COLD DARK ROOM

Marco2Bear said the name of the plant that I couldn't quite remember. It's Virginia Creeper...but poison ivy also mimics other plants. Like bushes and such. Poison ivy always has 3 leaves on each leaf stem. If you find one with 2 or 4 it's not poison ivy.

I'll take your word for it... The reason I got into poison ivy is because I was geocaching* on a trail in Canada. I've learned my lesson now. I hope.

* Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a GPS receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world. (from Wikipedia)

Your dog looks like a rare species of bat in that photo!!

SNAP'ish!

Facebook tells me I have to download messenger to receive my messages, but the download process wants my mobile number. I don 't have a mobile number. Is there a way around this, anyone know?

Are you using it on your PC?

The French will dispute this Over here ... and in France ... they’re known as Alsatians and Alsace is in North East France.

To be fair, Alsace has changed hands between France and Germany many times over the centuries. Goodness only knows who owned it when the dog breed was developed

I didn't know that. It's German Shepherd in Russian as well as in Turkish, but the Turks also call it the German Wolf

Now come on Lena. You are well aware that Baked Beans are the only substrate recommended in the CDR.

I had a vague notion I was being sacrilegious when I asked about a possible alternative... Sorry!

 

[Kristoff]

Good mornooning, roommates! Wishing everyone a Terrific Tuesday!

Photo 2/12. "Scary". This took me directly to Roskilde Museum, home to skulls and Viking-era treasures, Christian symbols and haunting sound effects. A truly atmospheric place... But first I stopped by “Ragnarok”, a seven-sided sculpture depicting the apocalypse in front of the museum.

My favorite chocolate shop is in Berlin. It's called Rausch Schokoladenhaus, and it has Berlin's landmarks out of chocolate.

The Brandenburg Gate. (Photos off the web.)

Gosh, I love Berlin almost as much as I love good chocolate!

Wow. Those are too nice to eat!

 

[CarolM]

Me neither, but I'm sure it's big.

Universal!!!

Photo 3/12. "Twisted"
Still in Roskilde Museum, I observed some of the Viking-era ornaments and weapons with spiral motifs decorating them.



Then, I headed to Roskilde's perhaps biggest attraction -- the Viking Ship Museum. Apart from the (almost) original Viking longships inside the museum, you could see boats on the water that were built using Viking techniques. I focused on ropes, many of which were also made here, and you can see some freshly oiled ones.



Now, isn't she a beauty?

Good mornooning everyone. I am heading to my physio/osteopath today.

It’s 4 weeks tomorrow since the cyst ruptured in the back of my knee and I still have bruising and swelling (I was warned). I need someone to look at all of me rather than just the injured bit and work out what I need to get myself walking straight as both legs now hurt.

The NHS hospital physio has been good, but the appointment is so short and they will only look at the injured leg. When I mention the other one they just say it is taking the strain of the injured one... I know that. What can I do about it?

Good Luck. That is the very frustrating part about most physio's. and a lot of the time it is not only one area that is causing the problem it is the culmination of lots of areas which result in the problem.
That reminds me I need to make an appointment with mine too.

Universal!!!

That statement leaves me no space to argue!

 

[CarolM]

Would it work as a substrate?

Can you imagine, you would have the substrate disappearing on a regular basis.

Baked Beans it is!

Wow. I am going to run out of words soon. But I will say it backwards as well. woW!!

That’s why I like the osteopath too. They look at your whole body and work out what’s going on and don’t necessarily end up directly treating the bit of you that you think is the problem.
