I am thankful for TFO. I was already caring for my tortoises pretty much the same way as I do now, but I have picked up little pointers and ideas here and there. I did things like keep my substrate damp before coming in here, but never really stopped to think about why I was doing it and/or how it helped. I have learned so many new foods that I have tried out on my tortoises and plants to grow for them. I have meet some of the most awesome and generous folks in here. They share everything from their shoulders, their knowledge, their extra plants, and even helped me have money to care for a rescued Russian. The members here share bits and pieces of themselves and their lives. They make me laugh, cry, and feel more thankful for my own life. It has given me a place to go to let off steam, to ask (and receive) help, or just to spend time. I am thankful because this place and the wonderfulmembers have become my friends and family.
