Good luck with your appointments Lyn.

School starts tomorrow for me:( but just a few more months until I finish Secondary school and study Animal management at college. I can’t wait:D
Thanks Ben.
You'll have exams coming up soon then, so I hope your revision goes well and wish you every success in those.
Animal management will be a great course I'm sure. It certainly helps if you are studying something you enjoy!

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a good Easter! I ended up in the land of no wifi or mobile signal

It was lovely though.

The New Forest is famous for its ponies roaming wild and free... fences are to keep them out rather than in.

There were quite a lot of donkeys, cows and pigs roaming wild too.

We did a lot of birdwatching and a lot of walking... just slowly... but my leg mostly held up. The weather was amazing, so I did opt to sit and rest while the rest of the family were more active at times.

We went to Beaulieu (pronounced Bewley) - home of Lord Montagu and the national motor museum which currently has a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang exhibition on.

We also went to Hurst Castle - built in the 1500s and pretty much in continuous use until the end of World War II. It’s at the end of a 2 mile shingle promontory and was used to defend Solent estuary between the mainland and the Isle of Wight. One of the UK’s most important ports is Southampton at the top of the estuary.

Rather than walk the 2 miles on shingle with my bad leg, we got the little ferry boat from Keyhaven

The walking route:

It's the right hand and wrist. I also have my right leg amputated above the knee. It happened in 2015 in a vehicle accident. When I finally got home I bought my sully Opo and then found TFO. Both have been great for my recovery :)
Me the same. First I found my little walking rock Saphire. He got me through a lot. TFO is helping me help him like I want to. CDR is helping in a different way.

This deal fell through. I hope it’s a good thing for the beardie. He belongs to a minor who’s mother has had enough of the lack of care being given. I think they are going to give it another shot.
Aw that's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing the new addition to your family.

When I first found the CDR. It started me at the first post from @Tidgy's Dad . So I kept reading about 2 pages and then realized I was reading old posts. The posts were funny and off the wall :) So with that in mind I was posting off the wall stories. Then I realized it had changed somewhat in format. So I changed in ordinance with the forum now. There are still very funny posts but not quite off the wall the way I was writing. I cant imagine what the members here thought of my craziness. LOL
Probably didn't notice, Ray, as I always say you don't have to be mad to post here but it helps.:)

I have had acupunture after a few crashes with cars. I came back quicker with than without acupunture and regular physical therapy. I also did the cupping to trap blood in the area like a bruise to overoxygenate the area and would highly recommend both. The trick is finding a high quality acupunturist- I am lucky since my buddies sister did it. The acupressure massage was at the line between just right and painful. She can crack walnuts in her hand! Wish you well recovering
We used to play darts with the hedgehogs in here, will that work?;)
I hope you made a full recovery with no lasting after effects.

G’day all. Looks like we have a full house!

Just a gorgeous day here in Maryland. Yep, i got out on the water just after 7 for about four hours.... Very calm and peaceful. Even the migratory geese and swans and loons are gone. But, the Bald Eagles are all very present and the Osprey have returned from their winter vacation down in warmer areas.

And, some pix

thats should be ok, that’s made for fish.
I'm going to buy the copper test stuff anyway. It's interesting because I knew a woman with Wilson's disease. She didn't have enough copper. But once I get my betta I would still want the testing strips instead of having to run around here there and everywhere to keep his little home safe.

That's good to know. I have the stress zyme too. My water is good to do it. I'm just trying to be saturated with information before I add an animal.
Don’t worry, fish are more hardy when it comes to chemicals compared to crustaceans. All aquarium chemicals I based mainly on the safety of fish aslong as you follow the correct dosage. Hardness in the water is needed for crustaceans so they can get a nice hard shell after a moult aswell as calcium.
