Thalatte, I'm so sorry about your bearded dragon, Joker. Is there another animal dying also? I hope not. It's always hard to see one of your babies die. Sorry.

I wish I were there at the sale. I saw a bunch of the gravy cups that I'd love to get. The center, blue one is really nice. I loooooove sales with older things. Things that they don't even make anymore. And, unfortunately, I can't go to the event in TN, although it's only 7 hours drive for me. I drove there once with hubby. It was a long drive! But, I drove 6 hours to take my tort to the Animal Hosp in Gainesville. Would have loved to go though. If maybe I had more notice about it. Anyway, I hope to post more tonight and tomorrow.

Maybe. One of my hatchling box turtles has been rather lethargic since coming out of brumation so far he isn't dead but it isn't looking good.

If it follows the current pattern he will die next weekend.


Apparently he overdosed on drugs... I am so surprised that a rapper overdosed...


That last part was about lil Wayne not me reptiles

I love antiques too. :D Last time we went through Ohio we passed by these two huge flea markets and antique places and couldn't go because we were afraid someone would steal the wheels and tires we were hauling.
A lot of the antiques I have either came from my grandmothers house or from my mom. It's amazing how stuff used to hold up.

I am sorry about your loss :(

My feeling exactly. That was when there were real skills in workmanship. Not today since everything is made in China now. Cheap quality, poor workmanship, and outright "don't give a hoot" attitude about making things for American consumption. They don't even care if they poison our children with the products they make. I can go on and on, but, in the end, it's the greedy Executives of these multimillion dollar companies that went for cheaper labor that's at fault.
Okay, that's enough of that. So, Kerryann, I read all is going well with work. What are you doing for entertainment lately? Did you check out the website I gave to Yvonne for the photo of me and the Bit-Wizards group who went to the play/ballet? It was www.facebook.com/bitwizards

I have a tortoise dilemma. I have been avoiding calling the different people that are housing the tortoises for me. I have been avoiding checking on them because if something is wrong I am very limited in what I can do. In addition, these people are trusted keepers that are doing me a favor and probably won't appreciate me asking for this past weeks diet, temps, humidity and overal health. The dilemma is I am dying to hear how they are doing but do not think I would be able to not ask a million questions and if something sounded strange to me I can't bring them home. So I guess my question is what would you do? Call or not call?

Call. If these are people you know then they should know how much you love your torts. If they are people you dont know then that is an even bigger reason to call.

I thought my sitter was experienced and that I had trained them well enough on what I do. They do an ok job but it isnt the best so I am constantly calling to remind them of things. You need to do whats right for you and your torts not do what makes the other person feel good.

Oh, Erin, call them. Just ask them is everything fine with your tortoises. After all, they are YOUR torts, and most professionals will understand your concerns. Even if there's something that doesn't sound right, talk about it. Tell them what you would do. There's no harm in that. Don't think that because they should know what they're doing that they do. Lots of things about torts are individualized and somethings work with torts, and other things don't. It's your job to explain what works for your babies. Call...it'll be fine, you'll see.

Your hair looks longer than it did in the Israel trip. You guys look so happy :)

You guys all fancy using The Facebook and all.

Pulled in over $2000.00 today at the garage sale. Two more days to go...I think it means things were priced too low. But moving the stuff was the objective and that has been good.

Erin I'd call but yes you have to be diplomatic. You will drive yourself crazy if you don't.
Ken.. How much stuff do you have to sell. That's good money.

That was the crazy part. People weren't buying them. I thought for sure they'd all go fast but nope. $2.00 each and the counter still has in the neighborhood of twenty left. Although that Wedgwood piece you like went in the first five I think.

Yeap. The picture came out terrible and out of focus. I took better pics on skydive. If you want to see those, along with some of the art work we saw before the play, just let me know and I'll give you the link. But, yes, the hair is longer, although, not for long. I'm waiting until it get's to a certain length, and then I'll get the hair cut just the way I want it. I'm also letting the silver gray grow out. It actually looks great with the blonde so that it looks like I get highlights in. My friend says it looks platinum white. Unfortunately, I'm the shortest and fattest of the group. I'm working on the weight part though. Can't do anything about the height :(

Figures. I also like the back row, right side, also blueish. Is that sold? Heck, if I were there, I'd take them all, whatever is left at $2 a piece. Shoot, I would have bought up half the stuff there. Too bad.

Sibi, if you want gravy boats I'll see what's left and pm you in the morning. I'd be happy to set them aside for you.
