SNAP'ish! The first question that pops into my mind whenever I see something green. And yes, I've been told strongly that traffic lights are on the Do Not Feed list on Tortoise Table.Do we know what the name of this plant is? We have giant Elephant Ear, but nothing on the scale or overall size of that! And, most importantly, can Sullys eat it?
And most Brits8 am and still dark?? You've got to be kidding me! Said no Danish person ever...
Can torts eat them? That would be a lot of tort food... for a couple of days
Gunnera is Do Not FeedSNAP'ish! The first question that pops into my mind whenever I see something green. And yes, I've been told strongly that traffic lights are on the Do Not Feed list on Tortoise Table.

Hey there CDR-dwellers! I started trying to catch up on this thread, but... it’s proving to be an overwhelming task, especially while using my iphone[emoji854] anyway, just wanted to thank everyone for all your well wishes, thoughts, prayers, I know those were the huge part of what’s carried me through the surgery and the first week post. View attachment 259798 the operation went well, though took much longer than anticipated. I was on the table for 2.5 hrs while my surgeon was tearing, cutting, prying off all the scar tissue to get all that metal out. It was supposed to come out 3 yrs ago, but I was too much of a chicken to do it. The first 2 operations were VERY painful! And that is why I asked another ortho surgeon to remove it this time, that other one had a very simple formula for post-op pain management, this same for all patients. My current guy customizes treatment to the patients medical history/individual needs. Back then I had been in a wheelchair for 6 months, in lot of pain every single day for first few wks... didn’t feel like doing anything! And I have 3 young kids! And 2 tortoises!!!! I can’t just sit around feeling sorry for myself! Now I’ve been walking more and more every day, even climbing stairs! Tomorrow will be 2 wksView attachment 259801 so this was the first night post op, scared me a little bit, but that was IT, no more problems after that. Just didn’t manage to do my cards till yesterday, sorry all you Overseas Guys if yours come late. I’ll try to do better next year. It’s good to be back, I’ll try to catch up on “the CDR scoop” little by little. Meanwhile, whishing you ALL a wonderful Devember afternoon[emoji9]
Good Mornoonevening, all!
My daughter hosted her two grandchildren this week-end. They're something like 3 and 2. . . or maybe 4 and 3? I can't keep track. Anyway, they made cookies Saturday:

Can you imagine the mess in her kitchen when they were through? For two bratty boys, they didn't do too bad a job.
We’re home! Daughter made it to her friend’s about an hour ago. Son has been reunited with his keys and wallet and is on a train to London. And we’re recovering with a mug of tea
Seriously your health and welfare, and that of your family, matters far more than a few cards! I am so glad you are recovering and, on the positive side, now you have an interesting building set to play withHey there CDR-dwellers!

Came out of my eye surgery ok today. Hopefully within a couple or few days I'll be able to see again!
I feel so sorry for my son. He lives in Texas in a 5 bedroom house (that sounds big, but it's one of those cookie cutter houses and it's pretty small inside). Living with him in that house are two teenagers (his step daughter's kids, a boy and a girl), a set of yearling twins (also the step daughter's kids, also a boy and a girl), his step daughter and her husband, his wife, and two rottweilers. When his mother-in-law comes home from the hospital, she will also be living there. The wife had full knee replacement surgery on both legs a week or so ago, and she's home with physical therapy every other day at the house. The mother-in-law had one leg amputated below the knee a couple days ago and is in rehab. My son had his back fused a couple years ago and can't bend, and is still in a bit of pain and tires out easily, but it's getting better. I don't see how it could get any worse. Well, when the m-i-l gets home I guess it will be worse. The house isn't really big enough for wheel chairs. Karma's a b i t c h!

no, it's toxic. S.A. giant rhubarb, or gunera.Do we know what the name of this plant is? We have giant Elephant Ear, but nothing on the scale or overall size of that! And, most importantly, can Sullys eat it?
