COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Ogh....of course, our trees came tumbling down while I was out of town..... Lots of clean up work (on-going)...

Got wood.....anyone need some?

Do you have any trees left?

 

[Yvonne G]

I don't get it.

Me neither.

Oh no. That is so sad.

We paddled pretty much all day Saturday and Sunday in the rain. Lots of rain. The best day/night was friday, but there were terrible winds too. We did have great kayaking....our spirits were high.

What a difference. Looks like the floor inside the tent might be a bit under water???

I pretty much did when the children were small. Actually with sports kit and the like the number of loads only dropped off when they left home [emoji849]

So I have always wondered, do you then still separate your colors and do more than one load? We obviously due to the drought only do laundry once a week. Before the restrictions we did it three times a week.

At this rate you won't have a forest for very much longer. I hate to see this happening.

It was probably more fun in a dismal swamp. It was so windy here last night that I was thinking tornado. Come to find out some touchdowns near hear. I usually don't worry but I kind of did around 3AM this morning. It's a good thing you have tools.

This is such a shame.

I would think with all the torts you have you would not need to weed eat. But then I remembered you still have areas that are not occupied by torts.

Yes, it's an acre. About half of it is in horse pasture, and the other half, the house and tortoise yards. But the tortoise yards get wildly overgrown when we have a wet winter, like this past one was. And some of the tortoises are hibernating, so their yards need attention. Lots of tall weeds to take care of.

I never do...but colorfast clothes can be washed together.

All caught up. Good Evening Everyone. Today was a really busy day. And I did not have a chance to check in yesterday. I am waiting for my box for the torts so that they can start going outside for longer, I don't want to put them out during the day until I have it otherwise they won't have somewhere warm to go to when it gets cold. I am so impatient. But hopefully it will be done soon.

I take my hat off to you with the amount of work you always to do.

I have to separate. So we can definitely not wash everyday. [emoji23]

 

[CarolM]

Me neither.

So glad I am not the only one.

One time we bought a pig head that was so big. I bought a new blade for my saws all and cut it in half. We had froze the head so it was easier to cut. We have a Latin store here in Florida that sells all that crazy stuff.

Geez, Ray! Opening the freezer and finding half a pig head is somehow even worse than finding a whole one! LOL!

Yeah, I'm one of those that doesn't want it to look at me while I eat it.

 

[Cathie G]

That's what I said.

That's what's really nice about the CDR. My son isn't a tortoise forum member and he's thinking about the same things. He'll come for a visit, then start talking about a discussion going on in this chat room.

 

[Cathie G]

Yayyyyy

I need more little buckets. Our city won't allow rain barrels because of mosquitoes.

Well they do say that great minds think alike.

With only 2 of us, I do one load of “light coloured and whites” and one of “dark coloured”. I have enough to do one of each once a week with just the two of us. We have a Miele machine like this
