I can’t wait to see more pics!

It’s been a very good day at the rescue today, two weeks ago this woman brought in two Russian tortoises she claimed to be fit and healthy. Both arrived with swollen eyes and runny noses. One unfortunately didn’t make it but I managed to get the other one to eat today:)
I've read that Russians can have Echinacea and like it. I use the extract myself and for animals also.

Well guess who is home for the indeterminate future? Our lovely governor has decided on a new definition of “Pub-blick” (pronounced like Ron White says it). So apparently my car is. Break room at work is. Walking to my car is. Etc. Sooo I have to be masked when in Pub-blick.

Anxiety. Depression. Claustrophobia. Having a reconstructed face from an accident that the masks rub. Breathing issues such as copd or asthma. None of these are “good” enough reasons not to be masked.

So... being that I have several of the above issues. I am not able to wear a mask 8-12 hours or more on a bad day. Doesn’t matter than I could be isolated in an office with no customer contact and very limited contact with coworkers.

So I took my aggressions out on my gym equipment.

Yay! -sarcasm-

Yea. It's pretty silly right now. All the rationing just makes me have to go out shopping more often. I'm high risk also. I'm elderly and have many breathing issues with high bp. Forget shopping online pickup at store options. Your order might be ready in a week or so. Right now, I'm like a vulture. I want to see something dead or help it along.??

EllieMay:: happy to spend the time with all the folks on here. And lord knows I can find enough stuff around the house to do. I still have a kitchen that’s mid-remodel.
Just frustrated about the rulings made here. And frustrated that I have to leave my coworkers and customers hanging.

My nephew has been stationed at NAS in Pensacola...SO..... Sister and I are taking a road trip!!(in July) I talked her into splitting a villa near the beach instead of just a hotel room . We are going to pack a lot in to just 3 days but I’m so excited.. so Florida one weekend and then the annual kayak \ canoe trip on the buffalo in Arkansas a couple weeks later.. I’ve got to get serious about my diet and workout..... knowing that, Ive fixed one of the last daiquiris for the season & I’m pairing that with some garlic baguettes and a smoked salmon spread..

Ps.. I think the stray dogs may have spooked the fox away.. no sightings and no camera footage..

Hello and welcome to the CDR. I’m Linda and I live in Kent in South East England.

We’re an international bunch of idiots /friends here who sometimes talk tortoise and fairly regularly talk puns and nonsense.

Pull up an armadillo, they’re far more comfortable than the toadstools, and the one-legged pirate will be along shortly to bring you your beverage of choice. The big armadillo is called Montgomery and is a very obliging coffee table, especially if you dust him or tickle him under the chin.

It’s rather gloomy in here, but the flying jellyfish glow a little brighter when you polish them. The blueberry ones seem to be glowing brightest at the moment.

Watch your step; it’s easy to stub your toe on the hedgehogs in the gloom. The wool spider, if she exists, seems to be in a better mood since we locked the leprechaun in a jellyfish tank. The snow leopard is very friendly and eats carrots :)

As for the stay at home thing... we have been doing it since March 24th here in the UK. Face masks required for enclosed spaces like shops. Having experienced Covid19 first hand through my daughter getting it, it’s a necessary evil. It’s the new normal ... try to keep your chin up. :)

Quiet in here..... you all are probably aware that there are plenty of shark teeth to be found along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. There’s an area not far from here called Chesapeake Beach that has high cliffs that erode in storms and release new fossils all the time.

People comb the beaches daily in search of cool shark teeth, most usually don’t find one. This area also has oysters...and the oystermen use large tongs to scrape the bottom in search of tasty mussels, but also find the sought after large Megalodon shark teeth...

Megalodon (Carcharocles megalodon), meaning "big tooth", is an extinct species of sharkthat lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago (mya), during the Early Miocene to the Pliocene. It was formerly thought to be a member of the family Lamnidae and a close relative of the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias). However, it is now classified into the extinct family Otodontidae, which diverged from the great white shark during the Early Cretaceous. Its genus placement is still debated, authors placing it in either Carcharocles, Megaselachus, Otodus, or Procarcharodon. This is because transitional fossils have been found showing that Megalodon is the final chronospecies of a lineage of giant sharks originally of the genus Otodus which evolved during the Paleocene.​
/From Wikipedia/​
Below is a recent pix of some Meg teeth (85] hauled up by oystermen from this area.

@Tidgy's Dad will appreciate & @Moozillion i think
