Were they from the pads I sent you?

I actually have a battery organizer and my little device came today but it's going to get lithium. So I could play but I'm too tired to go to the store. It's funny that you mentioned toys that are battery operated. I thought a Christmas card I saw once hilarious. It was a kid on Santa's lap asking for batteries
I'll read the little book for now but tomorrow is another story.
Well...then I'm glad I didn't watch it. You don't have to be an old fogey to dislike some of the new music. And I actually like some of it. It has to be fun though with a good melody. Some of the songs though, if I watch the video it ruins the song for me and I wish I hadn't seen it. I'm glad you are you.
No Ray, these are from a local grocery store. Yours are in pots in our sun room growing. Soon, back outside.
I wish our stores still had those. I've seen recipes for preparing and cooking them online. I'd like to at least try them myself once.
Have my pads produced any for you or are you waiting for them to get bigger?
I haven't tried them yet but one recipe I saw said they tasted like green beans.

Since I cry here all the time....Ally bank finally acknowledges payment in full!
I recommend NEVER dealing with an online only bank. The secret is their phone support has no ability to change anything, just to view......very hamstrung in their abilities.
WHEW.....bad experience....very bad...and I have 855 scores and pay my loans off early! Can you imagine if I was lay'ed off and needed actual help from them? wow!

If you want...send me your address and I'll send you
some pads...
Maggie what type of cactus do you have? I would like to try growing different types. I have the cactus that Mark posted.
That's so sweet of you to offer that. Sapphire won't eat them but I was wanting to try them out myself. Here's the thing though, I would not want you to do that unless I could pay the postage.
The Hispanic people eat them a lot. The recipes I saw also dealt with a safe way to process them. In a way they remind me of okra and I love it any way you cook it
. The sap in the cactus pads is similar to that.
Dito that Maggie. If your cactus is different from mine. I will pay for postage.That's so sweet of you to offer that. Sapphire won't eat them but I was wanting to try them out myself. Here's the thing though, I would not want you to do that unless I could pay the postage.
Cathie I have cactus promised to a member in Pennsylvania for his tort. Just waiting for the new pads to get bigger. After when the new growth starts again. When they are ready to harvest. How many pads do you think you will need? I could also send you some.

. I have one spineless still growing (that's a lie. They ain't spineless) from 6 that I bought online. I tried to get Sapphire to eat it even chopped fine and smeared around his food. Stubborn tort.
Ok the camera was up and running and I probably have around 5,000 pictures. Today I managed to get the viewer going so I could delete a bunch of them and well as I was scrolling through them I realized I don't wanna delete hardly any of them.
I better wait for tomorrow.

I tried a few times cutting up the cactus for Opo and he wasn't interested. One time he was outside grazing and I offered him some romaine lettuce. He was eating like a pig, so I offered him a new growth cactus pad. He ate the whole pad so I offered him more. At first he would only eat new growth cactus. He will eat tougher cactus now. I hand feed the cactus to him. When the cactus is laying flat. It is harder for him to eat it.I have never tried cutting it up for him anymore.I won't know until I try them
@Turtulas-Len showed a good way to feed whole pads. I can't find it, but it was something like those spikes on your desk where you put your telephone messages. A spike sticking up out of the ground and the pad speared onto the spike.
I don't know where the old thread is. But Walker is always happy to please. Just took this pic
Its a square aluminum rod driven into the ground with a clay pot setting upside down to hold the pads off the ground.
Ingenious!!!
I think Heather did something of the same thing. I was thinking about doing that but everyday if I am home.Around 2pm I try to get outside and feed Opo some cactus. It's like our bonding time.
Sometimes one or two pads other times 5 or 6 pads. Then about a minute of scratching his shell.When he has enough of scratching, he walks away and doesn't even look back and say thanks. Same thing in the morning when I rub his head,neck and legs and scratch his back. When he has had enough. He stands up and walks outside to graze. Sometimes I think he is a cat.
