COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

When teased about losing his hair my Dad always used to say 'Grass doesn't grow on a busy street.'

I have a hedgehog in my garden this year and goodness knows how he's getting in. He must scale a wall or fence which is about 1.5 m high. I've called him Edmund Hillary, but I have made a door in the fence for him to make his life easier . I thought it rats scratching the soil but when I left my wildlife camera out to try to catch the culprit I was amazed to see it's a hedgehog, I've ordered him a house and been feeding him the last few days to help him fatten up for winter, he looks really healthy though. First hedgehog I've seen around here since I was a kid so it's pretty exciting.

There are loads here in the Cold Dark Room.
Though you don't see much of them very often. Just feel them.

I know they'll d their best for me. They've told me I'll have a dent but nothing some Polyfilla can't handle I'm sure.

I begged for the stitching that was below my eye to be done in the shape of a lightening bolt. My Doctor was not pleased with this request. Well I got him- I played tennis as soon as I could and didn't wear sunscreen so its at least a rough looking white line extending 4" from my eye down.

Good morning all long time no not see.
I haven't had chance to catch up with everyone yet but I hope you are all still well and surviving whatever restrictions are in place in your corners of the world.

I thought I'd have loads of time to spend in the CDR now I've retired but my laptop had other ideas and spent a couple of weeks with my nephew who fixed it for me Then following my knee arthroscopy on 6th we (Lola and I) went to stay with my sister. Back home again now though and knee doing OK.

I was also diagnosed with a stage one melanoma on my face back in September so next Monday (unless cancelled because of covid) I'm back at the hospital to have that cut out and skin grafted. That is a day procedure and will have a local anesthetic but not looking forward to that. Thankfully it was caught early but looks like my modelling days are over unless I can persuade them to do a full face lift while they're at it.
Anyway I'm going to have a read to see what you've all been up to now - hope you've all been behaving yourself!

Helloooo!!!!
I am sorry to read about your up coming doctors apt. I know all will go well. I will send prayers for a safe and speedy recovery. ????????
As far as being a “model”.... those girls are so hungry!!!! And when they eat it is just a cube of cheese!!!! Not to mention all the mirrors,lights and MAKEUP!!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!.
And if we blind the beholder....
Maybe just maybe....
We can have “World Peace” ???

Thanks Lyn, that is what I am hoping for.
Hopefully all the nerve endings will settle down with time. One thing good about the phantom and nerve pain is it takes the focus off my back pains. ?

I am so praying for you and rose!!
Dam phantoms.... I never did like the
“Phantom of the opera “ now I know why..
They are hurting my friend Ray!! ??
Maybe on Halloween they will take a break and go off somewhere to have a drink?...
Well if THEY don’t YOU should!
I will figure this out for you Ray....
I am determined to come up with something to ease your pain...! ??

Wa-a-ay back, several pages ago, Maggie said something about knocking out her front teeth and gluing them back in with super glue. Then someone wondered if saliva would interfere with the process. I'm wondering why no one figured out it was false teeth she was referring to?

Waiting to see where the story went...

nope. I didn’t realize it was false teeth!!??
Wouldn’t they fall out as well???
Wait.... maybe I’m just not getting it?
That pink stuff that glues in dentures (denture cream I think?) yes THAT makes sense... but crazy glue ???
Either way .... I am so glad Maggie had her teeth! ?

Actually, I think it was just Maggie's strange sense of humor and she never finished her story. I doubt it's true. . . like some of the one liners Adam has been gracing us with.

The firework I launched in 1986 was pretty impressive.
Called a Sizzler, if i recall.

I used to be a professional fireworks shooter...uh, pyrotechnician. I loved it, but that's for younger folk than I am now. 16 hours out in the hot sun hauling and nailing racks together, wiring shells and tying finales...I'd be dead if I did that again.

But if I could light up the sky like that rocket launch did, I think I'd have one last hoorah! ??

At least you can still clap!!!!!!

i never could stop being so gullible...people tell me I have to learn...?
Maybe a board to the head might help?
Hope you are feeling much better by the way.
I started back on my routine a little early but I couldn’t sit any more...my whole family knits and Crochets...
I can’t sit still that long????
I have two left hands
And I only have ONE neck. How many scarves could I want to knit ??
I ended up getting back to my piano.
That makes me happiest... I just taught myself a whole bunch of Beatles songs.
Maybe I’m amazed and imagine (not Beatles songs) are my favorite.
So I feel accomplished ?
I hope you are close to getting better!!
Prayers and best wishes! ???
I threw in a taco ... because my crazy phone just brought it on my screen?

yes Adam is funny and love the emojis!
Mine are so normal and I use them way too much but that’s to make sure people know I am teasing or playing or just being silly

Yes, I was licensed in MD. MD's license was honored in VA, PA, WV...can't remember if there were more.

There were around 15 female pyros in MD at the time. (15-20 yrs ago).
