I get up at 4:00. Never got used to that. It is depressing...and so quiet. Always want to lay back down and doze. No wonder I fall asleep at traffic lights coming home.
I usually can't sleep after 12:00. Just start drifting off at about 3:00...an I gotta get up! I once worked at a place from 12:00 to 8:00 a.m. I never could figure out why humans had to go against their nature and do such a thing. I found it so wrong. This world is sooo wierd! I'll never figure it out. Don't want to! We should have a mass sleep out. I'd love that. You wouldn't see me for a good while....at least from 3:00 to 8:00...Ha! m.b.

I woke because I thought I heard a fox barking and I had my balcony door open so I got up, closed, and locked it so the fox couldn't find me and get in :-) It was an eerie sound, kind of like a howl but not wolfish or doggish so who knows what it was? I got irrationally scared though. I really don't like the middle of the night. If it is earlier than 1:30-2:00 or gets to be 5:30 or so I can deal with it.

I'm near a nature preserve and on the water and have seen foxes on the shoreline when out boating. But, we're on the "civilized" shore with townhouses, etc. and they'd have to swim across (albeit not undoable/too far) to get over here and for what? (we do have lots of rabbits and nesting ducks, Canada geese, etc. including in our yards) But then, that he'd want to/be able to climb onto my balcony LOL and then, I have a special, neat lock on the door so it can be locked "open" but it's only 1-2 inches! Not like he could squeeze through. I just assume it was a fox, it was the middle of the night, what do you want from me :-) My husband and I go camping a lot and he saw a fox once camping and I just couldn't think what else the "howl" could be; definately was a mammal rather than bird or something. But it spooked me and I knew if I didn't close the door completely and lock it and put down the blinds all the way, I'd keep watching the "crack" and waiting for a snout to be snuffling and for a "musky" odor, all night :-) I was even afraid to go downstairs, you know how they stand on their hind legs and try all the doors to get in, LOL. Maybe you can see why I never watch "horror" shows or mysteries?

We don't even have snakes here, albeit the odd dead one found by Customs. We have umm, 1-2 types of poisonous spider, but neither are fatal as far as I know. Umm ... having said that, there's a lot of sheep and I just saw a black comedy / horror where they all went mad and started eating people cos someone tried to genetically engineer a new breed :> I don't know of any attacking sheep IRL yet though ... Other than that I can't think of any dangerous species. An angry wild boar maybe. All ours are locked up in the zoo, how dull and boring ...

I don't sleep very much either and always find myself awake at 3-4-5 in the morning even after taking sleeping pills. I know that a long time ago in this forum someone asked about make up tricks. I realize this is a late post on the subject but my trick is to use a cream blush, you dab it on with your fingers, then put a little powder over it, then sweep a little more on over top with a brush. with that technique it stays on all day and blush makes you look healthy and like you've had a full night of sleep, I hope this is helpful to someone!

I only wear it when I am going out for a BIG dressed up night, but I guess mixed with some moisturiser it could assist with the i-look-like-death-warmed-up look, which is hardly attractive at the best of times ... thankies :> |

Colorado. I like coyotes as well. In the winter here they have such thick coats they look like wolves.

Btw pat when I finally live somewhere other than an apartment, I am having a pitbull or a pitty crossed with a lab like my sister's. I don't like small dogs :> |

We have cows coughing in the field next door, it's really annoying, I think they need some cough medicine!

On my list of 'things to do in lifetime' is a safari type thing in Africa or South Africa ...
Not a camping for months type one or anything, but ... it would be amazing

coyotes are my very favorite animals...... anytime i get to see or hear one i get a thrill. such bright, clever, tough little creatures. we had them back in ny too but they were alot bigger. i live on the front range so no elk or moose here but i've seen them in the mtns..... the bugling of the elk is such an amazing sound. oh, and i've seen pronghorn too, up north.... beautiful....
my brother saw a cougar once while he was hiking..... i wish i had been there for that one. dsf i agree with you.... i think an african safari would be so amazing.
