It’s that time again. I am really enjoying the Share Your World prompts, if you like what you see here, why not hop over to Cee’s Photography to see how to participate yourself? Here are this week’s questions:
Regarding animals would you prefer not having them around or having domestics pets, farm animals, or seeing them in nature or the zoo?
I have always loved having a dog around the house & I think some people really like having cats although I’m allergic. I am absolutely against people keeping animals like monkeys or large cat (lion/tiger/bobcat) babies.
I’m not crazy about zoos because I don’t think they look after the animals well enough. The zoo experience seems to be designed as much for the convenience of the keepers as it is for the welfare of the animals. If zoos were more like safari parks where the animals had lots of room to roam & be themselves I could live with it because often zoos are the only ways of bringing back some of the most endangered species. This is also the only way some people would ever get to see live animals of different species.
Absolutely against circuses – do not care for how they treat their animals. Animals were never meant to be a source of entertainment for humans.
Are you a collector of anything?
I have collected decorative elephants or unicorns as well as bells. I have wooden elephants, glass elephants, marble elephants, crystal unicorns & glass unicorns. I have glass bells, china bells, brass bells & silver bells. I don’t have large numbers of any of these items, but I enjoy having them around me.
If you could know the answer to any question, besides “What is the meaning of life?”, what would it be?
Will The Doctor ever stop travelling?
If you were to treat yourself to the “finer things” what would you treat yourself to?
English Cadbury chocolate – it is so much richer than Canadian or American chocolate.
That’s it for this week. Did any of my answers surprise you? Or did you guess what I was going to say?

I like the question you would ask.
Actual Cadbury chocolate is getting harder and harder to find over here 😐

You’re in the US, right? We still have Cadbury chocolate in Canada in great abundance since it is very popular, but it’s nothing like English Cadbury! Too die for!

Yep. There is a convenience store near me that has some of the English Cadbury products. Then we also have World Market, but that’s on a crowded shopping-heavy side of town and they cost more too.

Oh I am so totally with you on the chocolate thing! I also found that Australian chocolate ( must be the English influence) was far better than American chocolate. Yum. And now I know more about you and will think of you when I see an elephant! I know someone else who collects them. 🙂 Sorry I have been awol from reading and commenting on your blog lately—-am trying to get back into the groove but it is sporadic at best. Still love what you write—-will catch up some year!

Benze, I feel exactly the way you do regarding animals. Amen!
“English Cadbury chocolate – it is so much richer than Canadian or American chocolate.”
Well, as a big time chocolate lover, I agree. What I really love about Cadbury chocolate is that it’s so smooth. It doesn’t have that ‘gritty’ feel that other chocolates do.
Have a super weekend, my friend!

Wow, you really are a collector! I have also collected post cards – I should have put this in the post! Whenever someone goes somewhere I ask them to bring me back a blank post card – it’s interesting to see what they think I would want & I get to see the scenery like I went there myself!
