I was thinking box turtle (land), he was thinking painted turtle or red eared slider (water), so there are some things to work out. It's illegal to buy turtles in NJ so we'll have to go into Pennsylvania to get one. He keeps trying to figure out ways to combine animals in one tank and now he's thinking tadpoles/frogs on one side and small water turtle on the other. I feel like that would make cleaning the tank harder, and separate tanks would be easier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I've been working on science center stuff all day. I'm planning a science fair in February, I do workshops twice a month (was doing weekly but I decided to cut back), kids night out once a month, finalizing summer camps (people find camps in February around here). Lots to print so of course we are out of ink. I have it coming from Amazon by tomorrow night. I'm probably totally overwhelming my Facebook followers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was anti turtle due to the time commitment (50 years) but someone told me today that you can leave them for weeks and they just go into hibernation. If that's true my perspective has totally changed. 16 minutes ago, Where's Toto? said: And I decided to look for Reptile expos near me.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Today was my 5k test walk. Juliet and I drove to a very flat trail a ways from here. I figured out how to set my Fitbit up to sync with gps and to measure the distance of a walk. (Not available on all Fitbits). We walked 2.5k one way, turned around and then walked back. For some weird reason it said that I wasn't at 5k yet once I got back to the car, so I walked back and forth in the parking lot like a dork until it hit 5k. I was hurting by the end but managed to do it. It took me one hour 15 minutes to do. According to Google, a "normal pace" is to do it in 45 to 60 minutes but I don't think that 75 minutes is too bad. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I am exhausted. We worked at the old house today. I pruned the roses, and raked leaves and raked leaves and raked leaves. DS mowed the lawn, DH cleaned out the garage. The place looks pretty decent now. It looked horrible before, but as I told DH, our life has been falling apart for the past 2 months. It's amazing how mowing the lawn and raking leaves can spruce up a place. And then, I was going to use a gift card for a pizza place for dinner because I am too tired to make dinner, but I called to order out and they are closed for a week. That is not right. I ended up ordering pizza from Papa Murphy's instead. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's drawing: When I worked at the zoo, we had a ball python named Lucille (Ball) and another one named Monty (Python). The super big Burmese Python was named Miss U (misunderstood). Our corn snake's name is Galactica. It was Galactic (named by the kids when they were 7 and 9) but we figured out that she's probably a girl, so changed it to Galactica.

Slache Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Susan, thanks for the update. I'm glad it was simple(ish). I woke up nauseated at like 3:30 and haven't been able to sleep. Blah. A prayer request. My dad has been out of work over a month and is in trouble. He can't get a job because his car broke, he can't collect his Afflak(?) insurance because he can't go to the doctor because his account's overdrawn and he can't get a loan because he doesn't have a job. He's asking my uncle (a wretched human being) for a loan today so he can get a car so he can get a job. He says he's sparing me the details because he doesn't want to stress me out but that it's really bad. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Oops. I made everyone cry again. Everyone have some coffee and go look at John's drawing again. I'm reading a blog called narcissistic mother in law or narcissistic MIL or something, recommended by a hive member. Lots of good info. Explains a lot of MIL's behavior. I do not look forward to the wedding. Mine was a mess and all about her but this one is going to be a fight between the two. SIL has asked Matt to make it gender neutral and nothing about marriage being between a man and a woman.

They are decent when warmed up, but yeah, a little dry. I've more than half a mine to play with this dough I use for cinnamon rolls and fry it, see if I don't get a decent doughnut out of it. It's super moist what with the olive oil, egg, and almond flour. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I is tired today. For some reason our dog can no longer jump on our bed. He's a Brittney, so not real big, and our bed is a pillowtop thick mattress so is pretty high off the ground, but he's been able to get up there for the past couple years. He's not acting like he's in pain, no limping, no other problems. He just won't jump on the bed. Instead he scratches at the bed until someone wakes up. Before last night we'd yell at him. Last night I got up three times to lift him on the bed. Ugh. We're going to set up a step or something so he can climb up. I have to run over to the science center and do some cleaning. I still haven't finished cleaning from Friday, especially the mess from Kid's Night Out. Other than that, I'm just waiting for my ink to get here so I can do a bunch of printing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh basically built walls around our bed for privacy in the corner of our (used to be large) living room. So the bed is wedged in on three sides and there's only about a 2 foot path on the open side where the door is. And I have drawers in part of that. No getting around this being intrusive. Just have to come up with something we can either step over or around when we get up in the middle of the night. Preferably something obvious enough that I don't forget it's there and trip over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
