COLD DARK ROOM

[Maro2Bear]

Would a che attached to the roof be safe to use instead of the heat panel, Mark?
I'm thinking of getting an insulated dog kennel the same shape as Sully's house for Lola.
It would be indoors and I am thinking of using a che inside it instead of having my central heating on 24/7.

• Sure a CHE (or two) can work. I kind of like the slow warm heat of the RHP better and they only hang down an inch. Spread the heat out nicely. Let me know if u want some closer pix. We fully lined that box with plywood and hard insulation, top, sides and bottom. RHP on top, with a Kane heat mat on the floor level.

I'd suggest a game of hide and seek.

IT IS FRIDAY!!!! Yayy. I have a busy weekend ahead, running shoe shopping for Jarrod, two kiddies birthday presents to get, one party to go to and a photo shoot for my Torts. The wind is pumping here, but the sun is shining.

I went to the doc, yesterday because for the last two to three/four months (I forget exactly how long - it always seems forever and time merges for me for these things) I have had a pain in my right upper arm. Every time I moved it in a backward direction I will get a sharp pain. I thought that maybe that because it might be a strain or tear or something, that it was not healing as I am right handed. But the doc said last night that it should not be taking that long to heal if it is a muscle injury. So he thinks that it is either a problem with my rotator cuff OR it could be a problem with my neck either a pinched nerve or spinal problems (seen as how I already have spinal problems at the lower part of my back). So he gave me a quarter zone injection. If the pain goes away with the injection then it is the rotator cuff which is the problem, if not then they have to do further tests to see if it is the spine or neck/pinched nerve which causing it. I am really hoping that it is the rotator cuff which is the issue and hopefully the injection helps and sorts out the problem. As I do not look forward to having to go through the whole process that I went through with my back. Besides being expensive, it probably also means that I will be having these sorts of problems for the rest of my life and having discs going bad on me. So please hold thumbs and think good thoughts that it is nothing serious.

Now that the bad news is done, I will give you the good news: IT IS FRIDAY!!

Sorry to hear you are suffering Carol, but I hope the jabs help and that you have had a good Friday in spite of the pain.

Thanks Mark.
The kennel I've been looking at comes fully insulated and I've found a farm company that sells Kane mats in Lincolnshire - luckily in the town where my nephew lives - so will try to get hold one of those too. It will work out cheaper than my gas bills in the long run.

Hi everyone it's Saturday here already!
Only taken me a couple of hours to catch up!
Hope everyone has a good weekend and I'll see you soon.
Nos Da!

My ribs are healing on schedule but my leg is giving me problems. Went and had a CT scan on the muscle to see if the way it was attached to my femur has ripped away. Will know Tues.

Oh my. That sounds very painful.

 

[CarolM]

Ok - long or short story on the last log project? Silent votes will be counted in Corner 13 of the ballroom.

Long

 

[CarolM]

Ok give me a minute to find corner 13. Just stepped on a hedgehog that CarolM told me to watch out for.

Ouch. I hope there are no quills stuck in your foot.

Would Cadbury's count?

Nope not enough nutrition to survive on it for long. But good thought.

No more initiations after the incident with the leprechaun. (PS watch out for that guy he's a real jerk) This here's an international room of Tortoise friends, of which I was once King for a week, true story.

Lol.
