as a life long critter lover I have had cats nuzzle & kneed around my hair line - or should I say - try to do this. I stop it because I don't like it. many, many times I've let doggies eat out of my hand & have had them "steal" food too.

No, but my Dad had a seagull swoop in and steal his apple fritter right out of his hand. Scared the bejeepers out of him and gave us all a good belly-laugh!

Have you ever seen a ghost? Our son has been staying with us this past week helping while Boeing is on strike. I'm talking 52 year old skeptic who only believes what he sees with his own eyes. He saw our ghost. She went past him and through the wall. He says he just felt like wow that's amazing...not scared. My husband has seen a woman in a flowered dress looking through the window. I have always felt a welcome from the first time we saw this house but never actually seen her, just have small things missing or put somewhere else. I know who she is, an English couple built this house themselves and they put so much love into it. She died with alzheimers and then he had two heart attacks. It is too big a house for him to keep up himself and he was forced to sell it. When we signed the final papers I stood with him looking out at the ocean and he had tears in his eyes. He said he thought they would be here forever. Well it looks like she is!! Everyone says she was a darling person and well-liked by neighbors not an evil ghost thanks heavens.

No. But I do want to see one. I've always been curious to see. KTBB was going to take me to a haunted something or other a few years back but never had the $$$ to do it.

Yes, in a house that we had built. A little boy, about 9 yrs old, standing next to my bed looking down at me. For some reason I've always thought that he was Swiss by the way he was dressed. Also used to smell perfume (that no one in the house used) in the upstairs hallway. Also, my mother loved to bake when she was alive. When my dd was baking cookies for the first time in her new house, she turned around and there was my mother with her baking apron on watching over her!

No never have but I think my dad has watched over the kids. when 1st dd was born (preemie) at 3 months she had to be put on an apnea machine and various times I could hear the chimes in the babys room move. No windows open either. This happened with all three girls the chimes the odd time would go off for no particular reason. It was neat cause we could hear them on through baby monitor when we were in the living room downstairs. Once all of my 3 dd's were 2 or so, never heard them again. Also had a picture that always would go crooked on me no matter what I did. This was the first couple of years of marriage, blamed that on my dad. This happened for a couple of years only and then it stopped. I lost my dad within 6 months of my marriage, so that is why I think it was him.

Yes, about at least 10 years ago. While driving to work, I saw two hunters, with their backs to me, walking down the road about 1/8th of a mile in front of me. All of a sudden, 3 deer ran out of the woods. I slammed on the brakes just at the last one jumped, yes jumped, over the hood of my car! I had to chuckle though as the hunters were oblivious as to what had just taken place.

Oh my yes. One of its hooves grazed the side of my car as I swept past. Gotta tell ya, I almost died about a dozen times driving on Michigan roads in the winter. That was one of them. Okay, may I wouldn't have died, but that deer was pushing it. It was a big ole buck too.

yes, many times and have hit a few deer too. This time of year is bad for deer as the farmers are harvesting and driving the deer out into the open.

I haven't, but boy was there a surprise in the road . . . . I was driving in Iowa, kinda out in the country, and all of a sudden there was the back half of a deer in the road in front of me!!! Must have fallen of a hunter's truck?

One crossed closely in front of my car, but I saw it in time to slow down enough to avoid it. I did come horribly close to hitting a moose, though. I swerved into the breakdown lane to get past it and could have touched it if my window had been open.

I have seen them on the side of the road but never came close to hitting any. My brother hit a moose and totalled his car. The moosed walked back into the woods.

I've never hit a deer, but a deer ran out and hit me! Mangled the entire front end of the car.

This time of year is the mating season for white tail deer. The bucks are horney and wired like they've had too much caffeine. And the chase is on for a cooperative doe. Anyone who lives in an area that has deer should drive a bit slower in those areas and be more observant thru the first of the year. Let the bucks have a little fun LOL. And as stated above, they can do a lot of damage to your car and you'll have to go thru all that insurance stuff.......

I've come close, but a coworker hit two deer in three days the same fall that my mom had THREE car/deer accidents. Michigan's deer season isn't all about the hunters, let me tell ya!

Ha! Just tonight a deer ran in front of the car as I drove home and then a raccoon. Once daylight savings time ends, and I start driving home in the dark, I have to be careful. Here's a tip -- if you miss one deer, keep your foot on the brake. Especially in spring, they travel in pairs.
