COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

I (don't) see a lot of new faces, Linda

Me too I was just going to say hello to DE42

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Have you been awol too Ed?
It's lovely not to see you too!
How are all the torts?

...And no. I haven't been around much and know almost NOTHING about what has been going on.

 

[Lyn W]

Down to just one now...Oh, yeah, two.
Down to two as far as I can find.
They became too much to handle in my frail old age.
(I'm 53)

You're a spring chicken Ed and as old as you feel!
Two must make life easier for you though.

You just hit 13,000 messages!

That makes perfect sense...Because I feel like I'm one day older than dirt.

 

[Lyn W]

We've got a lot of catching up to do Ed, but that's nigh on impossible to try I should think. We need Adam to give a summary of what's been going on with everyone.

How has your health been Ed?
All good after the op you had last year?

 

[Bee62]

Well right now I hate life and been depressed the last couple of days. But I'll be fine.
I'm in Nashville for my appointment at the hospital here.

I thought you go to Nashville for a guitar concert.... LOL !

 

[Bee62]

Hi there everyone! Now things have settled down with my house and I finally have a landline a reliable laptop (have my nephew's on indefinite loan) and internet connection sorted, thought I'd just say hello on this fine UK bank holiday. I'm still alive and kicking and hope you are all well and that your torts are thriving. This is a banned website in work so haven't even been able to access the forum there - but we can use facebook - very strange, although I have occasionally had a quick peek in the CDR when I've popped to my sisters but couldn't log in and hog their pc. I've missed popping in but hopefully normal service should soon be resumed.
I see you are still on your travels, @JoesMum Hope to catch up with you and everyone else all soon.
TTFN.

WELCOME BACK !!!!!
I am glad that you are back.

 

[Lyn W]

Thanks. This was supposed to be like a mini vacation we went on. Come out a day early and do stuff in Nashville before the appointment today. It was a 5hr drive just to get here after all. But because of this I did not want to do anything and have been miserable. We went a few places walking around but it would just make me feel worse. Then I feel worse because Nan wanted to go out and have a good time with me.

Hi @DE42, I'm Lyn from Wales in the UK and have been an absentee poster. I have had a Leopard Tort for almost 4 years he is male but called Lola due to a mistake by the vet we saw when I took him for his first health check. The name has stuck though thanks to the Kinks song. He has taken over my life but I love him to bits. Do you have a tort?
I've just returned after a long absence and I look forward to chatting with you and hope all goes well with your appointment.

 

[Lyn W]

WELCOME BACK !!!!!
I am glad that you are back.

Thank you Bee good to be back.
Hope all is well with you and all your animals.

 

[Bee62]

Nice, Sabine.
And congratulations.
My classic car still has a few issues and I've still been keeping it near home.
I kind of started by trying to fix everything at once....And have fallen behind schedule.
But, it IS RUNNING and I've put about 20 miles on it so far.

I hope you can repair the issues of your car soon and then..---drive and have fun !

 

[Bambam1989]

Hi Linda, thank you - that's very nice of you to say. I've missed everyone and all the little chats in here.
Lola has me a bit concerned at the moment as this last week he has been off his food even the dandies and plantains he was tucking into the week before. He's also not very keen to come out of his hide in the mornings and just wants to get back in there as soon as he can. Somethings not right so I am hoping to have an appointment with a reptile vet tomorrow wherever I can (Origin Vets - they hold clinics at other vets throughout South Wales) I am hoping it's nothing serious, but its hard not to worry.

Hello Lyn. I don't think I've had the pleasure of chatting with you before. Nice to meet ya!

 

[Lyn W]

You just hit 13,000 messages!
I'm logging off for now.

See you soon Ed!

 

[Bee62]

Fine!
Imagine the chance that both you and I happen to pop in together?
It's so nice to (not) see you.
You've been missed!!

You both had been missed !!!!!

 

[Lyn W]

Hello Lyn. I don't think I've had the pleasure of chatting with you before. Nice to meet ya!

Hi Banbam nice to meet you too! Hope they've all been looking after you in the CDR, I expect so they're a great bunch of people on the Forum.

 

[JoesMum]
