Lol. I don't hear it when I talk. So not sure I have one. [emoji23] I will record myself talking sometime and then post it. Actually why don't each of us make a recording of ourselves telling a post instead of writing it down. Then we can all hear what each other sound like.
I had decided to stop doing turtle rescue just about the same time I had that cold a few weeks ago, and I re-recorded my message on my answering machine in my sick cold voice. It sounds pretty miserable (but I'm leaving it so people will feel sorry for me!!!).

Sounds like you're on the mend. Try to not overdo. Give yourself a good chance to heal.
Yes I'm well on the way, and feeling a bit more confident about using shoes.
I just think my foot would have more normal movements to strengthen it in shoes because the boot is obviously quite restricting - but any probs and I'll go back to it.

I was able to get close enough to my latest stray cat to get his picture last night. Here is Evander (the feline formerly known as Tony):

Evander.jpg

(so named because of his ear) He's not neutered and he thinks he has to fight with my young, neutered male (who also thinks he has to fight). Evander (the feline formerly known as Tony) always gets the worst of it because he's old and Mr. Kitty is still pretty young. I was going to trap him and have him neutered, but because he's old I guess I'll just let his fighting self live here and let him be.

Well I've just found my intruder!!
It's my mobile phone!!:D:D:D:D
No wonder the sound was moving around it was in my pocket!!
I've only had this phone for a couple for months - it's a cheap spare I bought when the touch screen on my other went berserk.
I haven't heard it before but it has a weird battery low signal that does sound exactly like a donkey with a sore throat!
So mystery solved! I can rest easy in my bed tonight!:rolleyes::)

This is TOO funny!!

When I was first promoted to Engineer at my company they gave me a pager. I had no experience with pagers.

In the old days, when I used to drive a lot, I would place my purse just on the floor by my feet. So I'm driving along and all of a sudden there's this intermittent buzzing coming from my car. "Well, Sh**t!" I can't afford car trouble." I pulled over and lifted the hood (bonnet) but, not being a mechanic, couldn't see anything that was making this sound. Well, yes, you've guessed it. It was the pager in my purse.

Hello guys, I know I've been gone a while but I was just checking in to tell you all that Merlin has successfully come out of his 4th hibernation at 5 months and 6 days! [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
Good deal! It's always a relief to see them after hibernation!

So, fellow roomies. . . is it heat or cold for a sore back? This a.m. I felt like I was going to have a muscle spasm in my back (lower back twinge) so I put off the heavy lifting outside and opted instead for repotting a few plants. I took a couple Bayer Back and Body (they contain caffeine and I'm a bit wired right now because before I realized about the muscle spasm and taking the pills I drank a Slimfast Advanced Energy and they also contain caffeine). So now that I'm in the house for the rest of the day, my back is really starting to complain. I'm ready to vegetate in my recliner, but don't know if I should get the heating pad or an ice pack>?>??????????
