COLD DARK ROOM

[Maro2Bear]

Just wanted to let all visitors to the CDR know I might not stop by for a day or 2.

I'm having cataract surgery tomorrow (Wed)! I've been waiting a year for this, and it's finally happening!

So if you see me, it will be out in the warm lit world.

I've arranged with some hedgehogs to ride them like skates since I can't drive. They have promised they will stay close together and not stretch my parts beyond what is bearable...I have not done a split in.....thinking......well, never.

So please, don't let Montgomery fill them full of the fiery liquid tonight? Please?!?

And I'll see you ....when I can see you! [emoji102]

Best of luck!

There is something strange going on with TFO today.
When I click on my Alerts I come to the CDR as usual with all the pages and everyone's posts shown.
But if you go to the forums list and click on CDR, it takes me to Karen and Ben's posts but no pages so you can't see all the the posts.
Hmmm - a mystery!!

I can't find Karen's and Ben's posts or the good wishes I added anywhere in the 'normal' CDR now.
For those who don't know, Karen is having cataract surgery today.

After a great day at the beach, today I prep for tomorrow’s early start for a long we3kend kayaking in/on/about The Emerald Isle.

Happy 1 May. Temps will now really heat up here in Maryland, last year seeing more than five 90 degree days.

When I responded to Karen’s comment, there were no other CDR pages - it almost looked like a new thread.

Yes it did, and I can't find it anywhere now - it's probably lurking somewhere in a corner.

The Emerald Isle? Ireland?
That's a long way to go for a weekend!!
I'm sure you must mean a much closer Emerald Isle and hope you have a great time.
Happy May Day to you too! (although the May Day holiday here isn't until next Monday)

I see Karen's post but no others now and it's been moved - maybe by a moderator.
Never mind I'm sure they'll turn up.

Time to be busy, so have a good day and I'll see you all later!

Interesting appointment. Mostly because my physio/osteopath doesn’t agree with the hospital - not the first time and she has always been right so far.

She put me through my paces on gym equipment to see what hurt and when and noted a weakness when I tried to stand on tiptoes on the foot on my bad leg. She thinks I have a calf muscle injury in ... she’s reserving judgement on my knee for the moment .

Anyways, I have to wear flight socks to help with the swelling. And I have exercises to do intensively until I see her again next week when she will see where I am. I have to go to the gym and the pool daily for a few days!

Interesting! I just hope your not over doing.. usually where there is injury, rest is needed.... but I am
Sure they would know better than I ‍

Oh know! I did not know so thank you. It’s apparent from my reading that I have missed a few things but I’m not sure how that happened! [emoji848]

@karen SoCal
Good Luck today. Thoughts n prayers are with you!

Good morning all! And happy May 1st (Mark) [emoji4]... I’m off today for a follow up Dr Appointment with my son. hubby finally got home (after 3 weeks) around 2am this morning so life for EllieMay will be full swing again.. there is some restructuring going on with my Job and my immediate boss is taking a severance package for early retirement. They are eliminating his position. Not sure what that means for me since I was In training to step in his position upon his normal retirement .. phones have been ringing and other officials say they have plans for me but I guess I’ll be the last to know what they are ‍
Oh well, I’ll just keep rolling with the flow I suppose. Happiness is a choice !

That's really neat! I never went to Berlin. We preferred more rural areas instead of big cities. Of course se did go to some...Frankfurt, Cologne, and some smaller cities.

I'd like to eat the Cologne Cathedral in chocolate!

Berlins a nice place to visit, nice food .however when I went to an area that had lots of flats, there was a sign that said..... “you are standing above Hitlers bunker”

On another note... I picked up another critter yesterday evening. Drove to Sulphur Springs Tx and acquired a 6month old male Jackson Chameleon... it took me a while last night setting up his habitat since I had to throw out most of his old things. I believe he spent his preVious life living in a marijuana haze. Tricia pointed out to me that he was a very chiiiilllllll little dude.. lol... He was super thirsty and Drank and Drank And Drank... I have been researching for 3 days now in preparation as I have never owned a chameleon before. Previous owners had never named him so he is “Chomper” now.

I would trust this physio with my life. I definitely trust her with my body. She has been putting me back together for over 15 years.
