I love rabbits.
Millipedes can be kind of annoying with that mildly toxic irritating residue they leave behind. Anyone ever go camping and wake up with a red itchy trail weaving across your face? Millipede path. Fun times.
And this would be why I do not go camping. GROSS.

If you wake up with a millipede trail across your face, you're not doing camping right.

I'm grateful that I've only seen cockroaches at the zoo when I was younger. I'm also grateful that I don't live in Florida and don't go camping.
I used to see flying stag beetles here a lot when I was younger but I read their numbers are declining. They used to scare me, I remember I was going to a club on a summer's evening and saw one flying down the road at me and I had to duck down to stop it from hitting me. My Mum got one tangled in her hair once. *Shudder*

^ I don't know what they are?! But we do get dune/June bugs here in the summer...they're bloody horrible massive things that fly really fast & aimlessly, bashing into things. I think they sting too.
Cockroaches are disgusting looking but not scary. We once saw one that had been cut in half run off in two different directions.

I have pet cockroaches. Also I had a pet millipede once, which I brought home from the woods - the kind that leaves a trail of stuff.
Am I doing something right, or very wrong...?

Good! It's one of my favorite threads and is much to lighthearted most of the time for serious debate.
But it's funny that this thread seemed to play a role in the rules and separation of the debate forum, then got itself kicked out.
My UO is that I don't like campfires. I'm pretty much cool with our wood stove, because it's not (generally) smoky or filthy, but campfires are not the fun part of camping in my book.
I just don't see the appeal.

Classic distopian novels such as 1984, Animal Farm and Brave New World, etc should be required reading for all high school students.
Certainly they are more meaningful and relevant in today's world than Anna Karannina or Shakespeare, which I was required to read.

They were required when I was in high school. Not Anna Karenina though, but I read more Shakespeare than I cared to. **** Shakespeare.

Back in my day, we read Shakespeare, some of the Russian novels, and the dystopian novels. And a bunch of other stuff; I was shocked at how few books were assigned to my kids in high school. We read and wrote papers on a book a week, unless it was super long, then we got 2 weeks. Plus we read books for other classes, like biographies for history, etc.

I read 1984 when I was about 13, but that was just my choice for my own home-time reading....I'm glad I wasn't forced to read it.
I must have read it in about 1983...
I read it for the first time in 1984. I took it as a sign/omen.

Animal Farm turned my son vegetarian; he read it when he was little.
