Wow, I come back from vacation and the Lounge has moved! What is this insanity? First day back at work today was rough after 10 days in Hawaii.

You must read the old one first! YoullY find a lot of puns and groans.

How do you know they were box turtles? Were they in a box?

Our flight home today. They're asking for donations in exchange for a photo with the plane.

Welcome back. It can be a tough adjustment (work after Hawaii vacation; not the new lounge thread )

Tender? Turtle soup for you. Or were they being sweet and romantic with each other, like true love?

One of them is a regular in our yard that we enjoy seeing hang out on the sidewalk, and we're thrilled that they seem to have made a love connection.

Maybe the regular will return to show off the children. How do you feel about being grandparents to slow critters with hard shells?

Since they're some of the more benign wildlife in town (yes, there are gators in the golf course lakes and ponds- it is Florida after all) , it works for me

MAEN!

For some reason everyone in my group is dressed like tacky tourists today. Maybe because it's Thorsday eve?

Glad to see this new thread; it feels more open to all. I felt that the old one had become a small circle of insiders.

I write from Devizes, England, taking a rest day after 4 days of a 6-day walk along the Kennet and Avon Canal between Reading and Bath. This is my 8th long-distance walk in Europe and the latest in the year I’ve ever done. It gets dark much too early!

It gets dark much too early here too, and it will get worse after the weekend when DST goes into effect.

I understand that it can feel intimidating to some, if it feels like there are a lot of old timers and regulars with dense inside jokes etc. but the old thread was just as open as this one -- it's in the title!

I encourage people to just jump in. It's how I got started in the Lounge 3+ years ago, and some of the OMNI threads etc. We don't bite! Except maybe Howste if he hasn't been fed recently.
