ladybug15057 [ 09 Mar 2010, 03:34 am ]

Doing a search for this Crawler, seems it archives. Hope it archives the updated info for when one may search info on hermies.

ladybug15057 [ 09 Mar 2010, 03:33 am ]

Seems Heritrix [Crawler] is still crawling around today too.

emmac350 [ 08 Mar 2010, 01:39 pm ]

I see it too, Marie! Strange...

ladybug15057 [ 08 Mar 2010, 11:33 am ]

new crawler Heritrix [Crawler], jamieleah, ladybug15057, Yahoo [Bot]

Wai [ 07 Mar 2010, 01:33 pm ]

Yay, Eris is back up after his fourth moult under my care - he was very fast this time!

ladybug15057 [ 07 Mar 2010, 12:29 pm ]

If anything one should change towels for each use if they want to avoid many bacteria, or use paper towels.

ladybug15057 [ 07 Mar 2010, 12:29 pm ]

Working in a psyche hosp. for years once a hand towel/towel is used it begins to grow bacteria.

emmac350 [ 07 Mar 2010, 09:13 am ]

She said she's already had 2 emails about them. I don't want to sound desperate or mean, but I really wish there was a way to say that no one around here can give them as good of a home as I could without sounding catty. :(

emmac350 [ 07 Mar 2010, 08:26 am ]

I might be adopting two more hermit crabs! Finally saw an ad on Craigslist, but they want $15 for two crabs in an awful setup (no mention of water treatments, gravel in a critter keeper...). I said I would take them if they are unsuccessful selling them.

Wai [ 06 Mar 2010, 09:52 pm ]

It was a tip I heard ages ago... if there's a towel near by, I will dry my hands, otherwise I don't bother.

ladybug15057 [ 05 Mar 2010, 11:02 am ]

We use disinfectant soap throughout our home, and was told wash hands for at least 20-30 seconds then rinse and dry.

ladybug15057 [ 05 Mar 2010, 11:01 am ]

Never heard that harmful bacteria stay on hands unless dried well?

emmac350 [ 04 Mar 2010, 11:55 pm ]

We put the toothbrushes through the dishwasher. It's what the husband's family always did after one of them had a cold. Thanks for the well wishes, guys!

Hermie's rule [ 04 Mar 2010, 11:27 pm ]

I wonder why that would be, Wai. Hi everybody! It's been ages since life has allowed me to check in. Hows everyone doing?

Wai [ 04 Mar 2010, 11:10 pm ]

Also, remember to dry your hands after washing them. Apparently most of the harmful bacteria and germs stay on your hands unless you dry them after a wash.

ladybug15057 [ 04 Mar 2010, 03:20 pm ]

And depending, don't forget the toilet seat!!

ladybug15057 [ 04 Mar 2010, 03:20 pm ]

Go around the house and wipe off door knobs, cabinet handles, etc. with alcohol as well, not lysol....

ladybug15057 [ 04 Mar 2010, 03:19 pm ]

Don't forget to buy the 90% proof alcohol. Use on toothbrush every time you use it so not to reinfect yourself.

emmac350 [ 04 Mar 2010, 11:59 am ]

I had a similar thing a while back, CJ. I had a rash and swollen joints too, turns out it was one of the less common forms of strep (never had any throat symptoms, go figure) that the doctor almost didn't test for.

CrabbyJo [ 04 Mar 2010, 11:15 am ]

They don't seem to know what she has - sore throat mostly, congested sinuses. Strep test and mono test comes back negative. Oy!

CrabbyJo [ 04 Mar 2010, 11:15 am ]

My niece is visiting from Delaware, and is running a fever of 104*! She went to the emergency room, got penicillin, got better, but next day, fever back up again. Delayed her flight home and is visiting an actual doctor today. Poor kid! She's 19.

emmac350 [ 04 Mar 2010, 08:27 am ]

Haha, I know how you feel, Marie! I gave it to my husband, unfortunately, so even though I'm starting to feel better (although I still have coughing attacks randomly), he's feeling awful. :( Such is life, I guess. I actually slept through the night last night!

ladybug15057 [ 03 Mar 2010, 02:16 pm ]

Hope the other 50 pass me by.

ladybug15057 [ 03 Mar 2010, 02:15 pm ]

When I went to the doctors I was told there are 52 different strains of it going around... Dang I have only had 2.

ladybug15057 [ 03 Mar 2010, 02:15 pm ]

Emma, when I got one of the virus's going around it took 2-3 weeks! (same as my sis-in-law)

ladybug15057 [ 03 Mar 2010, 02:14 pm ]

Dae is restoring the CSJ and doing updates on the progress in the CrabbyWiki shout box.

CrabbyJo [ 03 Mar 2010, 08:23 am ]

crabs. I meant crabs. lol

CrabbyJo [ 03 Mar 2010, 08:22 am ]

Wai, you now know how I feel I think! I've given up on telling my 4 medium PPs apart, and the E's are running a close second, only because I have so many shells in the tank that someone could have swapped out and another picked up a shell like it, and they have grown SO much some of them! Silly crab.

CrabbyJo [ 03 Mar 2010, 08:21 am ]

Wow long time since the last chat post! Glad you're back Wai, hope you're feeling beter Emma, and it looks like CSJ is down for the count for a bit, I hope it stops giving Dae problems! Lets think positive thoughts. :)

emmac350 [ 02 Mar 2010, 02:01 pm ]

This cold has been kicking my butt since Friday...when will it end???

Wai [ 20 Feb 2010, 01:37 am ]

Thanks guys, I'm back in Australia! All 12 of my hermit crabs are okay, but one or two of them may have moulted, now I have trouble figuring out who is who lol.

Wai [ 20 Feb 2010, 01:35 am ]

Yeah, the plane didn't explode in mid-air and I made it home safely! :D

Ayume [ 19 Feb 2010, 05:53 am ]

Have a safe flight Wai

Wai [ 19 Feb 2010, 03:40 am ]

I will be back in Australia next time I go online, assuming HK airport doesn't have functioning free Wi-Fi.

Wai [ 19 Feb 2010, 01:21 am ]

Yep, that would be great! :D

maxcat710 [ 18 Feb 2010, 10:11 pm ]

Wai, back on deck and keen to catch up with yourself and Tracey. I am free next Wednesday or the Wednesday following, lets catch up! Chris

Wai [ 17 Feb 2010, 04:26 pm ]

Thanks guys, it's great to be back on duty. :P

CrabbyJo [ 17 Feb 2010, 06:18 am ]

welcome back Wai!

ladybug15057 [ 16 Feb 2010, 04:06 am ]

Welcome back to the internet world Wai!!

emmac350 [ 16 Feb 2010, 02:38 am ]

Haha, I left the site open on my computer. Sorry about that! Happy Valentine's Day to you too!
