Anyone with the 5pm VHPW?
Jay's lost a heartbreaker today-7-6.
Thanks for the b/day wishes for my GS. He can't open presents to well yet but he sure did make a mess of himself having b/day cake and ice cream. :lolsign:
Rockie's got a benevolent side:

Bet you thought of the "happy ending " too eh RL?
90-year-old tortoise gets prosthetic wheels and a happy ending, but when Mrs. T the tortoise was originally found in hibernation with her legs eaten off by rats her doting owner feared the very worst.
Jude Ryder from Pembrook, West Wales was horrified when she went to check on her hibernating pet and found her legs had been eaten off in a rat attack.
The 56-year-old immediately rushed her long-time pet to the vet and spent over $1,500 (£1,000) trying to save Mrs. T. The prognosis was grim; the vet didn’t think Mrs. T could survive unless they found a way to make her mobile again.
Jude Ryder’s son, Dale, received the tortoise as a gift when he was 8-years-old, at which point Mrs. T was already well into her sixties. Dale is now a 37-year-old mechanical engineer but he still has warm feelings for the sweet pet tortoise he got when he was only a child.
Using his engineering mind, Dale decided to attach wheels from a model aircraft onto the front of Mrs. T’s shell using resin, blessing her with a whole new way to get around.
Turtles are known for being one of the slowest creatures on the planet, but now that Mrs. T has her own wheels you can’t call her a slow poke.
Dale said, “It was like fitting her with a turbo charger – she’s going double the speed she used to. She uses her back legs to push herself along. She seems quite happy, but it’s difficult to tell with a tortoise.”
Mrs. Ryder said, “She took to them straight away, but she has had to learn how to turn and stop. She can get a good speed up, much faster than before. Mrs. T is still quite young for a tortoise. She could go on for another 50 years – all she needs is a new set of tires every now and again.”
Maybe get her snow tires and she won't need to hibernate any more!
Needing some help here:
Somewhere back in the 60s in England I really liked a song that I thought was called "Restless" I thought it was maybe by Bobby Goldsborough or similar. It didn't become a hit; although it did get airplay. There was a section of the lyric that always stuck with me throughout the years -
"every time I hear the sound of the subway underneath my feet, or the music of streetcars in the night fading out of sight along the city street makes me feel so restless"
Despite the magic of Google and the web I can't find any trace of this record's existence!
I'm appealing to fellow music lovers on here to put me out of my misery and find out who did this and its correct title.
HELP!!
Good morning all. Great weekend at the cottage so far :)

Happy First Birthday to your little Grandson Dededi. It goes so fast doesn't it? I'm glad he had fun.
Jester, I'll see what I can do in regards to those lyrics. I must say they don't ring a bell with me.
It's a beautiful day again!!!
Good morning, everyone. :)
It seems Lily dog and I are getting creaky in our old age. Neither one of us felt like getting out of bed this morning (I got into a weird position while I slept and pulled something and I suspect Lily did the same - or she has sympathy pains). Good thing we had the short obnoxious one insisting we get going or we'd sleep the day away. Naps in the sunshine are one thing, sleeping all day in bed is a whole other story. ;)
I suspect today's to-do list might have to be scrapped. Meh. Cuddles are more important anyway. :P
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. :)
