Good Morning!

Hi @Appleblossom , I've just watched a fictional Norwegian program about a catastrophic volcanic eruption on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, and learned that glass sponges, an animal that lives in the very deepest oceans can have a lifespan of upto 15,000 years according to scientific estimates. That's amazing to me, and tortoises are older than the dinosaurs.

@TAB if it is any consolation my son's swimming coach would say when he complained "it is only pain it will go away". .😁. Perhaps a stiff drink would be better

@Abner interesting 🤔 sometimes I feel older than a tortoise. 😃😃

yes there is a current 'thing' in medical profession even , that pain does not exist ha ha

@Gibbs anyhoo, yes re meds, was putting it off, and a drink ha har

When I get out of bed in the morning I look older than 15, 000 years @Gibbs .

@Abner don't look in the mirror it does wonders

For 5 years I hung out with giant turtles at our local open range zoo. In spring they would get rammy and carry on like a football team. They were all male. I also had a long necked tortoise when I was a kid. I love animals and learning about them.

I was doing visitor engagement with 5 year olds and under, so they were the focus.

There were also pythons in the same space. They needed to be there inside as they needed more warmth through the winter. It was just good getting used to them always being there.... In the background.
