Anyone go skiing on July 4th? Yep. Some ski resorts in the US were open. Longest ski season ever in the US?

If schools you went to when you were younger had ski trips and you did not get to go, did you feel left out?

it is true. You can spot it a mile off because it is more or less a vertical drop down the side of the mountain.

Scary!

and beyond anything I would attempt - I am crap at sport and this includes skiing. I thought the thing that was worse than being forced down a vertical drop when I went, was when it got late in the afternoon, around dusk when the sun goes in and then (because it is all bloody white, sky included) you cannot tell what is sky and what is snow/land - I recall it made me dizzy and a bit sicky (or perhaps that was the BF who I later realised was as thick as shit, sorry snow on the mountain. Personally, I was unable to master even the sodding lift thing - hated it, especially getting up early to do it - never, ever again will I stray so far from my fellow vegetables.

changing the subject, your little gecko looks a bit like a tortoise (I cold be wrong, I may have the start of cataracts) - stiff little leggies - he has perhaps suffered a cut and paste experience hence his black gecko background. Ah, I'm starting to get attached....

No, Leo is definately a leopard gecko, not a tortoise. The odd leg positioning my be down to the fact she is sitting on my dad's t-shirt while he's in the t-shirt. Anyways, I'll look for some more pictures.

ah I see - I didn't realise he was a real creature - please hunt out a piccy - I would be interested to see a larger image. What is he like as a pet? Is he difficult to care for and so on? I bet you think the world of him. I have to admit, I do have a thing about animals.

oh,he's a she - sorry.

There, Leo posing on the working surface.

Arrgghh - it's refusing to post my comment. Maybe I'd better do it in chunks.

Leo is a lovely friend/pet: Very clean (she only goes toilet in one corner); has never bitten me or anyother human; she is friendly and will eventually show some degree of recognition towards her human friends (reptiles aren't as 'primitive' and 'stupid' as people think) and she apprectiates being held (she never tries to run away when being held, but she can put on a surprising burst of speed when necessary).

On the downside, her diet consists only of insects - so I buy her crickets, these being the easiest to buy, not to mention the most nutitous. Before being fed they have to be lightly dusted in a special vitamin powder. Also, being a reptile, she relies on her environment to control her body temperature, so a heat mat, thermostat thingy and lightbulb (on a timer and positioned so she can't burn herself) are all required.

Anyways, a quick internet search will give you more than enough detailed information.

Hope I helped!

it did - most interesting - she likes to be held - I would not have known that. It is nice to read something that describes somebody who is devoted to their pet and mentions behavioural characteristics and not just the practical side. We have cats (7 - too many really but it was not planned) and it always amazes me how little some cat owners know about their animals in terms of 'what makes them tick' and the kind of animal they are. I don't understand the lack of curiosity and interest I suppose.
by Mushen on January 6th, 2008
Ouch....7 cats.... I assume one of the original cats gave birth?
by Time Lord on January 7th, 2008
erm - no. Started with 4 and then we moved to where we live now and then the people over the road went on holiday for 3 weeks and their 3 cats were fed by a friend. Then 1 of them started to spend every night of the week sitting next to me on a chair in the garden, and within a month all 3 just sort of 'moved in' and never went home. The sad part is, that at no time did the original owners come looking - even on firework night when all 7 were locked in house with us, nobody was out in the street panicking over where these 3 animals were - and they all moved in at the same time in the same week. We love 'em to bits but 7 is too many really and they do get under your feet a bit. Still, wouldn't be without any of them now.
by Mushen on January 7th, 2008
You're great to give them all a home.
