I was entranced. My name's Kendall and I have been with my partner for going on ten years. We have two kids and it was nice reading your blog about being in a normal relationship and raising kids. My e-mail is outloudfeminist@yahoo.com. I would love to get to know y'all better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36308462.post-90243157080104491452007-10-27T19:52:00.000-05:002007-10-27T19:52:00.000-05:00Oddly, I like skulls and skeletons, but not taxide...Oddly, I like skulls and skeletons, but not taxidermied critters. There's a beautiful, majestic moose head hanging in the employee stairwell at our main office and you have to pass it four times a day to get to the time clock. It just makes me sad.<BR/><BR/>My cousin is a hunter and has lots and lots of taxidermied animals in his house. Most of them are the obligatory deer and antelope heads, a couple of bighorn sheep, etc. But a few years ago he shot a black bear and a mountain lion on his property and had them both mounted whole. The bear is standing on his hind legs and the mountain lion is posed on a large slab of rock in a predatory pose. Dogs hit the floor and whine when they go in his house. <BR/><BR/>Skeletons are far enough removed from the live creature that I don't really picture them fluffy and alive.Kwachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947544432313181778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36308462.post-64822045999858103752007-10-26T14:32:00.000-05:002007-10-26T14:32:00.000-05:00My family liked to hunt.

Every house in our neighborhood seemed to have something dead and stuffed hanging on the wall, our house was no exception. <BR/><BR/>One of my cousins took this little hunting and trophy gathering, what I thought at the time, a gruesome step further. He collected animal skeletons, especially the skulls.<BR/><BR/>He use to keep his little collection in the garage nice displayed on shelves. He use to place dried flowers in the eye sockets, and decorate them for holidays. <BR/><BR/>My father thought it was really strange, but I guess it is no stranger than living in a house with 5 deer heads in the family room staring at you while you watched TV.Cedarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084468926734824846noreply@blogger.com
