COLD DARK ROOM

[Yvonne G]

What I see is a pic of a minion. But I use another app.

Really? Even when I access the Forum on my Kindle I only see Adam's picture.

They have to come up with something. Personally I cannot take this on a long term basis anymore. It does not do my back any good. Doing laundry is a nightmare. My cushions for my couch have been regulated to staying outside so that the rain and sun can take the pee smell out because i cannot give them a decent wash. I really miss being able to have a warm bath just to soak my aches and pains away. The cost of living in Cape Town is becoming very high. What with the government raising the VAT from 14% to 15% - Capetonians have the added costs of water on top of the normal day to day expenses that the rest of the country has to pay. Salaries in Cape Town are lower than other parts of the country, the cost of houses whether you own or rent is higher etc. Electricity is higher. I really don't know how the poor survive.

That sounds so frustrating. A big hug, Carol![emoji173]️

Unfortunately at this point no. Stephen my husband has said he won't move. I have wanted to for a long time to try and move to the UK on an ancestory visa. As I think my boys will have better opportunities then they will have here. My father lives in the UK and my eldest sister moved there on an ancestory visa. But he doesn't want to. So Cape Town is where we will stay. That doesn't mean that it won't happen though as you can never predict the future.

That’s a very tough decision.

Here's one.
I love these things!

Ah! There was the Ottoman coat of arms too. Totally forgot about that one.
Can’t wait for the next round of TORTOISE!

Are you talking about the picture of Adam? That's his avatar. No one can change that but him.

I think someone answered this. If not, it’s one of the recent images posted on this thread, which we see as a highlight in the app.

 

[Kristoff]

When Yvonne or Bee post a new picture this highlighted image changes.
It is possible also to disable highlighted images in the app entirely in the settings, as Linda once explained — then you’ll see only text — but I’ve kept them on because those images are too funny sometimes.
Remember?

And, of course, there was this one:

(Carol would remember)

Good mornooning, roommates!
Let me stop talking to myself and get some breakfast.

I don’t have pictures at all in the thread list.

To turn it off go to Settings and turn off “Image Preview”

Good morning all. A warmer, drier day is forecast.

It is yoga day but, needless to say, I am not able to take part. We always go for a coffee and chat afterwards though, so I am joining my friends for that. Last week I couldn’t have sat down for long enough due to the pain so I am definitely improved.

Enjoy your coffee and chat, Linda! Glad you’re now well enough to join.
( My yoga people seem to drink only tea. )

That is beautiful.

@CarolM I'm sorry your going through so much pain :hug:

Thank you Dan. But it is pretty much par for the course now. Sad to say but it is my reality, the same I suspect as it is for you and Linda.

Nope. I am talking about this one.

Yip that is the one. I think if you use the app on the phone that is what you see. It seems that pictures posted by either Adam, Yvonne or Sabine seem to go up randomly. And the minions one has been there for a while now. Just thought it was time for a change. [emoji23]

Thats the one.

Thank you. It's okay just another reality just wish it could end soon.

I think it goes by how many likes the pic has and how new it is.
