COLD DARK ROOM

[Bee62]

The movie I tried real hard to get out of my mind was The Exorcist. Having been raised a Catholic, and gone to Catholic schools, the devil was an ingrained part of my life. I saw the movie when I was a young mother of three children. After that I was afraid to go into the garage to put the clothes in the washer and dryer (as if the devil can't also get me in the house????) I was deeply impressed by that movie and it took me a very long time to get the scenes out of my head. Even today, when I see that a movie of that type is about to be promo'd on TV, I turn my head and say, "La, la, la, la, la, la" outloud until the promo is over. Imagine that: I've managed to live 80 years without the devil getting me!

That`s why I don`t go to church and don`t believe in anything that any preacher of any church says. It is false to plant fear and pain with the devil or hell in childrens brains. I hate this.
I only believe that we and all animals have a soul that lives forever and get`s into another human body or in an animals body when the "old" body dies.
The Exorcist is a brutal Horror movie and I can understand you very well that you avoid it.

Good evening all. I have received a lovely card from Ed! Thank you!

I have been very busy. I even did the ironing!

I have a (homemade) chicken and mushroom pie ready to go in the oven for dinner too

I do hope my freshly polished domesstic-goddess halo isn't blinding you here in the gloom. I will avoid polishing any jellyfish this evening.

Thank you so much Linda. As long as I live I will sing ..... and for Christmas I`ll sing "Holy Night" in German for you and all my friends here in the Cold Dark Room.

I filled in Kent County Council’s survey. In response to the question about how I thought the council could make savings, I suggested that they cut the salary of the top earners starting with the Leader who earns £245k. He is one of the highest paid council leaders in the country... possibly the highest paid.

Wow...£245 is a TON of cash. I’m sure they could cut that salary...has to be plenty of capable people who would do the job fir £150.

Hi Gillian. Thank you for asking. Yes, I am better today.

 

[Gillian M]

Hi Gillian. Thank you for asking. Yes, I am better today.

Gad to hear that, Sabine.

Same weather in Germany. Foggy and 2 C cold too.

Very cold here as well.Temperature dropped so suddenly to only 10 degrees C.

 

[JoesMum]

Very cold here as well.Temperature dropped so suddenly to only 10 degrees C.

Toasty compared with those of us in northern Europe, but chilly nonetheless!

 

[Kristoff]

Of course I did. I have been told that sharing is caring.

Sometimes...

G’day All

Below freezing night time temps coupled with cold day time temperatures means it’s time to bring the potted fig trees into the garage. Yesterday i brought in about 20 trees that are in 2-3 gallon pots, today is the larger ones. Garage is getting fuller and fuller the colder it gets. Summer is over :-(. But, we keep looking for a house with some Sully land in F L O R I D A . Maybe by next year we’ll be there!

Ed loves it there! @ZEROPILOT

 

[Kristoff]

It must have been very difficult to cho-cho-choose the right gift!

I like port with brandy when I have a cold.
It doesn't cure you but certainly helps you forget you're ill!

Hey, this is not the platform for train puns!

I hear you about treating the cold. You drink some, then keep away from children, just as it says on the bottle.

 

[Kristoff]

Is there ever any space left after all the plants are packed away into the garage?

There'll obviously be plenty of spaces in F L O R I D A...

I don't see a picture of that pie... Must be in my blind spot...

Yaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy ! If you would ask Sully if she wants to move to Florida, she would say: YES !!!!

Somebody, please tell me at last: Is Sully a girl???
