Arcadia makes a 5.0 HO flouresnt type light. The CFL looped or coiled type UVB bulbs are hard on their eyes.
Is Oskaloosa in Florida? If so if you can get your tort outside 2 to 3 times a week supervised in the sunshine for a hr. Then you can get away from a UVB bulb. Sunlight through glass or screen dosen't count.

lol Oskaloosa is in Iowa.

thanks for the help though

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!?????

A Very Happy Belated Birthday Lyn. So sorry I missed it. Here is a rose for you.

 

[CarolM]

I just heard that the founder of my wildlife rescue, a lovely lady not much older than me, died suddenly and unexpectedly this evening. ?

I am devastated. I have learned so much from her. She was the most amazing person. I don’t have the right words.

Thoughts and prayers for her family and for all her rescue family would be greatly appreciated.

Oh no. I am so sorry Linda. I will definitely say a prayer for her. Electronic hugs.

This is by far my favorite forum/thread and everybody here is so nice, I like how there isn't any fighting or arguing and we can all have a nice conversation. I really appreciate this. At school we are are making a list of 50 things we are grateful for, and we have to make a list, on top of that, we have to pick a thing at home/school that whenever we see it, we have to think of something else to be grateful for. I chose this forum/thread. It is a nice escape from all the stuff happening out there. I think we should all be friends.
P.S. I think we are all already friends
P.S.S Gratefulness/Gratitude changes the mind
P.S.S. Thanks again for making me feel safe.

Aahhhh. You mean they haven't driven you nuts yet or got you talking in puns or making you chase after leprechauns for 20 bucks or walking through the desert with a horse with no name etc etc. Need I go on?????????????‍♀️?‍♂️?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️

I am Carol from Cape Town South Africa. And I am glad that the rest have been looking after you. Otherwise I would have had to catch a plane to somewhere and kick some buts....Just saying....

Everything went well and back at home. When they took the growth out and cut it in half. They found a peice of wood about 3/8" long. The doctor figured it was some debris that didn't get washed out after the accident.

Oh for pete's sake!

 

[Yvonne G]

Oh wait you were referring to farenheit and not Celsius. My bad!!! ?‍♀️

Yeah, isn't she the one who started a thread complaining about people not identifying when they're posting degrees?

Looks lovely. There was lots of snow up north in the UK today, but we had steady rain and gloom all day.

My in-laws celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary today. Sixty years of marriage gets you a message from Her Majesty the Queen no less! It used to be a telegram, but now it’s a very posh card with a photo of the Queen on the front and a personalised message inside. The envelope is clearly labelled as coming from Bucking Palace

JoesDad and his brother arranged for everyone to get together by Skype this evening which was lovely. It was really nice to be able to chat as a family and the in laws loved that their grandchildren and their partners were part of it too

Oh Wow. That sounds like it was a fantastic evening.

 

[CarolM]

Well, close to $900 later I now have two new ball joints, an aligned front end, and all fittings lubed and filters replaced! He said the ball joints were worn, but didn't look bad enough to have caused the problem, and nothing else looked like it would have caused my problem either. He even took it for a test and couldn't make it happen again. I opted to replace the joints.

Oh Shame Yvonne. A lot of bucks, but better to be safe. I hope that it is all sorted now.

 

[CarolM]

Good morning friends..

Really! Is it really Friday? Yayyyyyyyyyy????????????????

 

[CarolM]

Good morning all and Happy Saturday.
We've had some rain but think it's going to be dryish.
I think my neighbour is reaching over and cutting my tree again
Noticed yesterday that quite a few branches that have obviously been cut rather than broken because of weather.
So the wildlife camera is back in position and if I catch the bum on film this time I'll see a solicitor.
It's just relentless with them.
I keep looking for a new home but it's been quiet on that front, Maybe sales will pick up soon.
Have a good day and TTFN

I need to get a camera that is not too expensive to point towards the front of the complex. As I am sure there is someone in our complex who is deliberately destroying property to sabotage the complex environment / feelings between the residents.

Same here Maggie, but this isn't overhanging onto their property at all. My tree (large shrub) is at the closest 2 feet away from their fence I keep it cut way back so they have no complaints on that score. But they object to the height which I keep between 8 and 9 feet so are trying to chop it down.
Because they are reaching over the boundary and cutting the height it is classed as trespass and criminal damage here Apart from that it is just plain bullying. Their garden is all concrete and they don't like wildlife, whereas I like my garden to be wildlife friendly. This has been going on for years and is very wearing.

I don't know how you do it.

Well that’s great.. I hope that’s the last of your souvenirs!

 

[CarolM]

Wow.....everyone must be knackered.... ? No updates from anyone?

I thought that I would pull out a chunk of fallen cedar that i harvested a few years back now and make something, right? I mean, why pay for wood when I have some stashed away....

So, here is the start of “something” out of Cedar. Raw, Uncut.

I love your wood projects.

 

[CarolM]

I didn't realise you had covid Cathie, I hope you are feeling better soon and able to chat again.

Hang on. I started reading from where zi left off. How did I miss Cathie getting covid? I was wondering where you Cathie had disappeared to. I hope you ate better now.

 

[CarolM]

Good afternoon everyone, here is a pic celebrating Rose's birthday yesterday.
Hope everyone is doing good.

[CarolM]

Each day gets easier. Today's been way better. I can actually feel the virus is gone. I think if God hadn't given me these critters the outcome would be way different.?

I am so glad you are getting better.

 

[CarolM]

I've been trying to catch up a bit but don't have the energy yet but CarolM you are going to absolutely love the songs of zebra finches. With an aviary it won't take them long to fill it. That's their favorite thing to do! Make babies.

I thought about you when I got them. Their names are Ebony, Ivory and Govenor. ?
