I think I have that book, is it a coffee table book?

No, I think I got the title wrong - it is an old book, it has distribution maps, etc. Some of the data is outdated but it is still a cool book.

Is it the little book? Or is it the one with a green cover? Or...?? I have too many books and I can't recall their titles and am too lazy to get up and check..lol

I was first enamored with RES ~ they were very common in the ponds of the woods where I grew up (SE Michigan). And then when I found the box turtles trying to cross the roads in Kentucky, well, I was hooked. Had to be from afar, didn't know anything about turts or torts, and didn't have time... but now we have RV and feel very blessed indeed.

Nope, it is a hard cover, brown, with color photos in the middle. Like I said it is old, lol.

Let's see Kentucky would be Eastern box turtles? Is my memory right? So you just looked and never kept one? If so, your stronger then I ever was. :D

Totally serious. I don't understand. If my system crashes, I can't get anyone to return a call. If I decide to play on the forum for a little while, I get a call out of the blue. He'll get over it. The most he can do is block the site. He can't block my cell!!!

LOL that is funny :p

Jacqui, I have always been pretty strong when it comes to leaving the protected ones alone. I would love EBTs, Woods, and Blandings, but, sadly I know better :p

to be fair I would not want an employee using company resources on a non business site.

Yvonne, you never said why the lady gave up this tortoise?

Sorry 'bout that...I should have finished the story, huh.

So her husband died in the recent past, and she is now suffering debilitating ill health. Her kids don't want her going into the back yard when no one's there to help her and they talked her into giving up the tortoise. She was in tears. His name is Mr.

I retired from the phone company. Using the computer for internet that wasn't phone company business could get you fired. And they had IT guys that kept track of the online time and where it was. We learned real quick to mind our P's and Q's.

That is so sad. :( That is how we ended up with Elmer, the DT, I had. He outlived two sets of caretakers.
