No, I have Not!
Couldn't.
Terrapin is only used in English for several species of turtle including red-eared sliders.
Nobody else uses the term I don't think.
It's not proper taxonomy.

In the USA we use the term a little. Mainly when referring to the diamondbacks.

 

[Lyn W]

It is.
And they are quite spectacular.
Only good thing about the place, really.

It's always something I've wanted to go to but not managed it yet - keep forgetting my passport to cross into England on the Bridge

 

[Lyn W]

Hello. Hope you're all well.

Hi Gillian how are you - sleeping any better?

Ok I don't like dogs and I'm SCARED of them, but I must admit the photos are great! Strange isn't it?

I LOVE the photo of the tort! GOD bless.

Yeah, and all the vaccinations and changing the currency.

I do love rain. The music it makes, especially on an old tin roof. The way it smell so fresh, like it wipes away the bad and gives earth a fresh start. The magical way it can turn everything green and bring fouth the blooms. I love stomping on mud puddles and rescuing worms.

However after a couple of weeks, it is getting a bit old.

I love the rain too especially when it stops the rowdy neighbours next door having very loud BBQs

Rain does not seem to stop folks around here.

It's usually cold and wet here which seems to put them off

Here it stops the kids playing kickball in the street.
Which is good.

Hi Gillian how are you - sleeping any better?

Hi Lyn. That's so sweet of you to ask! Thanks so much your question.

Slightly better but I'm still not getting enough sleep at night. I know I could make up some sleep during th day as I have nothing much to do but... I do not believe that sleep during the day really does make up for the lack of sleep at night And NOBODY and NOTHING could convince me that if I sleep during the day it's better than nothing, It is NOT!

Once again, thanks so much your question Lyn-you really are a true friend.

 

[Jacqui]

I have been known to BBQ in the snow.

Hi, Gillian, hope I'm a true friend too!!
You are quite right, sleep in the day is not the same as night sleeping.
Though I would say it's better than none at all.
Also, if you sleep in the day, it's harder to sleep at night.
Wifey says 'Hi!', and so does Tidgy.
Tidgy also sends Oli a kiss.

Goodness, you're another one who likes rain. I do NOT!

 

[Lyn W]

Goodness, you're another one who likes rain. I do NOT!

In small doses only Gillian - and when I want a quiet evening.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Gillian, please ask Oli if his intentions towards Tidgy are honourable and serious as she has had another offer of a relationship from another tortoise on the forum. Tidgy is happy to stay as Oli's girlfriend if he is committed to a relationship.

I would find it very difficult to sleep in the day too because I need complete darkness to sleep - can't even have a digital clock in the room as the light from the numbers keep me awake. - think I may have been a tortoise in a former life!

Hi Adam. You needn't ask such a question...of course you are a true friend and a really true friend!
Now please don't take this personal: anyone who does NOT have trouble sleeping at night would say your exact same words. I've tried sleeping during the day. It did not do much and obviously did not solve the issue. And whether I sleep or not during the day, I may/may no sleep at night. The issue is much harder than anyone would think.

Regards to Wifey, to you my dear friend, and KISSES-plural-from Oli to Tidgy.

Fair enough.
I won't take it personally, of course.
Friends can have a difference of opinion.
But i do understand we are all different and it is a problem for you.
Hope time heals this problem for you.

I have been known to BBQ in the snow.

Now that's determination for you and I suppose the snow keeps the bottles cool!
