COLD DARK ROOM

Oh, I didn't realize that you're a new member.

In that case you'd have to ask someone more experienced than I am.

Sorry.

What about her soaks.
I am currently soaking Tidgy in two feet of Lucozade but she doesn't seem to like it .
Will she get used to it in time ?

 

[JoesMum]

Yes, I recall the Richard Dimbleby documentary on spaghetti trees on Panorama.
Thanks for the advice.
What about cheese as a substrate ?

The pre-sliced stuff can be used in place of a shower curtain or pondliner to damp-proof a tort table.

And the only recommended use for aerosol and tube cheeses is as a sealant; they're not for human consumption.

Good afternoon all.

Things still improving with Mum. She's currently knitting which is a really good sign; mum knits a lot.

Daughter got her job - it's only in Sainsbury's filling station, but it will replenish her bank account until she gets something she actually wants to do

Sister is awaiting the outcome of her interview - there are more people being interviewed on Friday.

As for me, I'm optimistic that I'll go home on Sunday when sister's work schedule allows for her to take over if needed.

Hope all is well with the rest of the CDR inmates.

Evening, Linda.
All sounds pretty positive today.
Fingers crossed for sis.
I don't have a cuttlefish bone, would a tin of calamari in olive oil suffice ?

I'm headed back to Georgia next week to see mom.
she is suddenly anxious to get out of Georgia and come to Florida. But she has to apply for Florida Medicaid as a resident. It's a catch 22.
It looks like she might be moving into my uncles house. It's north of me by about an hours drive on the freeway. (My house is too small)
Then we can get her insured and try to look for a home for her up there because all that I've found here that is covered by Medicaid and her Social Security are Hell holes!
I'll also be looking to purchase a house up there and put my current one up for sale.
It'll be an hours drive to work, but the houses are so much cheaper there.(Port saint Lucy)

Big changes and a fair amount of stress headed your way, Ed.
But, hopefully, once it's all sorted it will all be for the good.
Good luck!

Adam, once you get the green light to feed your tort (by the way what is her name?) spaghetti, give her some of this, which looks....... delicious!

And please let me know of the outcome.

Apparently, it's fine if I use fresh spaghetti.
Is the garnish optional ?
My tortoise is named Tidgy and she hates fresh greens.

Inshallah.
Is it safe to use Turtle Wax to polish my tortoise ?

Thank you very much.
I shall be using baked beans as my substrate, as they allow for burrowing and are good for retaining humidity.

Wow! Even cheese?!

Hello Adam, I guess she will get used to it, eventually.

Thanks, Gillian!
You have put me at ease.
I thought I might be doing something wrong.

 

[Gillian M]

Goodness...........you're making me really laugh!!

Take it easy, she'll get used to YOU and you'll get used to her.

Take it easy, she'll get used to YOU and you'll get used to her.

So far, she has only bitten off three fingers.
But they were wifey's and she has several others.

A good idea Adam. You are doing well, when considering you're a beginner.

Only? GOD only knows what she'll eat next.

Did she like them?

Thanks, I am learning so much in this Cold Dark Room!

wifey ?
She was rather attached to them, yes.

You did not tell me: did you get the OK from the experts as far as spaghetti is concerned?

Good to know.

We like having you here.

Yes, it's okay if it's fresh off the tree.
