When animals attack, was watching I Was Prey again

snowy @snowy22315 (206998) • United States 11h

So, I saw the show a few days ago, and one of the episodes featured a woman who had been attacked by a coyote. Coyote attacks on people are quite rare, but they do happen. This one was relentless, and she was lucky to get out of...

Anna A walking stick is surely better than nothing, I wonder if a pepper spray would help. I think it may be useful.

Wheee! It rained last night!

The Horse @TheHorse (237457) • Walnut Creek, California 11h

I did not hear anything, so it must have been a light rain. My balcony plants look quite happy. How is the weather where you live? Is Summer/Winter announcing that it will arrive soon? We are only about six weeks away from the...

Death Doula

Amber @AmbiePam (118663) • United States 12h

Have you ever heard of a death doula? I think I had, but until my cousin (pictured) announced she was close to getting certified, I didn’t really look into it. This cousin is the youngest daughter of my late awful, terrible uncle....

Anna I fully agree with @xFiacre. When it's my time to leave this material world I do not want any sort of help. I only want not to suffer.

Last Night's Eats

Jim Bauer @porwest (111927) • United States 14h

I know, I know, when I tell you that braised pork steak was for dinner last night, even though I have been gone from here a couple of months, everyone will be highly shocked. What? Pork steak? You'd never! But that was...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (379186) • Rockingham, Australia 17h

Anna That is what I have always been told in Florida, crocodiles and alligators do not attack humans unless they feel threatened. I imagine I could learn to swim if a crocodile was behind me.

I am going to be using bee venom on myself

snowy @snowy22315 (206998) • United States 4 May

Pack Rat.

rakski @rakski (153123) • Philippines 4 May
