There are 50 bazillion of these little guys wandering all over my property. Yes, we did have a wetter than normal winter, but there are no water sources near my house and no puddles that stayed long enough for tadpoles to grow legs:

One has to be very careful where one puts her feet while walking around outside.

The pond?

 

[Jacqui]

Kathy, how are the kids doing in their contests?

 

[Jacqui]

Going to be 80 here today

 

[Jacqui]

Good morning all!

I can clear one thing up, I bought then from Outback Reptiles.

Hi Maggie how are things?

Actually, I am doing quite well thanks. Was working outside but then it decided to storm like hell now today it's just plain rain. But I weeded and planted pumpkins, and some stuff on Bob's grave. His carapace seems to still be normal looking , but I couldn't find anyplace that had body. So I don't know if I can dig him up and put him in his casket. So maybe at the end of summer.
Today it's housework. Yuck....
See her tongue sticking out? She's trying to wash her belly, only she's so fat she can't quite get there, so she washes the air.

Here's my little guy enjoying his mud bath!

 

[MPRC]

Yvonne, are those frogs or toads? Adorable either way.

He needs to keep practicing, so he can get mud all over his back.

He needs to keep practicing, so he can get mud all over his back.

He usually does, I'm not sure what happened.
I think it's so freaking cute!

"Don't look now, but I think the human has abandoned us outside for the summer."


Human.... now perhaps their appetites will become good again. They have become so picky this winter, turning up their noses at just about everything.

She's part Main Coon and is 28 pounds. Didn't you meet her at Kelly's? I brought her on my trip. She hates it.

 

[mike taylor]

Yes indeed ! She is one fat cat !

 

[Maggie Cummings]

Yes indeed ! She is one fat cat !

Well. yes she is.

 

[mike taylor]

So how are you doing Maggie ? Is everything all cool in the hood ?

When there's not much to do and I don't feel like reading, I look at all those strange sites advertised along the side of the Facebook pages. One I read yesterday was about what to do to keep early onset dementia away from your door. Naturally, it was some sort of commercial for the author's booklet, but I had to sit there and watch over 15 minutes of rhetoric before he got to advertising the booklet. But before I got that far, he mentioned that one good thing to stave off dementia was coconut oil. I have coconut oil here that I use on the tortoise shells occasionally. The ad said I could fry food in it or add a couple tablespoons to a hot beverage. I've been chicken to try it in my tea because I'm not really fond of coconut (unless it's a Mounds bar). Coconut-smelling shampoo almost makes me gag. Cookies that you don't expect to taste like coconut but do, do make me gag.

So whadaya think? Should I stave off my early onset dementia by adding coconut oil to my hot tea? or is it too late for me.

Purple foods are highly recommended especially blackberries (or was it blackcurrants?) See 'How to stay young' on BBC Iplayer for all the science stuff - there are 2 programmes - quite interesting and apparently vegans do very well in the longevity stakes.

Obvs hoverboard envy.

If you rode on one, you'd know why they were called hoverboards.

I'd like one that cleans the carpet as you ride - a hooverboard!

Just talked to Kevin . He is OK only lost a car to the Texas flood water . He has been helping with clean up . His neighbors houses down the road flooded . Helping them cutout sheetrock and remove flooring .
