The Tortoise and the Hare
2009-03-04 18:25:00 ok. im back on the 25mg dose....started last thurs and so far so good. the fluid seems to be building at a slower pace, but im not sure why. could be the weeks on a high protein diet or the sutent starting to help a bit or my body finally catching up with the edema and the amount of fluid that has had to be drained over and over again so often lately....OR all of the above. every time they have drained since i got out of the hospital in jan, they end up leaving 2,3 or maybe 4 ltrs in there and my body just can't deal with that much on its own. it is only when they get it down to 1 or 2 left in my belly does the sutent and my body seem to be able to get rid of the rest on its own and balance out. so, i am going to be drained again this thurs even tho it seems to be building slower. i am hoping that they will take another 3 out and leave me with only 1 or 2 and since ive been on the sutent since last thurs, hopefully my theory will be correct and what used to work a few short months ...

Owen the Hippo and Tortoise Mr. Mom
2008-08-18 08:20:00 I bet you did not know that the horrible Tsunami that hit South and Southeast Asia a while back, killing 275,000 humans, also hit Kenya. It did. There are lots of critters still running around in Africa that the increasingly advanced Africans have not yet killed off.There are hippopotamuses and giant tortoises. These tortoises are really giant, not like our desert tortoises here in California that are about as big as a football.During the tsunami, the baby hippo, Owen, 350 pounds, and its hippo Mommy (name and weight unknown) got swept down the Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean. Though hippos can swim ok, they don't like floods and tend to die in them. Owen's Mom got killed and Owen landed in the Indian Ocean. Then the tsunami waves swept him ashore with lots of other critters.Somewhere in all this mess, Owen landed on top of a giant tortoise, male, age 100, name unknown. He probably landed on his shell and they both rode the tsunami waves onto the beach where they both kicked ba...

Tortoise Mating
2008-06-06 08:36:00 This article and the pictures were from Tee, a reader.We share your grief when the tortoise die. Thank you very much for sharing.Hi Eugene,Here are some photos of my land tortoise trying to mate. The male one is on top of the female one. These photos were taken sometime in year 2006. Sadly, the female tortoise died. She was suffocated by the male tortoise. Somehow, the male tortoise tries to "bite" the female's neck. So, when they were in a bigger aquarium, the male kept trying to bite the female's neck and at one stage, I believe the female ran out of breath and died in the water. Love kills (literally).I was a little sad but life goes on. I buried the female tortoise.Tee

Tortoise versus Warner Bros.
2008-05-27 09:34:00 and Tortoise wins!!!Warner Bros is being very lazy for revealing some information... atleast some pics of Half-Blood Prince. But they are focusing on the movie which was released an year ago... Order of the Phoenix! They are release some new pics of Order of the Phoenix, instead of Half-Blood Prince. That is insane!Anyway, a trailer WILL BE out within coming two months, and if it doesn't come, then I'm gonna kill WB!!! (just joking).Currently there is nothing to post. Some very tit-bits of news are there, but I don't think they are important so I'm just skipping news and posting only some of the important ones.Sorry for the hiatus. Anyway, enjoy your summer vocations kids!

Where can we find the kanet stolen by the thief ?During the day she is afraid of the crow,At night she goes to amorous Kamrupa.Kukkuripa sang such a carya.Only one in a million can understand it.

The Tortoise and the Hare.
2007-12-19 13:52:00 The Montreal Canadiens waited way too long to start playing to the desired level of intensity and the Florida Panthers got out of Montreal with a 3-2 victory.The Habs were nowhere to be found during the first two periods yesterday. After one period they were only able to register 3 shots on goal. Jozef Stumpel, Brett McLean and Olli Jokinen scored to install the Panthers in front by 3-0.With just 10 minutes to go to the third period, the Canadiens started to be more intense and more dangerous around Tomas Vokoun's net. Andrei Markov scored 2 goals to reduce the Panthers lead to only a single goal but it was too late.''Inexcusable.'' was Guy Carbonneau's way to describe the general team effort into yesterday's game. There is no way in explaining why the players lacked of playing intensity. If the players thought that they were in for an easy one then they have another example that you cannot win a NHL game against anyone without a sufficient level of effort and intensity.The C...

Randy tortoise stolen to order
2007-10-01 17:51:00 A RANDY tortoise who makes love to garden sprinklers has gone missing from his home after being stolen by thieves.Humphrey the tortoise, aged 60, was poached during the night from the back garden of his owners' house in Netherton, West Midlands, almost two weeks ago.Now his retired 60-year-old owner has been left devastated and wants to get her favourite horny pet back.Humprey's owner, who has had him for 40 years but did not want to be identified, said: "We're worried he'll end up at the wrong home where people don't know how to look after him."He always gets over-friendly with the sprinkler. When the weather gets hot he goes berserk, heads straight for his favourite toy and starts to make love to it."We've tried to introduce him to toy tortoises before, but he's just not interested."If he can't mate with the garden sprinkler, he just doesn't want to know."He's never had a girlfriend or a mate either - the sprinkler is the only partner for him."West Midlands Police said t...

Two Headed Turtle - Amazing
2007-09-28 13:27:00 They say two heads are better than one, but this rare turtle doesn't seem to know whether it's coming or going - slowly, either way.The two-headed red slider turtle has turned up at a reptile centre in Pennsylvania, where owners are amazed by its freak appearance. The unnamed curiosity has two heads on opposite sides of a single shell, as well as six legs and a combined tail. A collector in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, passed the freak of nature to Big Al's Aquarium Supercenter in East Norriton. Jay Jacobi, the shop's exotic reptile manager, said: "The two heads seem to have their own thoughts, operating independently. "But sometimes they seem to put their two heads together and move in the same direction, feed together, walk together." Three names are in the running for the turtle. These include Gemini, after the Zodian twins symbol, and Blinky, the name of a three-eyed, radioactive fish in an episode of The Simpsons. The store is also pondering calling the turtle Limerick, after ...

The Hare and the Tortoise ... a fable
2007-09-25 12:36:00 Here's a version of the popular story of the Hare and the Tortoise! , which i wish to share here. This "expanded version" of the fable has some interesting lessons ...Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster .They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race. The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ. The hare woke up and realized that he'd lost the race.The moral - "Slow and steady wins the race. This is the version of the story that we've all grown up with."THE STORY DOESN'T END HEREthere are few more interesting things.....it continues as follows......The hare was disappoi...

Tortoise Tales
2007-07-17 17:31:00 Selling tortoises thirty or forty years ago was a very different proposition than what it is today. Then your average Pet shop owner was asked for tortoises by his customers. He would then order them from his wholesaler and then a few days later a consignment of tortoises would appear. When we received them they were in flat boxes, but many years earlier they had come in Ali Baba type baskets. On arrival all the tortoises were first put into large trays of warm water and given a drink, then they were washed and checked for ticks. After a few hours rest they were then fed lots of fresh vegetables and then next day put out on show ready to go to new homes. One of my earliest childhood summer memories was going to check the tortoises with my Father and seeing which were male or female. (turn tortoise upside down, concave shell - male, flattish shell -female.)Way back then not too many people questioned how animals were transported or how they were caught. Now-a-days things are differen...
