COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Excellent news - now just look after yourself - especially when doing donuts on ice!!!!

Yes ?

Good afternoon/evening all.
I hope you're all having a lovely day. Mine was pretty much as expected.
The weather has been awful and it has poured down for most of the day,
My nephew arrived about 10.30 this morning, I collected our lunches from my sister about
3 pm and they were delicious and then took Anthony home about 8 .30.
He was in charge of the TV remote for most of the day so we ended up watching music programmes, which was fine - I like music - however for some reason that particular channel decided that today was a good day to air as many adverts as it could about erectile disfunction - not something you particularly want to hear about while sat with your nephew!!! ? So whenever the ads came around I would suddenly have to do or get something!
Apart from that I had some lovely pressies, including a ticket for the Wales v Scotland rugby match in February - but at the moment all sports aren't allowing spectators in or cancelling them because of covid, so will have to wait and see if that goes ahead. But more importantly everyone seems pleased with their pressies from me.
It's 12.30 am on Boxing Day here now so I'd better go to bed. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Xmas Day. Nos Da.

WooHoo, cleaning bird cages That's my Tuesday Morning Chores

Yvonne, you are lucky to have them in your life. It might give you stress @ "the madhouse", but it's good that you go ahead with the meetings. I have NO human kids. my house is quiet (sad), fortunately I do have my parrot's, Good ole Fred . . "Hi Fred, Hi Fred. . Hi Fred." my buddy telling me he wants attention. As I have told my close friends (few, less than the fingers on one hand), I'm socially awkward. In a group of people, I can be a wall flower (Ususally) or be able to mingle.
So, embrace the family you have, you'll need them more and more as you get older.

I have had 3 children...I gave my daughter to her father when she was 2 yrs. She's now almost 50 she lives in Virginia and I have no relationship with her. My oldest son is 58 yrs lives about 4 miles away from me and he wouldn't spit on me if I was on fire...my youngest son is 54, and he hates me because I know he gay. My grandkids love me. I guess what I'm trying to say is having family is no guarantee they will love you. I probably deserve what they feel, but they are adult now...so get over it. I don't get lonely very often...I have friends, who unlike my family, don't cause any drama. I'm ok with my life now...it is what it is...and most of the time it's pretty good...I kinda would like a car with a heater...but oh well...lol
I got a billiard table...

 

[Maggie3fan]

You sound like me it's 79f in my house and I'm only comfortable because I'm wearing 2 pairs of socks, a long sleeve shirt and my leggings under my shorts. ??

Well...it's been raining all day, it snowed like hell for about 2 hours...at 38 degrees...lol it's raining again... I just checked on my guys in the shed...warm and toasty

Maggie, Yes! we make our choices over the years, it's important to realize that our current situ is because of past choices, and to be at peace with it. I am in a similar situ. I have 5 nieces & nephews, that I have NO contact with, kinda makes me sad, but as you said. . .It is, what it is. .

I blame it on the Baby Boomers Notice those type of ads started broadcasting when that generation started aging? Erectile dysfunction, bladder leaks, heartburn, thinning hair?! The generation before that suffered in silence lol???

I understand how uneasy you can be seeing those commericals for broken Pe**r disease

Hum, You don't see that for the women. . .Sorry gals, I'm gay. It just disturbs me off. . .Sorry guys. . .

 

[Chefdenoel10]

No, the bird becomes part of the human flock.

Soooo fascinating!!!!! ?
I never knew that.

Ok Grasshopper…….
Now….
What about garden snails?

If you have one …
Does it want a mate?
Will they try to eat each other???
Do they like to be the only one? (Like Sulcata)??
Do they want friends?
Will they play hello kitty games together??
Whaaat???

Sorry for all of the questions
But I feel like YOU will give me the right answer. ?
My little booger Gary here is getting BORED!! He doesn’t seem to want to explore anymore??
I was hoping it was because of the winter temps and now I am wondering if he is older than I thought???
Or does he want a friend?
Just wondering your opinion.. ?
Off the topic at hand…..
Merry Christmas ??!!!!!!

Hum, You don't see that for the women. . .Sorry gals, I'm gay. It just disturbs me off. . .Sorry guys. . .

And as usual I didn’t have my filter on

 

[MenagerieGrl]

And as usual I didn’t have my filter on

Please pardon me. . . ?

 

[Snoopy’s mom]

Please pardon me. . . ?

lol I may have to go back to silently observing for awhile and mute myself till I can behave and find that darned filter. When people ask what I do at my job, my response is - make inappropriate comments ???

 

[Chefdenoel10]

Well, I went over to my daughter's house at zero dark thirty (I'm home already at 6:30a), stayed about an hour. Her living room looked like santa's sleight erupted all over it. There wasn't a single space on the floor that wasn't covered with a toy, or parts of a toy or wrapping paper and boxes. Sheesh! Talk about going overboard. The boys each made me a present. From Cyrus I got a bird feeder and the artwork was personally done by him, and from Cody came a jewelry box also painted by him, along with a hand made card that wishes me a "Mere Krims" and the box is painted in the colors of a sea turtle and also has the message "I lov u grama" on it.

I really was toying with the idea of not going, but my daughter called me to say that the boys had made me something, so I knew I had to go. It was a madhouse!

I really am ok being alone on these types of holidays, but it does make me feel a bit lonely when I come home from something like that. Thankfully I have you all to lift me out of the doldrums!! So, start lifting already!!

Hey Yvonne
Sorry this is late but I had a crappy Christmas too! All alone I was fine.
But when a friend of mine showed up it was like I was a caterer! I cooked then cleaned and after we ate a small LASAGNA together that very same “friend” FELL ASLEEP!!!!! from 6pm till 10pm!!!
So I went up to my room and watched
The Wizard of Oz AND do you know what!??????
THIS PERSON HAD THE AUDACITY TO COME UP AND ASK ME TO WALK THEM OUT TO THEIR CAR SO I MISSED THE ENDING OF THE MOVIE!!!!
—ANNNNDDDD…..
TOOK THE OTHER HALF OF THE LASAGNA TOO!!!!——

I don’t know what I did in a past life to deserve such mistreatment by people!
They ruin my day—
They take and take—
Then they leave without so much as to wish me a merry Christmas!!!
PLUS!!——
I was UNINVITED to my moms house by my sister because SHE didn’t want me to bring “THAT THING”! (Which she called my tortoise).
Says I am a bother and my mom doesn’t need any stress!???
My mom called and said where are you?
I have gifts for you and Sally and even Gary!!
My mom said it ruined her Christmas not to see MEEEE!
I’M THE GOD DARN FUN ONE!!!!
And my sister I guess doesn’t like that.
So in a nut shell…..
This will be my LAST ? Christmas that I celebrate. Next year I will treat it like any other day…?
Spent a lot of money on gifts too boot!
I am here for you my friend!!!!
Always will be! ?

 

[Chefdenoel10]

Merry Christmas all. It was a dark overcast morning, but the sun popped out. It’s just about 60 F already. Hey, if it’s not going to Snow I would just as soon have it sunny & bright.

Yesterday evening our Christmas cactus decided it was time to open!

How GORGEOUS!!!! ?

 

[Maro2Bear]

Yeah - it’s Boxing Day. Dark. mild, but wet. We finally got a nice heavy drenching rain. All the daffodils I planted in October could use a good drink, as do all the other plants.

Happy Sunday.

Snails are hermaphrodites (they have both male and female reproductive organs) They don't actually need to mate with another snail in order to reproduce, self fertilisation is possible.

Doesn't normally bother me, but not viewing I want to share with my nephew!!!

Aw I'm sorry abut your Christmas, sounds like your sister is jealous and maybe a bit of a control freak?
You and your mum missed out on seeing each other because of her and that's a Christmas you'll never get back. Don't let it spoil other Christmases with your Mum though.

 

[Lyn W]

Yeah - it’s Boxing Day. Dark. mild, but wet. We finally got a nice heavy drenching rain. All the daffodils I planted in October could use a good drink, as do all the other plants.

Happy Sunday.

It's drier and mild here but still dark and gloomy.
There are blizzards and snow from the Midlands up to Scotland, so some parts of the UK have had a white Xmas.
Is your Mum Ok in Derbyshire @JoesMum ?

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning/afternoon all, and Happy Boxing Day (Sunday - I think ?)
I am just about to collect my nephew who is coming for lunch again and then we'll have a trip to my sisters house so that he can meet the new pup.
I hope you all have a good day and see you later!
