HI Yvonne
Sorry for the late reply. I let my sully graze outside whole day in our garden but tucks her in for the night in a 75gallon tank as she's still small (around 450g). I live in the outskirts of the central business district, our yard is still mostly dirt/grass.
Summer here can be unbearably hot and humid, around 37C and can reach 70% humidity! Because of the weather, i have not used any artificial heating or UVB whatsoever on my sulcata. Even during rainy days, coldest that we got is 25C.
Cool - your father-in-law's from the Philippines
Do you know the exact place? Come here for a visit! Go to Boracay or Bohol island, it's like paradise. It was voted as the best island vacation for 2012Magandang gabi or Good evening again from Philippines
Good Morning!
I am jealous of you having cougar (cats) near you. A few brave males come into this area once in a great great while and of our course stupid folks have to go and shoot them first thing.
Anyone have any good shoe suggestions? I may be relatively young but my feet hurt after working 8 hour all standing shifts. I need closed toed (no crocs) shoes that also help prevent plantar fasciitis. Probably something like nurses shoes, but I do have wide feet which makes ordering online questionable to find something that works.

Funny, Im in the same boat, had a lovely injection into my left arch yesterday and let me tell you that felt wonderful... (yes sarcasm).
Here's a link for a variety of shoes that all claim there are for Plantar Fasciitis. Its all still new to me so I haven't tried them yet.

Have you tried sketchers? They have dressy shoes with tennis shoe support.

I cringed at the thought of that, why did you need that done?

My current pair of shoes are a $10 special from WalMart, which is my shoe allowance until fall.
They were white two weeks ago when I bought them, today for the most part they are grass stain green. I had to start wearing them for everyday, once the old ones had come opened on the side and even duct tape would not hold them closed. 
I saw the Sketchers commercial too, and thought I'd like to try a pair. But I'm not a shopper, so don't really know who sells that brand.
Hi Chatters!! I am sunburned, yay!! It was 77 today and I dropped everything and went out in it all day. Have you heard the Cicadas are going to be migrating from CT-NC in groups as big as a billion per square mile?!!! I hope they come here!! I remember I had to live in Milwauki, WI for a little while when I was 8 and the Cicadas came there that year and it was crazy!!
CtTortoiseMom said:
I never knew they migrated. It seems we always have them here and I thought there was something like a seven year cycle where their numbers became bigger. Wonder where I got that from.
Its a 17 year cycle, they mate, lay eggs, shed their exoskeleton and die, then the eggs turn into larvae that live deep in the ground and they surface every 17 years to do the mate & die dance. Well this is all according to my 8th grader but she is a high honors geek so I think it is reliable.Jacqui said:

I only wear asics and I love them. I have a narrow foot with a high arch and they work really well for me. My husband stands for 8-14 hours a day and wears Dansko's or Birkenstock water proof OR shoes. The Birkenstocks have even survived the autoclave when they got messy. I have a pair of Dansko's too and I love them because they give me a little height and look cute with any jeans.
@ Rosieredfoot was that you who saw the dog and were thinking about getting it. If so, my vote is YES!! I saw a Great Dane one day when I was picking up my basset from the groomers and his name was The General. They knew i lived Great Danes and offered him to me on the spot. I even talked about how in love with this dog I was on TFO but I was nervous because it was a huge male and my kids were very small ( this was almost 2 years ago now). I even remember Jacqui and DMMJ urging me to get him. Well I didn't and I still think about his sweet eyes to this day
.
It's funny, I even wonder how he is doing every so often and I never even met the dog.
Speaking of dogs, Yvonne did your camera break because it has been a long time since we saw Misty.

Well look who has come back to the chatting folds! Mrs. C., did you see Little Ricky and his clutch mate? Pretty wild the size difference, in that I think Little Ricky is large it's real weird for me.

Oh yeah I always at least have one pair in my wardrobe because they are comfy and i can wear them with dress slacks.
I wore them almost all the time when I was treating my Achilles tendinitis.Yvonne G said:
You can buy them on sketchers.com. I know that most of the department stores carry them and also DSW shoe warehouse, Famous footwear, and they usually even have outlets in the big outlet malls. I think I got my last pair at dicks sporting goods.

Hows the new house coming
Cowboy_Ken said:
Yes, I did. I think Little Ricky will catch up. He looks smooth, healthy & happy and that is all that matters

Usually running shoes aren't recommended for standing. I've thought of danskos. Tomorrow my goal is to sleep in, get laundry done, and go to a local shoe specialist that measures your feet and makes sure you've got the right size and support. They claim to specialize in ending foot pain for all day standing professionals like nurses and such.
I need to lose weight too to take off some of the extra strain. But for now, new shoes it is.

@ Kerryann, the new house is coming along great. For some reason the kitchen cabinets were very low and there is a lot of counter space that is unusable because of it and we are getting new appliances and I want the microwave mounted over the stove and there wasn't enough room for it so this Friday a contracter is coming to raise the cabinets to a normal height and add under cabinet lights and a river rock back splash. I am so excited!! He is also ripping all the wood off of the fireplace in the family room and turning a closet that is in the family room into a built in book case & desk area. People who are married to carpenters are sooo lucky, they can literally do anything!!
@ Sibi, I have green eyes too!!!

Wow, never thought so many of us had green eyes. And we know Cowboy doesn't. I think Yvonne doesn't have green eyes either.
I'm so glad to hear that things are getting done, and I'm sure that you guys will have a beautiful home. Don't forget to take before and after pictures.
