I was raised in Mexico. I spent a lot of time in the water growing up. I live in California. I am a construction worker. I have twin daughters.
I am going on a trip to Hawaii soon. I have been to Hawaii three times. I am recently divorced. I used to be a Marine stationed in Hawaii. I love to scuba dive. I have two pet snakes called Bert and Ernie.
What about your snakes? I'll bet THEY are cute! Do they eat live mice? I usually use frozen, but they take live when I'm able to get them. Wow I didn't realize there was such a thing as frozen mice! Are they cheaper to buy that way? yeah, it's easier to buy in bulk.  Have you thought about getting any pets for your girls? My twin girls have been begging me to get a dog, but I'm not sure they're prepared to do the work involved in taking care of it. My youngest girl, Amanda, really wants to get a Pomeranian dog. Meh, little dogs are the worst!  You need something big and protective, like a German shepherd or a Great Pyrenees.  Those are great for families.  German Shepards are really scary to me. If they wanted to, they could really hurt someone, especially my young girls. When I lived in Mexico, Chihuahuas and Mexican hairless dogs were quite popular. You're way more likely to get bit by a Chihuahua than a German Shepherd.  They're great family dogs.  But I understand being cautious with the kids.  Maybe start with something easy, like fish! I certainly won't be buying any snakes! I had some close calls with sea snakes when swimming in the Rio Grande and Colorado River back home. Have you gone scuba diving lately, or will you be doing that when you go to Hawaii? Not lately, too land locked here in Oklahoma.  But the next trip I'll be sure to get tons of diving time in. I've never been scuba diving, but I bet you get to see some fascinating stuff underwater. Will this Hawaii vacation be the first without your ex-spouse? No, I was there with the Marines before I met her.  We got married there but then moved back to the mainland when I got out.
