What is one thing you want to do before you die?

[Shabby Chic-Hens]

I'm back, to tell not even nearly all the animals i want before i die!! But here's some

LGD (Large Guard dogs) peferably great pyreness!
Pigs, more pigs, different breeds of pigs!
Sheep... I already have 50, but why not more?! I want more breeds, I want all the breeds!!
COOOOWS
Goats!! Who doesn't love goats?
Reindeer, why? I don't know

Chickens, ducks and geese. I already have all of the above, but I need more breeds (I just got 2 embden geese for free, that's a new breed for me!)
Camels... Again, I can't explain myself
Alpacas and llamas, I want a section on my farms that's just sheep, goats, alpacas and llamas. That'd be fluff heaven!
Pheasants, all of them. HAND THEM OVER
Swans... oh my goodness... SWANS!! I want some black ones, why?... Well....
Moving on!
Horses, but I have 20 atm and I think that's enough for a while...
Peacocks, i just cant explain why!
Guinea fowl... i want all fowl that exsists
Elk
Capybara
Donkeys

There's so much more that I can't remember! My brain goes dead while writing this. Maybe i'll make my own thread talking to myself abt what animals i want and the plans for them etc

And before I die, I want my college degree, university degree, I want to get that avian vet job, or any vet!! I want to be a wild bird rehabber, along with a farm sanctuary!

I used all my brain cells for this

you should get some of the Navaho Churro sheep. I did a whole page and 1/4 report about them. Any sheep likert (I'm still having trouble with these keyboards ) should knowe about them. They are so COOL! The churro sheep have long wool, and two sets of horns. Unlike most other breeds, they have less lanolin in their coats, so are heat and drought tolerant in the southwest deserts of the USA. The Churro sheep were almost brought to extintion twice, once when the Navaho were taken off their native land, and again in the 1930's when the dust bowl came around. In the 1970's there were estimated 450 of these sheep left. now there are about 6000 in the USA. If you do not know about these sheep, that is your homework for tonight
There's your history lesson for the week... or month... or day

I'd like to go to a different country. Like maybe Ireland or Switzerland. And try surfing .

surfing sounds fun!

Actually finish and have at least one book published

Ditto. I did finish a book, no agents were interested, and now the tech in it is outdated. So I should write another book! On my list.

Places to go: Unlike hubby, travel doesn't excite me that much. I like staying home.

Hot air balloon ride, though, oh absolutely!

I'm jealous!! Jesus christ I hate living in sweden

Sweden! You would be shocked to know how many American citizens would leave this country because of what the government is doing. So, Sweden can look pretty good to us! The grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence…

Are you an author?

I stopped dreaming years ago..since it will never happen for me. Seems silly to dream of the future when I have none.

You should just see the electricity bills here in sweden!

They are pretty nasty here, too. And the government pushes increased dependency on the electric grid , which is a monopoly… and the grid keeps going down …brown-outs in the cities…

Amazon offers self-publishing. What kind of book did you author?

There’s a song out there with the line “dreamin’ is free” by Blondie. Dreaming about doing something (ya gotta be specific) is taking the first step in the direction of fulfilling the dream! And it’s never too late to dream.

Since several of these posts refer to travel, let me share this quote, attributed to Mark Twain; part of it is used to close episodes of Rick Steves' Europe:

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

I wholeheartedly agree!

The key word is “vegetating”.
