Yep. He said we should observe her some more before interfering. Phew. Not a fan of major interventions.
No, neither am I. Although if it is a problem that re-occurs often then I would be. When my kids were small they would get tonsilitis (is that the correct spelling? I have forgotten how to spell :oops:) My hubby wanted to always get them removed and I refused, as it was an occurrance of less than 4 times a year. And I believe that tonsils do play a necessary role in the human body. My point is that it is always good to be cautious but not to just jump in as soon as a problem arises. Okay lecture/opinion is over now. We can get back to being silly.:<3:;)

Are we refering to a certain expert? if it is I refrained from commenting especially when he started spouting certain things (which by the way I have no clue where anybody mentioned anything relating to that ) and I am from South Africa. If we just look at them wrong we are being racist here. If you were not refering to that person then sorry for my rant.
O I absolutely was. I really didn't believe they would know anything that I hadn't already researched but for the sake of learning I had to at least ask.
A little too big for their breeches and to many holes in their story.
For instance, if you only got your torts this year then how in the world would you be able to release 30 into the wild every year.
Then that nonsense about supposed to go to Madagascar to help. The TSA was the ones called in for that..
I would love to call him out on his lies but then I would just be spitting on a fire.

Yes, I agree, it became a rather heated thread. I just couldn't believe how he reacted though. Totally astounding. Was quite offended by some of his comments to other people for those other people. I could not respond at all due to the fact that I live in South Africa and people would just take it the wrong way. Besides it is probably a little political for me, so kept my nose out.

Since it seems so lonely in here, I thought that I would occupy myself for a while.;)

And does this mean that we need to add it to the list of what we feed our torts (along with the bean substrate of course) that is if there ever is enough left over after I have had my taste test - because I believe :rolleyes: that for this one you have to make sure that there is no poison in there before you feed it. Obviously!! DUH.

This one we need to add to our self defense moves.

Okay last one :)( I am having so much fun, but I better stop before I make you all have to catch up too much)
Looks around to see if anybody is seeing me post this (Plausible deniability (can't remember how to spell this) if you did not see me. Hee Hee Hee)

Yes- I do believe that I would fall into that category with cereal.

No unfortunately :( but to be honest I may not be able to work here at all soon. The meds they are putting me on are pretty strong and make me prone to life threatening infections. I don't know what I will do if I lose my job and insurance. I'm just hoping I can avoid disability.
Hi Dan, my fingers are crossed that the meds will help.:)

Good morning all. Sorry I couldn’t get back to you yesterday. The need for sleep was too great.

We have walked well over 10km (7 miles) every day so far and, given my loss of fitness due to back problems, it has been very hard work. My back is doing well though :)

So, a quick roundup of yesterday... weather: sunny, wind chilly

First off some stone circles for @Moozillion, both 4-5000 year old neolithic. To put these dates in place, Stonehenge is only 2500 years old!

Half a mile up the road the huge Ring of Brodgar

And some equally old burial chambers nearby

Unstan requires you to get on your hands and knees to enter

Maeshow is much bigger. You’re not allowed to take photos inside, but the Vikings found it and covered it in rune graffiti! You still have to bend right over and shuffle down a 30ft/10 metre passage to get in!

Beautiful postcards with amazing views, as ever ! Thank you Linda for them.

Clunker went on strike yesterday.
He had gotten to go outside for almost a week straight, but yesterday was a little cool, cloudy, and downright windy. He doesn't want to eat unless he's outside now. Didn't even bother walking through the food pile yesterday.

Whahaha Clever cat. I can just see it. Scooby takes it outside and hides in the bushes. Or he looks to see who is around and then sneaks in and whaps! it's gone. His latest is to steal the cat food. I have had to move Bella's food bowl onto the kitchen counter so that he cannot get to it, problem is Bella is very upset with me about it. LOL
I feed all my cats in the house on tables...... because of my dogs. It is a problem of all cat/dog owners.:D
