Jacqui stopped by for a bit today, and we had a great, but all too short, time. I enjoyed meeting her and talking about tortoises and families.
Met Jacqui!

I agree, it was much too short. We need another meet, one where I don't have such a tight schedule. How was your family dinner? I ended up having three of mine joining me for supper and we spent over 2 hrs talking. 
I love meeting members, because in your mind you have built up this mental imagine of what they look like and how they sound. Two of my children had met Mark before, so they and from what Mark himself has said, had added to my picture of him. It wasn't too far off and his voice was no surprise either.
.... and yes, of course we talked about ALL of you. Actually in our very short time, we did an amazing job of jumping around and touching many different tortoise subjects.

wow, your kids have met him but you haven't? Too bad I wasn't working yesterday.

Yeppers on both counts.

Ditto right back at you for taking things out of their complete sentence.
So when are we going to do that big Heartland TFO meet?
The Nebraska Herp Society has a big symposium coming up Oct. 5, 6, and 7 (http://www.nebherp.org/symposium.html )- might be a fun time to set up some sort of tortoise corner!

Does he have a deep voice? For some reason, I picture him with a deep voice. That's nice. It's too bad we all live so spread out. It would be so much fun, if we ALL could meet at one time. What a hoot that would be.

Yeah and as usual, nothing is related directly to turtles or tortoises.
Mark, did you not have your phone with you when you met Jacqui? Or did she make you sign a "no photos" contract or something?

Mark is a true gentleman and knows a proper host does not do things that would make his company nervous.
I'm in, if we do one. Jacqui, you never said for positive, did you get Susan? Because I want to see pictures of Susan! Also, apparently we had two HUGE yellow bellied sliders that someone adopted there earlier... I missed them too, darn it! Now we just have this RES that came in in terrible shape... poor guy

Deep voice? Hah! I make James Earl Jones sound like a little girl!
Actually, I have always thought I have a kinda weird voice, as proven by my radio interview with Alabama Herp Radio with Student of the Reptile- http://www.blogtalkradio.com/aark/2012/04/01/tortoise-talk[hr]

Besides- if I would have taken a photo of her, she would probably have tried to take one of me! The horror!

Yes, I got Susan. Yes, you had two beautiful and large yb sliders. They are currently in an outdoor enclosure with a buried preformed pool.
I can't believe their are so many members from Nebraska here, wouldn't it be neat to have a Nebraska tortoise meet!

You adopted the sliders too?? Hahaha, I wondered if you did
You should come back and adopt the RES, Jefferson, he needs a good place.

If I had saw him I would have, not that I need another RES, especially a male one. I do have another couple of old outdoor enclosures with various pools in them, that I am not using. He could have gotten some time out in the sun, which if he does have shell issues would have been ideal for him. Of course that would then mean having to keep a male RES area going, I don't put males in with my female group.
