COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Just don't admit to being British. We have enough problems with EU bureaucrats as it is.


I think a Cornish Cream Tea is the accepted control for such for research.

I can get away with looking like a Moroccan.
Though Morocco has applied to be in the EU (really) as they are the only country in Africa not to be allowed in the African Union.
I can't get Cornish cream here.
I can get strawberry jam and wifey makes scones.
Would gecko milk be an acceptable substitute? There are plenty of geckos about at the moment.

It depends if the geckos round your way are clots.

(I'd better get to bed in case of a bad night )

They do seem to be pretty dim.
Night night, sleep tight.
Time to clean Tidgy's teeth before bed.

Hi Lyn, hi Lola. Hope you are both well.

Hi Gillian sorry so late getting back to you.
I'm very well, Lola's stump looked a bit sore this morning but better this evening.
He has been grounded today so no chance of rough surfaces irritating it.
I've been keeping it as clean as possible but it's impossible to cover it.
He is fine in himself and has a tremendous appetite.
Hope you and Oli and well too.

Is it safe to feed spaghetti to my tortoise ?

Yes - but don't forget to leave her the tin opener.

Some of them are very polite and friendly.

The Daleks are a nightmare when they've had a few, and become very aggressive so just when you think you're about to get served they exterminate the bar staff and you have to wait for replacements.

More of that to come as you read on........................

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.

That's good news about your Mum and congratulations to your daughter, any job is better than none to keep her going.

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)

At least it will be easier when she's closer to you.
Sounds very complicated to relocate people who need care.
More stress for you Ed? Take it easy and keep an eye on your own health.

Evening, Lyn.
Shared a few drinks with the Dalek operators a couple of times, they did indeed get quite loud after a few.
But never exterminated anybody much.

i use dolphin friendly tuna cans... obviously I proved an electric tin opener

Snap!

Evening Adam, I really hope any new tort owners don't stumble across this thread first!!

Um ?
What's wrong with it ?
I have just tucked Tidgy into her Slumberland King Size with her hot water bottle and teddy bear.
Is this not the correct procedure ?

No that's fine just make sure you turn the light out as they need darkness to sleep.

I was advised red coiled bulbs were the thing.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

...bleach might even be safer. Who knows what's in the scent.

A very belated welcome to the Cold Dark Room.
Please call again and the one-legged pirate should be happy to serve you with custard and a beverage of your choice.
Pull up an armadillo, sit down and relax for a while.

New planet discovered which is only 24 trillion miles away and could have right conditions for life.

All very exciting - but wish they'd spend the money for space programmes on solving this planet's problems

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I was thinking about my older woman comment and realized that every girlfriend I ever had. Both wives and all but just one woman I ever dated have been older than myself.
It's about 1 to 5 years with the biggest gap being 12 years.
Strange, huh?
I don't find myself attracted to older women in particular and it's not about maturity. I'm a young jerk at heart.
Has anyone else had all younger or all older relationships?

wifey is 13 years my senior.
I have mostly dated older ladies, too.
( i nearly said "like you", but that could have another meaning)

No, let's go out there!
It's in the "life zone" as well, where the temperature is right for liquid water.
Very exciting.
Proxima Centauri, here i come!
