I remember when you posted in the "What you look like thread." You're a total babe with nothing to worry about!

You make me blush! Thank you. Still have dark spots though!

A mini fridge doesn't have enough interior space for Joe

We had to buy an under-counter fridge.

You will probably need bright lights on for 14 hours through the winter. If you use an MVB consider using a fluorescent tube (standard one) to make things brighter.

Hes at 13 hrs right now. I switched out his bulb (flourescent tube) with a new one and he seems more active. The weather did warm up a little though so this could also be why.

Lola doesn't hibernate being a leopard but he has also become quite lethargic the last couple of days as the temps have dropped.
Today he didn't come out of his hide until I pulled him out at midday. I gave him a good soak and he has eaten well, but he went back to bed just after 4pm He did come back out for a little while and ate some more but went straight back to bed. Strange really as he is indoors and his temps haven't changed, but even though its been very bright and sunny day here, there has been a chill and he must have picked up on the change.

Max wouldnt eat or come out unless i pulled him out too. Interesting how they can pick up on the temp change even when its nice & warm in their enclosure

So, I'm diving back into the world of retail seasonal work this year. Was offered the job at my interview today. The cash will be really good for me. I'll still get my meager teacher pay even when school is out over Christmas, and I'm starting at a decent hourly wage at the mall. I'll soon be sporting a fantastic blue polo shirt at Best buy. I'm going to look soooo HOT! Store sales are going to SOAR through the roof just from people lining up to see me tuck in my polo shirt!!! ---awwww man...I hate tucking in my shirt!!! It'll show my poochy belly!!!

I think I'll need to start watching the tv show "Chuck." And time to use the employee discount to replace my broken down Wii.

Congrats on the seasonal job! My boyfriend use to work there. They pay decent depending on what department youre in ! And he wears black pants here. Not khakis . Lol

Be safe Ed ! You AND the tortoises be safe !

John - cutting down on drinks and counseling sound helpful ! Not saying youre old but ... youre getting old, so youre body cant handle some yhings anymore. I got my boyfriend to cut down drinking. It took some getting use to for him.

Good morning CDR.

I'm expecting the fridge delivery this morning. Joe ate nothing yesterday despite the sun, so I guess hibernation is not far off now. It will be interesting to see if he eats today.

And I'm feeling a little sore in my left shoulder this morning as I had a flu jab yesterday.

No pain no gain. Paying out to get it done at the pharmacist is better than actually going down with flu.

If you have anything at all to do with schools, the chances of avoiding it without are minimal!

Good morning.
It looks like we wont be working on Friday and may get to leave early tomorrow in front of that storm.
I'm nearly done with every thing except i need to make room in the garage for the lawn furniture, etc and then park the cars up next to the house.

With the list of meds you're on John you may well qualify for a free jab. Give your doctor a ring and ask.

If not, you can pay to get it done at Boots and other pharmacies. Boots charges £12.99 for it.

Fingers crossed for you. Good luck Ed.

Hello Ed. How's the weather back there now?

Please, please stay safe.

Hello Ed. How's the weather back there now?

Please, please stay safe.

We're getting the area cleaned and ready and have been told don't report back to work until Monday.
However, I'm on the emergency response team and I'll likely be called in on Friday or this weekend to keep generators and chain saws going, etc.
if my house is still in decent shape. I'll be doing that. Otherwise, I'll be boarding up windows (holes)etc.

Is anyone here interested in getting a tortoise into the calendar?
I don't think I'll do it this year.
I no longer own Bertha and my other tortoises are very average looking.

 

[JoesMum]

I don't have any 5Meg pictures of Joe, the good ones are all too small, and he's doing a good impression of a house brick now as he winds down to hibernate

@spudthetortoise might have something worth entering

Last year was nerve racking.
Queen Bertha made the cut, but after two vote offs for 12th place.
