    Ah, turtles turtles, turtles. Such hateful creatures.

    Had to get an alligator snapping turtle out of the back yard this morning. A young one, only about a foot in diameter. Now that was a pain. Trying to move the thing without touching it, ugh.

    So we finally get the darn demon spawn in a bucket and there's a red ear slider in the drive way. No big deal, just a slider, try and move it so we can relocate the alligator snapper and the darn thing tries to attack me. So here I am, being chased in circles by a red ear slider. Suckers can move pretty fast I'll tell you.

    Who ever said turtles were slow and peaceful has never met these turtles.

    Wow, evil turtles, whodda thunk?

    You okay Silver?

    Silverfoxkit

    Yeah, O', fine. According to my husband that darn red ear almost got the heel of my foot a few times though. I certainly was not expecting the thing to lunge at me and give chase when I went to move it out of the way.

    Sounds more furious than a duck.

    Yes, that creature was much scarier then a duck.

    Duck's really aren't that bad anyway, it's the geese you really have to watch out for. There are some geese on the river bank that would hold you at gunpoint for a some pieces of bread... and your wallet, maybe even your car keys.

    Yet again if you ask my husband turkeys are the worse birds in the world. He's terrified of the gobblers.

    I agree with your husband. Turkeys are mean! I got bitten by a turkey once, nasty little bugger. I really hope he was the one on my plate come Christmas. Revenge is sweet!

    Turkeys don't bite. They have no real teeth. They peck.

    Hi starby,

    My thoughts are with you, keep your chin up.

    Love and huggs to you xxxxxxxxxx
  • May 28, 2009, 05:07 PM
    Alty

    I haven't updated in a long time. I probably shouldn't be updating now, but all of you have a right to know, all of you care about Starby, so here it goes.

    Starby hasn't had an easy time of it. I won't go into details but there's more wrong then just her broken leg. Her liver is toxic, it's failing.

    Again, no details, but she's in hospital right now and the doctors don't think she'll make it.

    They can't operate, she wouldn't survive the surgery. The liver is too far gone, her only hope would be a transplant. No can do.

    The doctors are thinking she only has a few days left. They've induced a coma so she's not in pain.

    Her family is by her side, trying, hoping, praying for a miracle. I hope there is one, but it doesn't look good.

    All your prayers, whatever you believe in, whatever you have to give, let's give it to Starby.

    I'm hoping for a miracle, I'm sure we all are.

    That's all. I'll keep you all posted. :(

    OMG!

    I'm sorry for you, too, Alty. I think I'll add you in a postscript to God.

    Thanks Cats.

    I'm sorry for all of us. We all love Starby, our Ducky. I'm not alone in feeling sad, feeling grief. There are so many of us, so many that love her. I just get to be the messenger, but I'm not alone in my grief.

    I forgot that for a moment. I was thinking "poor me". Sorry, had a moment, a bad one. Poor us. All of us.

    We're all hurting. We're all sad. We'll all be there for each other. Like I said, I just get to be the messenger, but I'm no where near the only one that cares for her.

    Damn. Still have a lot of tears. Thank God for tylenol or my head would explode.

    Thanks again Cats. :)

    Dear Alty,

    Thank you so much for keeping us informed about the situation! It's so sad for all of us! My prayers go out to every one involved with Starby and I am also praying for a miracle!

    Thanks!
  • May 28, 2009, 05:58 PM

    Maybe with all of us hoping, praying, there will be a miracle.

    Surely God can't deny so many requests.

    Never more then now do I realize that we are indeed a family. Much more then just people on the internet. We all care about each other.

    This group, this family, AMHD, well, we all mean so much to Starby. We really were there through her darkest hours. She relied so much on the friendship, the human contact that she got here. We are her family. We're all family. We'll get through this, we have no choice.

    Prayers, no matter who you pray to. Hope, no matter how small, that's all we have left.

    Where there's a will there's a way. I hope someone finds the way. I hope that Ducky comes back to us.

    Darn that girl. I hope she pulls through just so I can yell at her. She sure will get an earful for all this worry. ;)

    I double dog dare you Jo. I double dog dare you! Damn, stupid tears. They don't help at all.

    Just hold hands, we can you know, we have that power. Just hold hands and pray.

    Alty, I think you've done as much as you could given the circumstances. I wish we could all do more but we just have to pray for her and let God take over.
