Do you have to live somewhere dark to see all the meteors??
I would LOVE to see them...
But must times it’s too bright here ?
Tonight is the best night for around here because there won't be a lot of clouds. It's supposed to happen around 11 to 12 in the eastern sky. I'm not sure how much light and smog covers it up. If you can see the stars you should be able to see it.

Goodmorning all, finally a few members here! Hope your day goes well. Didn't get to see the meteors,we have a storm for the next few days.
Go to the doctor today to get my meds for pain. Will be glad if someday I don't need the meds to help manage my pain.
I hope your someday comes sooner rather than later.. I take Jess in the morning for her first pain management appointment.. I am very proud of her though because right now, she doesn’t take as much of the pain meds as what they have prescribed..

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!
Welcome back Lyn!!! I wish you the best of luck next Monday and have to tell you that you will be beautiful no matter what!!! I have spent the past 4 months learning 3x over that you must often be thankful for what isn’t instead of bitter over what is! HUGS!

Good afternoon! Hope everyone is enjoying their day so far. It’s a sunny 89F here and no breeze ... I’m picking up little man from school and shutting the business priorities down for the day. I should have an early evening at home with light chores and some peace time... ?

Don't get the wrong impression of this site. You have found yourself in the CDR(cold, dark, room)
We have fun on this thread sometimes we talk tortoise. But there are alot of threads here with great info on care of tortoises.
Many of our members have been caring for tortoises for 20+ years.
What kind of tort do you have?
.
? Maybe we need an enter at your own risk imoge in the CDR.

Oh yes, I forgot to say... it’s been over a month since the accident and the DA still does not have a report from the detective at the police department .. nor has there been any kind of press release or communication from the police department...

so I have taken steps to hire a private investigator ?. I will not accept a cover-up and I don’t care who may be involved.. I’m feeling better now that I have taken some action!

I got to see it once in the late 1990's. It was the first time I'd ever seen a falling star. It was really beautiful.

Wow! I'll be thinking and praying. Any person that has an accident with a gun like that should face the same scrutiny everyone else would.?

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! ??
I could never get Catherine Wheels to work properly.
They either flew off and danced about on the grass, got stuck and didn't spin or exploded.
Until the last one I did which worked perfectly.
wifey and I were amazed and thought about asking for our money back.

Maybe some of that information will be more forthcoming after the election. Especially depending on which of your local officials are up for election this year... ?

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
When I first joined this forum, I used to hate emojis / emoticons and refused to use them and complained about those that did. But I ran into some problems when people couldn't tell when I was being serious or not. It's difficult to convey emotions on line without the body language or tone of voice.
So, I've become quite an emoji fan.
