COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Good night, roommates! End of a difficult day for me. No more in-laws until at least next Sunday. (I hope.)
Take care, everyone.

Goodnight Lena.

We're stressing over Dan Evans playing Vasek Pospisil of Canada in the Davis Cup tennis now. He's struggling

And he lost, so it's 2-2 and we need Kyle Edmund to win his match. My hopes are not high

Oh, dear, Evans just lost.
Down to the final match to decide if GB make the quarter finals.

Nor mine.

Hello ???? Someone still here in the dark ?

 

[JoesMum]

I am just off to bed. Kyle Edmund won his match and the tie for GB because his Canadian opponent hit the umpire hard in the face with the ball by accident thus defaulting the match. A tough way to lose. Edmund looked like winning anyway but still

Poor Lena ! I am really sorry to hear of your problems.
I think it is a 50 : 50 thing:

When you give your torts in other hands it is 50% that they will be treaten well or bad.
When you release your torts into the wild, it`s 50% that they will survive.

I don`t know what I would do. It is very difficult. As @Lyn W already said: Are there zoo`s or sanctuaries in Turkey that would take them ?

Here in the States it is illegal to release a pet tortoise into the wild, and I'll bet it is there too. A couple things to think about. Your captive tortoise has been exposed to 'germs' that the wild population has never encountered, and your tortoise MIGHT make tortoises it comes into contact with sick or even dead. And the other thing, like has been said before, it's hard for a 'pet' tortoise to survive when released. They're used to being pampered and not having to fend for themselves.

Been watching my Doctor Who again so I can watch the Superbowl and give a commentary in a bit.
Apologies to our American brethren in advance, but my tennis commentary was so well receive I thought i'd try another sport.

Golly !
I missed that!
Sorry for Canada, as you say, an awful way to go out, but I guess them's the rules.
Night night, Linda.
Sleep well.

Good evening, Yvonne.
Agreed.
Hope you're having a good day.

Hmmmmm
Ta.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hmm, my link to the Superbowl has gone down.
Technical difficulties.
Normal service will be restored eventually.

 

[Bee62]

If there is any chance for Lena, @Kristoff getting registration papers for her torts in Turkey ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

National Anthem being played.
Nobody protesting.
