What has the asbestos?
I think mostly the floor. The ceiling has rodent and cat urine and feces as well. So they are ripping out the whole inside.

I have been in this office for a little over a month, and 2 weeks in came down with a cough.

Enviromental came out and shut it down and kicked me out.

I don't know how old my tort is, but I've had it for just over four years. When I take it out for a walk I follow it step by step. A lady once saw me and said: 'Goodness-you must be a very patient person to have chosen a tortoise as a pet, let alone that "walking."' She is right, although I don't know her: she was a passer-by.
I know her!
It was Meriam.
She was right, it takes patience to walk tortoises.

You bet! And HOW MUCH PATIENCE :D

But on the other hand, I chose it. It wasn't a pet imposed on me. Had that been the case things would have been different, I think.
I didn't exactly choose Tidgy.
I couldn't leave her to die in the house where she was.
But I am so glad I took her.
The joy she has brought into my life is incalculable.

Is was eating lunch the other day in a Pizza Hut and these two young guys (20s) came in. They really were eager for the bathroom, but the men's room was in use. So the other one, just went on into the women's side. Have you ever been desperate enough to do that? I would think the men have an advantage, because I know standing to pee is not something I like doing. I so prefer the ladies having a seat to sit upon. :)
Yes I have ! All the time ! Sometimes I go into the ladies room because its clean .

Very nice of you, Adam.I personally was bored to death, frustrated...and so on. Someone suggested a pet, adding: 'A dog or a cat would give you company.' I'm not very fond of cats and as for dogs....I'm scared to death of them! Sounds funny, I know, but I cannot help it. So I decided to go for a ....TORTOISE.:<3: Though Oli gave me a lot of trouble at the beginning, I am now deeply in love with both OLIs: my tort and Kahn. :<3:

Use an app on your phone to count your steps and miles. It's really cool to see how much you actually do in a day. I use the Fitbit app and you don't need a Fitbit.

Don't you hate when your big dogs nails gouge your feet or toes? OMG, my dog just got me good when he got startled. I sat down and whined like a baby as my other dog was licking my face worried.
