COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

There’s apparently a strict pecking order with these little gluttons. [emoji23]

 

[Kristoff]

Anyway, happy and productive Friday, roommates.

 

[Yvonne G]

@Yvonne G, I’m pretty sure they do it for the neighbours.

LOL!! I've never been good at thinking puns. That's a whinney-er!!

Ok everyone here is a pic that is gross pic.
It blistered so I thought it might be a burn but couldn't remember burning myself.
Now after a week I think it might be a spider bite.
Any doctors on call?

Oh my .. it does look like it could be a spider bite.. I hope all goes well and it heals up good. Hope you are okay too

Good afternooning all.

I am currently at the hairdresser getting my hair pruned. It’s got ridiculously thick.

Thos morning I was at the rescue cleaning, feeding and weighing hedgehogs and pigeons

This little guy is due for release with his family very soon. He’s one of 5 babies born in the rescue to a very attentive Mum. It’s impossible to photograph all 6 together [emoji1]

My son has chickens and had a problem with weasels.

We don’t have that many weasels around but Any of the normal feather stealers usually leave some kind of evidence... it’s crazy! I went down to let my remaining three out and they were scared to get on the water... Big catfish maybe??

 

[Yvonne G]

Are there any other water fowl living on the pond?

 

[EllieMay]

As promised, here’s a snap of the three fossilized shark teeth that I came home with. Not bad for an hour or so of casual fossil hunting.

That middle one cleaned up nice!! And I sure wouldn’t want to run into the owner of the big one!!!

 

[Cathie G]

I wish I believed that:-( I’ve even wondered if we may have gotten a gator in the lake... I feel horrible, like I should have been able to protect them. I just hate keeping anything locked up[emoji20]

I can't remember how old they are when they learn to fly. It's not very many weeks though. Sorry. The problem with ducks I found was...when they learn to fly they fly off even if they're not old or smart enough to fend for themselves. My son's ducks loved their pond so much that even when it was frozen solid, he would have to make them come in at night. I just think they're really hard to protect and you can't blame yourself.

 

[EllieMay]

Hello everyone gonna try and catch up here today ( maybe). Opo decided to come out of his hide around 11:30 am. Back in the day I would have been all worried that something was wrong with him. I don't fall for that anymore.
Hope everyone's weekend goes good.

Lol!! Live n learn)

My daughter got bit by a brown recluse once. It started out looking like a mosquito bite.. then impetigo... then very similar to what you have.. we had to clean and scrape it, used a drawing salve, and antibiotics. It was a long healing process and today ( years later) she has a scar that looks like a bullet hole wound .. the thing is, if you don’t get all of the venom gone, it will keep killing the tissue and growing..

 

[EllieMay]

Yvonne! She found your cactus

Lol!!

 

[EllieMay]

My back is killing me. I think I'm finished for the day. I have a nice little bar shaped pillow that's filled with styrofoam beads and I sit in my recliner with that pillow across my lower back. M-m-m-m-m. . . feels so good!

And you have a freshly stocked supply of snacks... hope your back lets up & that kindles’ charged!

 

[Ray--Opo]

Sheesh, Ray!!! That looks awfully painful.

It is painful it also located on my right forearm where they had to skin graft from skin from my thigh. I just called and made a appointment for Mon.

 

[Cathie G]

The kitten isn't weaned so we bought some kitten milk for him. He can lap so we just have to put it on a bowl, easier…

The little kitten is so cute. He holds his ears and body like our Dilly did when he was a kitten.

Get a glass of wine while you're in the recliner. You deserve it!

Hi Heather, I’m still busy with freelancing or walking to the nearest thrift stores (3 miles away). I don’t feel well on buses, so I avoid them as much as I can.

Daughter loves her new school. She has a few good friends already, and the teacher seems positive and very experienced.

Still filing job applications.

Busy is good, thrift shopping even better

I’m glad everything is good for your daughter.. that’s always most important on my list...

Just don’t get too busy for us Roomies in the CDR... the puns have been few & far between lately

 

[Ray--Opo]

Thanks it has to be on my apputeed arm that hurts 24/7 anyways. Doctors on Monday

Or maybe a snapping turtle.
Any bass in the pond?

Happy Friday All

I know at least one, maybe two CDRs might be interested in this. A small group of us paddled in Southern Md yesterday near Calvert Cliffs in search of some fossilized shark teeth. The cliffs here on the Chesapeake Bay have layers and layers of fossilized vertebrate and inverts preserved in the deep clays. Wave action uncovers fossils on a daily basis.

Yes, we found a few teeth. Need to snap a nice pix of the ones I brought home.

Happy Friday
