[Tidgy's Dad]

Cheese

Of course.
but I get the points.
And you get a bonus.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hello everyone!!!!

Squirt says hi too

Good afternoon!
And hi to you too, Squirt.
Looking good.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

OMG!! Poor Suki! WAY TO GO, ED!!!!!!!!!!!

Good afternoon, Bea!
We'll have to open our pressies soon, you'll be glad to hear.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hello Bea!
Has your TORTOISE package started talking to you? Mine says, "Open me! Open me!" It's barely audible though, so no one else can hear.

Hmmmmmmm..........

And now for my story.
One summer, I was hitching back from London across Salisbury Plain when a rusty old, rackety Bedford van pulled up with about four greasy looking individuals crammed into the front. "Hop in the back", I was told, so i did.
I made it a rule never to refuse a lift, as though I was attacked a couple of times, it was invariably by someone smartly dressed in a nice car. You never can tell.
Opening the doors at the back, I was enveloped in a cloud of aromatic smoke. Peering through the dispersing fumes within were several figures, huddled together. I got in.
It turned out to be a Chapter of Hell's Angel's who'd been trying to get to "The Henge" for the Summer Solstice and had their bikes impounded by the police for excessive naughtiness. (the Angels were naughty, not the bikes).
I spent three days with them, unwashed and drunken and high as they were. They were great fun and extremely generous and kind.
We never did get to the Stones.(Henge, not Rolling).
When it was time for me to move on, they refused to let me hitch as it was too dangerous, drove me to Salisbury and paid for my coach ticket back to Bristol!
Lovely bunch.

I'd have to say that you are a lucky man. From my limited dealings with that organization.

My friend (Anita) and her hubby have arrived in England!!!!!! Unfortunately, she's coming down with a cold, but knowing her, she will soldier on, regardless. It's already getting dark there and it's only 4:00 pm! Before leaving, they bought a data plan for their phones, but she has to buy a UK charger.

You can all expect to be bored silly over this week as I relay her experiences! I am living vicariously through her for this trip!!!

Good afternoon, Bea!

AT LAST!!!!!!!!
I've got my scissors at the ready...

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I got the name Zeropilot from members of another club that I used to befriend as a young man.
Very weary of outsiders.

You might want to make sure the vet knows this happened. I say that because I did not want to get rabies vaccines for my cats since they are never allowed outside, either. My vet explained that rabies vaccines are required by law and THE VET IS HELD LIABLE for failing to comply. I don't know how anyone would find out, though. She is a great person, though, and did NOT give my cat the rabies vaccine.

If your vet puts this reaction in Suki's medical records, it WOULD be a valid medical reason to not give the vaccine. Then you would be covered, the vet would be covered and any other vet helping out would see and accept it as a valid medical reason to NOT vaccinate.

A friend of mine took her half-grown dog to the vet for the usual exams, and when they gave him the rabies shot he collapsed right there in the office. The vet and techs immediately did everything they could, including CPR, but the dog was gone. The dog's brother (litter mate) had already gotten his shots and was fine. Go figure.
Duke is very LUCKY that you're her dad!!!!!!!

What a sad story.
I'm sad now.

May not be on much today: off to get groceries this morning and then assisting hubby at a photo shoot this afternoon.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Back just for a minute. I just ate way too big of a lunch and I am in the middle of a transmission build. It might not get finished today.
I'm anxious to get home and see if Suki acts like her regular, super excited self when she sees me.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Help! The tape is coming off one of my packages! View attachment 195311
I didn't do it. (At least not consciously.) It must be my evil cat! Or one of Bea's baby meerkats possibly sneaked in.

I agree with Squirt.
Something alive in there trying to get out.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I don't know. I hope not!

Don't panic.
If it were, it"ll probably be dead by now.

I agree with Squirt.

Noooo! That sounds scarier than the story about Hell's Angels!
Anyway, whatever it is, I'll try to keep it in until the time comes.

 

[Kristoff]

Adam, please, this will give me nightmares!!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

What do you teach?

Mainly English, usually to university students, but sometimes younger ones or adults.
I also teach a bit of other subjects, recently Latin, astronomy and palaeontology, for example.

Really hope she's well now. Love to Suki!

I'm having some issues with my Internet connection, so I'll be settling down in the corner for the night.
Спокойной ночи, товарищи! Sweet dreams, whenever it comes to your time zone!

Like anything, i'm sure there are some people who give them a dad name.
I've met a lot of gang members from various organizations and most of them were rather nice, if you accept them at face value and treat them nicely.
I like meeting different sorts and usually get along with people wherever and whenever I find them.
The world is my lobster.
Or something.

The way you write things, Bea, I doubt anyone will get bored.
I'm rather looking forward to it.
I think it's compulsory to have a cold in England during December.
