Actually, I really like the name Yvonne. I gave my iPhone the name Yvonne! :p

And since Jacques is named after Captain Jacques Yves Cousteau, but she's a female, I've decided her middle name is Yvette.
So she's Jacques Yvette!!! :p

Off to lunch and chores with hubby! Not see y'all later!
Funny ! You could have named Jaques "Jaqueline". I like the name. Or "Jackie". That is nice too. Why is Jaques Costeau so special for you ?
I saw his life biographie in a movie and he was no nice man....

I have not heard from them today, but it IS Sunday. I expect someone came in to tend the hospitalized animal-patients, but did not call the families unless there was some sort of change. [emoji5]
I expect to hear from them tomorrow- if not, I’ll call. [emoji2][emoji106]
No news is good news, one supposes.
At least in this case. :):<3::tort:

No, but the nature stuff he did and some of his work was groundbreaking and heartwarming.

“The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau” was a television show my whole family and I watched when I was a teenager. It opened our eyes to the beauties of the ocean and the natural world. It really started my love of the ocean creatures and showed how I credibly beautiful and fragile the sea is. It had a very big impact on me in a good wAy. [emoji173]️

Since many are seeking the warm rays of our great Sun, thought I’d share a pix of yesterday’s SUN - snapped by a friend on the Eastern Shore of Md...who specializes in way out there photography. Galaxies, lunar, solar, etc.

Might as well add Friday nights moon as well.

I say bye to see my pets. Feed chicken and sheep. Cuddling both too. Cuddling and feeding cats.

She was so tiny when I got her it was impossible to know the correct gender, but I named her anyway knowing there was only a 50:50 chance it would be gender-appropriate. Once I knew she was female, I had already called her Jacques for a year and decided not to change. I doubt she cares, since SHE knows who she is!!!

I’m not the only one with oppositely named turtles: Ed has a female red foot named Julio and Lynn (who’s not on here anymore [emoji20]) has a male leopard tort named Lola!!!!!!![emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
Lol. That is the difficulty of naming them when so young.

Hi, roommates!
I’m mostly lurking these days. Daughter’s sick; I have a sore throat. It snowed in the night before, much to the excitement of kids over here. (In all honesty, there was enough snow in the entire city for just one good snowman, but many disregarded this fact and even tried to sledge.) Today it’s sunny and the snow mostly melted. I’m consuming liquids of many different kinds. Hope to be up and about in a couple of days.
Have a good week, everyone!

I hope you feel better soon Lena.

There’s no let up for Mums. Kids get sick, share their germs, Mum gets it but worse ... but Mum doesn’t have time to be sick because the kids need looking after! :(
