COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I just discovered my age group! I am a Seenfant (Senior infant)
I have most of what I wanted as an infant, only 45-50 years later.
I don't have to go to school or work (much) .
I own my own pad. (with wifey)
I don't have a curfew (except when imposed by wifey)
I have a passport and my own tortoise.
I have ID that gets me into bars and the alcohol cave. I like wifey going and bringing me stuff back best.
The people I hang around with are generally much younger than me are fearful for the future.
I don't have much hair. Even under my armpits.
Life is good! Also, you will feel much more confused after reading this , if you are a Seenfant.
Brains of older people are slower because of repeated nosebiffings.
People do not decline mentally with age; it's just confusing sorting through the trivia and finding what you need without forgetting what it was you wanted, what was I saying ?
Scientists also believe this makes you short sighted due to the pressure of all that expanded brain on the back of your eyeballs.
Also, older people .......erm, , erm, what's excercise ?
SO THERE!!
I have more friends than I can cope with, I always remember their names, but don't spea to most of them as much as I should.
So, please don't forward this to anyone, i couldn't cope with many more people to send Christmas cards to.

Oh, and i missed out the line saying :
I get wifey's allowance every month.

I'm getting chips in the afternoon.

Are they what McDonald's call fries, what we call crisps or woody stuff you use as substrate (when you're short on baked beans)?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I am worrying, don't want him killed, so as to say. He's now my friend and Oli's.

In that case, i'll send one of the local tortoises to go and save him.
But it may, just possibly arrive too late.
But I did try.

I'm well stocked up on baked beans.
In case we run out of rice.

I typically use the chips to add some saltiness to my tortoises diets.

Good idea.
And don't forget the vinegar.

I agree!! Hopefully Tom agrees on this new substrate that keeps in humidity and is a nice snack.

I am certain he will completely approve.
Probably does this already.

 

[Killerrookie]

Let's see!! @Tom
Maybe he'll add it to the Caresheet for Sulcatas and Leopards

I'm surprised it's not there already, quite frankly.

 

[Killerrookie]

I can't stop laughing.
How are you Adam?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I can't stop laughing.
How are you Adam?

Just relaxing and preparing for my next student due in half an hour.
I'm good.
You ?

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'm so sorry your family is having such a rough patch
That is just too much to deal with at once! I hope you can lend a hand soon. Hugs

Blimey, that's bonkers!
I could buy a new ear for that, here!
Hope it works.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Who? Oli? Tidgy? Lola?

Too cold for them, wouldn't risk it.
i'll send a young tortoise from nearer the area, place called Azrou where there is a tortoise community.
But we may have to wait until they come out of hibernation.

 

[Killerrookie]

I know it's so ridiculous!! It better work or I better get my money back.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I know it's so ridiculous!! It better work or I better get my money back.

I guess if it works, it was worth it.
I've been deaf in my right ear for many years and never got it looked at!
Sort of quite like it.

Well I'm pretty young and don't want to go deaf at this age
