Have you ever paid a price for procrastinating? Many times. I'm a world-class procrastinator.
What happened because you procrastinated? Most often it's that I've let store coupons expire and missed the chance to use them.

If yes, before the service did you give any thought to what you might be expected to say, sing, wear or do? Yes, I attended a Catholic Sunday mass with friends the morning after a slumber party. This was when masses were still in Latin. I was actually terrified because I didn't have any idea how to behave and was afraid that I would do something wrong.
Have you ever attended any type of funeral service for a person who was murdered?
Did you know the deceased, personally or was it the kind the whole community shows up for? No, although a former friend of mine was murdered by her husband along with their two teenage daughters. The husband then killed himself. The story made national news. I didn't go to the memorial because I hadn't been in touch with this friend for many years, and I didn't know any of her family or friends. I learned about her death in a newspaper article.
Have you ever attended any type of funeral service for a person or persons who died due to a weather-related (examples: lightning, earthquake, flooding, tornado, hurricane, etc.) incident? No, that's never happened.

deer <<< sadly they made my yards their home
alligators. <<< yes, Louisiana swamp
coyotes <<< also my yards
bears <<< in Colorado Smoky Mountains
vultures <<< l hear them often walking on my roof in San Antonio
wolves <<< in California. It was looking right into my eyes. Thankfully he wasn't hungry or decided that my meat doesn't look tasty.
For the ones you answered “yes” to, do you know what to do if you should come in contact with them when you are not in a vehicle or building?
If you knew what to do, how did you know?
Deer is harmless, alligators - don't go near water. Coyotes - they rarely attack people. Handle like wolves, dogs - with thick wooden stick. Bears - play dead, fart if you can for the stink Vultures aren't interested in humans alive. Wolves can be dangerous, especially hungry. Try a stick, scream, use rocks, try to intimate.
Have you seen this video? It’s only 50 seconds long. News stations in Australia even picked it up. What did you think after seeing it?
Lol... l posted the same on Nature Forum.
I thought the deer will be injured, but I was happy to see that it was not.
It was a very impressive jump, though!

### Deers run away. A black bear was snorting and foraging about 200 feet +/- from me while I was out on my deck and totally ignored me. I was near the back door and quietly scooted inside the house. Coyotes I see mostly on the IRing camera at night. Vultures just fly off when anyone comes near.
