I don't know of anyone needing just the right foot of a pair of size 14 shoes, but there's got to be a need for that kind of thing out there. Sort of like a matchmaker entity... Although I guess I would be more of a mis-matchmaker program! ;)
Another member gave me a group that matches up people to exchange shoes.

It would be practical to have a list with pictures of all the things to look for and to remove for each region. I think im just gonna have to make one for myself...
What I've found is that the best weeds are about the same for everyone. I also have a house rabbit. Her lists of good food and toxic plants are similar to my tortoise and even for cats, dogs, and people. I studied this for a while out of just curiosity. " Edible wild plants." before I even got my tortoise. It's worth looking at.

That's what happened to my brother. Back then he had to live away from us to get any sort of education at all. He could come home on the weekends but, I always felt really bad for him. Thank God the school was only 30 miles away but it was still hard on the families. It was also one of only a few schools for the deaf in the US. Children were flown in from all over the US. The laws have changed about that situation but still...since he is profoundly deaf I don't know that it would have made any difference. He is what he is. He works. He's funny and fun. He's well-known for his cartoon paintings...

I would like to see his drawings sometime [emoji6]

Thank you! I’ll tell her.
There are stupid people trying to get her ship them to Az. Maybe they don’t know the laws.
Has she offered them for free?
If so goodness knows what sort of people are after them, possibly only those who see a big profit in selling them on.
I hope she can get in touch with Josh or the other organisation Yvonne mentioned

I put this link in the Plant Identification thread which is useful if you are searching for a plant by description as it gives you names of the different shapes of leaves .

Maybe they do a French version of it.
I have managed to find the names of a few plants that I didn't know just by describing the shape of leaves and their edges etc.and then checked them on The Tortoise Table.

Looks nice, but doesnt look very deep. Can Jay soak in there? Nice pic!

Thanks!
She has a baby pool but doesn’t use it very much. I physically have to put her in it to get her to drink or soak, so I figured this was a good option for her. I think the sound of her getting in and out of the baby pool is a big deterrent.

It’s illegal to sell Desert torts. She’s just rehoming them.

You brother did this? Very talented!
Yes he did. He didn't get a lot in life because he's a developmentally disabled profoundly deaf person. But God saved his life and gave him a gift. He's a lot of fun. Our mother got 3 day measles while pregnant for him. He's 60 now. I believe in miracles.
