COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

That's a pretty real-looking artificial tree. Real ones are so expensive these days. With buying presents and all the food for Christmas, who has the money left over to spend almost $100 on a good-looking tree.

Now all you need is an aerosol can of pine scent and you're all set.

Yvonne, the TORTOISE gift opening is tomorrow from when members log on and want to open them, so any time.
For Mooz, this probably means 1 second after midnight.

Me, neither.

Memory like a ...........erm I forget what.

wifey always goes a bit over the top.
I have managed to restrain her a little this year, but she was still saying, "Shall i add a few more baubles".
Some of these decs hace been in our respective families for 100 years or more.

Not where any of us live it isn't!
1 second after one's own midnight.
We can space it out that way.

It is. @Kristoff could open her TORTOISE now

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Illuminated. Bright.

Indeed!
@Kristoff
It is up to you, but you may open your pressies any time during the next 23 hours or so.
It would be nice though, if you could open the Amazon parcel first and then, if you can resist, hold fire and open the other one later, after someone else has revealed theirs .
But it's entirely up to you.

I dislike the whole idea of the colonization of space by Earthmen, the acting and scripts are usually substandard and the monsters are just people painted a funny colour or talking rocks. Even the Klingons in the original Trek are just men in string vests, pointy beards and an oriental look.There seems to be a lot of rock monsters or creatures with limited mobility, too.
Kirk is always falling in love with the girl of the week, anyone in a red shirt is going to get snuffed (excepy Scotty) , the girls all wear silly short skirts and are just eye candy and "To boldly go where no man has gone before" is terribly bad English, a split infinitive , it should be " To go boldly"
And they don't, anyway, they always encounter another Earthship or colony, they're never the first.
And i could go on...............

I could never get into it either, from the very beginning.
Enjoyed the series "Stranger Things" recently - if that counts in this cold, dark room. And of course Walking Dead is IT for me! But the Zombies seem less and less scary and the humans get more and more horrific. LOL!

Psst! @Moozillion.

I hadn't realised Turkey was in Texas. It looks like you're in the clear Bea

Fly with your parcel to Istanbul.
Then you can open it.
