We have a turtle. She is a red-eared slider named...are you ready?? Skurtle. sm

In Reply to: Anyone have unusual pets? - Marie

Our son named her. She is about 5 years old now. She started out the size of a silver dollar and has progressively increased in tank size. She started in a 5 gallon tank and is now in a 125 gallon breeder's tank. If I had known then what I know now.....LOL. She has a night and day light, she has her basking light, and she has a UV A&B light since turtles to not manufacture calcium themselves. She will eat those little feeder goldfish out of our hands and will eat her normal turtle stick food from our hands too. We have a TON of her plates or whatever it is they call the things on the shell from when she was just little to now from when she sheds them. It is really interesting to watch her just live the life of a turtle. Eat, sleep, poop, and swim.

We have 4 cats and 1 turtle...all named by my son...sm
The white cat is named Spotty because when he was little he had a black smudge between his ears. Now he is all white. Our black cat is named Ping Ball because he sleeps all day and pings off the walls all night. My oldest cat is named Mittens because she has extra toes front and back and her front paws are shaped like little mittens. Our big fluffy Maine coon cat is named Sashee. We named her Sassy at first. DH used to call her Sasha. Then we went to get her fixed and found out that SHE was a HE. So Sashee is a combination of both.

Our turtle is named Skurtle. Yes, close to Yertel, but the son was insistent. LOL.

My dad had a German shepard when he was growing up named Soxapuss. Not a clue as to that one. LOL.

Sometimes if you just wait to see the pet, a name will just pop into your head. But in our case, it helped to have a little kid.
I have a Chihuahua named Mione. My daughter named her after Hermione from Harry Potter. I also ha
We also have a hamster named Sandy.
I have LG chocolate (flip not slider) and my best phone ever (sm)

My 2 years is up and I can upgrade but I don't want to.  It is a really pretty phone, kind of black mirror with silver trim, not super tiny, a really nice weight in my hands, the sound quality is excellent, batteries go about 3 days then I recharge (never turn it off) and I've dropped it quite a few times with no probs.  The back is scratched up but not too bad.  The keys are not super awesome if texting is super important to you, but I do some quick texting and no probs.  The speaker part of the phone is so-so... not good enough to prop up and have a group use it, but works good for when you don't want to hold the phone to ear, like to write something down or whatever. 

Chex Mix Turtle
I can polish off the whole bag in one sitting!!
turtle is also very good - nn

Cement turtle with seashell-adorned shell on my
doorstep. Rabbit-ears on my TV set have a colored pinwheel attached to the end of one ear, so I don't bonk my eye on it if it's turned in the direction needed to get channel 5! ;D

Lots of my stuff is purple, (even though my rug is brown.) Three cat-beds & two litter boxes (for ONE cat!) Computer desk takes up almost 1/2 of the living room! :(

The rest of the apt. looks like sporting-goods store exploded in the middle of it.
well, I'm all ready!
slow with work today so went and stocked up on milk, drinking water, batteries and candles.  Going to type for one more hour and then going to finish the laundry and cook up a bunch of stuff just in case we do lose our electric.  We usually do when there is an ice storm.  Did someone say there is another storm coming Sunday?  Haven't heard about that one yet.  Wonder if it will hit Ohio too.  I need my electric!  I need to work!
Only when you are ready
It might be too soon for you to wear them, but you don't know how you might feel in the future. If it feels weird right now, put them away for awhile. In a year (or 2, or maybe never) you may want to wear them, but I don't think now is the time to make a decision either way.
Ready, set, go
Have short trip to Las Vegas with husband and then my own trips will be to Canada (Rockie Mountains, western part) for about 10 days, Washington, D.C. for a week and perhaps a gambling trip to Foxwoods & Newport but that is an iffy one.
I saw that too. He had that look like when he's about ready to BUST
l
Looks like you are ready to party.
I'll be right over. LOL Have a nice weekend. Plan on having a couple of cocktails myself. It has been a long week.
Let's get ready to..........transcribe! lol

Ready for round 2... sm
I have been seriously considering having it done a second time, which my doc had said might happen. Periods aren't *that* bad, I just don't want them any longer! ;)

My cousin had it done in the office and the pain was so excruciating, they had to stop the procedure. Apparently the machine was on trial, and they have since decided not to perform in-office procedures. Fortunately, she hasn't had a period since.

I highly recommend having it done. Best of luck to you.
Thank you. Will just wait until they are ready. nm

Christmas, not ready!
I can't believe I spent some of my grocery money to get a Christmas tree when I have nothing to put under it, duh.  Heck, I didn't change my calendar from November to December until December 12th.  Now I realize it is less than 10 days until Christmas.  Maybe I can go to the Dollar Store, lol  I guess there are a lot of people not ready money wise or mood wise this year, right?  Even watching the news is depressing to me, all the talk about donating and giving when I cannot do either this year.  I guess medical transcription is the wrong profession for me since I cannot make any more money than I could at a fast food place, lol, but I cannot figure out what to change it to.  Thanks for listening.
Wow, you are always ready to defend
your lack of self-control. If you have to use a credit card you CAN'T afford it. If you have to finance it, other than a house, you CAN'T afford it. When you use a CC you are not using your money, you are using someone else's. Just accept that some have a different opinion than you and you will get a negative reaction from time to time.
I agree. When he's ready, he'll want to do it.

business. Get lost because I'm not ready! nm

Was just about ready to post cat on the beagle
I am former owner of pedigreed female Beagle with the best tri-coloring One has ever seen. I not longer own her, cannot go there at this time. I will try to post my precious Pinkie at this time. If I can't oh well Note: She lives in Hawaii. I am her grandmother. Sorry could not upload her! Tree-Walker Hound she is
Is China ready for the Olympics?



















I'm jealous that you have garden food ready now...sm
Good luck keeping the critters out so you can eat it all yourself!
yes, i have to say it did, but my kids were ready too, so i do understand how u feel
nm
I'm always ready to share pics of my dogs..sm
I'm going to be in real trouble when I have grandkids if I'm this crazy over my dogs - I do have two granddogs - Golden Retrievers, but no pictures of them to share at the moment.
to be cheap - I buy ready made blankets
big lots, target, saw them somewhere in an add for 2.50 in yesterday's paper - that does limit your size but I'm making them for no reason - it is very therapeutic for me - just really got into tying those knots - made them for my daughters at Christmas (adults) and now I am thinking it would be good to keep one in cars too, for trips and in case you got stuck and it was cold because they are warm!
I am more tired getting ready for a holiday than if I were to work are you?

I don't know about this "Easter Bunny" business.  I have today off and there is not much work anyway, so I decided to get ready for Sunday (I have 3 little kids).  All I did so far today was go get my daughter a dress, and my boy an outfit, got all the basket stuff together and put them together.  Then, I worked on me, day of beauty stuff, hair, etc.  I have not worked today, yet doing these things I am exhausted! And I still have to dust, vacuum, declutter office, and bake a cake. Not to mention clean my sons' bathroom (eewwwww).  I am putting all that off until tomorrow. Does anyone else find that although transcribing can lead to fatigue at times that doing chores and getting ready for holidays is more tiring? 


Ugggg, calgon take me away.... Happy Spring Holidays everyone!

Are you ready to be brave? Take a deep breath...
Then do it and close your eyes real tight and be glad the minute you have done it (calling to have him picked up for psych eval) Then once you have him out of the house you can keep him out with a court order. Your life will improve. Are you Ready???? Be BRAVE! I was!!!
Amy, your halo is ready anytime you want to pick it up! //

I'm with you. I live in west Michigan. I am more than ready. nm
nm
I'd be interested...email me with site when it's ready!
I love accessories and all that that entails *sigh*
I'm getting ready to buy a fixer upper and do all my decorating and designing myself. SM

So I've been watching him and a lot of the other HGTV design shows, etc.  I want to save money, but I want everything too look expensive, ya know?


I loved what he did with the silk too, but problem is I don't sew.  I don't even know how to operate a sewing machine, soooooooo anybody wanna make a buck?  :)

Night person all the way...Around midnight I'm ready to roll!!! nm
n
I have on my "Let's get ready to stumble" shirt with leprechaun on it. (sm)
This is one of my favorite holidays. Not a lot of stress and bother to celebrate it like some of the others. Just relax, wear green and sip on a cold green beer later today.
I've been ready for Brooke to go home for weeks!

Never have liked her.  She seems fake, her voice is weak, and I hate that little pouty face she makes all the time.  No clue why she is still there.


I'm still cheering for David Cook.


 

I'm ready to stand on the corner in short-shorts. nm.

I'm getting ready to make a boxed cake mix, but I'm out of veggie oil

Can I substitute melted margarine for the oil?  I don't have any applesauce.  I do have some Miracle Whip, but wasn't sure about it.  I don't want to go to the grocery store.  I'm at home alone, kids are gone, I'm working and feeling pretty productive, and then BAM the PMS chocolate attack strikes and and me without a Hershey bar in sight!  So I thought I would whip up a devil's food cake mix and get back to work. 

Nope ~ used to have a cat named Sam...
now have 2 cats, Lucky and Tripp, and a shetland sheepdog, Casey, which was on my list of baby names, but DH didn't like it.
Cats named Bob

We name almost all our cats Bob, but we have last names, which we call them by like:


Marley, Bob


Eubanks, Bob


Dylan, Bob


Barker, Bob


and my friend had a Maine Coon named Joe Bob!  He was huge! 


 


We  cats here too, but currently don't have one.  Maine Coons are darling. 

A red Pomeranian named Fox (see pic)
Hope the link works.
Dog named Bo (Bo-Girl) nm
NM
Cat named Cali..sm
she's a calico-colored kitty!
Yep, I know of a person named -- sm
hunter greene. I also know of a young lady named Kinda Foxxy. lol
I would have named him Chops.

If there is a will but no executor named, then
the state steps in as executor and makes sure that the heirs named in the will get their rightful share, according to your grandfather's wish.

Only in the case when there are no heirs and no will, the assets go to the state.
here's the list...it would be great if this country were ready for a female or black prez...
but it just ain't gonna happen.  Daughter of a politician (so I know how it rolls)    Cat

Yikes!! She named names!!
   
Thanx! Saw a boat named that once, but it suits me better!

I have a Red Heeler named Eddie, a
an African Grey Parrot named Casey.
A doggie named Auggie. (nm)

a cat named Dogfood - that is awesome! nm
OJ Simpson is named a suspect
in a break-in at a Las Vegas casino hotel room.  Supposedly  he went into someones room and took items that he said belonged to him because they were stolen from him. Can't wait to hear the rest of this story.  Just came across on MSNBC and now FOX News.
my cousin who is 6Ɖ'/280 lb is named HERB!
I've always said it with the H simply because of my cousin's name. He is named Herbert, Herb for short, so it is very hard for me to think of cilantro as an erb.
