I can't sleep. It's 2:45a. I'm attending a road widening meeting this evening at 6p and I guess it must have me all worked up and nervous. I can't seem to get it off my mind and relax enough to go to sleep. So I thought I'd come take care of my moderator duties now then I'll have more time in the a.m. to tend to the animals.

The Engineer for the road widening project came to my house Friday and I think I was a perfect example of one who hears what he wants to hear. I could swear he told me my fence is ok and doesn't need to be moved, but I've given the drawing a good look and it's perfectly clear the R/W is 10' INSIDE my fence, which means the fence will have to be moved back 10'. I think what has me all worked up is - where will I put the animals? I can't move two over 200lb tortoises and there's no place to put several desert tortoises. So I'm going to have to ask them if it's possible to build the new fence before they take down the old one.

At any rate, I seem to be a nervous wreck.
I'm not surprised that you're worrying. You are probably going to have to be on at them constantly about this. My guess is that they'll agree and forget. Get the agreement in writing!

if an upside down cake is upside down...

is it the right or wrong way up??

hmmm
Neither - it's bottom's up!!!
Hmm

The right way up for an upside down cake is with the cooked top as it's underside.

So if it's upside down then the cooked top must be on top like when you get it out of the oven - the right way up when cooking and the wrong way up for serving.
Probably.
Possibly.
:confused:
Wibble!

This year (2017) they're scheduled to be handling all the eminent domain and construction won't start until 2018, so I'm worrying this early for nothing. A whole lot can happen by then. Is there a day for anxiety? I want all those points NOW!
I couldn't sleep last night either.
Too much on my mind, too.

1500 + posts? The hell you say I'll be catching up. Stopping by to say, " Howdy folks! Hope all is well with you, yours and your LOVED ones, (tortoises/turtles). See…?i know instinctively where they fit in the family order.
Oops. My bad. 1500+ posts NOT 15000 +.

According to the guys with all the initials after their names, (MD's & MD's and other MD's) I'm good to go! On the other hand, I remember things I'm not remembering, (if that makes sense) and I know I'm not 100% yet. Then the DR's tell me that I may not change. Yay!!!!! Right?

SO nerve wracking when outside agencies get involved! :(
Wishing you the best, Yvonne.

Good morning DCR,
ähhhh, CRD, ähhhh, yes now I got it CDR. I am so confused.

Last night I slept like a tiny cotton ball..... äh no.. it was a stone.. a big stone. I can`t remember so well.:eek: Sorry !:confused:
Want to tell you something... äähhm, what was it ? :confused: I forgot .... sorry.:confused:
Oh yes, I want to tell you that I slept like a mountain.:confused:
And now I feel the mountain lying on my head.... causing a lot of C O N F U S I O N in my brain.o_O Which brain ??? Ähhh.:confused:
Reading that @Momof4 spending her time working hard. Poor Kathy ! Hope you enjoy your work. Lovely pics of your torts, ähh, or was it your familiy shown on the pics ? I can`t remember.... torts-family, or work-holiday. That all confuses me too much.:confused:
Reading that @Tidgys Dad won the price of shyness .... Yes, that`s right. Such a shy person as Adam is the perfect winner for the price.:confused:
@Yvonne G: Poor Yvonne, I read that they will build a new highway directly in the middle of your house and planned to use your big torts for the underlay of the street. That`s animal abusing ! I am strictly against this ! Make a petition, I will sign in ! Or did I read something wrong in your post ? Conf....:confused:
And at last John ( @johnandjade) gets up when the stars are coming out in the morning and having a breakfast of baked milk and sausages in a cup. Yummy ! And for dessert he is going to bite in some dirty cars, or wasn`t it so ? I can`t rember. Conf...:confused:

But I have a nice song for you. See :))) it with your own ears , or .... äh .... I give up..... Conf....:confused: Brain, where have you gone ?????
