COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning Adam.

Yes...NOT sleeping again. Oli is really worrying me and he is somewhat 'getting on my nerves.' He ate very little this morning, after which I soaked him TWICE so far due to very hot weather, and once again he retired to the same corner. What on earth I am to do, I do not know. Glad to hear Tidgy is well.

Regards to Wifey and kisses to Tidgy from Oli.

Morning, Gillian; morning, Oli.
Tidgy is not up yet this morning, most unusual.
Hope she's okay and just having a lie in.

Here's one: What is unusual about the Beatles' song "A Day in the Life?"

Morning all
Brilliant track - I love all of Sgt Peppers.
There's lots of things unusual about it but are you talking about the high pitched note at the end which humans can't hear but drives dogs mad?
There's 2 different versions - the one on Anthology is different to Sgt P's. very little orchestra and studio sounds.
Paul's bit in the middle was written for another song.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Not as far as I'm concerned. It's CDR of TROUBLE for me. Am looking for trouble, so, ladies and gentlemen....BEWARE.

Ooops, I'll have to be good then.
Got a lesson soon, so only have to behave for 10 minutes.
Wait a minute, it's Mischief Day in the Cold Dark Room.
Sticks tongue out at Gillian who won't be able to see 'cos it's Dark, I hope.

Paul McCartney recorded an ultra sonic whistle at the end specifically for his dog, although any dog could hear it.

I think you should give yourself points for having heard of the song, Adam! I thought I had heard of almost all the Beatles' songs, but I never heard of that one before (I tripped over it while googling for animal trivia questions!)

Too late!! Should have read on further before replying!

Morning, Lyn.
Thought you might have known this one.

That's okay, i'll give you points anyway.
Just kidding, it's Mischief Day.

I need a flouroscopy exam, a soft tissue neck series and a decubitis abdomen. You never know when patients are going to come in with them so you have to be on your toes. Except for the flouro, you have to have a radiologist for those so you make an appointment. But it's only at hospitals and DAYTIME. So I'll get that next rotation which is next week. Hope to be done by the end of September with exams! Clears up a lot of time to study while at clinic

If you go and lurk down dark alley ways you could fix it so they come in sooner rather than have to wait.! Just a suggestion,

Morning Adam - I am a mine of useless information when it comes to music! Lots of books on it.
My nephew applied for a music quiz show and his application was accepted and he wanted me on his team but because we are all in different parts if the country and couldn't be together to Skype we didn't get any further.

 

[Lyn W]

Must dash just remembered I'm supposed to be somewhere today. See you later!

Music was always my weak subject in pub quizzes.
Unless it was classical stuff, then I was moderate.

Have fun.
You are supposed to be somewhere.
Here, mainly.

Morning guys
I'll be back soon, gotta dash as spuds hungry and is sending me to the shops to get food.

See, he was not happy when I told him that I don't have any food ready.

Morning, Spud's Mum.
It's Mischief day in The Cold Dark Room, so Spud's just joining in, I expect.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Throws a jellyfish at Spud's Mum.

 

[spud's_mum]

Well the shops had nothing.
Looks like I'm off to the further away one...

Is it bad for them to have too much lettuce? As I feed it along with weeds just to fill him up. And I was thinking about getting another living salad for him. Should I just stop feeding lettuce or is it okay along with good food?

 

[spud's_mum]

Throws a jellyfish at Spud's Mum.

EW.
I've already had my brothers throwing sea weed at me at the beach.

*throws a whale at Adam*
... Another animal in the cold dark room!

Lettuce is very good for getting water into torts, but not much else.
It is mostly water and though it does have a small percentage of good vitamins and minerals, it can fill your tortoise up before it can eat enough to give it all it's dietary requirements.
It's okay as long as it's only a part of a wider, varied diet, but isn't necessary if Spud is eating enough other stuff and is drinking alright.

Ouch! ouch! ouch!
That hurt.
Nobody's ever thrown a whale at me before.
You must be very strong.
Where am I going to put a whale ?
It's big in here, but not that big.
What sort of whale ?
I need to look at the care sheet.

Uhh... I don't know the type, I can't see.
It's pretty big though, if that helps

I just walked outside to find monty eating fish food... Wow my pets are weird

Monty won't eat his dog food or dog treats but he goes nuts for fish food
