COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good evening all. It's been a rather long day. Just thought I'd pop in to let you know things are OK.

Kwikfit sorted the slow puncture and then it took nearly 6 hours to drive to Buxton (only 250 miles) as the traffic was so awful. I did stop twice, but not for long... my back would have seized up completely without breaks. I finally got here at 7pm.

Mum is stable. She looks very tired. She has Labyrinthitis - feels dizzy every time she moves and couldn't stop vomiting until the medics gave her an injection.

Sister is even more tired having been on the go since 2am; she's gone home for some sleep. She has a job interview tomorrow morning! So does my daughter come to think of it.

I'm heading for bed having raided KFC for dinner. I need to buy a coat tomorrow; I forgot to bring one and Mum and sister are both much shorter than me! Luckily Buxton is full of hill-walking shops due to it's location in the Peak District national park - so it shouldn't be hard to get something waterproof!

It never rains but it pours.
(very apt in the Peak District).
continued well wishes for your mother and good luck to both the job seekers tomorrow.
Take care of yourself , as well.

Thoughts & blessings to your mum & fingers crossed for the job interviews tomorrow for your sister & daughter. Only 250 miles.... In the weather we had..... With all you will be tired. Hope you get some good rest!

Evening; Steve.
Keeping well ?

So, a no to Bath and Body wallflower plug ins then? I never would have even thought of this. I am so thankful for this forum!

This place is fairly random, but you've really lost me there.
Wrong thread, I think ?
But any time you feel like a coffee or some fishfingers and custard, please feel welcome and pull up an armadillo.

Hi everyone.

You're in a dark cave (not a dark room), with only one match, a lump of coal, a stove, and a kerosene lamp. You have the option of lighting one. Which do you light first?
Obviously, you light the match first.

No you don't, it's the Cold Dark Room, lighting matches is prohibited.
So are stoves and kerosene lamps.
Coal is permitted for make-up usage and for feeding jellyfish.

Good evening John. How are you?

What year in this century is the same when its number is turned upside down?

Answer:1961

Now I know I'm playing catch-up from a while ago, but that was last century, Gillian.
This century, the answer is none.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

[Tidgy's Dad]

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm up to March in my catch up.
Just realized Yellow left us In January.
So did Shannon, i think.
I hope they're well and having fun wherever they are.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Mousetrap!
What a great game.

It's weird.
A good percentage of these old posts are by Lyn.
So it's been rather like she's still here, making me laugh.
But she's not.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Well, it's so quiet here, even i'm tired of talking to myself.
Time for some research, I think.
See you tomorrow Roommates.
Nighty night.

Good night, Adam- sleep well. Maybe we'll hear from Lyn tomorrow.

I will probably not be here for the next 2 days: I'm going to be at a meditation and chanting (in Sanskrit!!! ) workshop. The workshops last all day, but when I'm home in the evening I'm pretty wiped out: the chanting really takes a lot of concentration.
Hugs to all, and don't step on a jellyfish!

I'm not asleep, just studying.
Wow! I know "The jewel in the lotus", of course.
"Om mane padmi hum"
It's in a couple of Doctor Who stories, so i knew it from a very young age.
Enjoy your days and after you've recovered tell us all about it.
I am very curious.
The luminous jellyfish are now fairly black, so have become a bit of a danger in here.

You have a wonderful, positive attitude, John.
I caught one rat in my live trap and dropped the trap into a bucket of water. I hadn't measured first. The bucket was too shallow.
Long story short, I bought the cheese eating SOB to work and let him free. Now he can eat school bus wiring!

If he'd eaten my cheese there would have been no mercy.
Torture, anguish and made to watch Star Trek : Voyager

Hi everyone long time no see and read!
I've had had big PC problems this week with pop ups from that damned persistent dnsunlocker again but think I have managed to get rid again - for a while anyway. Just logged in to see if I've been successful deleting it and don't have much tonight but
hope you are all well - will read back and see what I've missed, and try to catch up with you on the weekend.
Nos da for now!

Hopefully, this is the case again and Lyn will soon be back with us.
