  - I think you mentioned that in OK, not so many people have storm cellars. why is that? -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 17:36 5
    - I was just looking at an article, red clay of the area expands/contracts with moisture and frost, this causes typical basements to crack/leak....but - zeitgeist May 21, 18:31
    - "The relative dearth of storm cellars in Oklahoma may be partially attributed, as things so often can, to environmental factors." - JaxSean May 21, 18:25
    - Fast growing areas and cheap construction. -- nm - nevermind May 21, 17:38

    - They cost a lot of Bucks -- nm - Bacon May 21, 17:12 14
      - So does not using them. - nevermind May 21, 17:15 13

        whole=hole obvie -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:23

        I wouldn't fawn all over it though -- nm - Bacon May 21, 17:31
        
        Wow. -- nm - mara May 21, 17:22 6
        
        here's basically why it happens (inside) - CQ May 21, 17:29 5
        
        This is sad. I thought the cover would prevent that, but sounds like nothing other than a fence would. -- nm - mara May 21, 17:31 3
        
        We have a seriously huge amount of deer out here and pretty much everyone has a pool, so... -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:34 2
        
        And the fences have to be really high. -- nm - nevermind May 21, 17:35 1
        
        yep, usually 10 feet -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:37

- I had no idea this was a common problem. - loosi at home May 21, 17:00 9
  - It wasn't dead long enough for me to even think of wanting the skull. mushy dead waterlogged deer not fun -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:08 8
    - Ugh, how do you even dispose of something like that? I know fresh road-kill can be used by zoos and sanctuaries. -- nm - Meg May 21, 17:13 6
      - luckily, they lived in a very wooded area where we could wheel barrel it away to the very edge of the property -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:23 4
        
        go back in three months, then I want the skull. -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 17:35
        
        I had visions of you putting it in their trash dumpster :) -- nm - Meg May 21, 17:26 1
        
        *laughing* -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:30
        
        At the forest preserves around here they either give the bodies to a couple of local sanctuaries or drop them in little used areas of the forest prese - nevermind May 21, 17:24
      - When I was a kid we donated our old horse to the zoo. - Bacon May 21, 17:14

  - oh, wait, "upload" and not, like, transplant? so I'd live and there'd be a robot? oh, totally, as long as there'd be some control - I have chores - b. May 21, 16:48 6
    - Drop it, creep! -- nm - RoboBarnaby May 21, 16:49
