I'm glad to know I probably wasn't imagining things, then. He must have decided on flight instead of fight.
I saw a skunk a while back when I was visiting somebody. He/she marched across the parking lot and disappeared into the rocks in the rock wall by the bank as bold as brass. I'm not sure what one was doing in town.
I guess skunks stamp their front feet to warn you if they feel threatened before they spray, which I've never seen but sounds absolutely adorable. :)

Juliet
2023-03-12, 17:01
Don't know about stomping their feet I just know don't stand behind them.
We've had one in the past take up home under our deck, could not go outside for quite some time afterwards, had to hold our nose.

Zenobia
2023-03-13, 23:35
Yikes! Now that's not a house guest anyone wants. :laugh:

Later...

Juliet
2023-03-14, 15:54
I don't know whatever happened to the skunk but we have seen a ground hog in the back yard.......pretty sure they don't have a pleasant smell either.

Zenobia
2023-03-15, 00:01
Quebec had a sad groundhog day this year when they found out their groundhog Fred la marmotte had passed away.
I'm not sure if groundhogs smell or not. We were the (very reluctant!) host of a mama raccoon and a guesstimated 4 to 6 raccoon babies in our shed a year or so back, and they didn't smell real fresh or spring-like I'll tell you that.
I discovered a very very (very!) large raccoon in the shed when I went to get my paint brush in there. My husband was gone away for a week or so.
After some research into humane evictions and discovering that raccoons are great mothers, but there was a small chance she might abandon them if evicted, I let her remain in the shed. I was very careful not to engage with her or them so they wouldn't become human friendly.

Fun fact: Having this kind of conversation...."Screeeam -What are you doing in my shed!??! You can't stay in there. Are you pregnant!?! You can't stay and have babies in there. Shoo! Shoo!" is apparently not a very good raccoon deterrent. :laugh:

Juliet
2023-03-15, 17:42
Oh my gosh, didn't they do checks on Fred la marmotte?
LOL

I'm thinking, someone screaming at me would probably make me get the heck out of dodge.

Walking into the garage one summer day I just happened to look up, still don't know why I did that but, I saw a support beam or whatever and saw a hornets nest just above my head that I had not seen before.
Wasn't a small nest so I have no clue why I had never before but..........gave me shivers to think that thing could had fell on me and then I would had been in a world of hurt!

Zenobia
2023-03-16, 00:59
I guess they must not have except for the day before groundhogs day they checked his burrow. I'm not sure if he died of old age or something else , the poor thing.
Not sure what that means for spring coming, lol! :laugh:

Yikes! That's scary.
I once sprayed a hornet's nest out of the barbecue with a hose. Probably not the safest endeavor or my smartest moment, but I was unscathed, hehe!

Goosebumps...

Juliet
2023-03-17, 02:22
My luck, there wouldn't had been a water faucet.

big hairy spiders

Zenobia
2023-03-17, 06:09
They seem to like the barbecues for some reason. I've had a hornet's nest in two different ones.
I don't mind spiders too much. Somebody online posted a video of spiders crawling through the snow the other day, which I thought was a bit weird, but I dunno, maybe spiders do that and I just didn't know about it.

Juliet
2023-03-17, 15:49
oh heavens that had to look absurd.
I would think they like tropical environments better.

Zenobia
2023-03-18, 04:11
It did, and there were quite a few of them. I looked it up, and I guess they sometimes do that, but that's the first I ever heard of it.
We were practically tropical with our nine degrees celsius today, lol. :laugh:

Juliet
2023-03-18, 17:00
Lying in a chair on a beach in a tropical destination right now sounds very inviting.

Zenobia
2023-03-21, 05:32
Yes, very much so. :)

dang, you going to blow folks across the border
significant risk of damaging winds

Zenobia
2023-03-24, 03:26

Yes, I bet it's a lot of fun. :)

Tour...

Juliet
2023-04-24, 15:20
OK, didn't receive notifications

I'd love to go on an Alaskan cruise to see the iceberg calving

Zenobia
2023-04-25, 05:24
Notifications? Well, shucks, that means my "Juliet-has-won-the-lottery-and-is-off-seeing-the-eiffel-tower" theory is wrong! :laugh:

That's the first time I'd heard of iceberg calving before. That would be an exciting thing to see.

Glacier...

Juliet
2023-04-25, 17:44
Wowssa
Wish that theory had been right!
Have a friend who recently did take the cruise and an extra side event to go Whale watching.

Zenobia
2023-05-01, 08:05
That would have been awesome! :)

That must have been really nice.
I've never been whale watching in the wild, but I did get to go to SeaWorld to see the killer whales many, many moons ago.

Juliet
2023-05-02, 15:12
Killer whales, the name itself should give warning.....stay respectfully away

Zenobia
2023-05-04, 04:26
Quiet observation at a distance. :)

Juliet
2023-05-04, 15:34

Which seems to have been changed or missing these days.

Zenobia
2023-06-05, 03:19
Gone...

Yes, that's a shame to see, sometimes. Though some things seem to progress as well sometimes. I notice there seems to be less litter laying around than there was when I was a kid, and things like that. My outlook changes depending on what mood I'm in some days, I think, hehe! :laugh:

Juliet
2023-06-05, 16:50
One thing to remember is self protection

Zenobia
2023-06-06, 02:27
Yes, that's always a good thing to keep in mind, I think.

Defense...

Juliet
2023-06-06, 18:11
Jujitsu

Zenobia
2023-06-08, 02:11
I think I looked at a few beginner type things with Jujitsu a couple years back online, but I never kept up with that, though it may have been something else. Just general self defense type things. I guess it didn't stick, because I've mostly forgotten all of it.

Martial Arts...

Juliet
2023-06-08, 15:39
I really don't want to meet up with anyone who's well trained, you know because I have no combat skills.

Zenobia
2023-06-10, 05:11
Me either. Though when somebody knocked on my door years ago really, really late at night I shocked myself when I hulked out(or perhaps that should be she-hulked out, actually.) :laugh::laugh: Probably wasn't the most advisable thing for me to do, but they ran off into the night.

Fight...

Juliet
2023-06-10, 15:46
Here, it's been captured on ring video young kids, teenagers I guess, run up ring doorbells then run off. Thats not advisable because some people have their little friend
Smith and Wesson there to welcome them.

Zenobia
2023-06-12, 07:58
Yikes! You'd think they'd know that might happen. Or at the very least they'd be on camera and may be identifiable. Guess teenagers really wouldn't think that through, though, I did dumb stuff when I was that age,too.

Gunshots...

Juliet
2023-06-12, 21:55
I was to scared of doing stupid stuff, my dad would grab his belt

Zenobia
2023-06-13, 02:01
My parents never used a belt or anything but I was still just as frightened to get into trouble. (Though I maaaay have occasionally done something not so great anyways.) :laugh:

Wooden Spoon...

Juliet
2023-06-13, 15:11
More then once I had to go get my own switch

Zenobia
2023-06-15, 10:16
I presume it wasn't of the Nintendo variety! :laugh:

Juliet
2023-06-15, 15:04
nahhh, the kind where you have to travel behind the wood shed

Zenobia
2023-06-18, 09:31
I never had to travel behind the woodshed in my life. However when I was in elementary school my Grampie gave me one rollerskate, and he waited until I graded until he gave me the other one. :laugh:

My hubby used to have close encounters of the wooden spoon kind, as his parents didn't have a woodshed, hehe. :laugh:

Juliet
2023-06-18, 15:27
I kinda went often, there were so many of us growing up fights broke out weekly.

Zenobia
2023-06-19, 08:28
sibling rivalry...

I was an only child so I had to settle for getting into squabbles with neighborhood kids, lolz. :laugh:

Juliet
2023-06-19, 16:26
I learned how to pack a punch just as hard as my brothers.

Zenobia
2023-06-20, 03:31
I'm not sure what they were called, but I had an inflatable clown punching bag type of thing that I'd punch then it would pop back up again. A lot of fun as I recall, though I can just barely remember it.

Juliet
2023-06-20, 16:42
What is the name of the thing that hung down and you punched the heck out of it?

Zenobia
2023-06-22, 09:18
I can't remember. I was quite young when I had it, I think. It may have been something like these guys. :)
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/06/6f/2f/066f2fcdfded01688f4ef5279e0eda99.jpg
I'm not sure if it was the Bozo one, I think maybe it was a little different, I do think I remember the big clown nose, though.

Juliet
2023-06-22, 17:36
I had my sisters and brothers!
I got pretty good at self defense

Zenobia
2023-06-23, 04:26
I think my uncle taught me to punch properly. He had to re-teach me to make a fist because I used to put my thumb on the inside of the palm of my hand, and he had to show me to tuck it under my fingers. I used to find I punched harder with it under my other fingers, but he used to explain that I could break my thumb that way. I think I had the clown and he had a punching bag, lol. :laugh:

Juliet
2023-06-23, 15:19
LOL
When we fought, which was wrong I agree but, when you got that many kids it's going to happen.
You learned quick, if you don't use your fist or hands you look to see what you can grab and come up with it swinging.

Zenobia
2023-06-26, 05:19
Grasp...
I only did this a couple times, and I had to be really, really mad to do it, but a couple times I'd grab the person's hair and pull their head down, then flip them over with it. If somebody would have asked me to demonstrate I couldn't have to save my soul, because I had to be in a complete rage to do it. Nobody was ever badly hurt by it, and they always seemed completely surprised...one minute they'd be getting ready to deck me one, and the next, smoosh, on the ground they go. lol! :red: :laugh:

Juliet
2023-06-26, 15:50
My older sister got me bent over once, popped me right in the eye, I noticed an umbrella on the floor and come up swinging with it. Got her a good one across the head with it.
My eye felt funny, didn't know what it was so I looked in the mirror, it was swelling.
Was blackened by that afternoon and mother made me go to school everyday with a black eye cause she was mad.
Little did she know that walking in the hall in between classes, people would say 'Hey, what's the other guy look like?, turned out to be funny.

Zenobia
2023-06-28, 04:31
hehe!

Hey, that's no fair! Your Mom should have at least crazy glued the umbrella to your sister's head so she had to wear it to school, it's only fair to punish you both. :laugh:

Shiner...

Juliet
2023-06-28, 17:05

Zenobia
2023-07-01, 06:02
Ah, unfair but usually the favorites go Unpunished. :)

Juliet
2023-07-01, 16:17
I can agree with that.
Being the middle child of many, responsibility fell on me

Zenobia
2023-07-03, 08:29
I used to mind being an only child because the focus was always on me, I could never get lost in the crowd. :D:

I'll be back to play word link in a week or so, Juliet, I'm going away 'til then. :greeting: :)

There's one consolation when we make poor decisions...if we almost always made the right decision, we wouldn't know how to handle it when we finally made a bad decision. I'm well versed in handling bad decisions, hehe! :laugh:

Juliet
2023-07-20, 15:23
Some of those bad decisions can be life long

2023-07-23, 22:24
Yes, decisions that can't be changed are sometimes the most difficult to deal with.

Juliet
2023-07-29, 15:45
well,well, well, our air conditioning went out yesterday. Of course it has to hit record highs.
Repairman can't be here for a couple of days now......

Suffering

Zenobia
2023-08-01, 04:07
Now that's some extremely bad timing! We have an ancient window air conditioner that did some sort of really weird thing where it went through all it's numbers. It went from 00 up to 99, then ran through turning everything on, it changed Fahrenheit/Celsius several times, even set it's own Economy button. I wasn't sure if it needed a repairman or an exorcist to be honest. Then it just started working again. I don't know if it was a self-test, or what it was. But since it's working now I just left it alone(but I only have it on when I'm home and don't set a timer or anything, because that was weird.)

Misery...

Juliet
2023-08-01, 16:53
Could be the premonition of something about to go bonkers. Ours is fixed, felt sorry for the repairman working on it, humidity was so thick you could cut it with a knife......

Relief!

Zenobia
2023-08-02, 08:18
That's what I'm afraid of. It's ancient, but it really works for cooling. So far it's still kicking. Our heat wave died down some. I'm glad the repairman got your air conditioning fixed. :)

Cooling...

I went to bed last night, I think it was still at 87 F.
You get very accustomed to ceiling fans

Zenobia
2023-08-10, 05:18
Wow, that was still very warm for night. We had thunderstorms last night, which weren't so bad for the most part, but a couple claps of thunder were terrifying! It sounded like the ground shook, almost. :eek:

My ceiling fan is in dire need of a good dusting. I hardly ever use it, and I see some major dust-bunnies up there. :laugh:

Juliet
2023-08-10, 16:48
Turn the fan on and then you'll have floor bunnies!

I don't know if I could sleep with that since I kinda curl up in a ball

Zenobia
2023-08-22, 08:59
Yeah, the pillow cube probably wouldn't be too comfy that way.
I keep waking up at various weird times because I keep thinking I'm hearing somebody going "Pssst!" whisper-like in my face like somebody trying to get my attention. It's really creepy. I'm assuming it's a hypnopompic hallucination, which I've had happen a time or too. Who knows, maybe it's me making the sound and waking myself up. Always happens after my husband is gone, so it's not him. The sort of creepy part is it sounds sort of like him, though.

I never did get the hang of having a nap, really. I worry about it too much. "What if I sleep too long? Should I set an alarm? Why do I need a nap, anyways? I should do the dishes instead." and on and on it goes until I just get up. :laugh:

I'll study over something I need to do then have to PSYCH myself and get up to get started.

Me, too. I think I'm sometimes better off if I think less about what I'm going to do, and I just go do it. Then again, I probably came to that conclusion by waaaay overthinking it. :laugh:

Juliet

Here in the southern states where I live, some folks create white lightning/moonshine and if you should drink it you'll swear something like a lightning bolt just hit your body.

Zenobia
2023-09-04, 11:41
Oh, I remember the tv show Moonshiners on Discovery. I don't know if it's still on nowadays.
I was quite skeptical of the show...how could you be on tv making moonshine and not get arrested? :laugh:

Juliet
2023-09-04, 16:43
Yes!, and drink at your own risk......some call it rot gut for a reason.

I don't think they give their GPS location but just the name of their state.

Zenobia
2023-09-06, 07:34
That would explain it. I was always baffled by that one. :)
I remember one time I was a passenger with someone driving somewhere up towards a valley. We got into a place and didn't seem to be making any headway and I finally realized we had been making turns and going around in a circle...or more accurately in a sort of rectangle when I recognized the same houses and landmarks. We felt dumb, laughed it off, then were on our way. Then a few years later my husband was in there with someone who had GPS. Believe it or not, the GPS sent the driver around the exact same circle/rectangle that I'd been in before. I realized it from the description. :laugh::laugh:

Lost...

Juliet
2023-09-06, 20:50
LOL!

We found out after buying a property people would stop in the driveway and ask if they were in the right place. Turns out GPS showed and easement through the property as an additional route.
Don't know who entered those directions into whatever data base but it wasn't correct.

So I would say
No way Jose

Zenobia
2023-09-07, 05:35
lol, I bet that got tiresome. :laugh:

Not a chance.

This summer I went away on vacation and we were traveling on a road with no houses or discernible population whatsoever except for trees, when we suddenly came to a round about. In the middle of the woods! We burst out laughing, it was just so unexpected. :laugh:

I guess different cultures use a totally different line of phrases.

Y'all come back now, ya hear.

Zenobia

Here in the south where I live we say
Hey Y'all

Zenobia
2023-09-15, 06:23
One of my acquaintances used to say "Heeeeeeyyyyyyyy" whenever I saw her. I always used to chuckle.

Juliet
2023-09-15, 15:22
Reminds me of
y'all take your coat off and stay a while.

Zenobia
2023-09-16, 04:08
That reminds me of when guests used to come over to my relatives house I always used to hear "Come in, come in! No, no don't take your shoes off." It used to confuse me, because you'd think taking your shoes off would be more comfortable. :laugh:

Juliet
2023-09-21, 01:51
We had to because Momma didn't want a dirty floor.

Y'all eat more we have a plenty.

Zenobia
2023-09-21, 05:02
I used to hear "Pull up a chair." if anyone came during mealtime at my grandparents, and a plate full would materialize despite any protests. Sometimes I think they'd already eaten, and were politely forced to eat again. :laugh:

Juliet
2023-09-21, 15:03
We got dessert, y'all save room.

Zenobia
2023-09-22, 08:54
My great aunt sometimes used to bring trifle for dessert. It was delicious!
Though it is possible it just seemed really delicious because my other relatives always said she added a large amount of rum to it. :laugh:

Juliet
2023-09-22, 14:54
It's possible, my mother would soak her fruit cake in rum......always made my nose burn.

Zenobia
2023-09-23, 05:13
I don't think anyone ever made a fruit cake in my family. As I recall, it was always boughten and never eaten. It would just sit there. :laugh:

Juliet
2023-09-23, 16:28
I would eat a little bit of it if it had plenty pecans in it.

Zenobia
2023-09-24, 07:35
Pecans are yummy. And walnuts.

Juliet
2023-09-24, 15:50
Oh yeah, nothing beats a southern made pecan pie.

Here we have Black walnut trees that we've been told are worth quite a bit of money.

Zenobia
2023-09-26, 05:52
This is the first time I ever learned black walnut trees exist. I'd never heard of them before. From what I see on google, very pretty! And I also see the wood is indeed worth a lot. Learn something new everyday. :)

Juliet
2023-09-26, 16:18
My nephew started picking some up (walnuts) that had very recently fell from the trees, looked down and saw his hands had changed color.......
Evidently, the hulls can also be used to create stain?, took a few days to get that off or rather had to wear off.


exist <= extinction

Zenobia
2023-09-27, 12:29
I saw that when I googled. There was a picture of a woman with stained hands from the walnuts. It looked like it would take some effort to get off her hands. I also saw some black walnut floor pictures and the floor was gorgeous. :) It's cool you kept your black walnut trees, I bet they're so pretty.

Extinction event.

Juliet
2023-09-27, 16:15
event <= historical

Myself, I think the walnut trees grow way to tall and can be dangerous. We live in an area prone to tornadoes so you really don't want these massive trees close at all to your house.

Zenobia
2023-09-28, 08:11
Yes, that would be scary during a tornado. Pretty trees are great, but not when they're crashing through your roof.

You know, here in the south where I live we have a ton of blackberry bushes but, I have never liked the taste nor the seeds that come along with it.
I don't even like strawberries. If I were to eat a fruit pie or cobbler I'd go for Apple.

Zenobia
2023-10-03, 02:23
I love blackberries. I don't exactly dislike strawberries but I'd rather have raspberries. Apples are almost always good. I like the pink lady apples. :)

Ugh, that is THE worst. One of my friends has vertigo. I always thought that would be horrible being fine one minute, and dizzy the next. At least if you're drinking and your head starts spinning, it might catch you unawares like vertigo does, but you pretty much know why it's happening. When you get vertigo the first time, you don't know for sure if it is vertigo or something else.

Juliet

I don't like nightmares, but what used to bother me the most was sleep paralysis.

Juliet

sleep paralysis <== done this twice.
This is when I found out I had sleep apnea

Zenobia
2023-11-01, 03:44
I wonder if that might be why you had sleep paralysis? Maybe you woke up one of the times when you stopped breathing, but being still in a dream-like state you couldn't move.

Cpap Machine...

Juliet
2023-11-01, 14:57
I have no idea, and it really messed with me over what I thought I saw.
Have seen where some think it's a form of Narcolepsy

Zenobia
2023-11-02, 11:04
That is really interesting. I didn't know about that. I've had sleep problems most of my life. I'll have to look into that more sometime.
When I had sleep paralysis I had false awakenings to go with it. Multiple times in a row. While dreaming of getting up, then turning around and seeing myself sleeping. Then waking up, experiencing sleep paralysis, then going through the whole thing again. It was plenty icky.
Seeing things or hearing things when waking up or going to sleep oftentimes are hypnopompic or hypnagogic hallucinations. I've had them. Though that is not to say if something important to you was seen it was necessarily that. My husband thought his grandmother came to hug him one night while he was asleep. He screamed. I was up and went in and he told me about it. I kind of would like to think somehow it really was her saying hello, though a hallucination would be the more rational explanation(I really liked his grandmother). I think hallucinations might be one of the good explanations for when people think they're being operated on by aliens while they sleep and such.

Btw, I was once told a trick for sleep paralysis. I'll have to paraphrase a little since it's been years, but concentrate on wiggling your big toe. If you can get that moving you should snap out of it. That worked for me the last time I had sleep paralysis and I've never had it since. It's probably a placebo, but it worked like a charm for me. :)

(Wow, I didn't mean to type out war and peace! Wordiest post ever.) :laugh:

Juliet
2023-11-02, 14:14
I personally saw a demon and could not move and was able to have think process while this was going on.

Have you heard of night terrors?
I once worked with a lady who's son had them, bad. Felt really sorry for him and that he nearly had to be locked in his room and windows fixed to not open.
Some sleep disorders are devastating

Zenobia
2023-11-03, 05:50
Yikes. Seeing a demon and not being able to move is scary stuff. I was always scared I'd see something like that during sleep paralysis.

Poor guy. Nobody should have to go through night terrors.

Zenobia
2023-12-07, 05:37
I never thought of it that way before, but yes that is kind of creepy sounding when you think of it.
I joined instagram a while back to see what all the fuss was about, and I got banned a day or so later. I'm not sure why, I think I was supposed to post more than one picture or something though I could be mistaken, but my thoughts were I wanted to see Instagram and see if I like it, and then I'd post something if I felt like it. That didn't sit well with me. :)

Juliet
2023-12-07, 16:21
I can't imagine you being banned for anything?, you might want to check that out.
On the other hand, if I were to get banned, it's from running my mouth or you could call it a debate?

Zenobia

Actually, it's hard to picture you running your mouth because you're always so nice and polite.
