I still have a 125cc red scooter(Zephyr is the name but it looks like all the other generic ones you see around) for sale was asking 400,000 now will take 350,000. It has some scratches and the front glove box type thing is broken so I use duct tape to keep it closed. Yet, it runs great just took it for a good ride today. Its much better than the 50cc types because you can auctually move with someone on the back and it really accelerates better.

The rice cooker I bought maybe 1 1/2 years ago and used maybe 10 times. Its small and white with a pink handle. Thought it would be good to have but then realized how loazy I am and how easy the premade packs are. asking 15,000

Also my pet turtle that I have had for 3 years needs a new home. He was one of the really little ones that you see at walmart or emart but now he has grown. He(well not sure if it is a he or she don't know how to check) is a little smaller than my palm now. Very well behaved pet, no barking, clawing up furniture, or humping visitors legs. He lives in a large Kimche mixing bowl that you see ajuma's selling stuff out of at old timey markets. I also have a smaller plastic aquarium type thing that is now a little too small for him. You can have him for free if you promise to give him a good home or just lie and say that you are. He come with a new bottle of food and the two tank type things.

I am in the Sinsadong-Apkujung area would be best if you could come and pick these things up becuase I am pretty hectic right now getting ready to go home on Monday the 9th.
Please email me at [email protected] or send me a text 016-9215-5378. Try not to call as my phone has been kinda sketchy lately best if you send a text.

Thanks

Is a turtle the right pet for your family?

Did you know that the sale of turtles less than 4 inches has been banned in the United States since 1975? This is because turtles pose a high risk of spreading disease, especially to children. The ban by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has prevented an estimated 100,000 cases of salmonellosis annually in children.

Despite the health risk, turtles have become very popular pets in recent years. Their slow movements and tough colorful shells may make them seem like the perfect family pet. However, turtles carry potentially dangerous bacteria called Salmonella.

Don�t be fooled:

Just because you can�t see the bacteria doesn�t mean they aren�t there. Salmonella are naturally occurring bacteria in turtles and those with Salmonella usually do not appear sick in any way. In addition, turtles do not shed Salmonella all of the time. So, just because a turtle might have one negative test for Salmonella doesn�t mean that they are not infected. It could mean that the turtle was not shedding Salmonella on the day it was tested.

Salmonella bacteria cause a human disease called salmonellosis. Reptiles, including turtles, transmit an estimated 74,000 cases of salmonellosis to people in the United States annually. Amphibians, including frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders, can also transmit salmonellosis. Some cases may cause severe illness, hospitalization and even death in susceptible people such as children under 5, the elderly, and people who have lowered natural resistance to disease due to pregnancy, cancer, chemotherapy, organ transplants, diabetes, liver problems or other diseases.

There have been a number of turtle-associated salmonellosis cases recently in the United States [1], [2].

What can be done to prevent turtle-associated salmonellosis?

Do not have a turtle in any household that includes children under 5, the elderly, or people who have lowered natural resistance to disease due to pregnancy, cancer, chemotherapy, organ transplants, diabetes, liver problems or other diseases. A family expecting a child should remove any pet reptile or amphibian from the home before the infant arrives.
Remember, turtles are cute, but contaminated. Handle all turtles and surfaces that have come in contact with turtles as if they are contaminated with Salmonella, because there is a good possibility that they are.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after handling turtles or their cages, or after contact with pet feces. Do not touch your face, other people or any surface until hands are washed.
Wash surfaces that the turtle or its cage has come in contact with.
Separate the turtle from possible contact with food:
Do not allow turtles to roam freely about a home or living area, and especially do not allow them in food preparation areas.
Kitchen sinks should not be used to bathe turtles or to wash their dishes, cages, or aquariums.
If bathtubs are used for these purposes, they should be cleaned thoroughly and disinfected with bleach.
Separate the turtle from contact with high-risk individuals:
Don't handle a turtle and an infant (e.g., feed, change diaper) at the same time.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling an infant or preparing a baby bottle.
Persons at increased risk for infection or serious complications from salmonellosis (e.g., children under 5, the elderly, or people who have lowered natural resistance to disease due to pregnancy, cancer, chemotherapy, organ transplants, diabetes, liver problems or other diseases) should avoid contact with reptiles and amphibians and any items that have been in contact with them[3].
Turtles should not be allowed in childcare centers or nursing homes.
Turtles in public settings (e.g., zoos and exhibits) should be kept from direct or indirect contact with patrons except in designated animal-contact areas equipped with adequate hand-washing facilities.
Food and drink should not be allowed in animal contact areas.

I've had a few inquiries about the gibberish I wrote.

It comes from a Roald Dahl book titled "Esio Trot" which is "Tort-oise" backwards. It's a poem that one of the characters creates to make another character believe that he can make a tortoise grow.

The poem, if read from right to left, should actually read:

Tortoise Tortoise
Bigger Bigger Get
Toroise on come
Up shoot! Up puff! Up grow!
Up swell! Up Blow! Up spring!
1 gulp! 2 stuff! Guzzle! Gorge!
Fat on put, tortoise, fat on put!
Food gobble! On get! On get!

Couldn't help but think of this poem, seeing as how the first post mentioed a turtle that had grown.
