COLD DARK ROOM

[Pastel Tortie]

In response to the post from @Yvonne G that @Bee62 quoted above... I've been wanting to comment on livestock and other animals in disasters. California has been aware of and working on animal emergency issues for 20-25 years or more. I don't know what their structure is, nor their protocols and procedures, but I have plenty of faith that function in California still exists and is still active.

Many were caught off guard by the fires. For those who had more warning (or who were a little twitchy to begin with), they would have done everything they could to move the horses and goats and other animals to safety.

Enjoy you P&Q and have an awesome coffee date.. I hope the Jellyfish doesn’t expose too much of your smugness over a nice Monday morning. [emoji4]

Oh no, who polished those jellyfish again?? Linda!?!

 

[CarolM]

Have a good morning & a wonderful Monday!

It hasn't actually been too bad. How is yours so far?

Good morning Linda! Take care of your back & give it proper rest! Sorting through those things for your mom is never pleasant but it will sure reduce stress later if needed (hopefully not) But the cinema does sound fun! I loved the first movie as well! We should all share a “remote” movie night one night. Popcorn and open app conversation! Have a wonderful day!

Sounds Like an awesome idea. The trick will be which movie to pick and what time? It would need to be in the holidays and or on a weekend so that we can all get together at the same time depending on who is where on their time zones.

 

[CarolM]

A different angle...



We spotted this little red one as well.

Hmm, red is normally an indication of danger. Well except for Hibiscus, then it is an indication to the torts of yummy.

That is really good to know.

It was probably the Meerkats. You know how they like to cause mischief. Or maybe it was the Ghost shrimp, nobody would have seen them do it even when the Jellyfish were glowing....just saying. We got to be careful of the ghost Shrimp - Ask Jacques she will tell you all about them, she has lots and lots of experience with their nonsense.

@Bambam1989 We have not heard from you in a while, I hope that you are still okay. I don't even remember seeing a pic of Clunker in the calendar contest. And I remember that you had some really stunning ones.

 

[JoesMum]

Oooh, I liked Fantastic beasts. Is it the second one?

Yes

It is always better to be prepared and at least you are organized enough to know that and get it done. Your Mom is lucky to have you.

And I am lucky to be married to an accountant who understands the complicated bits [emoji849]

Actually, it looks pretty straightforward and the whole thing can be constructed online on the gov.uk website. It then has to be printed so people can sign it. I just need Mum to decide one or two specific things... I have made suggestions and she can have a chat with my sister and decide what she wants to do.

 

[JoesMum]

Not guilty. I have been reading legal jargon on my computer. I could do with borrowing a few to brighten things up here. I swear the sun didn't rise here today - so gloomy!

We did have a movie night in the CDR once before. I cannot for the life of me remember what was watched though!

 

[Maro2Bear]

Sunny, calm, climbing into the 50’s —> off kayaking.... back later, enjoy Monday.

How far are the fires from where you`re living ? Fires are so terrible. I feel sorry for the people and animals too.

There's no danger here in my area. The fires to the north about about 2 or 3 hundred miles away, and even further to the south. They're saying the fire in the north of me is the worst in California history.

 

[Yvonne G]

For the most part, I stopped watching the news several years ago. I find I've been happier that way. That isn't to say that I don't have some awareness of what's going on... I'd just rather pick and choose what topics to explore for more detail, and when to do so. The heart-wrenching stories I tend to put off for a little while, until I'm mentally better prepared to read the details.

That's me too. I don't subscribe to the newspaper, I don't watch the news. The little bits I get from the news promos between my TV shows it plenty enough for me.

It’s not been too bad girls are out of school for thanksgiving, son was happy to go to daycare because his friends are there due to school holidays.. dropped hubby back at home after leaving his truck at shop for repairs.. all before I have a conference call every Monday morning at 9. Now I am picking up lunch that I am catering for one of my best customers.. should make it home pretty early today . And your dreaded Monday will soon be over for a fabulous Tuesday [emoji16]

Right!! Timing could be tricky but I could get up extra early for y’all

The company I work for has a service center in Chico California . We have a national donation center orchestrated for one of our employees that lost his home. They were a young couple and had just purchased the beginning of this year:-( just one example of the thousands affected. [emoji25]

The damage to humans and wildlife caused by these fires is devastating.

I had never heard of him until all the hype about the movie.

Same here.
