COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Well lots of ups and downs. Was about to get engaged then found she was cheating on me. And a little sickness and a depression wave. But I'm getting better now.

Oh. That’s not good. We are always here with electronic hugs when you need them

It’s stunning right now. Lopez won his singles semi. Then he won the doubles quarter with Andy Murray they failed toco complete last night. And he is straight back on playing the doubles semi... and they’re winning! Amazing play! Lopez must be so tired and powered only by adrenalin.

If Lopez/Murray win then Lopez has two consecutive finals to play tomorrow!

Heck - that's a big ask for him!

It is! They won!

There’s a similar problem in the wheelchair tennis

Tomorrow’s schedule (times are UK)

Thanks, but it really wasn't bad. Uncomfortable, but not bad at all.

I actually got stung this year too but I don't know what got me. It was one of the first days I took my little guy out. I always have knee high socks on and such stuff until July. That probably protected me and deflected a full sting. Maybe your usual garb helped you also, along with a blessing, ...

I bet Any M is wishing his partner had lost so that he'd be fresher for the doubles!!
It will be amazing if he can win both!
They are both in the same boat for the wheelchair tennis - their opponents must think they are the favorites.

 

[Cathie G]

Yay. Well done Lola. Good boy on finally figuring it out.

Well...just until he decides better options.

I'm doing well thanks Yvonne. My injury from the accident will be healing for a long time and only just started according to the last doc I saw. It does ache and catch me occasionally which makes me yell 'ow!' out loud and gets me some funny looks. I still have to go back to the hospital at the end of July. I have finished physio but can go back if I feel I need to in the next 6 months. The main problem slowing me down at the moment is my clicky and painful left knee, and I have to go for an MRI on that next week. But as long as I take the painkillers and can sit down quite a lot in school I should be fine. They are pretty good about it and I don't have to do any yard duties at the moment.

I agree with Yavonne. Try not to do too much. If I take painkillers I will...but even though I don't I will still go past that if I'm not in pain. I just bent over wrong and reinjured my 2 fractured ribs... 2 month set back and that sucked...

I usually only take painkillers when I need to as well, but at the moment I need them for my knee more than the broken leg. Hopefully that won't be for too long.

You're gonna have to fight me for the one with the strawberry! I can almost taste it now! [emoji2]

Yea and a strawberry or cherry cheese dainish with icing...mmm

 

[Cathie G]

Me too!! Re the scratching thing. I have been stung by bees but never a wasp. So don't really know how it feels. But I can imagine it. [emoji33]

Yavonne got really blessed. A wasp sting is really painful. Thank God it only brushed her. I've only been stung once by a wasp and I don't ever want to go through that again.

Quick update on the red cedar log project...

We decided instead of a vase, that we would make a candelabra of sorts that holds a glass dome/tea light.


Taking Shape



Insert hollowed out to hold the glass dome.

As a kid, out on a scouting adventure, I stumbled into a yellow jackets ground nest. 100s and 100s came out after us, i was stung a ton of times, luckily we were near a lake and was able to go jump in!

 

[Reptilony]

Now THAT'S something I would use!!! When I had horses (read: a fly problem) I used to take a longish twig off a tree and tie a couple of knotted hay twines to the end and swish it back and forth around me to keep the flies off.

Welcome back!!! Where and how ya been?

(But I thought Reptilony was Olivier?????)

Oli is always there to bring the best products in Planet town [emoji217]

I’ve started working my summer job I work at my town’s nature center and beach, I do the stuff higher grade employee’s don’t like to do such as cleaning the bathrooms and picking up the trash on the whole site, cutting the grass, weedeater etc...Well it’s only for 2 more months so it ain’t so bad, also it’s finally the real summer here so my girl is enjoying the sun. What’s up in cali? My wife bought me this thing...not sure what it is in english, good smelling smoking powder sticks holder???!! lol

 

[Yvonne G]

How are you doing Yvonne??

I'm very well, thank you! Still plugging along. It's so good to hear from you.

Oh man. Cracked ribs are no fun. It hurts to laugh, and forget about sneezing!

Good smelling smoking powder sticks holder = incense holder

I still don't have any turtles or torts. Lol
But I've noticed a lot on line right now. All over Craigslist everything from red ear sliders to scapula tortoises.
