Pretend chat 2

[Jacqui]

See Clackamas is right up the road from us, as far as right up the road is.

Good thing he got out of there quick then huh? I told him I thought you were like 2 hrs from Portland.

He just let me know he has a load coming out of ID going to NY. His codriver is from NY and had wanted to get a couple of days at home. So this load is working great for both of them. Oh yea, my hubby has something for me, but he won't tell me what it is. Of course my guess is it's a turtle.

 

[RosieRedfoot]

Oof (says my bank account). Pretty sure 50% of my pay goes to pets, 10-15% to savings, about 12% to tax, 3% to gas, and that leaves the final small portion for me. Thankfully I don't have major debt/loans to pay, car payments, or a mortgage... Phew! My boyfriend pays for living costs like food/rent and I cover one utility bill, local transport (better mpg), and pet costs. Plus some food.

It's those setup costs of new pets that'll get ya every time!

Back to yesterday, when we showed Ellie the house, she didn't care about the tortoise pen or rodents.. She just wanted the Mazuri tortoise food! She almost got the container open, too... Smart critter she is.

Maybe we have too many pets when one of them has to bunk in the fireplace... It's sealed off and non functional, so I found it a function!



Dog food, crate, furminator, ice tea jug to refill the outside water bowl, and leashes. When she's here I'll put up pictures of her. As of now the foster mom has to go get her kids from school so it won't be for a little while.

 

[RosieRedfoot]

At first she cried

Then she slept


Dante is apathetic towards her which is good. Prince keeps staring at her after she growled at him. Will be a while till they can be all together but that's to be expected.

I figure having 2/3 crated and allowing one out as they behave will let them safely be in the same room, acclimate to scents, and still get people time with no fighting over us and can keep an eye so there's no pee marking. It took Dante a while to warm up to Prince (almost a year before they'd sleep side by side) but now they're inseparable.

Welcome to the old dogs' home!

I had to go through Clackamas this morning as it turns out. I gave the bird to every trucker I passed, figuring if Jeff was one of them, you could tell him it was me. LOL

 

[Kerryann]

Morning!​

Jeff would have loaded early in the dark am near Portland (Clackus or something?), with luck he has a reload and will soon be heading this direction. I am dreaming of having a "date" Tuesday or Wednesday.
A romantic date of picking up a "stranger" at the truckstop, driving to the Cancer Center to get the chemo pills, then driving to WalMart to get two of his other meds, and then driving him back to his truck. Who says romance is dead?

Romance is what you make of it.

You are so funny

Kerryann, here are those violas that have gone wild and Karen pulls like well weeds.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

I'm gonna double post this but I wanted to share it with my peeps first. I've dealt with these folks a few times and find them to be fair and consistent. This listing is for 1000 broad leaf plantain seeds and although it seems spendy, they reseed if your tortoise lets them last long enough.

Look at this on eBay:

Boo!

Sorry for not being around for just about forever, again. Life keeps getting in the way, but now seemed like the perfect time to return! I've probably missed loads. And, I will be rushing off again in a few days. You see, I have a honeymoon to go on...


So, yes, I'm married now! Got married on Saturday. No official pictures through yet, but here are some taken by guests:

The weather here has been spectacular lately. We had lovely weather for the wedding, and it's beautiful today. Hope it stays that way for our honeymoon. Here are a couple of snaps of Emrys enjoying the sun:

Also, six days before the wedding, I did my first official 10k run. Didn't manage to run the whole thing. It was very, very hot. Happy anyway!:

How are you all?!

 

[Jacqui]

I saw you had made a post, so I had to hurry and check it out. Major congrats for the wedding and the race! You did yourself proud it looks like in both cases. Enjoy that honeymoon!

If they are in your lawn they are weeds. If they have a designated spot then they are ground cover. This is how I see the world of lawncare.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

These are in the gravel driveway/parking area, and not in a designated spot as it were, just wherever they wish to be.

Thanks for the chuckle! Mine are no longer there Josh mowed them down, when he was here.

Almost right. If they are in my lawn, they are tortoise food and Joe grazes them. My husband tries to designate the ones in the borders as weeds and I count them as ground cover... fortunately I do more gardening than he does!

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

I just heard this and found it to be so applicable to me that I had to share, understand, I stole this one.
“If my body is found on a jogging trail, guaranteed, I was murdered elsewhere and my body moved!"

 

[cherylim]

I like to consider my garden to be a 'beautiful wildflower meadow'.

 

[Kerryann]

Cheryl you look beautiful!!!!! Congrats to you and your hubs.

Ken you are too funny

You tell that man Cowboy Ken said, “it's about time he made an honest woman of you!" Thanks for sharing with us.

 

[Kerryann]

I have an ugly meeting today.
