I have been following your progress and I am happy you are doing better with some things and sad you have to see that other doctor in 5 months. (But get that fishing tournament in first, I would! 😝).
❤️🙏❤️🙏
Now you got me REALLY confused....🧐

Good morning all,
Wet, windy, cold with sunny showers here today - a mixed bag of weather for us.
I hope everyone is well and has a good Thursday.
Very sobering news to wake up to this morning, but my thoughts are with everyone going through the nightmare in Europe :(

That’s why I kept it chefdenoel.
Yvonne G is the smart one. 🙂
You are so full of bull s*it!!!
Yvonne G is not necessarily
so smart, but
she has experience that goes back
to the Jurassic era. Your
advice on Sulcata is always
right on. And you are funnier than heck!!!
Simon is hiding...lol

It’s almost 40 degrees colder this morning than it was yesterday afternoon. We missed breaking a High Temp record (set 150 years ago) by one darn degree. Regardless - it was too balmy & muggy.

Terrible news indeed - an outright military invasion of Ukraine. 😫🇺🇦
So cold here...and I'm stuck to the tv since about 1 am.freakin 12 degrees out there and poof!!!!! Some speeder on the hiway slid on the ice and knocked over a telephone pole and out went the power...so after abt an hour I went out to the tort shed, piled up 4 small torts, brought them in the house and each in a tub with heat aspen bedding; then tried to figure out what to do for Mary K...take a hint...do not plan on CARRYING a 40 lb angry so strong Sulcata and keeping it comfy in a bathtub.

Have a good day all!20220224_182621.jpg
Today two kids were playing at the bottom left, at low tide a pool forms. After low tide an encroaching wave swept them over the rocks and pulled them over, sweeping them against the rocks and shells.
They screamed for blue murder, after a few moments, dad jumped in, grabbed both under his arms, and took a few bashes against the rocks.
He took them out, and all three got into an ambulance and left, hopefuly they are all ok, no one bled even after being swept on the shells, so I think they are hopefuly ok

@maggie3fan , hopefuly your power comes on soon, I didn't know you had other torts, I remember you have a russian, a boxie, and Mary K, do you have other types? Hopefuly Mary K stays nice and warm in her shed for now.
Which also reminds me, @Yvonne G has that lost russian tort resurfaced in your yard?
Yes, I have several species, 3 Russians I will be taking to Y in the Spring after the snow melts, a buncha box turtles, 1 water turtle, 11 parakeets and 2 cats. The power was out for about 4 hours, yet you see my house has power so I started investigating...I found a blown open CHE which tripped the breaker in the shed. photos to follow...

Ok now I know there are 2 Yvonne's. Definitely doing the fishing tournament. I know the other participants were happy to see I wasn't there for the last few years. I fished the Ludington port for over 20 years. I had been known to be a contender. I never won the tournament but always been in the top 5 except the first year I came in 10th.

What a terrifying experience!
I hope they are all OK

Yvonne pops in now and again but is still pretty active on the forum, and Heather (aka Ellie May) popped in a couple of weeks ago to say a quick hello, but she, Linda and Carol have all scaled back their time here. It's a shame, I miss them, but maybe they are busy with work, families and life in general. :( Hoping they're all OK.
Oh yeah Linda and Carol also. I wish I had the excuse of being busy. I just cant get moving. Need a attitude change.

No. I keep watching for him but so far he's a no show!

This is what I discovered...

I don't understand how that happened...it looks like it got hit....but nope it's not in a position to get hit.......however, when it blew it killed my last 3 incandescent basking bulbs.

I guess this Russian was not very pleased with being put in a strange tote over night.......won't eat hay either...smells

Yes. It's very sad.
