View attachment 226133

At first, she was WATCHING THE SHRIMP ON HER BACK!!!!!! But as soon as she noticed me (which you can see in this photo) she turned her head to look at me.

The Mighty Huntress Strikes Fear in the Hearts of Shrimp Everywhere...NOT!!!!!!!

Hellos, Shrimp!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

All this cheese talk has me wanting something made with cheese. I don't think I have anything though.

 

[DE42]

Yep that's not good.

@Tidgy's Dad

Hello Adam. Why do you hide yourself ? Saw you lurking today but not posting. I hope all is okay with you. We all miss you my dear friend.

I was not lurking! I don't know how i showed up unless I actually pressed the forum page (always up on my computer, never logged out) by mistake when doing something else.
I do not lurk!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

LURK!
LURK !

 

[JoesMum]

Typical. Adam turns up just as I start watching Dr Who! We had a very nice Stilton for lunch too

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I think Adam puts a LOT of time and energy into this forum, and he pours HIMSELF and his heart into his postings. Sometimes he needs a break, as we all do.

Tis true to a great extent,but not a good excuse on this occasion!
Thank you and sorry, Mooz.

Hello, roommates! I’m still lurking in the Central European corner of the CDR, but I’ve been trying to keep up. So let’s see if I got this right —
@ZEROPILOT and @johnandjade finally got to open their TORTOISE gifts — yay! But a part of @Moozillion ‘s gift ended up under John’s tree due to Santa’s delivery mistake. (Because he now uses DHL.)
Everyone had a great Christmas dinner featuring gator tail. (Everyone except me in pre-Christmas Budapest, that is, but of that later.)
@Maro2Bear fed the thousands with one sardine, because — just like @Yvonne G — they all refused to eat it.
@JoesMum didn’t want to catch the man flu but wanted to catch some z’s.
@CarolM is happy to be part of the Meerkat Scam, and @Bee62 is on the most recent welcoming committee scaring newcomers with the tales of leprechauns and wool spiders.
Finally, our beloved Dark Lord @Tidgy’s Dad has been missing since what Brits call by a rather disturbing name of Boxing Day.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone!

A neat summary.
Merry New Year's Egg, Lena!

It seems to me I vaguely remember Adam saying something about going somewhere? I looked back to see if I could find it, but couldn't.

Only the naughty step

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I thought that the outrage would poke him from his slumber.

Nothing wakes me once i'm in slumber.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

One serious issue with @Tidgy's Dad not being here.....
This place becomes eerily quiet.

Hmmm.
Not that quiet.
It is taking me hours to catch up!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yes. He's very much the guiding star of the CDR.

Bless! ! !
(you, not me)

I just found out what I thought was dandelion is actually cat's ear. Now I have to figure out where I can get dandelion from here in the Cape. Damn but they all look the same.

Cat's ear is also safe to feed and good for tortoises.
Most of this group of dandelion-like plants are good, there are many similar ones

Hi
And Welcome to the Cold Dark Room. This is the place where all sorts of things happen and definitely get interesting. A little later when some of the other roommates start waking up, I am sure they will give a better run down or explanation of what this place is. But although it is called the Cold Dark Room it is actually filled with lots of warmth and light.

And cheese.

 

[Yvonne G]

And cheese.

I see you've come out of your self-inflicted stupor in fine fettle. (Just what exactly is a fine fettle, and does it look anything like a Tardis?)

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

If Adam IS taking a break, I wish he would MENTION it, so we at least know he's OK. He had a near-fatal bout of tuberculosis some years back, and one worries.

Sorry.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I live just off to the side of the middle of nowhere in the Appalachian Mountains near the border of North Carolina in Tennessee. In particular I live in a place called coffee Ridge; actually the subsection coffee Ridge Loop at the head of coffee Ridge to me more precise. This is of course in the United States of America.
My name is Daniel son of Floyd son of Varnel. But you may call me Daniel or Dan if you wish.

Hi, Dan, how you getting on with the exam.
Coffee is good.
Ridges as well, probably
Welcome!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Lol thanks. I was reading some of the start to this thread last night but I am sad to say that I do not believe that I will make it all the way through.

I would recommend just reading my posts!
