When I was 14 my Uncle to my cousins and me Duck hunting. I'm a city boy through and through and had never used a shotgun. It was a long day and only saw two ducks and they were too far away.

Well driving back we see some geese in a pond on the side of the road. We sneak up on them, they take flight and I pop one of them. As I'm going to retrieve it a car is heading down the road toward us (it's illegal to hunt next to the road here). My uncle yells get in the car and I hope in back with my goose.

He speeds out of there and I'm sitting there with this goose on my lap when all of a sudden the goose lifts his head and quacks at me. I'm FREAKED out, this goose I just killed is staring me in the eye and quaking !!!!

My uncle says ring it's neck, I asked how and he told me to turn it's head. So I start turning... and turning.. and turning 7 or 8 times. When I let go it's head spins all the way back around, looks me in the eye again and QUACKS !!! I'm screaming, my cousins are screaming so my uncle finally pulls over and rings the damn goose.

That ended my hunting days !!!

Tragically funny Wharf!! LMAO!! I grew up around guns, I remember my first (and last) hunting kill was a squirrel, I was 10 years old. I was all excited...until it fell out of the tree and I had to go pick it up. I cried and cried, and I've never hunted again.

Oh no Salem!!! I hope you don't lose power. I swear Hurricane Sandy did a number on me as far as power outages go. No fun!!!

I will send up some prayers that you stay safe and warm. ;)

Thanks, Tracy! All is well so far :) I had no power or clean running water for a month after hurricane hugo not to mention that 1/2 of our house was destroyed. I don't worry much about losing power for just a few days anymore lol

It got to a whopping 24* here today.....We got sleet...we got snow....we got freezing rain...Me thinks that's whatcha' call a wintery mix...That's not what I call it.....

Power we got...Thankful I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Neice had a 101* temp....Doc says it's the flu....Rutt Rohh Shaggy...I don't need that...Lets hope the pg killed the flu nasties.....Just got off the phone with my Sister...She was looking on the Tami Flu and it stated if you're in contact with someone with the flu it reduces getting the flu by 90% The doc wouldn't prescribe Tami Flu for her nor her husband...Just come back if you get it....He's got a vested interest...

Now a little something I've been pondering...The Animal Welfare lady I only know from liking her FB page...While on the phone she made mention her husband had told her they should keep my house and give one of theirs to the needy lady...It was everything her husband and I could do to get that house into his truck....it barely fit in a full size bed...They didn't seem real keen on the idea of me going along to unload the house...Just seemed a little fishy...Due to this I declined talking with them about receiving free product from Nutro...I'm gonna check into this a little further first.
