COLD DARK ROOM

[144 Grandpa Turtle]

Wisdom has spoken!

But I noticed your birthday is January 4 ( No year ) are you old enough to be drinking wine ? Sh Sh I won't tell anybody !

Something not quite right happened to me today: I tried to enlarge a photo on a book cover using my thumb and the index finger. The way I'd do it on a touchscreen. This was a real, tangible hard-cover.

There must be a name for this disease.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

 

[Moozillion]

Actually, Bea, you deserve 40 points for having nerves of steel - after an experience like that, it would take me more than a glass of wine to calm down.

Well, we DO get tornadoes around here, often associated with hurricanes, so we've had some practice.
But this was the closest call I've had in a very long time.

stay safe mrs B x

Thank you! I am!!!

Haha. I've been 18 for quite a few years now. And then 21 for a few years more.

A few years back I was buying some chocolates infused with liquor in Munich, and the shopkeeper asked if I was already 18. Sadly, this will never happen again. And if it does, I would know it's one of Ed's cannibals.

Time for bed. Daughter doesn't have to go to kindergarten tomorrow, so she's sure to wake up before 6.

 

[Gillian M]

Good morning, roommates!
Linda, hope your in-laws behave better than my MIL this morning. :/ It was awful. But nothing that wouldn't go away with a few glasses and a few months of patience - and then I'll be in Denmark.
Anyway, Kristoff provided me with an outdoor therapy session. He's amazing. And he ate a bit.

Hi Lena hope you're well.

Ok. I am getting points deducted for this Virtues game, but I am well aware of it.
We've had a series of tornadoes come through here today. It's been rainy with thunderstorms, but as I was coming home from errands when my hubby called me to let me know there was a tornado sighted in the next town over, headed for OUR town, and that the St. Tammany Parish/County Emergency Agency was urging everyone to take cover immediately. Luckily, I was near the drug store we use, so I whipped into their parking lot and into the store. Several other people sheltered in there with me. Was on the phone with hubby several times, since I couldn't get the weather station on my cell phone, for some reason. He grabbed one of our cats (the other was under the bed), his coffee and sheltered in laundry room. The tornado apparently passed very near our area- one person was on the phone with her sister who teaches in the next town over. They had the kids all in the center halls of the buildings for safety, and debris was flying all over. After about a half hour the storm system passed and the warning was lifted so I went home.
Other tornadoes formed in New Orleans with significant damage. A total of 5 tornados (at least) confirmed touching down.
The crazy thing is that once the storm system passes, the sun comes out and the sky is blue! At least until the next band.
We had lunch at a local bistro, and I had a glass of wine, so MINUS points for me.
We're all fine here on the Northshore- just messes in several areas, as far as we know.
Last report 10,000 people in New Orleans without power and lots of property damage.

I've only just started using the electronic tools. I may yet see you there!

Monty is back from the vet and has NOT had a recurrence of his bladder infection.
He did, however, have "very full anal glands" which the tech took care of.
She should get a medal!!!!

Time for a nap. MUCH too much excitement today!!!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm a little slow but you and Adam are trying to quit? That's wonderful!!

Take it one hour at a time! The struggle is real, just like trying to lose weight!

You've got this!!

Not me.
I love smoking, but today is chastity day in The Cold Dark Room.
But I may switch to e-cigarettes at some point.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Watched this as a teenager. You are going to hate it, I'm afraid.

Yup.
I did.

Sence it's chastity day I'll refrain from sex !

Goodness!
wifey's just been keeping me informed of all this, really hoping there's not too much damage or loss of life.
We're all hoping it passes by quickly.
Blue skies, return, please.

Oh, and one shouldn't have points deducted for that.
it's entirely acceptable in the circumstances.
But I'm horrible.
So minus one.

News story to back us husbands when we tell the wife we didn't here her !

40 points!
Mother Theresa wouldn't get that many!

Good night, everyone. Be safe.

Night night, Lena.
Sleep well.
