How long will it take us to get to 10,000 posts?

[DallasFanForever]

What is our #4000 objective?

Wasn’t it 4000 by April 1? I’m too lazy to go back and look now. Our hotness must definitely be wearing off as we get older cause we’re starting to move much slower these days. But I think 4000 by May 1 is doable.

I hope it wasn't April 1st or else we'll be answering to the TT Enforcer.

Speak for yourself, my hotness never ages or "wears off".

Agreed, 31 May is doable. Let's see if @Long Lashes agrees.

One's left wondering if that talking mirror has been whispering into your ear again....?

Pfft! The only talking (more like joyous shouting) I hear are my legions of minions worshiping my every move.

So, you are saying that the ability to control the minds of others is a power that you wield....

Remember that with great power comes great responsibility!

Eagle Chat​

They sure have grown so much.

Its incredible to think that just a few weeks ago this was Curly, Larry and Mo ...

and now look at them ....

^^ I was trying to capture them watching a Starling who was chattering at them from down below, they were fascinated by it. Also, whilst they were being distracted, other starlings kept landing behind them and making off with the straw

Close to full size now.

Aww thats a beautiful photo :love5: ... he does remind me so much of Chat.


Here he is earlier, trying so hard to fly ...

I notice a lot of wing flapping at this nest. I guess with three eaglets they like to have room from time to time.

Yes, once they start flapping the nest suddenly seems too small. I've not noticed any feet lifting off the ground yet, have you Michelle?

He's going to be a large eagle or an obese eagle at this rate.

Lol!.. none of them ever go hungry do they, luckily both nests have great parents who are good hunters.

I do still have my suspicions about Freedom/Guy though, have you noticed that he is never seen in both nests at the same time



The twig is still obscuring one of the cameras in Fluffs nest, but at least the eagles are tall enough to see over it ...

"Hey, whats up?"

 

[Long Lashes]

Sometimes life can keep me away from this site as much as I want to be here.

I know exactly what you mean, I've just had a week like that

Indeed, next is setting Streetie up for her Summer location outside at my Mother's home. Since she was outdoor last year on the street she is accustomed to that life.

Ah, I am fond Streetie, she's a toughie to have survived her rough start to life. How wonderful that she is going on vacation to your Mothers garden

She will need new soil as what she is in looks old and tired ... like some of those who challenge Michelle's hotness in the Last Post thread.

You never miss a chance ... :laughing:

I bought Snowie in November 2019 and she dropped her last blooms in early 2020. It was not until this past March that she woke-up. I had long thought she was just about to go into decline but it never really happened unlike some of my other early orchids.

This is so helpful to hear. I've moved Orkie to the conservatory its so much lighter in there and warm at this time time of the year, so hopefully she will like it. Plus, she was making our hallway window look drab, people must've been thinking ..."why do the LL family have a dead plant in the window"

this orchid I have named Carly.

That's a lovely name!

I don't want her to think I'm just talking to her for free rescue orchids but if she ever has one that is destined to be pinned I will gladly take them. I wanted to let her know this plant will be going to a good home. It's no different as if she were a dog or cat.

I'm sure the flower lady knows how enthusiastic you are otherwise she wouldn't pass the plants on to you. If I was her, I would be thankful that someone wants to take on the unwanted plants as its such a waste to bin them.

She did indeed and she gets misted nearly daily to help bring her back. Indeed, some TLC. This is one for the books.

How is she now? has she settled in?

So true. I have learned that if you find a distressed plant these stores are willing to drop the price. Now hotness does help, or at least that is what I have found.

If Hotness helps then I'm in with a good chance :danc:

Is TESCO the only place in your area that you frequent that has orchids?

I'm starting to notice plants in other stores too, store that don't usually sell them. I think plants have become more popular since the lockdown, as everyone had to spend more time in there gardens and the stores have caught onto this.

Did I tell you that one of the stores has been giving away free sunflower seeds? yes, free! can you believe it I've already potted mine up and waiting to see them spring into life.

30 day in the Telly Talk Jail!

The Budgie Judge did grant you time to work at the TT Cafe but you have to report to the jail after your shift.

Jail??

Too late, these Budgies are strict and that snail massacre really moved the court and an example had to be made of you.

:floor: :floor:

. In addition to the 30 day sentence, you have to perform Hard Labour at the Telly Talk Stone Quarry on your days off from the cafe.

Not! ... the Telly Talk Stone Quarry!

Michelle will watch her step after hearing about this.

Pfft!

Hey, at least the weather is nice this time of year.

Oh gee thanks

I had no reaction which is good.

I'm glad to hear this.

The nurse didn't faint but complemented me on the toned arms and seemed to want to feel my "guns" but I batted her away and just said "get on with this jab, this is not some sex show ". The sometime down side of incredible hotness.

I got a Pfizer vaccine which has a three week interval. Others I know have had Moderna which is four weeks. Johnson & Johnson was on jab only.

I had the Oxford Astra Zeneca and I do wonder if the side effects differ slightly between the different vaccines?

I get the impression there my have to be booster jabs later.

Yes, I've heard this too.

Did you get a card with your jab?

I got a small credit sized card yes, did you?

Progress but so much of the world is so far deep in this crisis.

Have you seen what's happening in India? its horrendous

All I can recommend it to let her see some sunlight and to keep her soil damp but not soaked. My four sit in the window sill this time of year and enjoy it. They dry out quicker but I know their habits. Come on Hope, pull through. You've made it this far.

I shall follow your good advice my friend.

BTW, how is Tiny Tim and your garden?

I'm still at battle with garden every chance I get I'm out there pulling up those weeds and just as I think I've won ... up pop another family of weeds ... still, it keeps me fit and gets me out in the fresh air ..Lol

Tiny Tim is looking kind of dull at the moment, not sure he had a very good winter, so I'm hoping he will produce some more lovely green leaves and prove me wrong. I will tell him you were asking about him, it might cheer him up.

You can all stop this talk about incredible hotness, because I am back now (the number one hottest)

 

[Long Lashes]

I cant be bothered to look back either

I hope it wasn't April 1st or else we'll be answering to the TT Enforcer.

Too right! whatever you do, do not wake up TT Enforcer!

Agreed, 31 May is doable. Let's see if @Long Lashes agrees.

Sounds good to me So how many more posts do we need per day before then?

... is anyone on here good at maths?

 

[Biggie]

If you include today, until the 31st of May.

I have done a quick calculation and believe that the rate is 2.125 post per day to get to 4000.

Eagle Chat
​

Its just seven weeks (I think) since the eaglets were born and already all of them are starting to feed themselves ....

Here's Fluff early this morning just after Liberty had dropped off some fish for his breakfast ....

This one made me laugh ....

Lipstick was carefully feeding the three when one of them suddenly snatched the fish right from under her and ran off with it ... poor Lipstick looked confused and them just flew off.

 

[Long Lashes]

..to go!

everyone!​

That is quite the contrast in sizes. Thank goodness the nest can hold them.

Great capture. Surely Fluff wants to know how to use those wings.

Yes, once they start flapping the nest suddenly seems too small. I've not noticed any feet lifting off the ground yet, have you Michelle?

Not yet. It seems they are too occupied by eating and sleeping during my viewing.

A poor turtle for breakfast. I do have a soft spot for turtles.

Lol!.. none of them ever go hungry do they, luckily both nests have great parents who are good hunters.

I do still have my suspicions about Freedom/Guy though, have you noticed that he is never seen in both nests at the same time

LOL, that is true. Maybe more needs to been looking into regarding Freedom/Guy. :floor:I don't know how far they fly in a day but the two nest are less than fifty miles apart from what I understand.

The twig is still obscuring one of the cameras in Fluffs nest, but at least the eagles are tall enough to see over it ...

"Hey, whats up?"

What a great shot! I do like this angle too. I love their expression here.

 

[Michelle Stevens]

I agree you are 100% hot but Michelle wears the crown of supreme hotness here my friend.

 

[Biggie]

I agree you are 100% hot but Michelle wears the crown of supreme hotness here my friend.

Interesting indeed.....
I have just returned from lands that appear on no map. Where I broke bread with witches so powerful that I dare not speak their names.

Linda and Rachel said..... no I mean the witches that I dare not speak their names, those powerful entities that have control over unearthly forces said that crown is meant to sit atop my head.

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Ah, I am fond Streetie, she's a toughie to have survived her rough start to life. How wonderful that she is going on vacation to your Mothers garden

I plan to take her there tomorrow. The weather is warm enough, no frost from here on out. Like so many of my plants she has a story and the outdoors will do her good. I'll share a photo of her during this move.

You never miss a chance ... :laughing:

This is so helpful to hear. I've moved Orkie to the conservatory its so much lighter in there and warm at this time time of the year, so hopefully she will like it. Plus, she was making our hallway window look drab, people must've been thinking ..."why do the LL family have a dead plant in the window"

LOL!

That's a lovely name!

Thank you! I went to a city that week named Carlisle hence the same. I know you have a Carlisle too.

I'm sure the flower lady knows how enthusiastic you are otherwise she wouldn't pass the plants on to you. If I was her, I would be thankful that someone wants to take on the unwanted plants as its such a waste to bin them.

Indeed, I want her to know they are going to a loving home.

How is she now? has she settled in?

I have noticed Carly is starting to perk-up from her dehydration. She, like so many looks so sad when I received her.

If Hotness helps then I'm in with a good chance :danc:

Indeed! Good luck!

BTW, my Tippecanoe and Maizie are blooming!

Spoiler

Tippy showed her colours as this beautiful reddish-orange colour while Maizie is a white orchid. I had though Maizie was a pinkie but she is full of surprises. I've been so overjoyed seeing these orchids bloom over the past week. It almost brings me to tears to see them return from poor states and to bloom again.

I'm starting to notice plants in other stores too, store that don't usually sell them. I think plants have become more popular since the lockdown, as everyone had to spend more time in there gardens and the stores have caught onto this.

Agreed, I have noticed this too. What a better way to pass time than to appreciate nature and the plant world. So often we overlook this world that is right in front of us.

Did I tell you that one of the stores has been giving away free sunflower seeds? yes, free! can you believe it I've already potted mine up and waiting to see them spring into life.

Oh my, so cool. Please let us know how they grow. Are they large sunflowers or minis? Your summer garden will looks so lovely with them.

Jail??

:floor:

Yes! Now the question is what colour attire will you be wearing? Orange or black & white strips?

or grey in my case.

Not! ... the Telly Talk Stone Quarry!

You may appeal the verdict but you could get an even harsher sentence and May is a nice month for doing hard labour. Think of it this way, the added exercise breaking rocks will only make your Enforcer self even stronger.

I'm looking for the positives.

I had the Oxford Astra Zeneca and I do wonder if the side effects differ slightly between the different vaccines?

I'm not sure. I know of people who have had the Johnson & Johnson vaccine that have had more side effects but that was one single dose. Did you experience any side effects?

I go for my second jab next week. Let's hope the nurse isn't so touchy with my hotness.

I got a small credit sized card yes, did you?

Yes, it looks like this.

Have you seen what's happening in India? its horrendous

It's so hard to watch, just heartbreaking. This nightmare never seems to end.

I shall follow your good advice my friend.

I hope Hope pulls through. My Mother's failing poinsettias seems to be near death but some sun and warm weather seem to have helped. Hope has been though alot!

I'm still at battle with garden every chance I get I'm out there pulling up those weeds and just as I think I've won ... up pop another family of weeds ... still, it keeps me fit and gets me out in the fresh air ..Lol

Who will pull the weeds when you are doing hard labour at the TT Quarry? I hope that family of weeds don't see you breaking rocks or else they may laugh.

Indeed, weeding is labour intensive work, not fun.

Tiny Tim is looking kind of dull at the moment, not sure he had a very good winter, so I'm hoping he will produce some more lovely green leaves and prove me wrong. I will tell him you were asking about him, it might cheer him up.

Good idea 'Lashes! The warm weather will do him well. BTW, how as your weather been?

 

[Michelle Stevens]

..to go!

everyone!​

Let's keep this thread moving!

 

[Long Lashes]

Eagle Chat​

That is quite the contrast in sizes. Thank goodness the nest can hold them.

Wow, they look massive here! That's a great shot Michelle, look how wet Lipstick is and her eaglets look as though they're bowing down to her

I do worry about them not having much room in that nest in case one of them accidently gets knocked over the edge. Maybe, one of them could go and keep Fluff company in his nest? I'm sure Liberty and Freedom would make good foster parents

Fluff wants to know how to use those wings.

He was at it again earlier and Liberty couldn't have looked less impressed ..Lol

It seems they are too occupied by eating and sleeping during my viewing.

This happens to me too, especially with Curly, Larry and Mo, they always seem to be either preening or sleeping, this was them early this morning. A pile of eaglets

I have another daft question and its rather delicate. Its only recently that I've noticed how white the branches are in Guy and Lipsticks nest, is the whiteness what I think it is?

A poor turtle for breakfast. I do have a soft spot for turtles.

Aww poor Turtle .

Fluff was a bit naughty yesterday, Liberty flew in and landed in the nest (with no food) and Fluff was pecking at her feet, she kept moving away and he followed her and carried on pecking ... ouch! I bet it hurt. In the end she quickly flew off. Naughty Fluff

Maybe more needs to been looking into regarding Freedom/Guy. :floor:

I think so too!

I don't know how far they fly in a day but the two nest are less than fifty miles apart from what I understand.

I bet that distance would be no problem for an eagle as large as Guy/Freedom, I'm even more suspicious now :laughing:



I wonder what had caught their attention here ...

I do feel a bit for Fluff being an only one, but then, I suppose he must be used to often being alone.

 

[Long Lashes]

I agree you are 100% hot

At last!

Does this mean you agree that I am the supreme hottest? :danc:

but Michelle wears the crown of supreme hotness here my friend.

Oh pfft! thats just a minor detail

 

[Long Lashes]

I have just returned from lands that appear on no map.

I didn't know that such places still existed

Where I broke bread with witches so powerful that I dare not speak their names.

Lol!

Linda and Rachel said..... no I mean the witches that I dare not speak their names, those powerful entities that have control over unearthly forces said that crown is meant to sit atop my head.

:Clol:


I hate to break this to you Biggie my friend , but everyone knows full well that I am the hottest on Telly Talk

You may compete (if you wish) to be the Number 2 hottest (N2H) or the Number 3 hottest (N3H) along with any other competitors
