In addition, do you know that most North American wolves contain some level of Coyote DNA? Also, how do you feel about Coyotes?

Why do you feel defective?



I dont know I’ve never seen one but I’ve seen domestic wolfs as a kid. I like foxes. They like half dog half cats. They so cute and playful. I believe foxes mate for life too. Loyal animals.

What do you like about wolves and coyotes? Is your picture a coyote?

Because as good as I've become at passing and faking being a standard issue human, I'm still absolutely garbage at people, and I still can't decide if I want to be close to anyone or if it's not even worth it. I'm too old for this crap.




That's really cool The closest I've come to that was a 3/4 hybrid of a friend's that we took care of for a little while. She was so beautiful and such a sweetheart.
Foxes are adorable.

I like that wolves function on (in my opinion) a superior level to humans within their packs. Their systems make a lot of sense and it's beautiful how much they care about each other. Plus, they're flippin gorgeous, regal and strong. They're very adaptable and intelligent.
I like coyotes because I identify with them so much its kind of embarrassing. All efforts to exterminate them fail, they're not afraid but they're not foolish. The mythology of "trickster" and having equal parts wisdom and mischief is sooooooo delightful. They look otherworldly, magical, and mysterious. I can stare at them for much longer than I look at anything else, which is saying a lot because I zone out on plants for so long I've thrown people off because they aren't sure if I started again or I was doing it the whole time. I love that their gait is irregular, and somehow rhythmical within it's arrhythmic movements. They're clever, so clever they predict human behavior in a significant amount of time prior to the actions whether individual or collective. They can all look the same but also very different if you're familiar. They can exist within their unique group or they can strike out alone and be just fine. They're frequently misunderstood and are often looked at with a negative perspective. ...aaaand I'm gonna cut myself off before I get stuck infodumping...

OH, yeah. My avatar is a young coyote. Although it's possible that it's a coywolf or a coydog; it's ears aren't the typical size and they're positioned a little differently that they should be for a Coyote. It's face doesn't look sufficiently elongated either, but its just a photo so I can't really say for sure.

What about you? What do you like about wolves?

The next time you visit a coin shop (or coin show), look into the "junk" silver coins that they have on hand to sell. Many places will let you pick through them at a certain value times the face value. Back in the late 1980s when silver was about $4-5 per oz., I could pick up older silver dimes for about 5X face value. Now, it will likely be 15X or higher (about $1.50+ per coin). But, be knowledgeable about what coins to look for before attempting to pick out the good ones (also called cherrypicking). Over the years, I finished two winged liberty "Mercury" dime sets this way and never paid more than $3 for any of them, including the rare 1916-D coins (poor grades, but real ones). It does not cost a fortune to get good at coin collecting, you just have to be knowledgeable about the material and have an eye for the right coins when they come up for sale. I tended to also buy any pre-civil war silver that happened to be in the "junk" boxes. You just never know what may show up there. I picked up a rough 1820s bust half dollar pocket piece that way, paying a grand total of $3 for it at the time.

There are ways to pick up real Roman coins on a small budget. One way is to pick up ones that were discovered in a hoard and have yet to be cleaned/identified. You get the chance to do the hard (but fun) part. There were many large hoards of coins set aside back then and they are constantly being unearthed as we speak. The finders do not have the time to clean/sort them all, so they sell them in bulk to dealers. I had a friend in grad school who bought Roman hoard coins off of ebay often. He lucked out by finding a real gold one in his pile because it was caked with dirt to the point that it looked like a bronze one. He had a trick of soaking each coin with olive oil for a month before attempting to clean off the caked on dirt. I will admit that Roman coins are kinda out of my area of collecting, but I have picked up a few of them when I bought out other coin collections.

Whatever area of coin collecting that you decide to go into, one key thing is to become an expert on the information about those coins. That was one of the things that attracted me to coin collecting, the constant need for knowledge. It will help you out the most, even more than having money itself. Because of the internet, you no longer have to buy this information if you search hard enough for it. Good luck on coin collecting and PM me if you ever have any questions about it.

... Uhm, so... I just realized that maybe you thought my avatar was a wolf because you've never seen a coyote.

I really do suck at talking to people. The Wernicke's Area of my brain is operated by stoners, I just know it. *sigh* I'm gonna take my very embarrassed self and go shove my face in a book and hope (futilely) that I'll forget yet another in the long list of my inability to comprehend context and conversational flow.

I did think it was a wolf, I hadn’t connected your username to have coyote in it lol.

Wernicke?
Why are you embarrassed? You didn’t do anything wrong.

LCK you have nothing to fear from us, we won't bite. and the ones that do bite don't matter.

I appear normal until people talk to me a lot or spend enough time around me.

Foxes are super adorable. Have you seen the YouTube videos on them?
I relate so much to foxes. They naive, playful, loyal, shy etc.

Animals are a lot better towards each other then humans are with other humans,

What’s gait?

My mom likes wolves. They’re pretty but not as cute as foxes. I wouldn’t want one. Like dogs they’d probably lick me but unlike dogs they could attack me more likely. They fun to watch one YouTube or tv.

It's one of a triad of areas in the brain that deals in communication and speech. It's the part most largely responsible for comprehension and production, both written and verbal.

I'm always embarrassed when I make an "elementary" grade error in communication. Probably because it frustrates me to the point of feeling helpless, because I try so hard to learn the rules and operations of human to human interaction and I invariably end up missing some simple key concept. And probably also because I've been made fun of and teased pretty heavily (questioning my intelligence or mental soundness, mimicking, etc) my entire life for not being able to comprehend traditional/conventional conversational context and flow. I usually fake a laugh and pretend it was joke. But that's kind of hard to do in written communications.

Thanks. That's very kind of you.

^^^ prego at least in this thread, we all have something in common.

Yeah. Me too. People I've known for years (one in particular, 9 years) have said that I hide it well and they'd never have known. But anyone that hangs around for too significant a chunk of time slowly gets uncomfortable and they come up with reasons they have to go and I never hear from them again, basically.




I have! I love the noises they make! Sooooo cuuuuuute. And the way they jump and play. You hardly ever see them here, you see Coyotes more, but the ones here are pretty big and while they're not really friendly they're chill enough to just hang out in your yard as long as you leave them alone.




The way they walk, the manner or method of it. People tend to say they "walk funny".




I know a couple people who really like wolves. I'm really not afraid of wild animals. They don't scare me. I've never been attacked by one, but I've been around them quite often for most of my life. I'm far more wary and suspicious of people than I am animals. I was only ever bit once, and it was my Grandfather's dog. He didn't like that I was crawling behind him so he bit me in the face. I was told I shouldn't have been crawling behind the dog, to shut up and stop crying, and they put a band-aid on it. My Mom was the only one that even looked at me to see that it was soaked with blood, so she took the band-aid off from under my eye and rushed me to the hospital. I had to have 7 stitches. I don't know why the dog bit me, I wasn't even close enough to touch him and I was just crawling. .... I have no idea why I just wrote all that.

I still think that's probably one of the funniest coincidences in language. "Prego". You're welcome. You're pregnant.

I thought that it was "preggo" or two g's to indicate gestation. the single g prego is also fair pasta sauce

That's true, it is 2 Gs, but when you say it out loud there's no Gs involved, and it's pronunciation is so close I find it entertaining and funny.
Blasphemous words to my Husband's family. lol (they're Italian, they call Prego and Ragu "ketchup") I'm partial to Mezzetta. Mmmmmmmm. Now I want pasta.

I miss pasta [gluten avoidance]
the difference is [in my rudimentary Italian] the pasta sauce is PrRrRrEhgoh [gotta trill that R] whereas the pregnant preggo sounds like my cousin Vinnie in Philly.
