i can understand that, a few of my friends have been murdered one by his own brother actualy. i had some beef with them when they were here, but after they died its hard to stay mad at them. you kinda just wish that things were different, but being mad at the dead wont help anything.



peace.

:eek: really...? really... ???
 
In my childhood I dont have much friends coz we are always moving (father's job).
Oh btw I remember one day when travel with my mum, she leave me in the train (I was
around 3 or 4). She told me to wait in the train, while she bought something outside,
then she missed the train. I didnt remember though how they found me back.

My grandmother kept a goat and chickens, at various times, we had a tortoise, fish, white mice, birds, dogs and cats. :p

I remember one year my brother decided he was going to study snails. He bred them and although it was years and years ago, occasionally we still see a couple during the rains. :D

I think so:confused: If you know how train in Indonesia.. many of them are very old,
left by the ducth (were built by the Dutch), and people also take animal (like
goat, chicken, etc) with them into the train (train which are not executive
class). Then, along the way, there are people singing inside the train, and
when you dont give them money, they dont stop singing near you. Also there
were children trading issue (I forgot whats the term for it). But at that time I
think I didnt understand anything at all yet. After what happened, wherever
my mum go, even around house, I should hold the tip of her cloth :p, and in
elementary school, she will wait me outside, and I make sure I could see her
through window. Poor my mum...!

But why breakdown? Why? Because of Jainic non-fly-squishing? I swear, I'll have the gardener toss it outside!

Mainly out of neglect, I think, he was the strong silent type, hard to say what he really thought. We did probe his ass a couple of times to see of there was a problem, but it only brought him out of his shell for a few minutes.:(

Just ran away one fine day, when he ran out of pee, I presume.:bawl:

Umm.....wow. Thanks SAM, didn't need to know about that. :bugeye:

No, actually.

Are they supposed to leave their shells? I didn't even know that they can!

:roflmao:

Not entirely, no. But they can be moody little buggers, at least ours was.

Had to persuade him to eat, play with him, talk to him, else he'd get mad and sulk in his shell, refusing to come out even if we coaxed. :p

Wow. How old was he?
 
I dunno - I was at the zoo some days ago when they tossed down lettuce for the Galapagos tortoises. There was a really big one that made it halfway across his enclosure in less than a minute - funny as hell to watch them scarper.

He was just out for his daily doo doo while the balcony was being washed and we left him sunbathing out there. He was too domesticated to be adventurous, tripping us up all over the house. :(
 
Maybe he was sold, the Wikipedia link said that those turtles are often sold illegally. :(

Dunno, we found him but he was about 6 inches long when we got him and we had him for 3 or 4 years (he was stolen from our garden, since I don't believe he could have run very far, probably ended up as soup, poor thing).

A star tortoise, very beautiful markings.

Perhaps someone stole him and set him free in the wilderness where he is now peeing on everything! :D
