Hi Steven
How is your evening so far?

Nothing........Bay Area football teams sucks. That is all I can say....

 

[mike taylor]

Hello people and Tortoises !

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Oh the HUMOR contained…yup, you get it.

Hello!!
So I have a curious question for everyone. Seems like a lot of you more active members post on this thread so I'll ask here.

Do some of you guys know each other in person? Has this forum made you good friends?

Just curious. Some of you guys know a lot about each other

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

And to flush out the hot water heater/pipes!

Smart one you are. Water heater forgotten completely I had.

@Bogie=babyDINO I've met a couple members in the flesh, spoken with others on the telephone and what have you. We developed (?) friendships where we actively joke and mess with each other. Personally I'd probably not know any of these Texas folks if not for the Forum. As for me being a better person do to the Forum? Probably yes. I've had reptiles most all my life and tortoises for way longer than I want to admit age wise, and it's nice to interact with others with the same motivation as in proper animal husbandry with tortoises. Does all this help? Also, welcome to the thread where the cool kids hang out.

That's really cool! I got on this forum just wanting some information and now I'm hooked. I can see everyday it not just about informing people about care but their is an online tortoise community here. It's just really interesting to me. And our tortoises are the source behind it! So great!

I'm with you there 100%! I've a friend I've become very close with from the Forum. He lives in the Middle East, and yes, he's a devoted Muslim. I once pointed out to him that here the tortoises of all things brought a Cowboy from the USA and a Muslim from the Middle East together and as friends. Maybe world leaders need tortoises as home time companions.

We ate out so much this weekend that I feel like one big blob

I had lamb Wellington for the first time and it was delicious!!

You must be mistaken. Barb is never a lamb.

 

[Yvonne G]

Sorry about your back. Yvonne.

Thanks, but it's no big deal. It always gets me to have to walk around outside to all the potted plants watering them. I must unconsciously be sort of leaning over or something. After I've sat for a while with a little pillow at the small of my back it's all better!!

 

[Yvonne G]

@Yvonne G How is your back? or bavk??

LOL! I noticed that Jacqui corrected her post. I was thinking I was supposed to be bivouacking or something.

 

[Yvonne G]

So that I don't confuse the iSpy gamers, Yvonne here are some boring San Antonio skyline pics from today. Terrible quality as the passenger of a moving vehicle lol.

Hi Kelsey:

That's really what this thread is all about. I've met one or two of these weirdos in person, but mostly we just know each other here. I love this thread. It makes the people we talk and listen to much more real to me. Spend some time here and let us get to know you too.

@Bogie=babyDINO I'm guilty as charged here. Yvonne has met me this last summer. We had a small PNW meet up up here. A bunch of tortoise loving weirdos getting together. We had a blast of course.

 

[Bogie=babyDINO]

Well I have found a new passion so you will be seeing me around. I'd love to get to know all of you! Tortoise lovers unite!! lol....okay maybe not but shouldn't we have a slogan of some sort?

 

[Yvonne G]

Go for it!
