Wild dogs of course!
Did you smell the roses today?
I would, for I love roses and always "take the time to smell them," but there are none around me. I shall find some sort of wallflower to breathe.
Do you gather your rosebuds while you may?
I just missed one; maybe, two. I have been complacent and careless. I have been young and confused for too long. Now I'm in the twilight of my protracted adolescence. I hate my dreadful conscience. I’m gonna bury it now. Once and for all!
Same Q.
Certainly. If you do not, the day will come when you will forget what a rosebud looks like!
How close have you been to an actual wild animal outside of a zoo or protected reserve?
Yes, thrice. I have been face to face with a black bear in the wild and wooly suburbs of Denver. It had come down from the mountains, presumably in search of food. I was watched alertly by, and moved slowly and quietly away from, a cougar on a hike behind the campus of Pacific Union College in Angwin, California. Although not quite an urbanized local, it was still quite domesticated and humanized terrain and meeting the big cat was quite a shock. And, I've sat quietly on the shoulder of a road, near a golf course watching for nearly twenty minutes a red fox hunting in the rough of the course.
Have you ever felt one-in-spirit with a wild animal? If so, what was that experience like?
I felt one with my steak. It was very nice, it was made from a deer, so you can say I felt one with the animal, even if it was posthumously.
Same Question, I feel a little bad for butchering it. :D
Wildlife facinates me. I have had totally wild animals actually eat out of my hand. I have stood as a rattlesnake came from right under my foot and not moved a muscel, not from fear but from respect, I was in the snake's domain and the snake had the right to defend it. Respect them and they respect you. The rattlesnakes here in my mountains are deadly, but only if you bother them. If you leave them be, they can be facinating to watch, and they are really beautiful. Do I feel one with them? It is in my blood, for my grandmother was half-Cherokee, but not really. Just a sense of respect. Never kill what you don't eat (I abhor sport hunters!), and take only what you know you will use. Waste of the animal's life for nothing is not the Native American way. I have given up hunting myself, nature and I are too close.
To anyone who has never tried so-called "wild meat", (if you are not a vegetatian, whom I deeply respect,) what is it about venison (deer meat) that you think is so different from beef?
Before my vegetarian days, as a child, I tried venison once, and it tasted quite different from any other meat - much more tender, a strangely natural spice, very low in fat (and subsequently not as greasy), but that seems all I can recall (so many years ago!).
To the person below me: not knowing of its ingredients or consistency, have you ever eaten anything, and later regretted it?
Yes! I once had broth that a sheep's head had been boiled in. My parents had to eat the actual head though...
Same question...
Hm, well, nothing too serious. As I'm a vegetarian myself, I'm used to asking the cook concerning the ingredients of anything where I can't distinguish myself. At my graduation party, however, I carelessly ate some pieces of cake that were lying around and they were filled with some glitter-glibber-wobble-I-don't-know-what-stuff :sick:
To the person below me:
What is your favourite colour when it comes to clothes ?
PS: Nice avy, Vintage :nod:
At my size, it's mainly what fits! :lol: Black or kaki pants and red or black shirts.
Same question.
Blue, white and some sober shades of red. But, never liked black.
Same Q.
probably yellow.
What's your favorite question to ask somebody?
What do you like more? Sea or Mountains?
Same Question! (A very good question, Boris!)
