COLD DARK ROOM

[Ray--Opo]

Thank you Ray ! I am happy that you like my singing, my voice and the song. Yesterday I practise the songs "I want to break free", Queen and "In the army now" Status Quo.

Nice those are great songs. Cant wait!

Not me....no no...thanks, I don't think so.....not no, but hell no...

You must`nt have any fear. We won`t judge anything. We are only human and no Hollywood stars. It was a big step for me to make these videos but now I am not afraid that people watch me. I am what I am. When someone don` t like me he or she should not watch me. I can`t change my face. I am what I am....

Seriously...I have a strange and kinda weird feeling about having my picture taken or published. Rarely in my life have I cooperated with pictures. It's not because I care what anyone thinks about the way I look, ( I used to be a relatively hot babe); but I'm not gonna go any more personal than that. I did take a selfie to show off my new love. Actually I thought I had posted it in the 'new what do ya look like thread'.
Here's a picture that appeared in my local newspaper about my Bob(2012)...it was the start, sorta, of me trying to figure out why I hated the camera so much, and trying to allow it. The second picture is my cat Smokey when I got him Oct 2019, he's 12...this is him right this minute.He's jealous of the computer and sits on the arm of my chair and messes with my hand... not that any of this is important....huh...

Thank you Maggie. Smokey, Bob and you are beautiful ! I can understand you well. I haven`t much pics of me too because I don`t like my face on pictures. But now I think I have to accept how I look. Is your Smokey a Maine Coon ? The grey fur is beautiful. I have three British shorthair cats with the same color and their fur is really smooth. Cats are so funny and lovely creatures ! Always making nonsens but I like dogs too. And you ?
Btw: It is nice you found us here in this cold dark place. You fit perfect as a roommate.

Hey Mark you will have to find some old rusty garden tools to use.
Here is my first and only lathe project I did in 8th grade. When schools still had woodshop, metalshop and auto shop.View attachment 286466

Very cool. Funny you should bring up shop days of olde. I have a lamp down in the shop that I made in “shop class” back in 7th or 8th grade as well. It combined both basic cutting/shaping metal along with cutting/sanding woodwork. I’ll snap a pix to show you. Thats the problem these days....”youngsters” have no idea how to make the simplest of things or use simple hand/power tools. We see it time and time again here on the Forum - folks w/o a clue how to start to construct a simple wooden enclosure with hinges, a cut out entrance, etc.

Btw - nice holder!

Thank you for the welcome...No, Smokey is a Russian Blue cross, so he has longer hair. But I have 15 parakeets, 2 cats, 13 box turtles, 3 tortoises and I foster a 70 lb Pitbull...random pics, Simon is my Main Coon...

My husband made this bowl in shop. I guess that makes it about 70 years old. That's a cow tooth in the bowl.



Then he made a couple tables. My daughter has most of them, but I still have this one:



All I got from my own kids was this "beautiful" thing (?) made by my son:



and this mud turtle made by my grand daughter:



Actually, after my son made that little monster, he made a nice shelf unit in wood shop, but I'm too lazy to go into my bedroom to take a picture of it.

My 3rd ex-husband made me this cutting board in prison abt 20 yrs ago. It weighs about 5 lbs...

Correct, I might not of had a clue of the knowledge I have now if not for shop class. My dad was the kind of guy that couldn't swing a hammer. ?
If not for shop class spurring my curiosity. I may have never learned.

Forgot to add in learning basic electrical wiring skills as well.

 

[CarolM]

You want pictures of a “light” .... on or off?

On of course

 

[CarolM]

Carol, do you allow me to add some details to your explanation what the cold dark rooms is ?
@maggie18fan : Grab yourself an armadillo and take place. Feel cozy and at home. The CDR may be cold and dark but the people who live here are warm hearted and good. You are very welcome. Our fearless leader @Tidgy's Dad created this place for us to meet and talk.
The one legged pirate will bring you a drink that you desire. The big armadillo is our coffee table if you want coffee. As soon as he sees you he will come around with a fresh coffee. Please don`t step on a hedgehog. It might hurt both of you. Don`t be afraid of the snow leopard when you see her. She is only eating carrots. But be aware of the wool spider ( if she exists ). She might knit you woolen underpants while you are sleeping. Last but not least we have two penguins here: Silly and Willy are their names but I think they are breeding at the moment, so will not often see them. Carol already mentioned the jellyfish for some light. I think Ray polished them a few days ago that they shine as brigt as a jellyfish can shine.
I am Sabine and I`m living in Germany. I am the cclB, the crazy cat lady Bee because I own a lot of cats and 4 sullies and 2 aldabra torts too.
I know I am crazy and I like it !

Always Sabine

 

[CarolM]

I am not vain, but I like the song !!!!
With greetings to my CDR roommates:

Love it!!! As always.

 

[CarolM]

Na no? Need I be afraid???

Be Afraid. Be very Afraid !!! WHAHAHAHAHA

 

[CarolM]
