I don’t know if I am sulking or not but I am certainly stewing on something. Or is that stewing over something? Anyway I have got a serious case of the hmmmphs and my stormy teacup needs to be put away.
Last week I commented somewhere and my comment was deleted, the post was then subsequently edited to bring attention to my deleted comment. I was treated like a troll when in fact I had used my name and url. Hmmmph!!!
So I have been thinking about my own comment policy, which before last week was non-existant. Policy? What policy? Gah! I sound like a politician. I like Mrs C’s comment policy, so I have decided to steal it adopt it. (just like a politician)
You can say anything you want if you’re respectful about it and don’t cuss. :]
I think that is fair enough too..
So now because it is my birthday and I need to stop thinking about the troll thing. I am going to giveaway two ceramic drinking vessels. I haven’t made them yet so if you are prepared to wait, (Petra waited 11 months and 29 days for her platter) all you have to do is comment and I will use a random number generator thingy to choose the winner on Valentines day..
I took a lot of photos this week. Lots and lots and lots and lots.
Comments on this entry are closed.
Wow are those snails up to something?? I always wondered how that happened. :]
And happy birthday!!! Groundhog day I suppose you get a lot of jokes about that. Or maybe not. Do you have Groundhog day there??
And hey. I like your comment policy LOL!
Some people are so stinkin’ immature that they can’t just respond to comments or, at worst, ignore the person they don’t like. I’m sorry that happened to you.
Mrs. Cs last blog post..For D and G.
Hey, jinx, b/c a comment I made somewhere last week never made it past moderation (I went back and checked) and I’m like WTF? Okay, fine then. DELETE FROM READER.
Not that I’m vengeful or anything 😉
Oops does WTF count as cussing? See, this is why I get deleted and I more often than not never comment anymore…

…on blogs in general. To finish my sentence!
Okay, I suck at commenting. Sorry.

I am giggling at MiscMum’s comments now, hehe.
And I love the snail sex and the frog!
Happy Birthday, to YOU! 🙂
Great pics and good policy for a politician! 😉

Wow, such cool photos….again! That reptile is mean looking and the snail sex is gross, eww! Love the pink sky in the last one, *sigh*
….and why do people enable comments if they won’t allow freedom of speech?! Aaargh!
Happy Happy Birthday! (feel free to exclude me from the draw, since I live at the other side of the world, I won’t hold it against you or delete you from my list!!)
Dughallmor Beagless last blog post..Tagged Twice, Lemonade, Some New Contests and Yet Another Sunset!
Wow – amazing photos!
Happy Birthday to you !!!
Maybe you’re grumpy too because you lost the cricket! (that’s hubby talk!) 😉
Avrils last blog post..Weekly Winners : 25 – 31 Jan
The first time I EVER commented on a mommy blog, I was commenting in SUPPORT of the writer and that I didn’t think she’d go to hell for one little slip up in parenting. ANOTHER blogger called me to the mat BY NAME and told me I’d be going to hell for my lack of morals. I was scarred for months and didn’t comment for ages. It sucked. I’m sorry that happened to you.
That 2nd one of the lizard will be burned into my retinas, I couldn’t stop looking at him. I LOVE the snail sex!!!!
Happy Birthday!! 29?
Happy Birthday gorgeous!
Big smootchy hugs for you.
And the comment thing? Happened to me once, I think you remember that? I totally blogged about it and she came over all ‘OMG it wasn’t ME!’ when everyone else was saying ‘wow how silly’ so she outed herself.
And THEN she turned into MY troll.
Some people are very very small.
YOU are fabulous. SHE is an idiot.
Wanna give me the URL so I can play with her mind? cause I love that.
And girl, I totally edited all the cussing out of this. Just for you. It was hard though 😉
You made GREAT pictures again this week Kim!
The second and the third of that snake are absolutely amazing!! And I loved the caption on the second snail sex picture!! Three is a crowd!!I think I have read somewhere that frogs are very horny creatures, they see a sex party, they want to join in!! Was it you who told that story? I don’t quite remember! But anyhow, what I REALLY want to say is, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM! Big big hug, and enjoy your day!!
As for that comment thing?
BIG BIG HUG KIM!!!
I don’t think you should give that another thought. A childish act like that should not ruin your day!

Now why does the big hug show up in the middle of that comment, when it was really the last thing I wrote?

I love the cute little skink, are the next two shots the same skink or a different lizard? I feel like a peeping tom watching the snail porn, and I’m totally impressed that you were able to capture the cricket. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one sit still for more than a second.
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Kimmie,
Happy Birthday to you.
Make a wish and blow out your candles. Before the fire brigade arrives, there IS a fire ban you know.
Happy Birthday, Kim.
I hope you’ve had a lovely day.
tiffs last blog post..All fingers and toes at the ready.

Tazs last blog post..67 Weeks Old and 9 Weeks Old
Happy Birthday!!!
Mum told me it was your birthday!
Comments mean someone is listening…
Beautiful Photos, especially the Blue Tongue
Tanyas last blog post..PREGNANCY!!!
Amazing pictures – again! I particularly like the lizard’s eye and the snails – what was that frog thinking?!
About the comment – I can’t believe that people are so childish about comments. I really can’t imagine that you were anything less than utterly respectful – silly person. Try not to give it another thought.
Barbaras last blog post..32/365 – Hooded
How rude of that person!
Happy Birthday sweet one!!!
Rees last blog post..The One in Which I Out Some New Commenters
You really got THAT close to a snake? Wow.
lceels last blog post..On Travel
It’s not fair, snails never have to sneak up an alley for a quick one, or pay for a motel room or anything.
Sexy snail time.
Xbox4NappyRashs last blog post..Snakes and ladders
Happy Birthday!
The comment thing makes me crazy…I have spent alot of time on political blogs, where you get insulted and slammed regularly, so the blogs where comments have to be nice and friendly and meet the blog owner’s approval are just not the place for me (you know what I am talking about…I suggested your son had consumed cherry flavored condoms. That wouldn’t fly on some blogs…)
I love the shot with the snails and the interloper frog. I continue to be very impressed with your photography!
julies last blog post..weekly winners…no volcano yet edition
Some days blogging makes me feel like we’re all back in high school! Sorry you had a not so nice experience.
Belated Happy Birthday!
My comment was edited from a blog I frequented and I’m now the pariah to be poked with a bargepole, apparently LOL.
Join the Persona non Grata Club poolside, Mz Kim, and sip the love-er-ly mint julips with us as we watch your gorgeous lizards, frogs and (not so gorgeous) snails get up to mischief 😉
Jaynes last blog post..Who’s a happy lil camper, then?
Aww… Happy Birthday young’un!!! 🙂
That platter was TOTALLY worth the wait!! Whoever wins the drinking vessels will be thrilled with the results, I am sure! 🙂
Awesome photos! As always. And Happy Birthday!
I am always nervous when I post a comment on a blog. I just never know how it is going to be interpreted.
Happy Birthday … I hope you had a fabulous day!!!
Jenn FLs last blog post..Belly Up
Happy Birthday! I wish you strong health and long years of happiness:))
Amazing photos again:)) Your place looks like paradise:)
sorry I am late but Happy Birthday Kim
hope it is a good year for you
I love your pics … love the snuggling snails !
Yes how rude to delete your comment and turn the post around.
Some lovely wildlife pictures here!
It’s hard to tell the difference between particular snakes and lizards. I almost got a fright when I first saw them!
