Yes and I missed you.

Anything new happening?
It's good to hear Bertha's doing better

In 2003 Cruithne, with its horseshoe orbit was recognized as a moon.
in 2004 three more moons were introduced, 2000PH5, 2000WN10 and 2002AA29 were all acknowledged as moons.
They have all since been declassified as moons and are now quasi-satellites, because their orbits are not dependent on the Earth, or affected by it and vice versa.

So... one moon?

Quite right.
The Neanderthal didn't, or very much in the way of art except for a little bit of jewellery, it was possibly partly our greater imaginations that favoured us over them.

Nothing new. That's a good thing and Bertha is just a regular old tortoise now!
Thanks.
How are the water turtle and lizard projects?

That's totally cheating. You're only supposed to look at your picture when the confirmation thread is posted.

At the moment.......yes!

All posts get points depending on how amusing, interesting or silly they are.
Bonus points are awarded for mentions of things i like, such as cheese.
There are questions which score points for funny answers more than for correct ones.
Minus points sometimes occur, for mentioning processed or aerosol cheese for example or answering a question with an obvious, but actually incorrect answer.Or if your name is jaizei/Cameron or similar.
No one knows exactly how it works.....
........including me...

Excellent explanation. Although, I am suddenly imagining you as "Wallace" from "Wallace and Gromit."

How many points do you need to win a game of table tennis ?

How are the water turtle and lizard projects?

Good to hear
Pretty good. I haven't made much progress on the big turtle pond because the stock tank buys me time, but I've got a pretty nice layout going on. I'm planning with pond liner.
The little turtles have actually stayed out a bit this summer to catch some real sun, just in tubs. I bought a bit of java fern to try in their tank, and it lasted about a day. Next time I think I'll let it grow in a different tub of water to the bricks and THEN introduce it!
Not too much going on with the tortoises this year. Elmo got a small outdoor revamp, but that's it.
Mr Maxamillion is settling great, hopefully will be taking him on his first walk today.
Planning either a vivarium made out of old windows for him or 75g tank like the little turtles.

Hello good people!
How are all of you doing?

Today, my 80 year old father was gifted a car. I am so bothered by this it is not even funny! In June, he got into a car accident and totaled his car, the accident was caused by him and he is still in denial about that.... We decided he will no longer be driving, he decided this with me. Now, he's tired of not having his freedom anymore and just doesn't care. I'm scared and worried and I don't know how to stop this or if I can even stop this. What would you all do?
*Sigh*

All sounds terrific, except for the poor Java fern.

A good plan, yes, but how many in total.

Oh he knows its out of care and concern, and he doesn't care. He wants what he wants and it is what it is! AHHH!
He also thinks new tags don't cost a thing...
I'm having a hard time with him aging. Its painful to see my dad so fragile... I'm sorry guys, I'm all in my feelers today.
