Why does the week have to begin so early? Why can't days start at like 9:30, or 10?

Yah gotta love FedEx.:rolleyes: I ordered some seeds from Tyler and they were sent out on Tuesday from Vegas.

So Tuesday Vegas
Wednesday Phoenix
Thursday Lenexa, KS (200 miles from me)
Friday Kansas City (almost 200 miles from me)

It has sat there all weekend and at some point will now maybe go to Omaha for today, Lincoln for Tuesday? then on Wednesday it will be here. So for six days I will wait for a package that is only 200 miles from me, but being kept fairly mobile.

It's all based on the things YOU choose to do. Some folks days begin at 11 pm.

FedEx sent my frog a week before the enclosure.
BOTH were labeled "fragile order 1752" but they only sent the one with the "live animal" label for overnight! So I had a frog in a little plastic jar for a week.


Clearly sleeping in isn't one of the things I do. :rolleyes:

I'm still anticipating earthquakes. And rain.
I suspect one of my latest take-in Russians is gravid. Thought she was too small (almost 5 inches), but maybe not.


Bye guys. I'm going to explore a new bakery this morning.

My UPS and FedEx drivers both gave me their cell numbers so that when I'm expecting a live animal I can call and meet with them in the morning rather than the critter having to spend the day in the truck. We're pretty rural so our deliveries typically are scheduled, “end of day". These are some of the good guys out there.

Morning Jeff. Yes of course you can call. Currently I'm enjoying one of my all time favorite classic movies, “ The Patriot". It's the stand up for what is right, not necessarily for what is excepted. Ya know, a real feel good movie.

Good movie [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Haha you guys will think this is funny- so last week while my family was here, they were hanging out in my apartment while I was at work. When I got home one day, my mother in law said "you have yourself an escape artist over there" and pointed towards the tortoise enclosures. I'm all "holy crap! How?!" Apparently my larger of the two has ALREADY outgrown the new PVC pipe I have in his enclosure that I use to connect his 2 plastic tubs. He wedged himself inside the tube trying to get across and got stuck [FLUSHED FACE] so in all his might to get out, he managed to push the PVC pipe out and got about half his body out of the enclosure before my mother in law came over to see what all the racket was.

I sure hope this isn't foreshadowing for how he's gonna be like when he gets older and bigger [FLUSHED FACE]

Of course hahaha. Little show off. [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] but now that means I gotta get PVC pipe with a diameter bigger than 6" [FLUSHED FACE]

No kidding. The downside of us taking good care of our torts. I go through the terra cotta dishes quickly because mine don't fit in them as water bowls for very long. I'm up to the 14in ones already [FLUSHED FACE][FLUSHED FACE]

Whoopee!! I'm doin' the happy dance for David. Just be careful. All you need now to go along with the eyes and poor balance is a broken leg or something.

We are end of the day, too. At one time I had the driver on the next route over, stealing all my "live" animal boxes from the normal driver. The reasoning was then he could have Mexican food next door at the bar for lunch. :D The current drivers (UPS and FedEx) bring them at the regular late time (usually 4:30-5 pm), but they know if I don't answer the door, drive around the block and check the backyard first and then take over to the neighbor around the block and behind me.

Thats right! I completely forgot. Perhaps. I might make a turn around trip, and just go up for Saturday afternoon. I don't know yet.
