COLD DARK ROOM

Leave a tablet in one of the corners with a video of how to spin silk.

Feed her silk worms?
(if she exists).

Brilliant!

Cute little vampire! Didn’t know they could be kept as pets.

Ah, you changed your avatar!
It's good, but I preferred the last one, very artistic and made you look most mysterious.
This one is hard for me to make out.

I took a few pics at breakfast time because we had cloud cover.

Here’s my first RF Dusty I got as a hatchling from and old member who was a breeder about 6 yrs ago.

2nd RF Roxy I rescued from Petco! I watched him there for months eating fruit pebbles and badly pyramided.

3rd Sulcata Jackson I got as a small little guy. He is a good boy who is 40lbs now.

4th Desert tort Willow found next to our pool while bbqing. She was a tiny hatchling who I thought was a Sulcata until I picked her up. I found out 1yr later that our senior neighbors down the street have a pair of adults. So she either wondered off to our yard which is possible because I have found 2 other hatchlings in our road. One was squished and I buried it and the other my son found with his friend and we gave it back. We all live on 2 acre lots so it’s a long walk. Or a bird dropped her as a gift.

5th Desert tort Buddy who I just got from my sister last month. He is so sweet. It drives me crazy not knowing how old he is.

LOL! My associations with cricket are forever tied to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — Krikkit Wars [emoji85]

Originally a Doctor Who script!

Here's a better pic of me and Murphy.View attachment 245414

Which one is which, your Majesty?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You two look alike

SNAP ! ! ! !

Ever since the jaguar incident, my husband has been trying to convince me our cats are plotting against us! When one of them walks in the room he'll say, in a stage whisper, "Don't turn your back!!!"

Yeah, like they look soooooo dangerous!!!! (Monty is the grey one and Julio is ginger)

It's all comparative.
Put them in an enclosure with a dozen dozen mice and spiders.
Very interesting zoo story, Bea.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

What be yer stance my subjects?.........

Shall we invade and conquer the "Pretend Chat 2.14" and share the spoils?

Perhaps we should try something slightly smaller first, your Majesty.
Annex a new member's intro thread, perhaps?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

They do look ferocious!
The difference between dogs and cats is...

Dogs say: "This person feeds me they must be God"

Cats say: "This person feeds me I MUST BE GOD"

Tortoises say : "I get my food, who cares if i'm God or the person is?".

Heading to the beach with four 12yr girls!
Wish me luck in the car!
I’m bringing a book.

And a cattle prod.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

What is wrong with people today that they have to get their kicks starting fires!?

People think this is cool.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yayyyy, it is FRIDAY. Yip I said FRIDAY. Do I need to tell you it is FRIDAY!!!! I love my weekends, just such a pity that they are so short. I have spent the better part of my time on TFO today reading the earlier posts on the CDR. They were quite funny. Glad to see that some of you have been here more or less from the beginning. Sorry that some don't pop in anymore as they had quite the sense of humour. I MISS ADAM!!! ADDDDDAAAMMMM come back...... Cheese Cheese Cheese Cheese Cheese Cheese Cheese Cheese Cheese Cheese Cheese Cheese Cheese Cheese!!!!! Hopefully that should bring him back. Without him there is a dismal shortage of points.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Points will begin again shortly.
I'm almost back.

Good afternoon all.

It rained! Well just about. A little is better than none. We have had a light shower.

And afternoon tea, catered by our year 10 (15 year old) GCSE food and catering students was delicious. I particularly recommend the lemon meringue pie. Help yourselves!

I am just waiting for daughter to arrive so we can go to the cinema

Yuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But it seems to be all gone.
Think i'm a bit late.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

The catering looks wonderful!!
You have been so busy!!

We have drama with my daughter ‘s soccer coach.
I guess he has been yelling and talking down to the girls on the side lines and made a few cry after our tournament last weekend. We can’t hear what he says but the girls told us and the other teams coach heard him really putting down our girls. He is the one who called our league to report him.

Last night we had a Parent meeting with our director and he has had difficulties with this coach on the administrative side. We told him some of the things he said and the director was having a meeting with the board to decide if he will lose his job.
We as parents really like him but there does seem to be a Jekyll and Hyde thing going on because as we walk up after the games he is congratulating all the girls and telling us how proud he is but then a bunch of them are sad or crying.
As an example he said “you are a bunch of loser, now go get your 2nd place medals.” These are 11 & 12yr old girls.

We will find out today the outcome.

I said you should sack the coach!

Ah, Heather. Not EllieMay.
Is EllieMay a tortoise?

No sir... just a nick name I’ve had for as long as I can remember

Ah, a reference to the blond bombshell on The Beverly Hillbillies.
