COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Hi Carol *waves*
I’m good. How is your day?

It was also good. On holiday so busy with all the little things you dont get to do while at work.

 

[CarolM]

Actually, I was thinking of starting a totally separate thread about the fossil and stabilizing it. Maybe other people with fossils would join in!

Can I join in? I will just have to find a fossil.

 

[CarolM]

Since the stabilization of my fossil involves plastic polymer dissolved in acetone, I can't do that safely inside the house and it's WAAAAAYYYY too cold to do it outside right now!
At the advice of the fossil forum experts, I'm going to tuck Gompah safely away in a drawer somewhere until the weather warms up a bit. I will probably practice painting actual stabilizer on something else first- like maybe a brick- before I work on the fossil. I want to be clear on just how the material spreads etc New adventures in the offing!!!!!!!

Who needs to go to gym. You have your very own private instructor there as long as you pay him with warmth and greens he will be happy.

Indeed....a slippery 70 lb Sully is a good work out.

......and Winter’s cruel hand rises again to wreak a misery mess on the greater Washington DC area. Salted, slippery roads soon become the norm.

Definitely practice.... I’m thinking you only get one good chance.

It'll just be a conversational thread- if you can talk/type, then join right in!!!

*raises hand* I can attest to that!

Lots of lovely fossils in South Africa, but they are very rare to the outside world as it is illegal to export them or even take home one in your suitcase, they most all stay in the country, every one.

He was stinky in the lower region. We were cleaning his tank so I decided to give him a bath also.
No clue if you’re suppose to soak them often.

I've heard it is good to give them soaks on occasion, especially when they are starting it show signs that they will shed. Helps the old skin come off easier if it is hydrated.

Oooh look!
There's Tangier!
You're nearer to me than I thought!

Is that why the bath in your avatar photo is so small?

Makes sense.
Hello, Bambam!

Hello, Bambam!

Hello Adam!
I hope everyone in the CDR has had a better day than me. Spent the last 4hours in town, going from one store to the next trying to find pants that fit right. Being 6ft is not easy.. nothing is long enough or they don't fit my hips right. I am one of the few women who despises clothes shopping!

wifey loves clothes shopping for me, but not for herself.
I have to do most of that which is very difficult.
She loves make-up and perfume shopping though.
And sometimes shoes, but not too often.
Pants has a different meaning in the UK, but I think I know what you mean!
