16th February 2009 Stefanie Schmidt	Amazing - From: The Wet Wow, it was so great to hear from you Scott and I am glad you are doing so well down under. The place still looks amazing and I am so jealous of all your adventures. Thanks for keeping in touch, I love your pictures and videos, amazing!
19th August 2008 bridget	Love hearing from you - From: We Survived You guys are having such a fantastic time. What a wonderful experience. I love hearing from you and looking at all the beautiful pictures. Glad you are both still healthy and unharmed from your various adventures. Look forward to another blog update. Love Aunt Bridget
6th August 2008 The Parkers	WOW!!! - From: We Survived Sounds like a fantastic, dirty, scary, dangerous, wonderful time is being had. To bad school has to be interferring occasionally. Crystal, we are copying your underwater pics and putting them up in our hut. Should add to the tiki atmosphere nicely. Jack asked if you will be back soon as you have been gone for quite awhile. I told him....um...not quite yet! Stay AWAY from crocs.duh!
4th August 2008 Dad	Did my comments go thru? - From: We Survived I sent a long one on 25 July, so hope you received it. I love you, Dad
28th July 2008 Aunt Lu	Great job Crystal! - From: We Survived Thank you for sharing the gorgeous photos. We love reading about your exploits. Congrats on completing the first semester. We look forward to your next update. Our love, Aunt Lu
24th July 2008 Mike	Loved the croc warning sign pic - From: We Survived Way better than those boring rattlesnake and mountain lion signs in the parks 'round here. Sounds awesome guys - thanks for sharing the stories with us.
23rd July 2008 Sarah	- From: We Survived Good lord you two sure know how to make people jealous. Well, the diving and rain forest part anyway. Can't say that I'm too jealous about the upside down car or how you looked after having to drive without a windshield. What an experience! Keep it up (:
23rd July 2008 Aunt Dianna	OMG - From: We Survived Crystal...you are making your Uncle Bob very jealous. The underwater photos are awesome. Maybe you can frame them and sell them for money! And Scott...will you PLEASE be careful! You look like you were having a great time...just don't have too much fun!!! Keep the adventures coming...Love, Aunt Dianna & Uncle Bob
22nd July 2008 Jen	Oh yah - From: We Survived And congrats Crystal on doing so darn good at the volleyball competition! Oh and for putting up with my brother's shenanigans. And, ahem, I see in these pics there is a fruit bat being fed?! This had better be the one that you've taken home with you in order to prep him for shipping to Jen's House. Thank you.
22nd July 2008 Jen	Awesome. - From: We Survived Dude, you sang irish songs, and I wanna know which ones! And with the fruit bats eating over your heads while you camped... doesn't that mean they were also crapping on your heads as well? Bwahahah. Oh My God. Your adventure sounds gnarly. Australia kicked your ass indeed. In fact it's more like, Australia 5, Scott 0, because I think 5 points are awarded for not only forcing you to drive with out a windshield, but to bathe in croc infested waters, AND to have a ranger yell at you about it. HAHAH I can totally see you driving around without a windshield and being like "Oh shit, cops.... do-de-do-de-do...Hmmm nothing to see here..." Geez. Glad you're okay. And thank you for the totally hilarious description that made me laugh out loud at work and therefore alert everyone around me that I'm not getting any work done. Punk.
30th June 2008 GG 'n Dean	Thank You, Scott! - From: It's almost winter break! We really have enjoyed reading your Blog. Thank you and Crystal for all of it and especially for sharing your wonderful and such interesting adventures. Hope all is going well and you continue to ace all of your classes. Love! Love! Love!
6th June 2008 carley	awww - From: It's almost winter break! ok...the finch and the pebble lizzard are two of the cutest amimals ever! i love 'em!
1st June 2008 Aunt Lu	Nice to "see" you - From: It's almost winter break! Thanks for the great photos and update. You both look good. Just back from London after visiting Regina and Mike. They're doing great and going into their "short timers" countdown. Her three years at London U. Birkbeck are almost done. You too will be at that point some day. Keep up the good work.
29th May 2008 Gary	Furry Butt - From: It's almost winter break! I like the furry butt photo..was it your's or Crystals?
29th May 2008 The Jen	- From: It's almost winter break! Told you koalas are cute... even if they are fierce. And OMG I love the pebble lizard too! Miss you guys, glad things are going good, glad school's finally about done with. Good luck on finals and all that.
15th April 2008 Aunt Bridget	Cool Pictures - From: break, bikes, balls, broadwater Interesting entries - sounds like you're having a great time. Cool pictures! Miss ya!
14th April 2008 Beau	Beau has a bat question - From: break, bikes, balls, broadwater Why are the bats not in a cave? (We read a book where bats lived in a cave) also he wants to know if they are really bats, or foxes? How big are they?
10th April 2008 Patricia DeLaunay	I see it! I see it!!! - From: break, bikes, balls, broadwater Re: "Look close and see if you find anything else besides the bird's nest"... I see it! I see...BIGFOOT!!!! COOL!!!
10th April 2008 Catherine	- From: break, bikes, balls, broadwater Yeah! Pictures of bats! Keep them coming!! And I'll see what I can do about the candy, but honestly, I think I'll have a lot of trouble finding RECESS pieces...
31st March 2008 Aunt Lu and Uncle Jack	Sorry to be late.... - From: yup, still alive Hi! Guys!! Just back from a visit to Texas to see the Elliott family, and to be honest soak up some sun, and we're pleased to see a new update. Sounds like great times and the pictures are great. Keep up the good work. Scott, have you heard of "white nose syndrome"? Our bats in the northeast are dying of it at a rapid pace, to the point where people are concerned about the biting insects and other bad bugs this summer. Let us know about your trip to Magnetic Island. I believe there are RCI timeshares there we can trade out for. Our love, Aunt Lu and Uncle Jack
27th March 2008 The Parkers	We are sending the boys to you - From: yup, still alive frankly they are driving us crazy and would have such a good time with you two. Just think of them as two more wild and untamed critters. Crystal keep him in line...good luck! miss ya Aunt Denise
21st March 2008 Jen The Almighty	YES PETS in Australia... and Sacramento... - From: yup, still alive Scott, I must argue against Ms. Catherine Fox's comment... I say start getting some tanks going and nabbing those pets. And while you're at it, next time I see you I'm expecting you to bring me a) a fruit bat b) an aye-aye (i know you're not in Madagascar, but you should get me one anyhow) c) A frilled lizard and I'll name him Ralphie, and tell him that I choo-choo-choose him. d) Vegemite. Yum. e) Oh and how bout a boonie Hat? Do it.
20th March 2008 Mike Reeder	So, how drunk are you . . . - From: yup, still alive . . . in the frilled lizard picture? ;-) Good to hear from you again.
20th March 2008 andie	Good to hear from you guys! - From: yup, still alive Hey! It's great to hear from you guys. I'm glad you are both doing well. I love hearing about your adventures, it looks like you guys are surrounded by some amazing wildlife.
20th March 2008 Mom Vickie	Do see a slight resemblance!! - From: yup, still alive Hi you two...I am so happy you are sharing your adventure. Scott, even though I am more a furry critter type person, I have to tell you, that frilled lizard almost melted my heart. I did see a slight resemblance between the two of you!!! Take good care of each other, looking forward to another chapter in your adventure....Love you both. Mom Vickie
19th March 2008 Sarah	Hey - From: yup, still alive I can't believe you would have put that poor fella in a tank ): I'm so glad you guys are doing well and have this opportunity!
18th March 2008 Aunt Dianna	good golly! - From: yup, still alive So Scott, Are you screaming at the lizard (dragon) or is he screaming at you? You both look pretty scarey! Your advantures sound awesome. Glad the visit with the death adder was benign today...Doesn't sound like anything I'd like to get acquainted with! I guess you just have to keep your eyes and ears alert and have the ol' faithful "snake stick" ready. Thanks for the pictures. Totally awesome. Nothing going on here...just the suicide flight of butterflies and bees, hitting the windshied. Love to You and Crystal, Aunt Dianna
18th March 2008 Teri	Look out "Bindi the jungle girl" - From: yup, still alive Look out "Bindi the jungle girl", here comes Scott and Crystal. We are having so much fun reading about your adventures and looking at your pictures. Here in Colorado we don't have any Jungle adventures so we watch a lot of "BINDI" at our house. Alexis and Trent think she is the coolest ever. Although I have to say you guys are a very close 2nd. Alexis wants to know if you live in a cool tree house like Bindi? ;) Keep having fun and be careful. Lots of love- Teri
18th March 2008 Catherine Fox	No pets in Australia! - From: yup, still alive Scott, if you were anywhere within reach, you'd be in BIG trouble for talking about collecting animals and taking them home as pets. There's a reason it's illegal to have native animals as pets you crazy fool!
18th March 2008 Patricia	Did he say "rhino beetle"??? - From: yup, still alive Rhino Beetle!!???? Uhm.....how big do you have to be to classify as a rhino beetle?? Anyway, wow, keep the pics and the blogs coming!! You guys should do some kind of traveler channel report or something..during your "free time" of course. Crystal, love and miss you, but so glad you're there. Hey, let me know if you happen to hear anything in your conservation classes about eco-textiles (doubt you will, but you never know!)
10th March 2008 Faith	WOW - From: The first snake and more Eastern Brown Snake! It's the second most venomous snake in the world (or so I saw on a website). Maybe it's important for you to be a little careful whilst traveling around Australia. Crystal is very wise and a trustworthy companion so I suggest listening to her.
10th March 2008 Catherine	BATS!!! - From: The first snake and more Yeah flying foxes! I'm so excited you're thinking of putting up some feeding stations. Let me know if you need any help, I can send you lots of info! And by the way, you just missed one of our latest updates on sea kraits (exciting I know!) and one of the most important things I learned is that ALL of the world's 10 most deadly snakes are in Australia! So watch it Scott! Don't try to be a herp-superhero ;o) I just got back from Costa Rica with a bottle of Centenario - wish you were here to share it with! Have fun and say hi to the bats for me!!
6th March 2008 Alicia	Nice Pics - From: The first snake and more Glad your posting pictures, they turned out great. You have to get a Picture of a Flying Fox, that would rock! How did your first day go at school? I'm curious what classes your both taking this term. Very cool about the snake, and listen to Crystal... you'll live longer.
3rd March 2008 Sarah	SO excited for you two! - From: The first snake and more Hey Scott. Thanks for keeping us up to date. It sounds like you have found a great house in a great location! What an adventure. Good luck on your first big day of school! Did you pick out your outfit yet?!?!?!
1st March 2008 Aunt Lu	Great Photos - From: The first snake and more Hello from the artic north east. Nothing new here except a few more feet of snow. Think you could send a little of that heat this way? Or, maybe some rain to melt down a bit of this snow? I very much enjoyed your blog entries detailing the adventures you have had so far. It's so much fun living vicariously through others! I could use a few of those snakes to eat the mice and chipmunks that I know are under all of this snow munching away on our spring bulbs. Just thought you would find it interesting that all of a sudden we seem to be getting news about events in Australia. Either that, or I am just paying attention to what has always been there. We heard of the two fishermen who were rescued under amazing odds when they lost their boat at sea. If any one you know is in the mood for skiing we have a minimum of 7 feet of packed snow on the ski trails at this time with up to 6 more feet of snow fall probable before winter is over. Sounds like the California mountains are in similar shape. The only "animal" news I can share with you from Vermont is that people are feeding feeder mice to the owls who are having a tough time finding rodents due to the heavy snow, the little guys tunnels through it. Also, the deer we normally see aren't moving much because they sink too deep into the snow. In fact, people have been told to tie up their dogs or leash them so they don't chase the deer. The deer have heart attacks trying to run away, and the dogs being lighter don't sink in much. The squirrels are entertaining as they feast in the so called "squirrel proof" bird feeders, and get rattled when ganged up on by teams of black capped chickadees. Jack's job of clearing snow off the house and garage roofs has been made much easier as now all he has to do is walk along the berm of snow behind the garage as it is only about a foot lower than the roof. We'll be thinking of you as you start school this week. We're proud of both of you and what you have and will accomplish. Our love, Aunt Lu
1st March 2008 Anitza	So cool - From: The first snake and more That is so cool! I am happy that you are keeping up with the blog and the photos. I also concur with Staci in that I want to see tons of bat photos!
1st March 2008 Patricia DeLaunay	- From: we made it Oh so glad to hear all the news, and completely THRILLED at the prospect of discovering, in the pages/comments of this blog, exactly what "kangarooing" means...! The sharing of pouches is surely involved... All my love to Crystal, miss her too too much!
1st March 2008 Tracyk	Watch out for those cockatoos! - From: we made it I walked under a tree full of cockatoos in Cairns and they all pooped on me! It is supposedly lucky, but they always say that, don't they? Glad you made it okay. Do you now see why you need polished floors? HUMIDITY!!! Remember to drink some VB and Carlton Cold for me. Tracy
29th February 2008 Gary	Snake tongs - From: The first snake and more Holy crap Scott..... you just happened to have snake tongs???? Geez, I feel like a he-man when I have my Gerber multi-tool strapped on my belt. Put a pair of snake tongs on my Christmas wish list...or do you suppose my seldom used BBQ tongs would work?? You two be carefull... Love, Uncle Gary
Staci 28th February 2008 Stacina	- From: The first snake and more Ooooh! A bat feeding station in the backyard? That sounds awesome! I LOVE bats so I expect to see many, many pictures! Your place sounds really cool, and even better with all the wildlife abounding. I'm so glad you decided to start blogging so we can keep up with the two of you. :D Keep up the posting, look out for the spiders, and don't let the turtles bite your toes!
Staci 28th February 2008 Stacina	Yay! You made it!!! - From: we made it Hello! I'm glad to hear you guys made it relatively unscathed! Sounds like quite an adventure so far. Glad to hear you found a place...and I'm jealous about the kangaroo sighting! The mailmen sound very entertaining! Are they shirtless? wink wink
26th February 2008 Jen	yay! - From: we made it Sounds good so far, especially about the mailmen.. good times!
21st February 2008 Eliot	eventual spooning - From: we made it i cant wait to spoon and kangaroo you. thats right, kangaroo as a verb. you figure it out.
21st February 2008 Alicia Archer	Glad your not homeless - From: we made it Sounds like you had quite the treck. Glad your not homeless anymore. I'll have to tell Melissa that you saw a cockatoo! You need to take pictures so we can see them posted on your blog. When do your classes start? Do you know what your taking this term?
21st February 2008 anitza	Phew! - From: we made it Glad to see you guys made it there alright and even moreso that you found a place to stay in! As an aside, I have to say that making me register to read your blog irked me and I may not be able to keep up with it this way! lol What are you hiding, Scott?! :p Take care and keep us posted.
