COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I've been enjoying this one immensely.

I thank you.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good Noonyeve, Roommates!
It is still very much Think Positive Thoughts Time in the Cold Dark Room.
But also today is also Cheese Toast Day!
And it's also Double Cheeseburger Day in the USA so i'm up for that.
Wow!
Today's going to be good.

 

[KarenSoCal]

Amen! But then, that’s what I’m here for!

No, you're there to watch and listen carefully, and if something doesn't feel right, ask for an explanation. Be insistant, but don't be a pain in the a**. Every patient needs an advocate!

I wonder if Willy and Nilly want to play?

Who are Willy and Nilly? How have I never heard of, let alone met, these 2 supposed residents of the CDR? Are they friendly?

Chilly and Willy. Bee's penguins. They don't make appearances too often.

 

[CarolM]

Only one at a time, usually.
They are mostly blocked by the mosquito mesh wifey has over the windows. (no glass in some of my windows, and we only close those in winter. The mosquitoes queue up to suck wifey's blood, but don't touch me. Except in Spain.)
There are lots of geckos in my lab upstairs and on the terrace at night, but I don't like to sleep up there.

I heard that Labs are where all the good doctors sleep. ?

Talking of which, the new piece, " The Tort Who Walked by Herself' is entering the section of confrontation between wifey (played by wifey) and the Tort (played by Tidgy).

If you wish to be a critic, you are most welcome, but please post any comments here : https://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/the-tort-who-walked-by-herself-chat-page.184920/
so that the story flows uninterrupted.

Ooohhh I forgot about the story. Being an agent is hard work and takes up a lot of time you know. At least I can get some good reading in tonight. And a couple of pages at that too. ????

 

[CarolM]

PENGUIN!!!!

NO. Just no.... oh wait Yes the penguins ARE playing. It is fine.

 

[CarolM]

-10
Sigh.

I know SIGH!!! ?

 

[CarolM]

Oh, no.
-10.

Alright I will say it...... Sigh!!

 

[CarolM]

Hmmm.
Where's all the proper coffee gone?
I hate the stuff from the machine.

Who were we blaming the other day? Well it was that guy who must have taken it. ?

 

[CarolM]

It is a brilliant book.
But not very optimistic or positive thinking.
A friend of mine who is about to have a heart op read it a week or two back and became rather depressed.

Yes it is a rather depressing story but he writes it so well and when I read it which was about 28 years ago? it certainly made technology very scary. And here is the scary thing it is probably already happening to us and we don't even know it. As it is being done subtly. Like how Chefdenoel is going to tell me her mission. Hint hint. See very subtle.

Yummy. How come South Africa can't have that as well.

Oh yes. They were Sabines CDR pets. She was very protective of them. They have most probably been very sad so have stayed away. But I think they might be feeling a little bit better now. Oh did I say they were penguins?

Good Morning all. It is Tuesday yayyy. And it is time to get back to trying to killing myself softly with minus points. But don't tell the Dark Lord as he just might take that Spork and try to hit me with it. Ow ow ow Don't hit me Dark Lord, I promise to try and make good guesses.
So I am calling @Cathie G Dark Lords given mission to use some obscure English elliptical construction in her posts. Oh wait I googled Sitting Duck and he told me that it is an idiom. So I am calling her mission to be the use of Idioms in her posts. Huh that HAS to be it.

You can sure tell what most people here don't do much of. I think I was set up. Even I had to go online for my "mission".?

 

[Cathie G]

And @ Cathie G
Here is your next dose of a puppy. ?
I love St'Bernards but my place is not big enough for one. But they are just so cuddly.

That's a cutie with that ornery little quizacle look on his face. Too big for me to.?

 

[Cathie G]

WHAT!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,,, (and it echo's down the passages and around the corners.....NOOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOOO, NOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Wow my kids used to try that on me until I joined them. Then I'd see them trying to hide their smirk.?

I don’t really have enough answers to share a truthful story... we don’t think that she was intentionally shot but I do think that her group is trying to cover up what the boy was really doing when the gun discharged. She was shot with an Ak47... I have people coming out of the wood works to offering to help so I’m grateful. Just one minute to the next right now.

That is awful. If there were others there. Someone will spill the beans.
Rose and I will keep you and yours in our prayers.
You have always reached out to me if I needed to talk.
I am returning the offer.
Stay strong!

We worked on a very simple wee tea light over the last few hot humid wet days.
Spalted Maple with a dab of gunstock stain. Bees wax finish.

A light lit for @EllieMay & Family & especially her daughter.

That is so beautiful and thoughtful!

I didn't sleep well last night.
So feeling a tad knackered.
They say you should count sheep.
Well, I don't have any so that was not a lot of help.

Sorry for not sleeping well. I do like the feeling a tad knackered. I will have to add that to my list.
