COLD DARK ROOM

[Yvonne G]

Thank you for saying that Carol. I try not to think about it to much. But sometimes you think, oh that I cannot eat anymore, and that, and that... and so on.
But I must not complain. There are people who don't have any food at all.

I totally get it. After I had two (or three? I can't remember) bouts of diverticulitis, I finally realized there were several food items I must leave off the menu from now on. The doctor only told me to avoid nuts, but I take it upon myself to avoid any food that doesn't totally break down through the digestive process. . . dates (the skin), peas, tomatoes (the seeds), in fact anything with edible seeds, even pickles. So many things I no longer allow myself to eat. But it seems to be working, because it's been several years since an attack. But because of Christmas, the Ferrero Rocher people are running ad after ad about their candy on TV, and I do so love hazel nuts!

Hello
Let me just pop in in normal ED fashion without reading the 600 posts I missed and ask a question:
What's wrong with Sabine?
Thank you

Good afternoon all. Advertisers dealt with for a while. It will get worse before it gets better. There's a big trade show in January and we always get this problem on my other forum in the run up. One company had the nerve to start the post "This isn't an advert" and then went on to say how wonderful their product was [emoji849]

Oh NO... This isn't an ADVERT...
It's a REVIEW...
Of a PRODUCT we make
And want YOU to buy...
Although you may not consider
It IMPRESSIVE ENOUGH for
AUTHENTIC ENDORSEMENTS
And we're too CHEAP to hire
a PROPER marketing firm...
Or we ARE the terribly cheap marketing firm, and now you know why!

Oohhh Wine shopping. Just don't do any whining afterwards please.

Too late! Go look in corner 4!!! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

 

[EllieMay]

Nope. I had mac and cheese. And if you ate it last week how can you have it tonight. And if it came back this week I would certainly not be eating it again. ... Just saying.

YOU JUST MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD!! That was so unexpected

 

[EllieMay]

They’re three. I doubt they’re wise though... and sexing might still be tricky at this stage?

CLUES !!!! Your as bad as my kids ! *shaking my head*. But I must say that intelligence is possible

 

[EllieMay]

Never heard any. Maybe because when I’m wine-shopping, I just buy wine. I don’t drink it too.

Now where’s the fun in that????

 

[EllieMay]

I’m still shocked they actually reached you. [emoji23][emoji23] I guess God loves bowsprit torts too!

I know I do!!! Ever since Carol said they are common over there, I’ve been planning my great Tortoise heist!! I haven’t worked out all the travel details as I’m still completing my all-in-one ninja course ‍

 

[EllieMay]

But some things might also be from fibromyalgie. Is it called that in English? I don't know.

Yes it is. (I’m not sure about the exact spelling) I understand it to be a nerve disease? My grandmother was diagnosed with it and it would cause her random pain if I remember correctly.. how miserable for you all around[emoji20]

 

[EllieMay]

I have an Indotestudo Elongata, yellow head Tortoise called Turt. Two Indian Star Tortoises, Indu and Ster. Although Indu might be a Sri Lankan Star. And a little Russian Tortoise, Oleg.

I think pictures are in order here!

If I 'm remembering correctly, she was moving a large tortoise habitat and bumped her leg. it got infected and now it's painful to sit for long periods at the computer.

 

[Pastel Tortie]

[emoji23] [emoji23] I have heard a wine or two after wine shopping.

They call to you, don't they?

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Phew. Caught up. You guys do talk a lot, don’t you? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

We listen a lot, too.

 

[CarolM]

But I do have Tortoises!!
And one only gets what he can carry. At least that is what I tell my self.

Very True.

 

[CarolM]

We're going to a wine tasing tomorrow night [emoji485]

Did the two of you plan this?

 

[CarolM]

Ooh. I have caught now. Sweet dreams Carol. I have David Attenborough's latest series 'Dynasties' to watch now so I'll not see you later

Enjoy.

She hurt her leg on one of her tort enclosures and it became infected. She also suffers from shingles.
