Someone I would willingly hug

[Mups]

The Cardio Dr who just yesterday discovered the reason I was feeling so ill. Landed back in hospital yesterday in an almost collapsed state, turns out the medication I was on for my heart was slowly poisoning me. After blood tests and an ECG and a shed load of questions he discovered the digoxen was slowly poisoning me. I threw the remaining stuff out, takes 8 to 10 daysvto leave the system
That man literally saved my life.

My goodness Raven!   That it dreadful.   I thought you were doing so well, too.
Thank goodness this was discovered in time,  and I hope you start to feel much better very soon.

David Attenborough. ( after the man from the lottery )

I feel quite previleged to have lived at the same time as David Attenborough ( who will turn 100 next year )

What an amazing man .

I have always liked and respected that man Muddy,  but lately I have been turning his programmes off.
The reason for this is,  there seems to be an abundance of nothing but blood thirsty kills taking up too much of the programmes now.  

 Yes, I know that's how wild animals live,  but when nearly the whole programme is taken up with nothing but animals ripping each other apart,   I have to turn off.   
And something that really irritates me even more,  is the way the kills are made more exciting by that awful excited orchestra which gets louder and louder as the terrified creature's demise approaches.   Why does an orchestra suddenly have to burst in??

I am interested in all aspects of animals lives,  not just someone filming terrified animals in their final minutes.

To be honest Mups I don't watch much tV now but I know what you mean I hate those scenes too .

Animals are almost all either predators or prey. Nature programs content are frequently largely procreation or predation.

It's quite remarkable to think there are organisations you've never heard of that take an interest in planning especially if they come out on your side.

Yes,  but  I don't like it when almost the entire programme is bloodshed and killing.    It's over done.
These animals must sleep,  go walk abouts,  play with their youngsters - or each other -  they don't only only kill.    We don't need close-ups of terrified critters having mouthfuls of its body torn off either.

I might also cope with this a bit better if they didn't have that bloomin'  orchestra playing loud music to accompany the kill too!    I don't know of any orchestras in desserts,   do you?  It's so unreal.

I too admire the man but can't watch the gore

Someone else I would hug is Neil Diamond.    I have loved him for about 50 years. 

But seriously,  I would love to hug my old Dad and my  Grandad again. 
Plus all the beloved, precious dogs I have lost over the years . . .

 I've always been a hugger.

Me too
