Four am is

i saw a badger about a year ago. boy, that was a thrill. he was "undulating" across the road.......groovy little booger. his movement was what alerted me to him being different.

i'd love to see a wolverine. i don't think they are as bad as made out to be. just like wolves. i saw a timberwolf, on my ranch, walk through a herd of momma cows and calves and he didn't even look at them. and they didn't act scared of him at all.

the only snake that i will kill, unprovoked, is a water moccasin.

speaking of coyotes, i've got a ton of sterling silver jewelry made by a man named Kit Carson, Santa Fe, that my ex had him make for me. i have a beautiful belt buckle with a coyote running, in relief, on it. and pins and earrings, etc.

Absolutely. I am afraid I would need one that caters to my need of a shower daily though. I could push it out to every second day perhaps ... hehe.

Nah I'd do whatever it would be one of those experiences of a lifetime

That's kinda cool. I like seeing the little penguins crossing the road. When I lived in Wellington (our capital city) you just had to drive out round the Bays to see 'penguins crossing' signs and see the lil cuties if you were REALLY lucky ... adorable ...

I live in Alberta, Canada and we have moose, elk, coyotes and all that. I have an elk farm and a bison farm too. they are both really amazing animals

Can I ask why one 'farms' them?

There are quite a few alpaca farms springing up round here. Their wool is great ... I plan to knit another alpaca-wool scarf for this winter :> It is yummy.

I hear ya...I do the slep depravtion thing and after a few days it begins to take it's toll mentally. Try to get a good long night of rest...like 12 or 13 hours so your mind can catch up on itself. I hope you feel better soon.

I would kill for 12 hours of sleep ... but does it not make your sleeping patterns worse again?

I don't know if it's better to aim for a solid 12 hours when I finally get tired enough, or what.

I don't have any sleeping pills and I don't really want any ... I would rather sort out sleep by myself or with something natural ...

I understand what you're going through. GRRRRRRRR!!!!!
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
It's really frustrating. It seems the more you want to sleep, the more difficult it is to achieve because you start feeling the pressure to get some sleep and then it makes you mad because why the freak can't I just sleep god darn it! And soon you're tossing and turning but it's a hopeless cause so you go to the kitchen to eat and it makes you feel fat. You may go back to bed and you may get about a half hour of sleep, maybe even an hour but then you wake up because you have to go to the bathroom because of the freaking snack you had. At this point you're like "forget it" it's become way too frustrating just to get some shut eye and you lie there and think about how badly it sucks not being able to sleep and all of the things in your life that's going wrong until you have to "wake up". Then you're in this really crappy mood and you're jumping down everybody's throats because you feel like a psycho zombie and you're in a really bad way for the rest of the day and you go to bed that night praying "please, tonight, just let me get 6 straight hours of sleep, pleeeeeeeease." Yeah, I understand what you're going through.
I'm sorry you're going through it too.

Well nowadays, they aren't worth anything but elk antlers are very high in testosterone they are used in many forms as a testosterone supplement.
I am really not sure why we have the buffalo farm, but they are amazing animals and their meat is excellent. It has a little more flavor than beef and is more tender and has lower fat content.

I also used to have an alpaca farm and I had alpaca socks for the winter, I love their wool!!

Ahhh deer velvet type stuff ...

Mmmm alpacas

i hope you get a better nights sleep soon, again last night i was awake at 3.30am but forced myself to stay in bed and to go back to sleep, but at 5.30am i awoke from a nightmare looked at the clock and somehow convinced myself it was 6.30 and it wasnt worth going back to sleep so i got up and played on the comp for a bit,

Oh yuck I bet you feel shattered today :/

it was a long day as we had some running around to do and by 11.30 i was ready to go to sleep, and you think being tierd would help but no i was up again at 3.30am this morningand again at 4.30am, so when my alarm went of i crawled out of bed a bit grumpy, but as soon as i have driven the children to school i am going back to bed for a bit, which should help

I hope so honey, not fun at all.

Tired does not equal sleeping well, I so wish it did

So it's 1.30pm and I am gonna fall asleep at my desk grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Worked till midnight ish, fell asleep woke up at 4 till about 5.30 am.

Woke up again and had to do work stuff before work anyway so just didn't bother trying for another half hour.

I feel like a zombie *cries*.

:x

I need more hints ... a cup of tea got me back to sleep but I still shouldn't have woken up

and can't freaking type.

(((((((((((((((((((((Sunflower)))))))))))))))))

ty wantsto, i keep hoping one night i will be tired enough to just stay asleep?

if you do that, tell the rest of us how it works........ we all want a part of it!!!
