Just washed out all of cheddars bits.
I had to move the cage away from my room as I kept thinking my that he was still there.
The only time i really believed he was gone was when I said my last goodbyes.
I think even though he's gone I still wake up with the hope that he might me there.
It sounds stupid, I know but it's just what I'm like.

Hi. Am so sorry to have heard about Cheddar.:( I think that you did well as far as the cage is concerned. It does NOT sound at all stupid. I 'd suggest removing anything to do with him/anything of his, away. It'd only keep reminding you of him.

That's not stupid at all. So sorry he passed. :(
Someone told me once that our animal companions come into our lives to teach us about love; and they leave before us to teach us to let go.

Sorry, if it brought back bad memories, I remember all that occurring, though i was not there at the time, of course , but i had Polish friends in England.
Indeed, interesting times, living through history!

Oh, no bad memories at all! I think the centuries of having to defend ourselves from all kinds of foreign invadors have made us pretty adaptable and able to adjust to the current conditions. It waa really ok, that was all that I knew at the time. I still had fun with my friends, got together discussing all the underground books and poetry, we were just quiet about it. We went hiking to close by Beskid mountains (only 20-30 min drive), and since our lives were almost completely devoid of material goods, we had focused on intellectual and spiritual growth, which may not have been a bad thing.

Hi, Cold Dark Roomers!
Just dashing in to say "Hi" and dashing back out again.
I can see I'm several pages behind in chat, but can't stop to read- have been super busy. Helped hubby with a family portrait shoot out on location yesterday. Also did a water change and rearranged my whole tank. The grid came in Saturday and I had to make changes in my lighting arrangements.

I got Jacques yesterday, but he is hiding VERY effectively!!!! Sometimes I can't find him at all, and it's only a half-filled 20 gal tank! As soon as I figure out how to post pictures, I will do so!
Today have friends coming over to watch football (gridiron) so I have a bunch of cooking to do.

(Is Cheddar ok? Been worried about him and Spud's Mom :( )

(Blows a kiss to the Room in general and zips out the door) :p

Congatulations on your new arrival Bea, I hope Jacques soon settles in and is less shy.

We have the 'Mari Lwyd' which, to sum it up briefly, is a horse's skull dressed up and paraded round the houses at Christmas/New Year by a group of men for a singing and leg pulling competition and everyone ends up drunk. Sounds like a usual night in my area and this Mari Lwyd looks a bit like Boy George.

It's not stupid, grief is hard, he has been a part of your life for quite a while.
It will get easier but you are bound to miss him. Try to remember the fun times you had with him.

I'm the opposite to that I like to keep things around me,
but we all deal with grief in our way - there's no rules.

Hi Guys:)

How was the Doctor Who Season Finale? No details!, but was it good??

I have to run, but I wanted to pop in and tell you the whacky dream I had last night. I had two whacky dreams actually, but ONE involved A FORUM MEMBER!!!:D Please go ahead and imagine it was yourself...ha ha ha!:D

The dream was weird and took place in a small airport. I was trying to get my parents to their terminal, but instead of security checkpoints, you had to play weird whacky games to get to the next point in the airport. Some of these weird game stations, were trivia games, video games, and even a giant game board (like the game "MouseTrap")! Any way, a random member on the forum was texting me to help me get my parents through the weird checkpoints and solve the games so I could quickly get them to their plane. They were texting me through every step like my own weird Obi Wan Kenobi:D

--I take this as a sign that I'm spending too much time on the forum:p

MUST LOG OFF NOW...hee hee:D
