Oh No Ray. Can the Doctor not give you a different anti-biotics?
I am a stubborn kind of guy. Plus my attitude is going south. But my wife did get me to the doctors and now on a different antibiotic. Doctor mentioned going in the hospital for care. But I put a stop on that suggestion. Still can't upload a pic. Seems to have started with these pop up ads. Noticed you all have been talking about it but haven't read in detail if anything has been done. I will pop in tomorrow.

Sheldon’s tests came back as cancer. He is helping us accept this diagnosis by destroying his brand new mattress. So not happy with him at the moment. The doctor said that we need to watch his appetite, breathing and energy level. He said if it spreads it will more likely go to the liver or lungs. He said on a scale of 1-3, it was a 3. That’s not good. He said it could come back in a month, year, or never since he is so old already. He still seems like he feels fine just loves to drive us crazy while we are gone. The neighbor is having a new fence built and the machine they were using was beeping a lot. He can’t handle beeping so he tore up his bed. I try not to leave him alone for more than an hour but today we had an awards banquet for our daughter. We have him meds to help, but the beeping was too much. The good news is, he didn’t destroy the walls in the hall like he has done in the past. I’d much rather him destroy the mattress.
Aw, poor old guy.

Yea the personal promotions are trying to get me to buy ash blonde hair dye instead of animal stuff. Whatever... I'll look for the three of you tomorrow.

We are having quit the poppy super bloom here in southern Ca.
I’m not sure about up north where Yvonne is.
People are stopping traffic on the freeway and causing back up and parking along side which is dangerous so now you have to get shuttles.
Here’s around our town.

Somewhat chilly, but you are in Canada! Spring gets there later!

I’m Linda - as you probably gathered from FB - and I live in Kent in south East England. Welcome to the CDR Olivier :)

Thanks... My tortoise garden is really coming along! For me, it’s a huge accomplishment! On one hand, I can’t wait to get Toretto moved out because I’ll know he will love it... on the other, I’ll be a nervous wreck with the change for a few weeks I imagine... Lol! Once he is outside, I will convert his big indoor enclosure to a “double decker” and Pickles and Crusher will get an upgrade . They have really grown a lot too.

I’m feeling fine! It’s very difficult for me to limit my activities but I really do try to be aware.. I’m too impatient for setbacks! Now days, the modernization of procedures is amazing and everything is so much less invasive.
I had a "laparoscopic hysterectomy" back in 1991. I was back on our truck in less than a week. And I'm sure the procedure has been refined since then. Truly amazing what they do now.

Then you will fit in perfectly over here. Welcome to the CDR, I am Carolyn but everybody calls me Carol and I live in Cape Town South Africa.
Whatever you do, don't lend money to the leprechaun, you won't see it again. Watch out for the hedgehogs they are painful if you step on them in the dark. And if you poke a Jellyfish or two they will light the way for a second or two. Remember to wear a jersey or jacket as it gets cold in here and the hats, scarves and mittens are in one of the corners somewhere (I forget which one) and they were knitted by the Woolspider (if She exists).
Thank you! I have to learn who all is in here besides us loiterers. [emoji6]

He is also gorgeous. What about Snow White?
Well, he's a he and she's a she...actually my husband is from Alabama. Univ of AL colors are red and white. So he asked if we could call him "Bama". Being a smart wife, I agreed immediately.

I had proposed"Rocket" because he looks like one, but Bama it is (at least out loud...still Rocket in my head)
