2. i love turtles too

I had 6 of them growing up.

Yertle
Yertle II
Yertle III
Yertle IV
Yertle V
and Max. (named max because I had him the same time I had Yertle V.)

I have a turtle calendar and more than a few stuffed turtles.

They're my favorite animal.

so I pick them up and help them cross safely. :D

9. Where do you live?? In No Calif that is not possible

Frogs and toads Yep.
But not the shelly creatures

16. Maryland...

near DC.

Every time I turn around they're developing yet another small swatch of woods inside the Beltway. It really pisses me off, because the animals depend on those little areas; and the houses they build in there are junky-looking. :(

Ever had turtle soup??

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. I could never eat it...

I had a taste once when I was a little girl; and I immediately felt guilty afterward. I mean, I was on the verge of tears.
I feel too strong a kinship with them...

Do you know the kid?

I saw an article in the WP that said he's the latest sensation!

12. Good for her!

I met a woman at my son's swimming classes who counts box turtles in a local park every year. It sounds like fun!

[wildhorses]

6. seems like i read somewhere that turtles are supposed to

bring good luck:shrug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. I heard that, too!

When I play weddings, I wear my turtle pin, just in case. :D

[wildhorses]

mojo they can get:hug:

[SPKrazy]

14. I do too, I like turtles !

all kinds of turtles

used to catch them and keep them for a while and then set them free as a kid.

Turtles are amazing to me.

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. When I was a kid

we'd visit my grandparents in Florida every summer. Whenever we'd go to the beach, we could see where a turtle had come up on the shore, laid her eggs, and returned. I treasure that memory... :hug:

[SPKrazy]

23. How wonderful GoG!

that is a great memory, thanks for sharing it :hug:

[Shine]

17. Me too!! I consider them one of my totems.

:loveya:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. What exactly is a totem?

I've often wondered...

[Shine]

25. Native Americans believe that we each have animal totem spirits

which guide us, teach us and protect us. If you feel particularly drawn to or resonate with a certain animal or creature, chances are you have that as a personal totem in your life.

Turtles carry the "medicine" or power of Mother Earth, they are very connected with the Goddess, appropriately enough. :D
Here's a cool link which explains the energy of the Turtle totem. Enjoy, it's good stuff!

[trof]

18. Ok, fine. But how do they feel about you?

Just askin'.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. As long as I don't get in their faces

they find me tolerable. :toast:

29. When I was a kid, probably 4-5 years old

I was at an aquarium in Massachusetts and saw a tank with a turtle swimming around. I didn't realize the tank was full of water and I thought the turtle was flying. I ran up to my Dad and Uncle and said, "Look!! Look at the flying turtle!!" I remember my Uncle grimacing and saying, "Turtles don't fly!"

[GoddessOfGuinness]

32. LOL

It's understandable why you'd think that. Those enourmous tanks are pretty mind-boggling to a kid!

[YankeyMCC]

30. Me too...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. Nice!

:thumbsup:

31. I love turtles! My first pets were a couple of red-eared sliders

named Myrtle and Fertile.

Turtles are adorable.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

34. Myrtle and Fertile...

:rofl:

We had a red-eared slider named Lightning... :-)

35. Turtles are my daughter's fav.

She has one that looks like the turtles in the first picture. His name is Clunksky. She takes him for walks and stuff, and he and the cat play together. It's hysterical.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

36. I'd like to see that!

What does she do? Take him to the park?
