Ok I'll be honest I think ducks are nuts but I still like them. I raised some once. They all took off for parts unknown. Only one said goodbye and he was schmart alech about it. He whizzed by my ear bragging "look I can fly mom! and I'm outta here!"

That's why I'm really afraid to use my rainwater here in Arrow's tank. I would love to a little bit but also... my neighbor is getting them because he uses tap water. I think he has a leaky intake pipe but it could also be city water in general. I don't drink it and no one I know can. Arrow swims in ice mountain spring water.Snails are not a problem in small numbers. They have a large bioload for their size.
But if they get out of hand, you can end up with hundreds of them And they are difficult to eradicate.
Try squishing one with your finger on the glass of your tank. Your mollies should gobble them up!
Oh that is good news that she is coming out. But hopefully she follows instructions and starts exercising as soon as she is allowed to.Busy morning, but no photos sorry. I really wish I had someone with me to film feeding the young swallows in the pre-release aviary. Their flying has got so good now. Instead of just sitting on a perch waiting to be fed, they fly to me holding a pinch of food in tweezers and take it in mid flight. It’s amazing to watch them fly so well. They will be released very soon and head off on their long migration to Africa.
In other news, we just got told that Mum-in-law will be released from hospital this afternoon. We don’t know anything else.
She had a course of injections to break up the blood clots in her lungs and was on oxygen all weekend. I can see why they want to move her on... having a respiratory problem with covid around isn’t great. Exactly how mobile she actually is to be seen.
JoesDad is planning on skyping once she gets home so he can see for himself.
How would that club work and how do you let them know you have fallen.A cheap cell plan with no bells and whistles is $25 or $30 a month, and that's just the service charge. Phone calls cost extra. It's just not feasible for me to pay that kind of money for the privilege of being able to carry around an expensive plastic object I never use and have to remember to charge. I'm not a person who uses a phone, as my sister will confirm. A better plan for ME would be to join the "help I've fallen and I can't get up." club. That's about $ 20 a month and a much better deal for me. I'm considering it.
Dowan't one of your kids have an old phone from when they upgraded their cell phones? Then all you need to do is maybe buy a little bit of airtime a month. So basically you would work on a prepaid system.A cheap cell plan with no bells and whistles is $25 or $30 a month, and that's just the service charge. Phone calls cost extra.

Happy birthday to you ? Happy birthday day to you ?? you must have a happy with opo and Rose too.?Great story!
They have new monitors that sense the motion and can activate on their own when a fall is detected.How would that club work and how do you let them know you have fallen.
With mine if I set my little button off they send a squad if I don't tell them I'm ok. There's an alarm first and if I can I push a reset button. If I can't shut it off in time they call me on the phone. They won't give up until they speak with me personally. Some days have been funny. Me trying to get to that dang reset button in time or I gotta talk to them or the squad will arrive to escort me to a hospital.??How would that club work and how do you let them know you have fallen.
Thanks for the heads up. A very Happy Birthday Opo. ???Happy birthday to you!!! ?????

Are snails a problem? I mean they multiply, they have killed off one of the leaves of my Amazon sword plant... Does it get worse? I could make a French dinner for the cats...

It might not be available in SA. They send you a gizmo to wear around your neck and if you're in trouble you push the button on the gizmo and they send help. Doesn't need chargingHow would that club work and how do you let them know you have fallen.
