COLD DARK ROOM

The mysterious Gillian keeps her details a secret. But I did once see a photo of most of her hand and it looked like the hand of a YOUNG woman.

I am a mysterious person, I admit it, Ed. And I enjoy it.

Hello, Austin.
Fries, fries Frosties.

I really do love fries... especially when they just came out the fryer.

 

[Gillian M]

Her servant, possibly ?

Maybe, maybe not. See how mysterious I am?

Good evening Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.

Yuuuuuuummmyyyyyyyyy.
Me too.
But we call them chips.

 

[Gillian M]

I imagine she isn't compared to myself.

Why not Ed?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good evening Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.

Good evening; mysterious Gillian.
Good evening, worrisome Oli.

How about : "Good evening, Icicle?" Have you already forgotten him?

Hello roommates.
I just had to bring the tortoises inside again.
This should be the last night.
I was in the spare room getting a scoop of Mazuri from the tote and I came upon a stash of food: bags of rice. Gallon sized cans of boiled peanuts and containers of Vienna Sausages. Lots of them.
I called Kelly at work and she said after some hesitation that it was for "The war".
So, the GOOD news is that during the American or worldwide apocalypse, I'll have plenty of rice and peanuts.
Just in case any of y'all need some.

Oh, MY!!!!!

I must confess that at different times I have considered stockpiling food. I was REALLY scared at that time, and wanted to protect myself and hubby as best as I could. I never did buy anything, though. But I sure thought about it.
Fear does not feel good.
Although I was surprised at your post and at her choices, my next thought was remembering when i considered stockpiling food and how bad it felt to be so uncertain of the future.
At least she loves you and wants to take care of the two of you, even if her methods are not what you might use.

I know! I call them chips as well... so good.. I think I'll head to a joint and get some.

Who ?

 

[Moozillion]

I am planning a nuclear shelter for Tidgy.
Just in case. .

When I was a small child (about age 7 or 8) there was a lot of fear about nuclear war with Russia. One of our neighbors down the street actually built a concrete bunker stocked with food for him and his family in the event of war. I alway wanted to go inside and see the bunker, but my parents forbade it.

I'll get wifey to me me some this evening!

Who ?

Our dear friend, Icicle. He joined CDR yesterday or the day before.

Good morning all. Things a bit bumpy over here.

My godmother fell and smashed her hip and had to have it pinned at the start of last week. I always think of her as an aunt.

Her (second) husband was visiting her in hospital and had a heart attack. He was moved to a different hospital 30 miles away and was going to have a stent fitted, but yesterday they decided it was going to have to be a bypass.

Meanwhile, they want to discharge my godmother, who also has dementia, but that can't happen as there's nobody to care for her.

My 'cousin' is running round like a mad thing, her Dad died last year, only for her best friend to lose the battle against breast cancer this morning.

I feel a trip to Norfolk coming on to lend a hand.

Meanwhile we're under threat from Storm Doris. As the saying goes "it never rains, but it pours"

I am SO very sorry to hear of your "family's" ongoing crisis. Sounds like a really horrible time all around.
It is so good of you to go help- I know they'll be relieved. Hugs to all.

A guy I knew when I was at university had a shelter in his garden.
I went inside a couple of times.
It was incredible, most marvelous, but thankfully unnecessary (so far).

Nope, can't seem to recall.

Oh, and good afternoon, Bea.
