I'm Thelma, a 33 year old single chick living in NYC with my two terrible orange tabbies, Elvis and Jack Daniel, plus two turtles, Yertle and TimTam.
I adopted Elvis and JD from a shelter three years ago, and they truly are like sunshine in my life. Elvis is now about 5 years old and JD is about 3 1/2.
My dad gave me Yertle back in 1992, but I'm not sure how old he is. He's a lovely box turtle with fabulous bright orange eyes. He has been with me for quite a while and he's very special to me.
I got TimTam from a friend whose 13 year old son didn't want him anymore. I think he may be some kind of river turtle, and he has a flat shell and two bright yellow stripes up his neck all the way up to his little nostrils. His eyes are brown and he's quite handsome. I have had him for about 2 years now. He's a lovely little guy, and I'm so glad to have him as part of my crew.
I love being with friends and/or family, I love to have a drink or two and shoot the breeze, and I love going upstate to the mountains on weekends to clear my mind, breathe some fresh air and see lots and lots of green.
I used to be into photography, but honestly, I have let that go a little. I love to read, listen to cheesy 70s and 80s music and play Scrabble, Yahtzee and Trivial Pursuit (even though I'm not too good at TP!).
Oh, and I'm very long-winded with my posts (the old-timers here can tell you that!), but I'm very happy to be back here at Pet Talk!
Thelmalu99, we LOVE long windedness(if that is a word) here. Sometimes when I post, I feel like I'm writing War and Peace!!!lollol
