Who's turn is it to feed the turtle?

Back in the day when Doctors hand wrote all of their orders at the hospital, it was my job (unit secretary) to decipher what they'd written, and see to it that all of that info got conveyed to the right department, and transcribed onto the right documents. If I couldn't read a particular order, I'd turn the chart upside down. The brain does some pretty neat convolutions when the squiggles go in a different direction. Just that simple little trick often enabled me to decipher even the hardest to read orders! Talk about a set up for medical errors! How scary is that? Now a days, errors can be made so much faster, and on a much grander scale in the age of computers!!

That's so funny, I've done the exact same thing! A particular doctor, we always flipped the order upside down and suddenly it was crystal clear. Right side up, could have been written by a drunk monkey. I didn't know you were a unit secretary---no wonder I like you so much

Yep. Put in my time before and after the transition to the computer age. Then went to PTA school when my kids were in Jr. High/High School. There were a few docs there who could have passed for drunk monkeys!

There are all these frog-tadpole stages going on in the pool. Does this turtle eat frogs?
Actually, does this turtle get any interaction? does it get to communicate with other turtles?
Does it have a name?
Our is called Albert Pine.
he is a she, so I suppose it is Alberta

Perhaps we could set up a play date with your turtle and the porch turtle.

 

[3goodeggs]

Okay.

I wonder if they are introverts.

They might have trouble coming out of their shells.

Gosh, I don't think we ever gave our turtle a name! I vote for Splinter......he's just kinda part of the Porch that you don't much attention to until you bump into him. Oh we've been neglectful Turtlers. I think it's time to call out the Turtle Police and get some protection going here!

Okay.

I wonder if they are introverts.

Splinter would go great with pine.
and yea, I know sour, but It had to be done or I would have ruptured something holding in a bad pun.

 

[lazy gardener]

Shelly?

 

[3goodeggs]

Shelly Splinter.
that is a good name
