Something’s not right

Riding a wave

Riding a wave

Hi all,

@CherryBomb, @Former-Member or any other @Former-Member floating around Forum Land, will you ride a wave with me? I thought I would be fine doing something...but it turns out that the something has made my big feelings BIG and now I'm in a pickle...and there's nothing worse than a pickled turtle! I'm going to go and snuggle in my bed so I probably won't actually respond to you, but it will still super help me to know that I am not utterly alone on the wave. I don't want to tag anyone else because I don't want anyone to feel they need to respond. Thank you in advance for riding with me.

Re: Riding a wave

I keep looking at this photo and I can not at all work out how Myrtle's bum even comes into it @Phoenix_Rising 😂 Maybe it makes way more sense to me because I actually took it. Either way, I am laughing lots.

I had to crop out pretty much everything because any more of the photo would have shown all sorts of things. Yep I use my phone, which means posting photos, editing out mistakes, hyperlinking etc is in mini.

Hope you sleep well tonight. I am so glad you have your turtle whisperer, though I do very much hear how scary it might be too.

Night @Phoenix_Rising 🙂

@Zoe7 Nope, no macs in my house...indeed, no apple products at all. Yay for android.

@CheerBear ROFL. I can't see how you can't see it. To me, Myrtle's face is right up close to the camera, and I am further behind and beneath her, hence looking at her bum. Right now I feel like I'm at Friday Feast, where all the most important questions of the Universe are addressed. Ok... @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member, I know you are all probably super busy floating around Forum Land, but this is terribly important. Can you see how it is that I perceive myself to be looking at my cousin Myrtle's bum, whereas @CheerBear perceives me to be looking at Myrtle's face??? Gee, no wonder I'm having sleeping issues when I'm wrestling with giant issues like this!

Re: Riding a wave

I 100% agree @Phoenix_Rising - my place is a Mac Free Zone as well - yah - let the fun begin (when you finish your marking job in a couple of weeks)

Re: Riding a wave

Ok, I get it now and think I've figured it out @Phoenix_Rising (I think).

You've morphed, from being TT in my handbag to who I thought was Myrtle, who I think you thought I meant was you when really I meant you were your verison of Myrtle. In which case, I can definitely see how you're staring at Myrtle's butt. This all makes perfect sense now 😂

Re: Riding a wave

Um, what? @CheerBear 😛
I think I can see both versions in the optical illusion @Phoenix_Rising and Cheerbear 😛

Correct me if I'm wrong but...
Version 1 (reality) - Myrtle in a tank, and TT looking in (up) with back of pink shell facing the camera.
Version 2 (illusion) - TT behind the tank with pink shell tummy facing the camera, and Myrtle in front (cause Myrtle's tummy almost looks like it's overlapping TT's head).
... yeh?

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear I am now doing that evil thing of using technology while in bed. I should be focusing on sleep and instead I am focusing on the fact that I don't have the slightest idea about what you just said. 😂😂😂 We will definitely have to continue this conversation tomorrow! 🐢🐢 (That's me and my cousin Myrtle both feeling very muddled). 😂😂😂
