COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Welcome from Colorado Springs! These lunatics didn’t give me a welcome when I joined, so consider yourself lucky ?. I’m Golden Greek Tortoise 567, Golden or Greek for short I don’t mind. Only one person knows my real name but she’s sworn to secrecy.

Prepare to be shown horrors, wonders (not sure about that part), and craziness. Never accept a cup of tea here, prices are through the roof. Be careful where you move, you never know when you could step on a loose floorboard and fall through the abyss. And most importantly be wary of the dark lord.

You’ll never understand what’s going on here, and will probably never catch up with the posts if you miss even a day. You might need a blanket because it’s so cold here, but you will never find one because it’s too dark. One last note, never let your guard down, not even for a second. ?

Oh. Sorry you missed out on the intro

The wool spider (if she exists) has knitted many things to keep us warm. They’re in corner 7.

The woolly socks are particularly numerous because she doesn’t get that we each have considerably fewer legs than she does.

Oh well, it was forever ago. Or was it? Time is different here in the Cold Dark Room. Plus, you can’t count on lunatics to remember anything. ?

Oh boy Did I get on the wrong train? Is anybody talking about the weird egg sack? Would you like to talk about the weird egg sack?

Just back from another nice morning of kayak exploring.

I’ll venture to bet that most folks have never seen these rather interesting creatures...

Not jelly fish, not toad or frog or fish eggs. Guess away.

Sometimes known as moss animals, here are some from 450 million years ago.

This one's only 15 million years old.

Each hole, or star in the top one, contained a small filter feeding animal.
They are very common as fossils.

That is classic. Would your mission be to ramble on, and insert cute anecdotes here and there?

nope ?

Good evenooning all. My mother in law has been admitted to hospital with a pulmonary embolism

She suffers from depression and anxiety and has been refusing to go out for walks since lockdown. So many months have basically been spent in a chair and this was inevitable basically.

FiL is beside himself because he can’t visit her.

How awful.
Wishing her all the very best.

Wrong train is hardly the correct term, this is more like the wrong universe. ?

It's also why the jumpers often have more than two arms.

No trains in here.
The weird egg sack probably belongs to the Wool Spider (if she exists).
Welcome to the Cold Dark Room.
it's a freshwater bryozoan colony.

What is this Jelly-like Blob Under My Dock?

The Question: I was swimming in the lake behind our house with a friend one day and we found a thing attached to our dock and it appeared to be brown fish egg sacks. But with closer observation it …

My universe doesn't seem as fun and entertaining as yours. Maybe a trip is in order?
