[TEXT] 002: is this Gemütlichkeit [un: kaiserschmarrn]

Greetings. I will keep this short, with two inquiries.

1. For those of you saddled with deer features every month, do your antlers fall off at the end, or do they just disappear? If they fall off, what do you do with them?

2. Would anyone be interested in antler-themed home decor? I've noticed that rustic sort of look is rather fashionable now. I have one set in my own apartment balcony garden for climbing plants, but I could also offer:

-centerpieces
-tie or coat racks
-wall hangings
-candelabras
-wine bottle stoppers
-jewelry

If anyone is interested or wants to request another use, please contact me to discuss pricing, dependent upon size and time taken to sand and apply sealant. With holidays approaching in the next few months I think perhaps they would add a nice, cozy touch to the home for happy gatherings.

Thank you and good day.

That’s entirely true. I’m not sure why it’s striking me as stranger when someone willingly gives them away than when they’re taken from hunted animals, even if it’s definitely the kinder practice. I suppose it’s just that it’s unfamiliar.

Perhaps it is in my best interest to consider myself "self-domesticated." I believe a sheep that cannot help the fact that it was born bred for wool is grateful to be shorn provided it's done with care. Have you ever seen an escaped unshorn sheep? Harrowing.

For that matter I'm grateful I haven't had to deal with antler velvet. Yet. I should not "jinx" anything, as they say. What a mess that would be to deal with.
