Got my Aidan Turner fix in, but Francis... So sad an episode of Poldark.

It really was sad tonight but at least Aiden got his shirt off to compensate.
Very strange that he was the only one working in the mine that did!
Not gratuitous titillation for us girls at all

There's a very large hurricane headed in this general direction.
While it decides what it wants to do, I purchased $400 worth of batteries and generator gasoline.
My shutters are already 50% up, too.
If it comes, I'll be ready(ish).
If it doesnt, I'll be ready for the next one.
Besides, I can use the gas in our vehicles once the season is over in the end of November.

Best to be prepared.
Hope it misses you Ed and doesn't cause too much damage wherever it passes through.
What do you do with your torts? Do you load them in the tort mobile you made?

Gosh I only popped in for 5 mins and that was over an hour ago so must say Nos Da
Take care all and have a good Monday - if there is such a thing!

I do really like it here ! There are great people Evan though they all have one or problems ( problems = Torts ) and we all have and love them sometimes more then people ! It brings us all together ! We can talk about our problems , likes and dislikes openly . And we try to help and watch out for each other .

Very nicely stated

Make up isnt really my thing at all. I just have a lot of dark spots from my terrible acne so i decided this may help a little.
But yes ! Freckles are cute! My classmate has freckles but you can only see it when youre close to her. The make up covers it all.

I remember when you posted in the "What you look like thread." You're a total babe with nothing to worry about!

Expensive day so far. We've bought a mattress topper for us and a fridge for hibernating Joe.

The fridge needed to be big enough inside to cope with a box of earth big enough to hold all 10.5 inches/3.4kg of Joe which has been something of a challenge. They all have lumps and bumps in stupid places reducing the box capacity!

However, last winter was so difficult (just before Christmas, after we'd hibernated Joe, we had a week at 18C!) with getting consistent cold weather we feel that double box hibernation, which we've done for over 40 years, is no go for us and we're going to have to bite the bullet.

Who knows, maybe climate change will mean we don't hibernate him at all in a few years time.

Next purchase, a suitable probe thermometer

Sounds like some good purchases though! I've been wanting to get one of those down featherbed mattress toppers. I love those things!

And -man!- your thoughts about climate changes are depressingly realistic!!!

Glad you're preparing. I've been watching the news and wondering about our Floridians.

It's funny, New Yorkers have the reputation of being tough BUT...NO...it's the Floridians. -They trick you by wearing flip flops and bright shirts, but they have to be tough as nails to deal with everything that blows their way

Hoping your health is okay. I actually don't drink whatsoever. I've wondered if I'd fit in at a future CDR meetup.
Stress can do a lot of damage as well.

Happy Saturday and first day of October to you all!
Not long until Christmas!!
It must be next week if all the goods in the shops are anything to go by!

You're absolutely right.
I'm actually applying for a second job as a seasonal/holiday worker right now. It would be good for me. I still get my teacher pay over the holidays plus a little retail working money would be really helpful. I have an interview at a "Best Buy" tomorrow. Look out world, I may be in a polo shirt and khakis very soon! ...Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!

You too, Lyn!
Take care! Have a good week!

Yes
Tort mobile it would be.
Though it looks less likely that this one will hit us directly.
That can't be said of the poor folks in Haiti.

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all. Another week begins. Looking at my diary, there are too many meetings to go to!

I hope your night wasn't too disturbed @ZEROPILOT. Coping with a hurricane sounds awful to those of us unused to them; having to deal with them more than once every year is beyond my imagination.

It sounds like counselling might help with a few things as you're on meds for depression as well, I think. Good move by your doctor. Tell the counsellor everything... s/he won't judge and is there to help

Very cold night (3C) has turned into a beautiful afternoon around 18C. I'm actually feeling too hot now having got dressed for the near frost this morning!

i'm going to call them. i'm not proud of it, but i can't go down this road again

 

[JoesMum]

Don't feel ashamed of it either. There isn't a single one of us without something we'd rather that hadn't happened.

The counsellor is there to help you. And so are we.
