Today's Question(s): (This underline is for you rainroosty )
Have you ever kept animals other than those thought of as pets (cows, bees, etc.)? We have had a couple of cockatoos and kept hundreds of cocktails for a friend while going thru quarantine.
Had a desert tortoise that showed up and stick around for awhile.
A few abandoned barn owl babies until the fledged and flew off.
Kids had some lizards and snakes for awhile.
If so, which animals have you kept? OOOps, see above.
Did you enjoy them, or were they more trouble than they were worth? While they first were around, but after awhile with work and other issues some of them became a PITA.
If you did not keep any non-pet animals, which would you *like* to keep? The Super Chief would like a mountain lion or bobcat. Her parents had a ocelot for a pet when I first met her.

I can look at a partially constructed, 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle from several feet away, zero in on one piece off in the jumble to the side, and put it where it needs to go.
Bonus Question: Have you ever had a chance encounter with well-known people? That sounds so naughty. Alas, no.
I met a woman last week who lives on an organic farm where she grows vegetables, and raises some small livestock, not too far from my house. She inspired the following questions.

Today's Question(s): (This underline is for you rainroosty ) Have you ever kept animals other than those thought of as pets (cows, bees, etc.)? One time when I was a kid.
If so, which animals have you kept? A rooster, I named him Rusty...lol. My dad and I built a chicken wire pen for him. A short while later we left the house for a few hours and some animal had broken into the pen and Rusty was gone. We lived out on the edge of a smal town and there were plenty of coyotes in the area so they probably took him.
Did you enjoy them, or were they more trouble than they were worth? More trouble than he was worth...lol.

I can't think of any.
Bonus Question: Have you ever had a chance encounter with well-known people?
One time I was in a department store at a mall here in Texas and I saw the legendary tennis champion Martina Navratilova. At first I didn't recognize her but when I walked closer to her and said "hi, how are you?" she smiled and said "just fine how are you doing?" When I saw her face up close and heard her voice I knew for sure it was her. I wanted to talk to her some more but she was shopping so I didn't bother her any further. One time in Las Vegas I got on the elevator in a hotel and the singer Tom Jones stepped off the elevator just as I was getting on. It hapened very quickly so I didn't say anything to him. When I was a kid my family and I were in a hotel lobby in Oklahoma City and we saw the actor Billy Dee Williams (he had recently starred in the Star Wars movies Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi). He was checking into the hotel and seemed to be quite busy so we didn't bother him. Finally, one time the country music star Garth Brooks came here to Abilene to perform at a local country and western music club. This was before he was famous so nobody knew who he was. I saw him offstage briefly between music sets and he was very friendly to everybody. Even though he was nearby, I didn't talk to him since I was busy dancing with some women at the club . I wish I had at least shook his hand because two years later he was the most famous person in C&W music...lol.

Today's Question(s): (This underline is for you rainroosty )
Have you ever kept animals other than those thought of as pets (cows, bees, etc.)? NoDH was a kid who was always stealing baby animals and raising them...owl, fox, raccoon, geese, goats. His mother was a saint (a lot like myself).
If so, which animals have you kept?
Did you enjoy them, or were they more trouble than they were worth?
If you did not keep any non-pet animals, which would you *like* to keep? I've always wanted to have a few chickens for eggs, but I could never kill any animal I "knew" for food. We used to live in the country, but now my chance is gone.
Just for Fun:
What silly little talent do you have that sets you apart from others? I can chat up anybody. DH says I could have dinner with Queen Elizabeth, or a bunch of hookers, and by the end would be fast friends with either of them.
Bonus Question:
Have you ever had a chance encounter with well-known people? John Candy in the Toronto Airport. Also, we went into the back door of the Bellagio at the same time as Charles Barkley, so he held the door for us. He is very big and handsome.

Bonus Question:
Have you ever had a chance encounter with well-known people? - Well.. some well-known people from City Data.. Actually, as far as chance encounters are concerned, I remember seeing Charles Bronson, or somebody that looked exactly like him, at a grocery store near Beverly Hills, California, this was in the late 1970s while I was visiting out there.
