COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

I climbed back into my pjs now. Maybe can catch a nap before dinner. [emoji23]

I'm lying in bed in my pj's and am about to retire for the night very soon.

 

[CarolM]

Work is overrated

If I did not need the money I would not work.

 

[CarolM]

I'm thinking that the flat roofed hutch is better to put plastic over, does anyone know how deep the coco coir needs to be?

Maybe wait for Linda to reply. But also go and read the threads that she sent to you. Hopefully @JoesMum can answer you soon.

 

[CarolM]

You are allowed to eat some worms, dog poop and dead little animals too.
Better diet with these yummy things ????

Yuck!!!

Some melon that you forgot to remove from its stalk in July 2017?

Very close....

@Bee62
Suki has decided that your Christmas gift is her favorite toy.
Let's just say she uses it as a boyfriend.
It's most unladylike.
This is a new and disturbing behavior.
Poor "German hedgehog".
Just saying that gets her excited.

And Canada?

Hopefully. If there’s a job. (Work is overrated but one has to eat [emoji23])
Good night, roommates!

 

[JoesMum]

@ZEROPILOT

Very cute! What's his/her name?

 

[CarolM]

Hi there. Hope you are well.

No, it is not the end of Ramadan. "Eid Al Adha" is the "Feast Of Sacrifice" whereas Muslims are to feed the poor by donating meat to them.Muslims do this by sacrificing a: goat, sheep, cow or a camel to feed the poor as a donation

"Eid Al Fitr" is the Feast after the Holy Month of Ramadan.

Oh shame so at least the poor get food for a while. What do the Muslims who are the "poor" do?

Hi Gillian.
Nice to not see you.

 

[JoesMum]

Duplicate post issues caused by poor internet connection this end. I think I had better say bonsoir. Not see you all tomorrow

These monstrosities...



Started off from a wee little seed, then a transplant then left grow to flower into these pretty flowers,



and after some time, little ones appear..



And then larger.....




So the original posted monstrosities were Pakistani gherkins that Ioverlooked in the garden. And grew and grew and grew!

Thanks for guessing along.

I'll bet I can!
Out of work at 53.
Its frightening.

Sorry Ed,
I thought you wanted to retire.
Can you still do part time work once you've retired in the US?
Hopefully other doors will open for you and there'll be opportunities to pursue your own interests.
It's not the same for everyone and it's bound to be strange at first, but most people I know that retired early have no regrets and love having the time to do what they want, when they want.
I wish you nothing but the best for your retirement, Ed.

 

[Lyn W]

I actually have a plan.
It's to be out for my mandatory 12 months, then return to work within the school district.
I'll soon have 2 pension checks.....

Ah - that has answered my question in my last post.
Good plan Ed!

 

[Lyn W]

Ok.....it’s guess “What in the World is This” time.....

Hi Gillian good to see you in the CDR.
Hope you and Oli are well.

 

[CarolM]

Look at my holly hock plant I have grown this from seed I’m no garden expert so I’m quiet Proud of it however Clyde at the moment is not so impressed he’s turning his nose up at the flowers

Beautiful.

 

[Lyn W]

Presumably they're taught how to aim and project.

 

[Lyn W]

I think he's ashamed of himself, feels he's let us down and can't face us just now.

I don't know what happened with you @johnandjade and I'm not interested in old news,
but you will only be welcomed back here with open arms, John.
So make a lot of people very happy and come back!!
(Pretty Please?)

The most important Muslim holiday.
A lamb (usually, but may be a cow if you're rich, a goat if you're diabetic, or a chicken if you're poor) is sacrificed to Allah, hung up to drain of blood, then butchered and bits of it cooked, minced and saved over the next couple of days. The streets run with blood, children run around with handfuls of intestines, the heads are roasted over open fires, and the skins left out to dry in the sun. It's all quite a culture shock the first time.
But it's great.

I respect other cultures and their traditions but !
