stop with the crazy talk!
My theory is that I had to have been someone terrible in a past life. Like serial killer/evil dictator status. Now I have a massive karmic deficit. I tried to see if anyone died the year I was born who fit the bill and didn't come up with much. The only quirky one was L. Ron Hubbard.
Right now we are in limbo. No way to fix all the tires, no way to fix the transmission in a timely manner and still no word on when we can start the REAL process of buying the house that we are in love with and on the very cusp of being able to afford. Sitting in limbo is really distressing while we are on high alert about the vandalism and on a ramen diet to build up our funds.
Hurry up and WAIT is the worst!
Facebook thinks my uterus should be for rent, it keeps asking me to sign up to be a surrogate. Apparently I'm in 'prime' incubator range. That along with tons of 'baby' things. Ummm...no thanks. It's admirable, but the idea of any pregnancy freaks me out. No kiddos for me.
might be a way to raise money for a house. lol
But you did get the first bunch out to new homes? so congrats on that part atleast.
Good morning gang! It's cold and windy again today. Both the wind gusts and the temps are in the low 30s.
Jeff was suppose to be home today, but now are looking at tomorrow unless the winter storm keeps him locked down.
Not really. I have two male Russians and two 9 year old desert tortoises left out of that bunch. This a.m. I got the three rescue CDTs out of their hibernation box, and they're a whole lot smaller than I remembered. I think she told me they were about 10 years old, but memory is failing. I wrote about them here when I got them and remarked they were so small for their age. I soaked them and put them out into their quarantine yard. They made it through the winter in fine shape. One of them has an extra scute, so I'm keeping that one. The smallest one is promised, that leaves only one to find a home for.
It's a damn good thing I opened my desert tortoises' shelter this a.m. One of them had tried to climb the wood that's blocking the door and I found her on her back. She was cold, naturally, but still alive, thank goodness. No telling how long she had been on her back.
Doctor's appointments?
Cooooofffffeeeee.......
Looks like coffee zombies to me. Thank goodness I've never acquired that habit!
I like coffee, but caffeine destroys me. I get all jumpy and jittery so I do decaf or half caf.
Guys...I have eggs and I'm completely unprepared. Anyone had luck leaving them in the dirt and monitoring temps and humidity in a closed chamber type setting? I posted an actual thread about incubation and moving and whatnot, but I wouldn't mind your casual pretend chat style 2 cents.

I have a really nice incubator....ya want me to bring it to ya?
We might be able to catch lunch or something this week - what is your availability?
Currently I just have them in the dirt and they are sitting around 89 degrees and 80% humidity so I think they are okay where they are sitting right now. I'm debating just leaving them in the dirt and seeing what happens since we will be moving and having a bunch of stuff going on.
Has anyone had luck with that? How warm is too warm?

That's pretty much how mother nature does it . That's how I hatched my little red foot by accident.
I am waiting to get in for my chest xray. In order to go on a shot, they have to be sure I don't have tb.

"In order to go on a shot"????? I don't understand.
I took in 2017 rescue #9 this a.m.
It's a 10 year old CDT, and he is just absolutely perfect as far as shape goes. He's small for 10, but he was kept with an adult male, so I think that explains his size. He's a beauty. The only thing is the larger male was tested for micoplasma and tested positive. This guy, Herman, doesn't have symptoms, but chances are good he also has it now.
Herman has had an ongoing eye problem (looks fine right now, though)so I won't be able to adopt him out for a while until I'm sure the eye is ok.
For my eczema, it has gone balistic again. They want me to go on a twice monthly shot. Had to get blood work done and a chest xray. Once they decide IF I can go on the shot, then they have to find a way for me to afford it.
Jeff's home!
Yippie!!! Enjoy your time together! Where you guys gonna eat?
