Thanks - I don't think I have even seen a picture of a firefly. They would be super neat to watch in the night sky. Now, snipes I've seen, just not fireflys. Snipes don't fly though - in fact, they aren't even in the insect family although they have been known to bug people. Hugs - a B.SANDRA QUACKENBUSH wrote:

Oh you guys. I remember my uncles taking my cousin, Pat, on a snipe hunt when he was about 10.

I'll never forget the size of his eyes when he ran into the house saying he'd s-s-s-s-s-seen a s-s-s-s-s-s-snipe, and please s-s-s-s-s-s-save him, right now! My uncles told snipe hunting stories for weeks

to get him hiped up about going, and then took him out one night and sat him in the big old rope and

board swing way out in the back forty. They left him there with a gunny sack and a lit candle, and

told him to wait very quietly so he could catch one...them being very hard to catch. So, he waited

for about an hour, and one of the uncles came up behind him and waved a hanky in his face and made some awful screeching noise, and Pat headed for the house post haste. He was so deathly

white, my Grammie had to give him hot tea with lots of sugar and brandy to get the color back into

his face. Needless to say, the uncles scared themselves when Pat went so white, and they never

held a snipe hunt again. Served them right, the old tricksters. LOL Love, MM

What are snipes?? Oh , you poor girl! Snipes are just so totally cute, even cuter than a raccoon! I'll have to tell you all about them. As kids, we used to hunt them. Not with guns though. Hugs - a B."doxiemom()" wrote:

The Beaver Indians called them that because they were "big hairy beasts". I have never seen a

Winnebago, though, or Sasquatch. Not even a print. MM

a B., About those critters, I'll keep an eye out when we go back up to the north coast in another

ten days. I'll be gone a whole week next time. Whoohoo! Love, MM

[Guest guest]

, It's not a plot, it's the truth, I swear it. Winnebagos are magical white hares, a myth of one

of the eastern seaboard tribes. Mishemukwas are bears in the Beaver language, and Sasquatch is

the Indian name for Bigfoot. A jackalope is a critter that is the offspring of a mating between an

antelope and a jackrabbit. Does that clear it up for you? LOL MM

[Guest guest]

No, our chasers (or runners) used metal pan lids like cymbals and clanged them together to make noise. And the catchers used gunny sacks (just like the ones we used for gunny sack races). I'm sure there are several different ways to hunt snipes. But you and I are not talking about your every day run of the mill snipe, now, are we! Hugs - a B.Debbie wrote:

, you poor darling! Have you heard of the Internet? Try doing a Yahoo search on each one and see what you find out. I like Yahoo because if you mess up with the spelling they will try to help you with it. Try looking up Big Foot first. I think it's 2 words, but not sure. He/she is also known as Sasquatche and the Abomable Snowman (I doubt abomable is spelled right). The name of the creature is dependent upon the area. Way up north it's the Abomable Snowman. Where I live and up into Montana and over into Washington it's Big Foot.
