EW-w-w! I know I'm going to have nightmares about maggots crawling on me. I have an ornate box turtle rescue that absolutely will not eat and she's getting sicker and weaker by the day. I've exhausted all the tricks in my bag-o-tricks. So I went online and ordered some wax worms, which arrived today. I got out my trusty tweezers and dropped a couple in front of the turtle, and SUCCESS!! She ate! But yee gads! MAGGOTS???
Haha when I first moved to VA I went to the bait store and asked for maggots. They just stared at me. My mounted red ear bluegill was caught on a pimen with maggots! I grew up with them

Cathie a few months ago I saw a report on a painkiller called Norco. That's what I take. This new Norco has no additives of aspirin type medication. I don't know if it's available I haven't asked my doctor. But we all know the slippery slope that painkillers can be. But in my case I have no option at this time.
That is one I can take. It's a mix of Tylenol and hydrocodone. If I was in your situation I could use it. It's the only stronger pain killer I can use without really bad side effects.

I do them on my Kindle. No way to take pictures off it.
That's interesting. Could you upload the finished puzzle to your email maybe? That's kind of what I do with my smart phone and older pictures. On my phone I have to send it to my e-mail then download it. I then can post it. I haven't tried posting a picture from my same email on my laptop yet. All I could do is succeed or fail.

Twasnt me. I only work at home now because I'm retired...supposedly. I also have this little shortcut on my phone that takes me straight to the CDR and TFO in general from there. I have an email attached to my TFO account and an Android smart phone. So I just hold a post until it puts an icon on my home screen. That way I can sit on my bum and play for some small part of my day.
Whoops it was Carolo_O
Well at least I got the C right :D

I know this is going to sound like paranoia but make them count them in front of you. I have had family members that their prescription was short of just a few. The pharmacy swears that 3 people count them. They are so regulated now that who do you think will be believed. I know my family member wouldn't lie and so someone got by with stealing just a couple. Or maybe your insurance would pay for a medpac. That puts all your medication for the month in a folder with blister packs for everyday and the time you're supposed to take them.
I haven't come up short but that does make me think. I was thinking about the pacs but my meds change often. I remember doing my mother's meds for a month in those daily pill containers. Then her meds would change and I would have to redo them.

You get used to them very quickly. We have big trays of them in the animal kitchen at the rescue... plus there’s usually a tray of day old chicks defrosting on the counter :D

Hello everyone, I’m of to see “The Joker” today starring Joaquin Phoenix. Apparently it’s very dark and creepy... perfect!:p

I got a Merit in that biology mock exam which is apparently really good considering this is our first exam. The grades are set out like this, “Distinction” being the highest you can get, then “Merit” below that and then onto a “pass” which is the lowest.

Ah yes I how can I forget, I had a red knee tarantula on my arm on Wednesday:D

Well congratulations on the exam.. it’s obvious now after the “it” movie and now the “joker” that creepy is right up your ally so I’m thinking the tarantula must be a friend of yours. No pics? I like to see them...... from a distance !

Good morning! Still pretty hot here in Texas... I’m going to wait for the sun to come up and get outside early for yard work.. gotta keep the leaves out of my tortoise yards so that the grass continues to thrive... I’ve got some rye grass seeds to add to it also. We had a little storm come through a couple nights ago so I’ve also got a lot of limbs to pick up... on the upside, one night very soon it should be cool enough for a fire;-)
The past few days has really drove home how many things in my life that I have always done with a canine companion.. I had said that I wouldn’t get another house dog but I’m having severe empty lap syndrome... I believe there may be a puppy in my future. I am going to take the time and look for a lot of qualities to make the perfect partner for me. And also brush up on some dog training...

Happy Sunday. A bit overcast here today with a possibility of rain tomorrow! We need it.

Today, heading to Washington DC for some kayaking. We will head out on to the Potomac and cross over to the DC side before turning upstream past the DC monuments and Georgetown. Our goal is to stop for leisurely lunch at Fletchers boathouse approximately 6 miles upstream before turning around and heading back.

No pictures sadly, we are not allowed to have our phones when handling. Next time I’m in the invert room I’ll take a pic of him in his enclosure.

So far I haven't seen anyplace on the Kindle's jigsaw site where it tells me I can 'share' it.
