This time of the year it’s playing hide and seed with the deer. Except I hide silently freezing my rear off while they run around making all sorts of noise just far enough away and in the cover of the trees that I can’t tag them.2

^ that is a clutch response. But, you have to come over for some deer tenderloin Marsala sometime. Soooooo, good.3

Talented! I love the tiger especially but they're all really nice.

I tried Bambi once. And I remember it being tasty. I also tried some kind of bird(partridge maybe?). But it's just not the same as buying meat in a styrofoam package. We were treated for a couple years by the neighbor's son hanging his kills in their tree. Mostly deer but one year he got a boar. It was challenging keeping the daycare kids away from gawking out the windows.
Maybe you can round everybody up in that old rusty pick-up of yours, we'll all bring a roll of toilet paper as a house-warming gift, and you can make dinner. I'd really love to meet your dogs; they look so sweet!2 -
^ it's a date then! We'll all get together for a cookout when the pool is open and the pond is warm enough for dipping.2

Does eating large quantities of sushi and sushi related items count as a hobby or ... nah?

Oh, H E double hockeysticks yeah!
I love me some rolls and nigiri.
Ika, tako, kura, albacore, unagi...
There is only one thing I miss by living in the country and that is fresh sushi and sashimi.0 -

I see you are somewhat adventurous in your meat choices. Not many would eat squid or octopus unless it was deep fried first.
I like most forms, but can definitely say that natto (fermented soybeans) and nasubi (pickled eggplant) are two I do not care to repeat. They are definitely an acquired taste. All others are delicious. 2 -

Wow, so many things I've never tried.
I've definitely lived the sheltered life. 1 -

Natto is definitely an acquired taste. The only thing that ruins it for me is the texture which is weird since I’m able to eat almost anything with a similar texture. Flavor wise adding a little soy sauce helped me tolerate it longer.1 -
I like to putter, especially in the mornings before anyone else is up. With my bikes, with my fish tank, with my watches, whatever.
I also like watching/observing things, especially nature. I'm a curious person by nature, and observing things is a great way to learn and often helps me stay grounded.
Putter! I love that 0 -

To be fair, I lived in Japan for three years. Natto and nasubi were common there, but I have only, to date, seen ONE place that offers natto in the U.S. (and that's here in MS, oddly) and no place that offers nasubi. The squid (ika), BBQ eel (unagi) and urchin (uni) can be found at most sushi dives in the U.S. now. I used to be strictly an "unagi" and "roll" type person, but as I've gotten older, I guess my tastes have changed and I'm able to eat things I probably would have (rudely) gagged on before (raw tuna comes to mind).
If you're ever in a sushi joint and feeling adventurous, give one of them a try sometime. 0 -

For me, it was the smell. It is my husband's favorite sashimi choice, though.

^ very good explanation @KosmosKitten. I only visited Japan and wasn't there long unfortunately. I'm jealous of you.
It's hard to find a good sushi place. Where I was at, Fujia House was clutch. It was the best in area IMHO.
Any of yous around Quantico, I'd highly recommend heading down and checking them out. Superb. I had their old and new menu with everything I ate there noted with what i liked and disliked about it. It's packed away but there is only one thing I gave a semi-down arrow to.1 -
Charcandrick West Autograph. Nice looking card.

My problem is if I don't have success past a certain point I give up too easily. I should remember we don't have to seek perfection, just enjoyment, out of hobbies. 
All your hobbies are interesting; keep at it!
I've delved into genealogy awhile back and found it to obsess me but I loved doing it. I really need to get back there and find more information. Any suggestions of sites to search? I've looked on many so get a lot of emails. One I get is from Familysearch(I believe that's the Mormon site?) which has been helpful a bit BUT, for instance, my SIL does research there and adds things such as foster families(not biological info that I'm looking for) and it messes me up. Is having a good DNA test worth it and put you in touch with others that potentially are part of your family tree? I took a cheapie and it was disappointing; it didn't give any info that helped.
Sorry for all the ???

If you do the dna tests that include your dna matches, it does help a lot, especially if you can access the family trees! I think it depends on where the families are from, though. I haven't been able to find much in Ireland because there's too many people in my family with the same names. My dad is supposedly 90% Irish! What really helps me, for finding my mom's American anscestors, is researching the PLACES and events because people married into the same families a lot, within their area, in the 1700s and 1800s and usually moved because of some event or new type of job. I like the findagrave website, but I've done most research at the library looking up documents and stuff. It does get addictive because I keep finding new pieces to the puzzle.
Thanks!!
Think I'm going to invest in a more expensive dna test because I'm pretty sure my test didn't include dna matches and see what it comes up with. My tree gets complicated because my mom was adopted in the 20's and everything was sealed or hushed up back then. I've also found a lot of misspellings in names. 2 -
