Are you calling me obsessive? LOL! It's a bit of a love/hate situation, this writing business. Trust me, if I were to post everything I've written people would be overwhelmed and wouldn't know where to start... tree sounds like a safer bet than pretending you're dead... good call! :)

Didn't Yogi Bear do anything for honey? Or was that Winnie The Pooh. Your way is much funnier and it definitely works with Koalas.-Red

Haha... I enjoyed your creative comment! I never thought of koalas in this fashion before!

Too funny! Actually just standing and gaping works well too. I tried that once.

There seems to be more than one "genius" survival techniques to be used to outwit the bear... sound advice... ha ha ha.

I think I will do the running thing, or at least try punching him in the nose.

Oh...read a story about bear mauling in Reader's Digest (Fav magazine) that haunts me yet. Good write, my dear. Would be good to know where that piece of advice came from. ;) I DO know one thing....If anyone messes with my 18 year old gorgeous cub...he better pretend he's dead cause I'll rip him apart limb by limb! ;) Yea...she does call me Mama Bear for a reason...and you thought it's because I'm cuddly! ;)

Feisty, aren't ya? Lol! I'll make sure to stay a safe hundred feet distance away from you when that happens! (this poem should have been about you... ha ha).
