Oh Dear. It sounds like you definitly need a pick me up. What kind of job are you looking for? I hope it works out and that you find what you are looking for. And as far as cheering up goes, I like to read a few jokes and or watch a funny movie to cheer me up for a little while. Sometimes it does it for a long while as well.

That's very true! I just had a little vegging out period watching some funny shows on TV. I think it actually helped a bit.

Okay so far we have :
Tort People
Naughty Torts
Turtle Strangers
Tort Tweets.

Anybody else want to put a name in the Hat for draw? And Mark are you going to play the drums?

I have another suggestion for a name " Tort Tunes"

Good evening my lovely roommates.
I was only a half day away and there are so many new posts to read.
A short update from me: The surgery of my boyfriend went well. Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes for him.
I had a busy day and it is not over. But I got the time and weighted Ma & Mo today and they gained weight !
Ma had 195 gr and Mo 278. They came with 157 and 265 gr.
Maybe tomorrow new pics of them.
I wish you all a wonderful Thursday.

It's sad.
She said she didn't deserve it.
I need to be better with the "I love you" part.
It's a shame she felt that way.

It isn't a shame, I think it's actually a good thing. She's humble, she's reasonable, and low maintenance, to boot! If her reaction had been, "Well, it's about darn time!" you'd be right to wonder if there was some pent-up resentment there.

You say she's more giving than you are... Sounds to me like she isn't doing anything out of obligation, for brownie points, or karma, or whatever. She does it because that's the way she is...and the girl loves you.

Just accept and appreciate it. One of the things that makes her so special is because she doesn't expect things like this.

Well said.
And you're correct. She is wonderful.
I could have not have found a better wife.

And she's been married to you for 20 years. You must be doing something right!

Glad your boyfriends surgery went well. I didn’t realize he was your boyfriend.

That is very sad, these late cold snaps catch us all out but especially difficult for farmers.

We are expecting the tail end of Storm Helene to batter us from tomorrow evening and for the next couple of days so weather warnings in place. We've had strong winds and rain today but it's going to get worse.

The new love of my life goes in this morning to have some teeth removed. I don’t know how many yet.
I love this dog so much and he’s only been with us a month.

Shame poor little thing.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm Anne, and I lived in England for about three years. The first year, I lived about 10 miles south of Blackpool. The latter two years we lived in the Leeds area. In fact, those are the only three years I've lived more than 30 miles away from Florida's capital city.

Welcome Anne, I hope you enjoy our little cold and dark rooms. I am Carol and I live in Cape Town. I hope you have fun in here and remember we do not judge people, we are more than likely to be judged ourselves as we can be a bit crazy sometimes.

Those strong winds, named Storm Ali, killed two people yesterday. They have been pretty bad, over 100mph, up north and in Ireland

Good morning all. Yoga day today. It is still pretty grey and blustery out, but we Storm Ali barely touched us thank goodnesss.

 

[CarolM]

No.
Just used to going to work.

You need to look at it like you are on leave at the moment. Until you can feel better about not working and can accept that you are retired.

The Yaris has been a great car. All of our vehicles are great. But Kelly has never actually gotten a vehicle that she actually chose. It's always been one I chose for her. Cars and motorcycles. Always a vehicle I thought she'd like. Not one she picked out.

Aaahhhh. I understand now.
