Well, I was at the grocery store that had the 1.5 ton wheel of cheese that I posted a while back. I figured there might be a decent possibility of finding Adam there, but no luck.[emoji853]

And the giant wheel of cheese is long gone...[emoji6]

Almost every day I'm on here tfo and get sad seeing all these posts of ppl raising their tortoises improperly. How do y'all hold back from just yelling and not losing your mind all the time! It's stressing me out reading all these posts. Like I can feel my blood pressure rising. Then when all these great ideas come in, you dont see the person posting again or anything. It just frustrates me so bad. Idk how to deal besides not looking at them. But then I feel bad since it seems like I'm looking the other way.. idk my rant for today...

Oh and happy b day @DE42 !!

I figure that saying the same thing for the umpteen thousandth time might eventually get the message over. Generally speaking, if you phrase the answer right you can persuade the owner that things can be done to perfect the setup. I try not to bluntly say that someone is doing it all wrong, even if they are. There’s no point upsetting the owner; they’ll go away and a tortoise won’t get the help it desperately needs.

One or two people cannot take any help whatsoever. Whatever is said is wrong even from the people with decades of experience who have been there, done that and learned from their mistakes. For those you just have to shrug and walk away... remember all the ones you have helped and the lovely PMs I have had thanking me.

And just occasionally, I take a break from posting help completely... a sanity break. I go for a period of insanity in the CDR instead :D

This forum has supported me through bad times and good ... and the very worst of times too. I just try to give back a little.

Hello, gang.
I see some new folks here. I've been neglecting to visit much.
I've been busy with the new car project, work and life in general.
I'm down to just one tortoise to help simplify my world.
I found the three ladies an excellent home, also in humid, steamy Florida.
I've kept Julio.
I hope that everyone is doing well.

Hi Ed. When from time to time you are still popping in to say "hi" we will be glad. And when you want to look more often in here it is super. All is okay as long as we are not losing you totally.
Could you please post a pic of Julio ?
