1,500 smuggled turtles found alive in abandoned luggage at Manila airport.

Just saw this morning. How awful. Hope all torts were found and treated quickly enough...

Thank you! A very important public health message. Hope everyone can read by the light of the jellyfish.

One good thing (or two) about “Island Life”.

The UK only has four i think indigenous snake species, and of these only one poisinous. US has a few more. Luckily, ive never been bitten by a venomous snake or a rabid coon or dog. An owl, yes, but thats a different story.

Aha! So that’s how you became an absolute hoot? [emoji85][emoji23]

Anyone else post things to Craigs List? We seem to have an eclectic bunch of things to share with others...

A few of my current items

Love the top chest particularly. The flag looks vaguely familiar.

Are you selling these things or did you buy them?

On Sunday, I posted five stone eggs for sale (in time for Easter). They were super cheap, so somebody wrote to me right away and we set a pickup time. A couple of hours later I get another message — from the mayor of our town! Turns out she wants them too...

I had to politely turn her down. Could be a mortal offense in some countries and at least a personal grudge for life in Turkey. Denmark is a weird place. [emoji85][emoji23]

You hate speaking on the phone? ME TOO!!! We have so much in common!

I want to be your neighbor!!

 

[Kristoff]

That is so awesome!!
She looks so cute sitting there at the piano!

She looks beautiful!

Thank you [emoji4]

I had a pregnant racoon decimate my box turtles a couple years ago. I trapped her and my neighbor relocated her out further into the country. I lost 6 nice box turtles to her that year.

Awful

Way back when I used to do tortoise rescue ( ) I used to put up ads looking for good homes for my tortoises. Yesterday I read an ad for a designer dog. They wanted $600 for a jack russell/boxer MIX.

That was hilarious! [emoji23]

 

[Kristoff]

I hate that the called them turtles [emoji35]. Can’t help but wonder if the person wouldn’t have chicken out and claimed his luggage, would he have skated right through with them? What a horrible trip for all of those guys!!!

There were torts and turtles. The BBC explained the difference but didn’t really say how they all are doing and whether they all survived being wrapped in duct tape in the luggage...

 

[Kristoff]

You are worse then AZtort mom...

The jury is still out... [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I haven't been able to find the instructions. To upload to this site. Do I send it email? Because I don't do Facebook. I can text pictures to my friends and family.

Do you use the website or the mobile version?

 

[Kristoff]

I definitely think that all of you will appreciate this.View attachment 266480

I also loved the cartoon Noel posted with the Snow White. A great potential enclosure — or an aquarium. Imagine your guests seeing it in your home the first time! [emoji23][emoji48][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I'm trying something. This is a butterfly that allowed me to shoot this past summer.View attachment 266484

It worked!!!

My sister went to her son's house a while ago and found a bag of a dried, strong smelling substance on his mantlepiece and immediately jumped to conclusions.
She was furious and rang him at his place of work and tore a strip off him about his stupidity and how irresponsible he was and told him that he should be ashamed of himself etc etc.
When my nephew could eventually get a word in and calmed her down he managed to explain it was just a bag of catnip that his girlfriend who was staying there had bought for her cat. She hasn't lived it down yet!

Of course she wanted to nip it in the bud...

It's gone midnight here so I'd better make my way up the apples and pears. (cockney rhyming slang for 'stairs' in case you're wondering what I'm talking about)
I've had a more inactive day than usual today as I've twisted my good knee now and it's very painful to hop on. Must have been too ambitious with those chairs!
I'm hoping it will ease with some rest and painkillers.
Anyway enjoy the rest of your Monday and I'll pop in (or hop in) tomorrow.
Nos Da and take care.

Take it easy, Lyn. I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s important. Get well soon!

All caught up but it is 4 minutes to go before I need to be in the office. My son found this in our kitchen early this morning. First time we ever found one of these where we are. Milly unfortunately was sniffing it and Liam said that it stung her. But I could not see any wound or redness etc. I am not sure if it is a poisonous one or not. Milly was not rubbing her nose or anything. So I really hope that she is okay. I will go back home at lunch and check on her. But in the 2 hours from the time she apparently got stung I did not see any difference in her behaviour or any swelling etc. Holding thumbs. Anyway Liam caught it and put it over the wall into the vlei. But from now on I will be checking my shoes before I put any feet into them. [emoji85] View attachment 266528

Yikes. Not the most pleasant thing to find in your kitchen. Hope Milly is fine.

You and Liam were very humane about the invader. I wouldn’t have been. [emoji33]

Not yet. We will be moving once my daughter let's out for summer.

Hi, Bambam! Hope no more house repairs on this house then? What are you working on now?

 

[CarolM]

Not yet. We will be moving once my daughter let's out for summer.

Have you started packing yet? That is always a mammoth task and I don't envy you at all.
