I'm here too.Anyone on right now?
I'm here too.Anyone on right now?
I have been in and out of hospitals since 2015. Right after the accident in 2015 I was in hospitals, rehabs and assisted living for almost 3years . Since I have been home. I have been back in hospitals 3 or 4 times. When I posted that my attitude was lousy. I seem to be getting better. I feel good this morning so I hope it lasts all day.
I'm looking for a rich man to take me on one!!It is! On a CDR postcard!
I’d expect to see it in a travel supplement advertising romantic holidays (not that I look at romantic getaways! [emoji1])
It must be the App because it’s happening to me too.
Hi Heather how's your young man?I mostly use the app on my iPhone . I haven’t had any problems... just to add to the mystery)
I'm on an android smartphone. I can see the pictures. It's not a lot of gigs. I can use a web browser if I want to.I usually don't at least I don't think I do. My problem is really big ads and the weird thing. I try to type and most of the time it's ok. But then something else takes over and erases the first letter that I type. Then I have to go back and retype. I'm still here cause I don't move easily.Are you using a computer or laptop? Or are you using a tablet/iPad or your smart phone?
The app is on the smart phones and tablet/iPad and has picture problems.
On computers and laptops, you just use your web browser and that has the advert problem
I don't know if something I did for my first house rabbit would work for your tortoise or not. I used stairway treads (for safety) with glue backing. The top surface was kind of like really heavy grade sand paper but even heavier yet not as course as sand paper... They are flat and you can cut them to fit. It only costed me a few dollars. It was fun for our new kitten and baby bunny to run across.
I'm here too.

I've been sitting here all afternoon wondering if I have the start of COPD because it feels like I' m not getting enough oxygen. I thought back over my day to see what was different about this day and remembered that I cleaned out Dudley's (110lb sulata) shed today.
Cleaning out the shed means sweeping up about two weeks of dried and dusty tortoise poop. The shed is about 10x10x6 with a very small/narrow people door for ventilation.
So I guess breathing all that poop dust must've coated my lungs (or maybe I'm too impressionable). At any ate, I went onto Amazon and ordered a package of medical face masks.
We're just staying up to see how the other half live while we're usually snoozing!!A bit ironic that it’s two Brits in the CDR at this time of day... when we should be tucked up in bed.
I’m watching New Tricks though... and JoesDad’s not here to guilt trip me into turning in![]()
Good one!Only if you are near the river mouth!!![]()
It's no fun having a sick kid. I hope he gets well soo nGood afternoon! I don’t know if it counts for much, but I’m here [emoji23]... I took my son to the pediatrician this morning and apparently he suffered a severe allergy attack yesterday which also caused a fever blister In his eye... He was very sickly from birth to 3 yrs old and we dealt with all kinds of weird Illnesses.. when he turned 3, it was like a miraculous turning point and everything just went away. He hasn’t been on any meds (compared to 3 different ones per day) for 2 years now. I’m not sure what happened but we left with 5 different meds a day to get through. We can stop 2 when he’s better but the other 3 will have to be continued for at least 6
Months [emoji35]... the good news, he has felt great today. His specialist had provided meds to keep on hand in the case of the fever blister in the eye and I caught that early and started it last night. It’s very painful and used to happen to him every time he got any other kind of illness. He’s a trooper and doesn’t complain about much . Guess we will be hangin at home for another day or two though![]()

I am still here. Just trying to catch up. Had a couple busy weeks. New tort is settling in good and I will soon post picks of all the babies.PREVIOUSLY IN CDR:
Noel - Continues to regale us with her funny pictures and bringing some comedy into our lives to relieve the stress of daily life. Her eyesight is slowly improving and before long she will be able to see only one of each of us at a time. But I think that we will need to help with the tiny box problem and maybe broaden her horizons.
Bea, is getting a new baby turtle in about a weeks time. We are encouraged to try and guess what species it is and help with name picking. NOOOOO don't pick on the poor baby, that is just mean!!
Sabine is getting stormy weather updates and will need to outfit her chickens with some red shoes so that they can click them and get back home after they have been blown away, otherwise the sheep are heavy with babies - ready to pop out hopefully soon, and the rest of the family are all snuggled up in the cozy house.
Tricia - has had her first show house and she managed to get quite a few of the tips done to make it show house ready. Hopefully it sells for what she needs, to get that place that she wants to get - with lots of space.
Lyn has finally gotten the boot..... no not that kind of boot - where is your mind going! Lola is not so sure about this new boot though and it has been speculated that Lola might think that the boot is a new addition to his family. Yayyy finally a friend for Lola. Although I think the boot might be confused with Lola's name and gender confusion.
Heather had her anniversary over the weekend and had a ball. BUTTTT she did not get the redfoot tort as a gift. Now Heather has to go back to the normal work day Monday, but everybody else gets to sleep in and enjoy their cozy beds and sleep while Heather has to be the responsible one and bring in the money.
Linda is back and regaling us with her exploits again with some beautiful architecture and history of London. Our favorite bird is checking out the bird house digs (I hope it is the same one as last year) and hopefully this time around the eggs hatch and make it to leaving the nest all healthy and wealthy.
Mark has sold his chest - I would be very sad to see something so beautiful going - but that is just me. And he has added a few new completed projects to his collection. Bowl no 2 is almost done and beautiful like the rest of his work (I am not sure if he realizes that he has now set the standard for his woodwork and we will be very critical if the future ones are not up to par). He also had everybody guessing for a long time it seems on what his latest project was for. Which turned out to be........ta daaaaa wait for it....wait for it.....A tool rack with magnets instead of hooks.
Anne is not sure if the moss ball in Pinstripes and Bolds tank can be called a ball anymore, but it has been transformed into a tunnel and great hideaway for the turtles by the turtles. Pinstripe and Bold certainly like to have things their way and have no compunction about re-arranging anything not to their liking. Way to go Pinstripe and Bold. Tell us all how you like it.
Cathie G Recycles old newspaper and has the cutest bunny. But Mr Bunny - Floppsie, Mopsie or Cotton tail (They all fit the look of her bunny) does not like to be told what to do. She will choose whether she wants to go into your lap or not. So you better make sure it is a good lap and maybe just maybe she might hop in there for a sec or two. Don't expect anything more than that though, she is very fussy. We seem to be raising very opinionated pets in the CDR.
Kathy caught the virus going around the CDR but was a trooper and carried on with her daily business quite well. She even cleaned (steamed etc) our kitchen and bathroom in the CDR for us. What a star. Kathy have the vents been cleared yet, as I don't want to be the next one to get the virus. Kathy's garden is going into shock as it is going to be overhauled and will look brand spanking new once Kathy and her gardener are done with it. The container is going _ although I still say it will make a great tortoise house for all the torts. And the Blue agave have been planted. may they grow and prosper well in Kathy's garden.
Yvonne - Oh Yvonne.... She needs a new matress (anybody have a new one to spare?) and is being kept indoors with the rain. But don't worry I believe that there is not much to do outside so it is all good. As soon as all the little bits that need to be done outside are done, then Yvonne will be enjoying her cozy house with Misty and the cat.
Cheryl is still busy with the new tort and most probably the little ones that hatched a few weeks ago. Actually it is time that we saw a pic or two of the babies again please Cheryl. I cannot remember seeing too many posts from you this week. Are you still okay or are you still trying to recover from that nasty virus that we have in the CDR?
Lena is moving mountains with her new turtle - whose name is Avatar. Although it does not look like an avatar, if I remember correctly they were all Blue.But please check and have a look to see if you are missing any mountains in your corner as Denmark does not have any - which makes me wonder where her turtle is finding them.
Todd had a birthday this week. Happy Birthday again Todd
Ray is doing better but took a turn for the worse with an infection and high temperatures. But he said that he was doing much better once they knew what was wrong and he is on anti-biotics to fight off the infection and should be walking around with a new prosthetic by the end of the month. Well done Ray and stay with us, as we still need to find out what the name of your horse is and which desert it is in.
We had one or two new visitors in the CDR - @Kells Bells Welcome to the CDR. Don't worry we don't bite.....well not much anyway. But do watch out for the Hedgehogs, One legged Pirate, Leprechaun and the meerkats. They either cause nonsense, prick you or try and take your money. The snow leopard and penguins, Jellyfish and homework hound are the ones that are fine and will either light your way in these dark rooms, steal your carrots (but at least they are not eating you), want to be fed pilchards and or will sort out your homework problem. So all is good. Oh and Montgomery will bring you your beverage of choice in the morning and the evening.
Jaizei and Billna the 2 popped in and made a comment or two. Billna I think is a previous guest of ours but with a new name (I think) if I have it wrong then please do correct me for future updates.
Me (Carol) - Got sunburned over the weekend watching my sons hockey matches. It was exhausting and I wasn't even the one running up and down fields chasing hard balls with sticks to see if I could get it away from other people running around and chasing the same hard ball also trying to hit it with sticks. I so thought that we had moved past the stage of chasing things with sticks in this day and age. Oh well the caveman will always come out every now then I suppose. We have had some nice rain. Yayy which for Cape Town is absolutely awesome. I am hoping that it carries on through out Winter. I will be one very happy Capetonian.
And the story continues............
Your poor boy! Sounds like he (and you) have been through a lot, but I am so pleased he is feeling better now.Good afternoon! I don’t know if it counts for much, but I’m here [emoji23]...
