Will do, her uncle makes his own beer and shit so we could have a good ol sesh ;)
Right on, home brew is where it's at. I did my first brew with the Mr. Beer homebrew kit. Then I did some with a roommate using cannabis leaves as one of the ingredients. It was a pale ale, and we called it "Canna Pale Ale". Delicious.

my tortoise is has some slight bleeding on his front leg and i have no idea what it could be. i'm not even sure where i could take the guy to get looked at, either. on top of all that, i don't want to spend too much money on a tortoise that i took as a favor to a friend when he moved into a tiny studio apartment.

but i don't want the guy to suffer, either.

Well tortoises are pretty resilient and tough, so it may not be anything to worry about, but I think all vets should be trained in all animals, reptiles are a pretty common exotic pet too, surprised they wouldn't.

Oh god I feel like total shit today, I think I have the flu. Sore throat, hot and cold flashes, super sensitive skin where it like hurts when your clothes brush against your arms and shit. I dont feel like I'm gonna puke but at the same time I dont feel like I'm not gonna puke, its a dangerous middle ground. :(

Yeah most vets dont deal with reptiles. Ive always owned reptiles and they need to go toan exotic vet. Luckily there is one right down the road.

Did you know turtle/tortoise shells can grow back? I took in a turtle that had a large piece of shell missing and they said it would grow back. That's just cool.

As for the bleeding on your tortoise's leg, maybe it fell when trying to climb something? Can you use hydrogen peroxide on a reptile? Thats what I use for my dogs when they get a cut. Then I bandage it up.

I just know in Florida, almost every vet has someone trained in exotic animals. I've had no problem finding a vet for my my sugar gliders to get a check up. Even still, I think every vet should he trained for lizards, turtles and snakes, would think that'd be the most common exotic, maybe birds might be more common but only knowing about cats and dogs would get pretty boring. Not saying they should learn about every single animal, but should learn about the common exotic ones at least.

Today was uneventful. Just finished up a cup of tea with a tiny bit of lemon and some honey for my throat. The most lively thing I did all day was migrate like mold (carrying a blanket and everything) from my bed to the couch and then back to my bed a few minutes ago lol. Took some pm flu meds and two 3mg tabs of melatonin, hoping it kicks in soon to help me get some more sleep.
