I M ONE
This happens to me! "How's Joe?" comes before enquiries about my family! :redface:ALDABRAMAN said:When the first thing your friends ask is how are the torotises!
We have a patch of grass at the end of our road that is mowed every couple of months by the council and otherwise ignored... The dandelions and plantain are healthy and plentiful - no chemicals as the council has an organic policy (i.e. Doesn't want to spend any money)
I really don't know what the people down that end think of the mad woman who's out picking stuff at 6:15am in all weathers before she's fed any of the family
You spend hours on tinypic in order to post pictures on TFO!
:shy: You never schedule a vacation during egg laying season!
If people catch you watching the bushes and stop to ask if you've lost something.
Actually, for those of you who imagine your neighbors must think you're weird for staring at your lawn: just bring your torties outside to feed for themselves at least a few times. Not only will that be a nice outing for your torts, but it will also show your neighbors why you're picking weeds, and might even be a good conversation starter to boot.
That's what I do. If people ask if there's something wrong, I just show them the tortoises. They always find them very interesting!

I try! But he's so tiny he can't be seen from a distance and a few of them have started giving me a wide berth
my upstairs neighbors and a girl one building over know what's up and love him but that's all that I've been able to entice over without just running at people tort in hand When you leave a party early because you are suddenly incredibly paranoid your tort has flipped and no one is home (true story from this weekend)
I gotta admit.... WalkingRock is one heck of a conversation starter!

If you pick weeds and dumpster dive, and you are neither a landscaper nor homeless.
When you spend time thinking of ways to sneak an extra tortoise into the collection with out getting caught by your other half...

Yep, it's called trading. I bet there are some others members here that have said this....
"I'm just going to trade this one that I was going to hold back and keep anyway. So I'm not really adding another mouth to feed."
When reading this thread makes you feel normal.

When you have your tortoise breeder on speed dial or in your cell's phone book.
