I'm so glad to hear from you. You missed the latest round of the Zombie game but we're hoping/begging Moon to start it back up for Halloween. Other than that, people signed up, people closed their accounts. Archie's going to be messing around with his washing machine. We want video after his dryer escapade from a couple of years ago. And my kids are asking for a pet. They prefer kittens or puppies.

LOL I couldn't even remember my ID on here! Oh Archie please please please upload videos of the washer adventure. It's good to be back! I was starting to get crazy when it came to life and money. I need to be reminded to be somewhat jaded. But the craziest thing happened to me earlier this year, I realized that I was still alive and it was just my husband who'd died. And I could actually still live and have a life. So I made sure we had a life. I used money to give us some memories! It's been fucking awesome! LOL But now, I need to be reminded that I will be eating road kill in retirement.

BTW roadkill is probably cheaper than cat food unless you factor in gas money for tracking down the RK

Well I'm not the one to be smacking anyone about retirement. I'm the "set and forget" poster girl.
ETA - and good for you on making memories. That's important.

Good to see you back. We missed ya!

**OT** Yes, I am from MO and my dad eats roadkill He saw a person hit a deer with their car and stopped to make sure the person was ok. Then he asked the highway patrol for a tag for the deer and took it home. My mom was FURIOUS! But dad enjoyed it

Used to do the same thing in northern NH where I came from. If the person who hit the deer or moose didn't want it, they'd call someone who did, be it a hunter or someone who would take it to a food bank.

In Utah, they have a government worker who cruises the highways picking up the road kill. I am sure a zoo gets it. Or the animal vault at the .

Sorry about the death of your husband. It's a tough road.
A friend many years ago a friend was having a hard time with her DHs passing and was still going downhill two years later. Then DH came to her in a dream and told her that HE died, she didn't. This was enough to start her up-hill journey.
Tuck the memories in your heart so you can get to them when needed. You go girl.

I don't know any disposal details though.

I believe in Wisconsin, in the more rural areas, they're just dragging it further off the road. The main thing is to get it off of the road.

Here in CA it is illegal to drag home roadkill. You can be prosecuted for poaching.

Here in CA it is illegal to drag home roadkill. You can be prosecuted for poaching. That might be true here too. But there is a way to get tags for a deer, if you hit one and kill it. But you have to move fast. I think there's a very short window between being allowed to get the tags and getting a ticket. It's not something I've ever looked up, in all honesty. This is all 2nd and 3rd hand for Wisconsin.

You can tag roadkill in MN. If you call a cop when you hit one he'll ask you if you want it. If you do, he'll tag it there. I don't even think you have to pay for the tag. If not they'll drag it into the ditch. Yes. I've had roadkill deer. It depends on how it was hit if it's worth taking. One you broadsided or that went for a big tumble down the road is probably no good anymore. Roadkill around here doesn't last long. There are so many coyotes, eagles and even cougars now that usually even a deer is gone within a few days.
