3. Sort of early in the year for the "grinch" to show up isn't it?

sigh...

[RSillsbee]

4. I used to piss off every one in my carpool

Because I insisted on stopping to move turtles across the road whil living in FLA.

Grinch that

2. I love that there is an official policy for the turtles to take precedence.

Even if I'd been on the plane waiting to take off on that hot runway, I'd still be happy. :loveya:

8. Yes.

Make way for mothers.

[aquart]

6. Well, so was I.

Still am.

I guess turtles don't cross your runway.

7. Daughter recently stopped and moved one from roadway,

and we KEPT one in her room, 10+ years ago. FUN, and neat animals.

10. I watched one dig a hole in our yard for her eggs and cover it up.

My mom lives in Bayside which is, surprisingly logically, by a bay.

16. Am I missing something?

Am I the only one that sees no text other than the title in the OP?

[aquart]

18. No. That was it. Turtles. Runway.

19. I stopped one time to help a turtle.

Turned out to be a large snapping turtle. Whoa!! I did not want to be caught by that sucker by any means. They are mean to say the least. Their eyes and open mouth are enough to scare anybody.

I got a very large box and put it in the trunk. I then used a snow shovel I had to put said turtle in the box. Found a nearby place to turn over box and watch him mosey further into the woods. I know they can be handled without all this hooha, but I wasn't in the mood to be turtle food.


I could have found somebody who would use him for soup. It is tasty, but I was not running a turtle black market.

That was a lifetime mitzvah!
