We were talking at work on Friday, how foods you had a lot of as kids, are foods as adults you dislike. Funny to come in here and see the same type of conversation.

Spent some time in a waiting room yesterday, they had the GSN on the TV and almost every commercial break had this in it,View attachment 193720 We stopped at a walmart on the way home and as soon as you enter the store there they were, so I had to get one. It does everything that it says it will do in the commercial. Will be up that way tomorrow. If they still have some I will pick up another.

Never heard of it.

Just curious - when you're speaking French, do you actually think in French or do you first translate in your mind then put it into words?
I can think in French for the basics; the words just come out.

Because I'm not as fluent as I was I have to think harder about the vocabulary if the conversation gets longer. I do end up mentally translating before speaking.

How is everyone on this chilly morning!!
We have had very early soccer games this weekend and it's freezing out!! I'll be wrapped in a blanket on the sidelines in a minute!
It's my son's last game of his soccer career ! After 9 yrs he's done and ready to try football!

Also, this may be a random question, but does anyone know the pH of tortoise poo?
Because it's a beautiful new day filled with promises and possibilities, so why waste it sleeping?

Tell me that Friday evening and I will believe you.

Quick question. Does anyone know the pH of tortoise poo? I'm looking into using it for manure/fertilizer, but curious of the pH. I can always test it later for certain. Long time ago someone said reptile feces were acidic, but that could be from the urates/uric acid. I'm just curious of the brown stuff.

I have absolutely no idea. I just put Joe's on the compost heap.

@Yvonne G was saying the other day that Sulcata poop is somewhat slow to rot down.

I assumed it would be a good fertilizer. I guess tortoises would be much different from other reptiles (snakes/lizards) as they are herbivores. I usually either blast it with a water hose until the pile melts away or dump it on a grow bed for next year's tomatoes.

I never really see urates all that often.
