COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

That's some pretty darned good looking fruit! I don't have occasion to use limes, but I do like to cut into one and leave it on the counter in the kitchen. It has a very nice scent.

Also good to leave in the fridge.

Happy Friday!!

Icing my back, drinking coffee and watching Dr. Phil.

Tomorrow is my daughter’s 13th and I haven’t planned anything. She has 2 basketball games this weekend and I’m supposed to take her and friends shopping at the Brandy Melville store.

Cutie pies. Sorry your back is still giving you problems I hope the icing helps. Happy Birthday to your daughter for tomorrow. Just in case I forget.

Poor doggies all pooped out!

I see you have DirecTV. I've recently switched from Comcast to DirecTV too. I got the basic package, and am now missing quite a few of my old channels. But it's quite a bit cheaper, and I needed that. I'm getting it half price for a year.

Half price for a year is quite a saving. Well done.

Yes...the price for cable TV has really jumped with all of these “package deals.” One would think given the various competitors, that prices might even lower. Nope. We stopped our Verizon cable TV service a few years back and only use it for basic internet service. Our phone goes via internet as well.

So for TV we receive “over the air” digital TV broadcasts that all major networks are required by the FCC to broadcast. We get all the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC), a ton of local channels, as well as public TV like Maryland Public TV and PBS. We often watch international news Al-Jazeera, France24 via internet/TV.

Of course, We miss out on the occasional sports program or news shows (like CNN), but it’s nice NOT paying a bill for TV.

I imagine it would be. We were paying around 90 usd for DSTV. And we are now paying 16 usd for netflix instead. And we don't miss DSTV at all.

I bet you could make a key lime pie with those even though they’re not key limes.

Snap.

Good evening all. I am still struggling a bit with this cold/virus. It has really sapped my energy.

I have just been admiring my CDR cards before put them away

Hello, nobody in particular.
Welcome to Tidgy's Dad's Cold Dark Room.
Not expecting a lot of visitors in this pointless place, but this is where I live now.
It's good in here.
If anyone does visit, please feel free to say what you want( within forum guidelines, of course) and I will be happy to be silly, slightly insult you or ignore you completely which you are most welcome to do to me.
I will of course venture out occasionally, when I think I can be useful or annoying, but otherwise I live here now.
No advertising, let's see who spots me.
This is where i belong.
Tidgy is most unconcerned.

Hay...do I get a point? Thanks in advance. Lol

Welcome to the Cold Dark Rooms. Pull up an armadillo and have a hot chocolate (because it is night time here in Cape Town).
If your carrots go missing don't worry it is only the snow leopard who is harmless. Poke a jellyfish for some light and don't step on a hedgehog because it is rather painful.
I am Carol from Cape Town. We are a bunch of nutty pun loving roommates from different parts of the world.

Thanks Carol. I love armodillos. They are so cute. But I'm just wondering because you are from Cape Town...do you get to play with ostriches? Just wondering. We are in the early stages of darkness.

Sure. 1 point for Cathie.

Regarding the dump cake. . . I don't eat seeds of any kind, so I'm going to try some other kind of canned pie filling. I won't be going to the store until next Thursday, but when I make the cake I'll let you know how it turns out.
