My surrogate grandson is autistic. His teachers have told me I’m his hero. He’s 5yrs but his language level is that of a 2 yr-old. He loves my critters and always makes his way to the tortoises.
Last year I took my sulcata to his school and let all the kids interact with him. It was great for all the kids and teachers involved. I recommend all of us, if we have the opportunity to do the same. I’ll be back for the next group of kids.

That would be a really nice thing to do. I will have to look into it. But, I already do something similar. I let all the kids in my neighborhood meet my torts if they want to. Gives me a chance to teach some.

Since my wreck I’ve needed something to be focused on. I almost had a box turtle in the class as a class pet, but the hand/finger mouth was just too much to try and control with the kids and keep it a positive thing.

Evening all!

Howdy all. So now we’ve got a comet flying by closer than it has in 2oo years.

I’ve been selected as well. My attorney has instructed me to let them aware that I’m epileptic and that likely will disqualify me. “ After all, who wants one of those in the jury room?” I’ve never been so I was lookin forward to mentioning that I spend my days playing with my tortoises and watching cops and court TV. First stage for me. Only the paper work so far.

It’s a little surprising to me that it’s that easy to get out of for me but I’m not questioning it! We had 3 murder trials come up last week but idk what this weeks are...

Because of my age, I don't receive the summons anymore. And I only ever received one summons in my whole life. I went to the courthouse and sat around for two days before finally being called with the group into a courtroom. When it came my turn to be questioned by the attorneys, in answering one of the questions I told them my best friend's husband is a private detective and we sit around the table discussing his cases frequently. I was excused.

They thanked me with this “Jury service is a significant civic responsibility and fundamental duty of citizenship to protect our many rights and privileges.”

Good morning!
