m woman enough to put my name. You scared or something??
As far as correcting someones errors, spelling or grammatical…get a stinking life…that is so lame dawg….just outright LAME…Obviously these people have no life, if all they do is sit here and read and post comments all day regarding someone elses life and misfortunes…geez find a hobby, get off your lazy behind and move! My favorite had to be do I get an award for the longest post yet?? Wow, you have no life!!! And don’t try to come back and say you do, because you don’t lol..Don’t even defend that..Loser.
Keep the faith. Continue doing the great job you do. I’m praying for you.
Love you guys

Aug 19, 2008 at 9:49 am -Lots of people have jobs that are all-encompassing. Plenty of us are underpaid public servants who spend too much time at work and not enough with our families. But most of us don’t get involved with married co-workers and then whine about ourselves when married boyfriend shoots his wife in the head.
Re: comments about spelling, etc. As an underpaid public servant, I do have a life. Much of that life involves teaching barely literate adults that the reason they are 40 and still barely making ends meet is because their atrocious language skills are holding them back from ever being considered for a higher-paying position. That, dawg, is what is truly LAME. As LAME as I suspect you will be 20 or 30 years from now, wondering why you’re always the worker bee and never the one with enough left over to save for retirement.

Aug 19, 2008 at 10:04 am -Tiffany, I too came onto this site, read a few comments and wanted to explode. But the more I read what people say here, the more I understand what’s really going on.
We’re greiving over Christa and the baby, Tiffany. Some express it in ways that others wouldn’t. We don’t understand how it could’ve happened and we’re posting our questions, our grief and our heartbreak at the end of two beautiful lives.
I won’t address any of that other stuff because it doesn’t warrant addressing. I just hope you go a little deeper with these guys here to understand their outrage at two lives ended unnecessarily. That’s all it is.
Read the quote at the top by Albert Einstein. The guys that created this site needed an outlet for expressing the horror of terrible things that people do to one another. Some of us just got involved because we’re close to the families of this particular case and need an outlet as well.
We may not all agree on our beliefs, but that’s not what this site is for. It’s to express your thoughts, your hurts, your wounds and just like them, I feel it too.
ImpQueen has a post if you look farther up that will take you to a link here that explains why they do what they do, say what they say so you can better understand where everyone is coming from.
I’m not agreeing with all the potty mouths, but I’m here on this site created by Morbid and ImpQueen and others so who am I to think I can come here to “their house” and change them with my anger and outrage of their expression of grief?
If we who call ourselves the Lord’s would come with a loving heart instead of shouting and screaming scriptures, Jesus would be much more glorified in us. Love you Tiffany; you’re my sister.

Perhaps you should work in a call center. That might be about your speed. BUT NOT a call center for people who are suicidal, obviously, since your ignorant self would just tell them to just buck up. Who the hell are you to judge whether or not other people’s lives are hard? What do you think is “hard,” anyway? Being raped? Having survived a childhood of abuse? Being unable to pay the bills? Yeah, those people who try to kill themselves are just selfish idiots who want the attention of a COMPASSIONLESS MORON to show up in an ambulance and show them some warm, loving “attention.”
Too late. I’ve already judged you. And quite harshly. Quit your job. Go find something to do that you are emotionally capable of doing. PLEASE.

Aug 24, 2008 at 3:03 pm -Hey Lizard,
SoShocked here again. You mentioned in post 102 that you may have an e-mail that I can write to you. Is that still OK? I have several young ones, and not much computer time. Just wanted to make sure I’m not wasting time writing a “phantom” e-mail
After seeing all the posts (wow!) yall may know more than me!!! I haven’t read them, so I don’t know what you’ve heard. I have some information from close sources, but most of it is still speculation and opinions. Some of it is fact.
Lizard, I think you are a very nice guy, as well as several others on this site. I appreciated converations from an objective point of view from those who didn’t actually know the families. I never had anything against yall personally. Everyone here (in the BR area) is still trying to cope with this tragedy, although I’m sick of some of the idiotic things that I hear over and over such as, “God allowed this to happen to Christa”. It’s as if the Independent Baptists don’t believe in God given free will, and they give a very peculiar “image” of God with these types of statements. Then again, I guess people are just trying to make sense out of all this.
I’ll check back to see if the e-mail is set up.
God Bless.

Aug 24, 2008 at 5:22 pm -With all the stuff that has happened on the site, Morbid hasn’t yet set up my e-mail account, and I figure if I bug him too much, he’ll call me hurtful names and make me cry. However, I asked Impqueen if it would be all right for you to send a message to her, which she’ll forward to me, etc. etc. Her e-mail is Impqueen@dreamindemon.com. So you know I’ll be the one ultimately replying, mine will end with “ameritech.net.”
I guess you missed the few entries about posters’ genders…I am pretty nice, but I’m not a dude. It was kinda fun being thought of one for a while, though. Freeing somehow. Kathy outed me.

Aug 26, 2008 at 12:07 am -Lizard, a female? That’s not what I pictured. For some reason, I thought male, rough exterior, big heart, maybe late thirties… Lol! That’s funny. I guess it was the name. But hey, I love lizards! What a cool little creature, along with frogs, spiders, and snakes. (I’m female too btw) … still laughing
That explains the sensitive element I picked up on
I’ll write as soon as I can. Been very busy lately.
