Hey, John. So sorry about your shipping problem. I've heard so much bad stuff this holiday season - seems much worse than in prior years.

Day four of the tortoises living in the house.
Morning number four of it being in the upper 40s at night.
Iguanas are dying by the thousands and lots of introduced fishes are starting to die in the waterways.
The guppies in my koi pond have all gone belly-up.

They do say that it is the thought that counts...you have been putting in extra time trying to sort it all out ...that has to be worth some brownie points!

Speaking of bad stuff around this time of year, my city has a repeat porch bandit. I belong to a neighborhood group and different people in the group have taken this porch bandit's picture - her and her car and license plate. She brazenly gets out of her car, walks up to the porch and steals packages. She's been filmed doing it. She gets arrested and is right back at it again when she gets out. I don't understand why she keeps getting out.

Thank u so much adam I’ve not been on as if ad operation on my back and I’m not great with it to be honest I’m struggling Clyde is doin great bless him I hope u n wifey n tidgy are good xx

I hope your op went OK and you recover quickly. From personal experience I know that these things take a long time to heal and progress is frustratingly slow.

Good evening all.

This day has flown. It's Mum's 80th birthday tomorrow and I have been spending today getting organised for travelling up to Buxton for the weekend. We have a house booked 10 minutes walk from Mum's flat and a family celebration lunch on Saturday.

Daughter has made it to son's flat in Bristol and they are driving up from there tomorrow. My uncle and aunt arrive from Norfolk tomorrow too. My nephew (aged 20) has gone down with mumps so he won't be there. My niece and her partner arrive Saturday. My sister is a chef and is on duty tomorrow night; she's looking for respite from turkey...

It's all a bit chaotic, but it will be fun

Sounds like it's time for a few dog poo "bait" packages.
Maybe with a spring-loaded poo flinger built in.
I'd love to design that!!
I suppose you could substitute fire ants or some hornets.

Disgraceful.
But not surprising!
When we shipped all our possessions from England to Morocco, the well-known removals company involved 'lost' a lot of stuff.
Apparently, they have a reputation for decorating their homes with other people's possessions.

Ridiculous!

You need a big planner on the wall to keep track of all this.
Good evening, Linda!

There are hundreds of thousands of them. If not more.

If I had that many I would be wondering what an iguana burger tasted like..or burrito, gumbo, casserole, jerky... Yep
