hello for ND and intro

Just stopped by for a hello. Haven't realy ever slept much and ATS/BTS is my new ocd.
Married mom of three teenagers that will all be graduating in the next few years.
Bought my first mysteries and monster book over 25 years ago at a yard sale. (I was pretty young, 10 cents, I earned myself) And have always been interested in unusual.
Was convinced I saw a bigfoot on my senior hs trip, it turned out to be a moose with lots of moss on it's antlers. Realy close to "buck fevor" if any hunters know what I mean about sticks and stones looking like "the one".
Have worked for game and fish off and on for years and have watched public perception of big cats been proven time and time again.
Will share my face to face interview with a 100 lb 2year old male mountain lion in the future. I can honestly say I know why photos can be unclear and shakey, or how people do not even take photos in a time of stress.
Got to watch and document the growth of both bald eagles and mountain lions in ND for the last 10 years. Consider it an honor if not almost spiritual.
I also have an unrealistic (not sure if that is the word) fear of ufo/grey/aliens. To the tune that I can't even watch the movie et. Shakey, sweaty, puking type of phobia. ewww I know. I have never claimed/believed to have been abducted or in contact.
Talk to you all soon.

Enjoy roaming around our wild places.

PS, I used to live in SD, so I know how hard it is too pass long winter nights. This is a great place for that. Wish I had it back then.

And a BIG welcome to you

Enjoy your stay here!

welcome. i did a little hunting back some 28 years ago. i will never hunt again excepting for food. i too love nature and it is spiritual. i can hardly wait to hear your encounter. i've had some pretty awesome experiences at 584 Harper Valley w/a "gathering" in the night sky which i attributed to Project Blue Beam but i also believe other life exist.

3 teenages, huh? been there done that.

Hi Skipp!

As a few others have said already...I have weird hours too, so you'll see me on the boards at different times as well.

Your avatar is mesmorising - an optical illusion eh? Cool!

I look forward to your next posts.

See ya soon!

Hi Skipp,

Welcome to ATS...

Though I have seen you out and about on the boards.

Seem to post on the same threads.

Have fun, probably will see ya again.

Take care,

JQ.

Thanks for the great welcomes guys! I think this is going to be a fun ride.

I'm baaaack . It's been a crazy four or five years since I have had the time to visit,read and explore. Seems like back then we were talking about mass shootings, mars images, overuse of antibiotics and shots. I'll play some catch up and see what is new.
