Makes the two of us!

I seem to be doing much better with the no coffee since I took Linda's advice and took some pain tablets again. I am even beginning to enjoy black rooibos tea.[emoji3]

 

[CarolM]

Lol I'm sitting here with a cup in my hand right now!

Lol. Tease!!

Want to visit your conservation center

I want to visit all of the CDR corners.

 

[CarolM]

Me too. French roast. At 6:36 am. (Thank you, early-bird daughter...)

Rub it in. [emoji15]

 

[CarolM]

Ok... we need some pix of the farm..the cactus growing...the lemon trees.....and more, have fun!

Oops. I didn't take any. And we are in our way back home. I'll take picks of the cactus pads i got. And the lemons and oranges i got. It is also a lousy day to take pics as it is overcast and raining. Next time i am at the farm i promise to take pictures for you.

A postcard from the American Natural History Museum:
View attachment 243499
“Stupendemys was a genus of pleurodiran turtle,‭ ‬a type better known as a side-necked turtle.‭ ‬Side necked turtles acquired their name because their necks are so long that the only way they could fit under the shell was to fold their necks into one side.‭ ‬The preserved length of the largest known Stupendemys carapace‭ (‬the upper shell‭) ‬is one hundred and eighty centimetres long,‭ ‬and has been estimated to be as much as three hundred and thirty centimetres long in the living animal.‭ ‬With the addition of the long neck Stupendemys would have been even longer than the famously huge‭ ‬Archelon,‭ ‬a giant sea turtle that lived earlier in the late Cretaceous period.”

Wow. Those are HUGE.

You know what they say, when life gives you lemons.....

Squeeze lemon juice into the eyes of your enemies

Whahaha. I'll remember that.

Lol. No. I am putting the juice in my water. Makes water taste much nicer.

As long as you brush your teeth thoroughly, that’s fine. Lemon makes water acidic and can damage your teeth!

I’m glad it is going better. When you are more comfortable without caffeine then reduce the painkillers gradually. Don’t suddenly stop them; take a little less for a few days until you are used to it and then gradually reduce the dose again every few days.

Great. Thanks for the advice so far. It has been great advice and is working well. [emoji8]
