COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] That is certainly one way to do it. When my boys were very young they got hidings. When they were old enough to miss something they then had their favorite toy or whatever it was that they really wanted, taken away from them.

Yep, I'm only proud of that day because I managed to outsmart them for once...little buggers...

Tell me about it! When we had the cricket tournament here, it was awful weather. A scorching 23C /73F! My face burned! [emoji23]

I'd be wearing a jacket or long sleeves at least!!! I get cold if it's under 78°f...and forget winter in Ohio. I can't stick even my nose out the door.

Good news. My offspring finally landed in the UK about an hour ago and are now making their way to their respective homes. It is a shame there was such a chaotic end to such a lovely holiday. At least they have time to organise themselves before returning to work tomorrow.

And I went to my yoga class for the first time since my knee and leg went black and blue. It was good to be able to move with reasonable ease again

Wonderful news...on both issues...but especially that your leg is doing better.

Hi everyone [emoji851]
I hope everyone is well.
I’m sorry I’ve been MIA I’m recovering from eye surgery. Feeling a bit under the weather [emoji58]
Talk soon [emoji173]️

 

[Cathie G]

I definitely agree with that.. it’s got to be too hard on the officials who care now days because so many parents rarely do... :-((( I believe it all starts at home!

Yes and the good teachers too.

Good Friday Everyone. And yes that includes Montgomery, Willy and Silly, the hedgehogs and the Snow leopard. My car says it is 5c degrees this morning. Brrrrr. And I totally believe it. There was ice on my car this morning and ice on the school's race track.[emoji33] [emoji33] But I am taking comfort in the fact that if I cannot be warm on this side, you guys must at least be getting warmer on your side.

England is up today in the cricket. Good luck Linda. I hope your team does well.

It is a busy weekend. Acupuncture tonight, baby sitting our nephew tonight as well, then said nephew's Mom's 40th birthday tomorrow night. And then Sunday doing odds and ends at home.
Have a fantastic Supa Dupa Friday !!!

Good mornooning everyone. JoesDad and I are off to watch more cricket today. England v West Indies in Southampton. As that’s very close to where daughter lives we will take her out for dinner this evening.

Hello everyone, went to the doctors today to see the results of the CT scan on my right lung. The person who read the CT says I have pulmonary fibrosis. My doctor thinks it is scarring from the 2 punctures and drain tube that was in my lung from the accident. So another CT scan and appointment in 3 months and then maybe scope my lung if there are still questions.
So I could have stayed in my hole for another 3 months or get back to some type of a life.
Thank you all for your kind words.

Oh no Ray. You just don't catch a break, do you. At some point it has to get better for you, and I really hope it is sooner rather than later. How is Opo doing?

Good mornooning everyone. My offspring are crammed in a 7 seater taxi heading for Milan. It doesn’t sound comfortable particularly for 6’6” son. Hopefully they’ll be there in around three hours.

Good luck to your offspring.

Many, many, MANY years ago, my kids got an open palm smack on their bottom when they mis-behaved.

Same here. I never used anything other than my own hand. I believe that if you cannot use your own hand then you shouldn't use anything.

Yay on the safe return and well done on the yoga. That is awesome news.

Thanks Yvonne, it is getting overwhelming.
I have been reading the emails that TFO sends. There was a thread you had posted about rescues you have had with deformed shells. That night I had a dream that I came across a bunch of tortoises with deformed shells. I picked one up and it tried to bite me and then turned into a snake. Then I kept finding torts under the snow. That's all I remember. LOL

Mmmm there must be some meaning somewhere in that dream.

 

[CarolM]

Thank you, that is my goal to get back the fight I had after the accident. I missed the TFO members but decided to get back here. I was hoping for a more definitive diagnosis but have confidence with what my doctor thinks. 3 more months I should have a better diagnosis.

I hope so too. And if it gets too overwhelming, then just climb the horse with no name and take a ride into the desert of going nowhere. Ride around aimlessly and enjoy the peace and calm for a while, recharge your batteries and when you feel slightly better make your way back home again. [emoji6]

Selma had a calcium craving today. It’s a shame the weathers not great today to get the maximum benefit of all that calcium.

Torts have been a great help to me through my exams. They really chill me out when I’m worried........ except when they are the source of the anxiety *cough* Marge *cough*

Oh Marge, Marge, Marge. Stop stressing your Dad out!!

You have to take your victories where you can. I have always maintained that if you want to learn how to manipulate, then take lessons from kids. [emoji23] [emoji23]
