I am the most handsome orange turtle in the world!
Had an exhausting day watching the Boy and Girl shovel.

Hope all my friends experiencing winter weather are hanging in there.

Well my tortoise friends -don't get all uppity! I'm just doing a bit!

Does anyone know where to get just plain stainless steel sports water bottles? The cab can be plastic. But I don't want to color coating on the outside. They don't hold up and then I'm just dumping microplastics or whatever the powder coating is made of down the drain.

I'm ready to make my complaints about the delivery services. Does anybody know the PIN on girl's phone?

(Also, her phone might contain Victor!)

Okay the "What's up" prompt is back!

I'm I'm a disgruntled turtle.

Girl told me that she ordered me the party platter shrimp cocktail from Costco. And then when our order came nothing for me. And then just now we got Tex-Mex. And I ordered shrimp & crab taco and the combo fajita- pork, chicken and shrimp. Everybody else got their meal and I did not.

The "what's up" prompt has gone away. I guess they don't want to know that I'm still a turtle.

I got pea, green bean, and asparagus baby food for breakfast this morning. I thought this was really good baby food last month. Maybe my favorite flavor of all time.

But ever since boy bought six jars of it because I liked it, I'm just not feeling it.

I'm sure it will be a shock to everyone, but the front desk knew exactly who she was talking about. They are apparently already working with him on his behavior, and they have added girl's experience to their documentation.
Some 900 million-year-old guy was creepy to the girl at the gym yesterday. Today was her day off, she really doesn't want to have to go back tomorrow.

What's up? What's up?

I'm a turtle.

I am still a turtle. And no matter how many times I'm asked today, "what's up?", the essential essence of the answer is going to be that I'm a turtle. Thank you for asking. What's up with you?

Well my nonsense should be blamed on Amazon for inserting ads on all their TV shows unless you pay more on top of the hundred whatever dollars a year you're paying to get your packages of counterfeit goods not delivered on time. And so yeah I'm posting nonsense during ad breaks

Just posting the t(urtle) every time I see the prompt...

Many folks here are not turtles.

Boy is out of town. Girl turned on the second power sun in violation of all the rules of turtle hating.

I am a very warm turtle!

Apparently nobody knows how to use the new what's up prompt. Just to be safe, I'm periodically updating you on my Turtle status.
January 14, 2026 at 10:03 PM
Still a turtle!
January 14, 2026 at 10:02 PM
There's now a prompt at the top of Bluesky saying what's up?

Do I need to post that I'm a turtle every time I see it or just every time I log in?
January 14, 2026 at 9:18 PM
I am a turtle

Got to read with the Girl! She did an excellent job. I feel like she was much warmer than normal. The compression was just right. I did have to kick her a little bit. But she slid over and it was perfect.

They stole my leaves.

They stole my dirt.

They made me shower.

They tricked me and I ate a piece of corn.

Not a great day.
