Alligator-riding is best left to the pros:

It is not unusual. Schizophrenia frequently hits around the late teens. The family may rationalize that the person has to learn to live on their own so they refuse to respond to the inevitable crises. It is heartbreaking for the victim, those around him and even for the family.
Actually, the alligator will usually drag you underwater and you will die because you drown. They don't eat you until you're already dead. That's a blessing.
I’m guessing that alligators got her.
Who took the photo & then left???
I have to take out the trash. Wish me luck as I venture outdoors in bear-infested Oregon.
The name of this photo is called, “Hors d’oeuvre”
That is how psychologists prefer it.
I grew up in Florida in the 70s and 80s. We would never swim in freshwater lakes or canals. Never.
Being chomped upon, with a limb probably crushed and/or ripped up by huge teeth, and ultimately seized by a large gator, desperately trying to fight it off as it thrashes you with the old spin move, then being dragged underwater bleeding and struggling, knowing certain death awaits, fits my definition of horrible, but I guess opinions vary.
They’re hibernating at least over here.
Here’s hoping schizophrenia is in your future.......

Yessiree Bob!
Coastal Oregon doesn’t get that cold. After the equinox, things get growing.
Alligator-riding is best left to the pros:
Poor lady.......the picture is cringe worthy.......if not a gator, we also have poisonous snakes
Agree
I live here too.....and wherever you have water....be it lake, pond, river, etc ....you will have gators.
Once and only once a large gator was sprawled in our back yard......taking in the sun.
Golfers usually play around them.
Where this woman went swimming is a popular beautiful area....
....but locals know better than to swim in certain parts
Even small boats, canoes should be cautious
I was stationed at Homestead in the early ‘80s. We were all over the lakes and canals. The people in Florida are scarier than any wild animals.
“Stepped on” and “huge” don’t really go well together. What does he consider huge? Some people are afraid of some silly stuff.
Everyone knows that hoping someone “gets” schizophrenia is among the highest of Christian virtues. Didn’t Jesus mention that in His sermon on the hill, or high place or something like that?
Just great, now there is a schizophrenic alligator out there!
Well said. Schizophrenia is a cruel disease that rarely ends well. Destroys the young.
