COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Hello Lyn, Michelle, and John!

Hello Cold Dark Roomers
I just got back into town from Christmas/med travel. Delicious food was eaten, presents unwrapped, kids mildly tortured -but they're doing even better than last checkup!, tort and family safely transported in crazy weather, and Star Wars watched with my parents and most of my siblings.

I haven't been gone long but found I missed my forum pen-pals! I'm looking forward to catching up on what's been happening in here and on the forum in general. Right now, I'm needing to work on more unpacking, doing a few more "pet chores", and then making TONS of our favorite party foods. We have a traditional movie fest with our kiddos and eat and party like we're serving half the state! Looking forward to our New Years movie party!

Here's a couple photos from the drive. I'm considering making a post about how I transport my tortoise. I've had to tell people how I do that a few times on the forum.

Mavis did great on the trip. You know she's well if she's willing to snack..

All relatives fussed over children, dog, and tortoise and spoiled them to bits. I felt spoiled as well One of my sisters had only seen Mavis in photos! Yay...

I read this sign a little differently than it was intended and giggled a little too much...

Very snowy there!!
Glad you had a good time and are back safely.
Mavis looks like a seasoned traveller!
Was it about a year ago you found her at the side of the road in the snow or was that another tort?
Hope you have a good evening with the family.
I am just doing Pizza for my nephew and I - we fancied a change from party foods.
If I don't speak to you later Happy New Year you all!!

In case I don't get the chance later Hope you and your families all have a good evening however you spend it!!
And I wish you everything you wish yourselves for 2016

good bye 2015

Good bye a couple of days if you're not careful!
Still, very yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I hope everyone is having a good day, I'm going to check out a movie today since I'm off and the hubby is at work
I'm going to see The Hateful 8
Looks good

Yes, I want to see this.
Love Tarantino.(mostly).
Hope you have a good day and enjoy the film.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Where did everyone go today??!

Hi, meech!!!
I've been offline for 24 hours as I ran out of credit and haven't had the time 'til now to go and get more from the shop.
But everyone else is preparing for New Year's parties I guess.
Have fun!
Feeling better ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hi everyone looks like its been pretty quiet in here today.
Hope everyone is OK and is having a good last day of 2015!!
Only 6 hours left!!!
I've been shopping with my nephew - he wanted to buy a new dslr camera
(bit too ambitious for him really but he likes photography and belongs to a club - so why not.)
He then had to endure a couple of hours of me in and out of shops, finishing off some Xmas shopping.
Which he wasn't too happy about but he has yet to learn give and take - not just take.
Anyone doing anything special tonight?

Evening, Lyn, just a quiet night in for wifey and me, few glasses of wine and some champers at midnight.
Good enough.
It has been quiet today in here.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I think Lola is excited about the New Year, he is still wandering around and stomping through his tunnels.
He came for a car ride earlier which he found to be a very moving experience (thankfully - it had been 10 days again!)

Tidgy won't go to bed tonight!!!!!
It's ridiculous but almost as if they know something's happening.

Hi, Chrissy!!!!
Missed you around here, too.
Enjoy your night.
The tortoise transport idea is great, especially as Mavis looks so happy and content.

Yes! Good memory, Lyn!!! Mavis is my one and only tortoise who's life began with us on a snowy roadside. Seems kind of fitting we lovingly take her safely through snowy roads

Glad you're having a low-key pizza New Year. Sometimes it's really good to relax a bit and actually sit back to enjoy the holiday. I hope you and your nephew are enjoying your evening. It's only after Lunch time on New year's eve here.

Happy New Year to you!

 

[Yellow Turtle01]

Ow!!!!!!
it hurts my eyes!!!!

How are you, Delaney ?

Don't look at the light!
Great, thank you. How about you, wifey and the kid/tortoise?
Nah. We're a normal, boring bunch

I'm great, thanks!!!
Wifey's good and Tidgy is just so happy and healthy she sends off positive energy in waves.
Yes, good plan, perhaps closing my eyes would have been a good idea.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Right!!
I'm back after a run out of internet credit break.
Serious beer time has begun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello cold dark roomers! I am paying a quick visit to wish all my friends a very happy to new year. To confuse you all I've attached a nice Scottish poem to bring in the new year!!

May the best ye hae ivver seen be the warst ye'll ivver see.
May the moose ne'er lea' yer girnal wi a tear-drap in its ee.
May ye aye keep hail an hertie till ye'r auld eneuch tae dee.
May ye aye juist be sae happie as A wuss ye aye tae be.

I just had to put Lola in his hide and turn the lights out.
he had tucked himself into a colder corner under his tunnel!
Silly tort!
