Yes, they are very sweet, gentle creatures. They do, however, have very exotic sex lives. The female praying mantis eats her mate, after he has finished having sex with her! Ouch!  Sounds, to me, like a very convincing reason for being gay, if you happen to be a male praying mantis!

The female EATS the male?

Yeah, I'm surprised ALL the males aren't gay. I wonder why she does that? Talk about a heinous bitch!  >:(

Well, that's one way to make certain it would never happen. Actually, I think it is a very clever idea Isabelle!  :D

I work with a woman who has bitten my head  off on a number of occasions. To date, however, she's stopped short of consuming me outright, thank goodness! I wouldn't put it past her, though!   :laugh:

She's a scary lady. She spent her childhood in Spokane, Washington!

She has shown me photos of Spokane and it looks like a pretty place. Famous for its cherries and as the birth place of Bing Crosby (if I remember correctly).

With her, though, it's a case of "their gain is our loss"!   :laugh:

Kerry, I laughed out loud when I read your Spokane bit.  I worked with a lady for many years who is from there, and she's one of the biggest bad-asses I've ever known.

6. Ever slept on the ground beside a campfire? Yes, on the beach, and I hope to do it again.

1. Do you have a low startle point?  Yes, but I like a hightened state of awareness!

2. Are you as bad as Jack is at cooking?  I was never taught how and was scared of it for a long time. But I'm finally getting better! People seem to like my food!

3. Ever shot an elk or other animal?  No.

4. Was your dad right?  Most of the time. (He was a professor; not much for teaching everyday practical stuff, but would talk on and on and on and on about more esoteric shite...)

5. Ever drunk whiskey straight out of the bottle?  Yes — it's the only hard liquor that tastes good by itself, IMO.

6. Ever slept on the ground beside a campfire?  Don't remember. But I'm so entranced by them that I'll sit + stare for several hours straight in a state of total hypnosis.

7. Ever lived in an apartment above a laundromat (or other retail establishment)?  Nope

8. Are you as good a horseback rider as Lureen -- or can you stay on the horse, anyway?  Can stay on — that's about it.

9. Do you know someone named Jack?  My earliest memories involve a man named Jack, another professor + good friend of my parents. He had a great dry wit, & loved my dad's homebrew. I literally remember climbing out of my crib and going to the den where they were sipping it. One time my folks had a backyard party, with the kind of cheese that comes in the red wax. He took some wax, molded it into a tiny doll shape, and gave it to me.

10. Ever contacted a romantic partner via postcard?  Yeah, hopefully those are all thrown out by now! ::) 

11. Do you ever bring home freshly caught fish?  Never been able to catch any! But I LOVE fresh fish!!

12. Are you worse than Bobby when it comes to losing stuff?  Used to be. Gotten better though.

13. Ever socialized with the fire-and-brimstone crowd?  Yeah I used to — a LOT. I lived in the deep south and was like a fire-and-brimstone crowd magnet! (I was like, WTF — is everyone in the world this way?)

14. Would somebody looking around your home comment that you need more furniture?  No

15.. Do you watch TV during dinner?  Try not to. I think it's a bad habit; I like to fully experience food!

16. Ever used an electric knife?  Hell no. ("Clumsy as I am, prolly get electrocuted...")

17. Do you remember (or know) how it is, being broke all the time?  Regrettably, yeah.

18. Did your mother keep your bedroom the way it was when you were a kid?  She did, out of sheer inertia — now it's set up for grandkids!

20. Have you ever scattered someone's ashes?  No. My family basically has no concern whatsoever with remains — they figure if they're dead, they're dead...   :P
