I think I would want to pet him/her.

Samantha was my soulmate, just as Zum Zum was yours. She was my best friend growing up, too. She was with me 20 years. My soulmate boy cat was Peter, who was with me eighteen years.

I think Barney Miller is definitely a classic show. I liked watching it, too, even though police programs weren't my favorite genre. I liked medically oriented shows.

I used to like "Medical Center" and "Emergency."

I would loved to have watched "Ben Casey" as an adult. It was an excellent show which dealt with many issues. Very intelligently written. I was too young to appreciate it, though. I was afraid of the introduction when the guy said "man," "women," etc.

I became a little obsessed with "Ben Casey" for a while a few years ago.

Do you like more recent medical shows, or the old ones?

Yeah I have done all my life, but it hasn't done any real farming for a long time. It was always really hard living on the farm because I was so OCD about dirt and during wet weather you always got dirty clothes and feet :oops: I always hated that.

My parents ran the farm for a long time, I'm not sure how many years it was but to look at it now you can see it hasn't 'farmed' for decades. The old farmhouse I grew up in is very tottery and now unsafe to live in, behind it are the old stables and in the farmyard is where they kept the cows and also a few stone buildings which I think supplies and such were kept in. I'll have to get some pictures for you :)

The farm was making good money but I can't remember what year now (I'll have to ask my parents) but there was a breakout of Foot and Mouth disease and I think in less than a week or two it destoryed the dairy side of the farm because all the cows were destroyed :( Afterward the barns and sheds were cleaned down several times and then new animals were brought in, but not as many as before, I don't think it ever got back to the way it was before.

The only animals on the farm now are horses. My parents buy them in young, usually ones that were mistreated, and clean them up and turn them in to really well loved horses and then they sell them on to someone who will look after them. It's a sort of retired job now as they're both retired.

I love horses. They are one of my favourite animals :heart:


Please do, I would love to see pics of it if you can find any! :)

I do remember hearing about an outbreak of foot and mouth in UK a while back. A lot of cattle was destroyed at the time and we saw pyres on the news. I don't remember when that was, and of course I don't know if it was the outbreak where your family lost its livestock. I found it upsetting (to put it mildly) that so many healthy animals were killed to make sure to stop it. I'm sorry your family, farm and animals had to endure that. :(

Your parents' retirement job sounds absolutely amazing! :heart: I would love to do something like that!

My favorite animals are turtles (all turtles, including tortoises and terrapins), dogs and wolves. I've had 2 turtles and 2 dogs.

I forgot to say so earlier, but I do live in a country where we have a (too) small wolf population (Norway) but I have never seen or heard a wild wolf.

I'll have a look on my laptop for you tonight :) I've taken lots already this year, back when we had loads of snow so that was very beautiful. I love snow.

It was very upsetting for my family, especially as like you said even the healthy ones were killed to stop it from spreading. I think the farm was isolated for a while as well, no one was allowed to come to it.
Hearing about it upset me a lot as well. Poor animals :heart:

So would I! They really enjoy it, especially my dad. He loves old fashioned stuff, older music, the oldness of the farm... And of course the horses.

My brother owned a tortoise growing up :) He is animal crazy and adores nearly all animals.
You're very lucky having so many lovely animals :heart: I bet your turtles and tortoises are super cute :heart:

I've never seen or heard a wild wolf either. I'm not sure what I would do if I saw one, probably scream I expect :wink: When I'm feeling a bit more confident I'll have to go somewhere where I can see a wolf, I'll be able to take some pictures for you.

Do you think more people will come to the site and utilize WP?

It's hard to say. I've seen a lot of new people join and I'm pretty new as well, so maybe.

What do you think?

Hopefully, yes since I've been part of WP for 11 years now off & on.


Are there places of nature in your area?

There are more "places of nature" in NYC than what one might think.

Do you like old-time architecture, or modern architecture?

I'm torn between, though there are some great architectural designs from ancient times to 17-1900's as well, there are modern structures both commercial and private that are quite nice.Honestly, I'd rather have a hybrid of both incorporating beautiful design along with cost effectiveness, but also be energy & environmentally sound, which I'm sure is possible somehow.




Would you want to be on an advisory committee

It depends on what the committee is for; most of the time, though, I find being on committees to be boring and overly political.

Would you enjoy going on a fact-finding mission?

Sure, cause, I feel it's best to always know all that can be known without the barriers of myth or superstition getting in the way.



Do you feel, humanity will ever learn to make progress towards a greater capacity of existence amongst everyone here on Earth, or are we just going to go the way of the dinosaurs and wind up becoming the victims of our own desires and choice or some other outcome?

Definitely the former. We've had MANY opportunities to become extinct.

Do you believe all optimists look at things through rose-colored glasses?

Probably the latter sadly.

Who is your favourite celebrity ever?

I'll go with Cate Blanchett, since she has done many different roles..


Anyone ever said, you resemble a celebrity by chance?

People used to think I look like Robin Williams.

Recently, somebody did a double-take---then realized that Robin Williams is no longer with us.


Are you impressed that the Egyptians built all those pyramids without the aid of the wheel?
