TORTOISE CREATING HAVOC......-- i bet in your lifetime you have never seen the words tortoise and havoc in the same sentance... FROM JUDY---- CRAZY request, Tortoise created havoc at home while I am gone and driving my husband crazy.  Don’t hesitate to say no. Any chance he could go in the little strip area til I get back. IF so I would ask Haley to pick him up. Again don’t hesitate to say no. See you soon.  Judy judy bought a little tortoise 20 years ago and took  very good care of it-- it now weighs about 40 pounds- she had it here  for a few hours because teh local art class wanted to draw it.---- i found out....   if you are not use to handling and managing a tortoise it can be a challange.  hers moves  so slowly that it causes you to become interested in anything else- and when you do  he is miles from where you thought he ought to be. and even at 40 pounds, he is not easy to find. apparently her husband had that problem. i of course offered to cope- but she did find another rescue situation... **** as for my discription of the difference between teh adding machine and the computer is an "if" statement.....a few people liked it.. but a more astute, younger person told me  the new computersLEARNED... by  assembled millions of pieces of data- tehy made a decision about the number of angels on teh head of a pin-  then  consulted those angels  for decisions-- which is why when you ask a  modern computer to play music, it will give you teh driving directions to fairbaks alaska-- with corresponding traffic reports..and toll charges. in my 80 year old world- a computer would deal with  one "if" statement at a time..  where with the improved sysem   it has  complex overlapping  "if's"  rendering a  logic problem nearly impossible for me to understand.   take this morning-- i wanted to hook up my laptop to the bedroom computer so i could watch the donkeys overnight- i am so used to having a problem that  it took me 1/2 hour to figure out i had not plugged it in.  once i corrected that .  thisi smart tv showed 1/2 the picture of donkeys- aND THE OTHER 1/2 SOMETHIGN COMPLICATED  JANINE WAS WRITING-- WITH NO LITTLE RIGHT HAND  "X" TO GET RID OF  EITHER... I JUST GAVE UP AND LEFT IT THAT WAY.  I TOO LEARN.... I WILL LOOK FOR SOME 12 YEAR OLD TO FIX IT. **  today just has to be dump day -- or rather transfer station day **  we have a guest here who looks capable of lifting and loading-- so maybe we will get those 2 huge  stainless steel cages in some convenient / usefull location-  one of them  has 36.25 as theri smallest measurement-- and the icu doors are 36"    unless we remove the door jam... see -- nothing is simple. so that might be todays camera entertainment--- over by the donkey cafe
