COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Glad to hear you had a nice Christmas and new year

So far I’ve done 4 exams in 2 days and have another week and a half of them to go... so far they have all gone awfully but at least they’re only mocks, right?

I got my cartilage pierced 2 weeks ago but I’m not allowed it in school so it’s been rather hard to hide. I thought I could just put tape over it for gymnastics but apparently not... I have to hide it from my coach, too looks like I’ll have to rock the low pony, over the ears hairstyle for the next 2 months which is very impractical and looks rather stupid on me but at least it keeps it hidden, right?

Right.
Or you could wear a hijab.
Or big old style hearing aids that cover your ears.

Death and carnage all over again. Exotic fishes, birds, reptiles, all croaking.
All of the iguanas do not die. The vast majority do, but I'm theorizing that future cold weather surviving iguanas might breed baby cold resistant iguanas and in some time maybe we'd have a Florida "strain" that can handle our rare cold winters. Above freezing but below 50 degrees.
If we have actual frost, all bets are off the table.

Yes, the Florida super iguana.
That's evolution.

Hello everyone! long time, no see!

Being the forgetful person that i am, i managed to forget my password for a second time... and the password for my email account so i couldn't even reset it.
Anyway, I hope you all had an amazing christmas (if you celebrate it) and new year. I have been insanely busy with exams, gymnastics and parties.

Hello and welcome back.

 

[CarolM]

If I can manage to breathe okay, i'd be fine!

I forgot to brag that my hubby brought me home some plant seeds yesterday! Several varieties of nasturtium, pansies, and snapdragons.... He must be after something and trying to butter me up[emoji6]

Me thinks something is up. I read further on the hubby also took the day off. So seeds (which in effect is like flowers) taken the day off to spend with you.....I know it is the anniversary of the day you first met or your first kiss or the first time he winked at you. It's a first something anniversary and wanted to surprise you.[emoji5]

Hello and welcome back! It’s lovely to not see you! Happy new year

@spud’s_mum take a look at your email settings and see if you can nominate some as a rescue account. You can definitely do this in gmail and the other providers probably do it too. We have this set up in our family “just in case”. I have bailed out my daughter more than once!

G’day all. Like a broken record stuck in the same groove here in Maryland. Very cold....very dark.....very windy....and everything is all very frozen solid. Washington’s Potomac River is frozen, and tributaries to the great Chesapeake Bay..frozen too. Car batteries are dead, pipes are bursting, the only topic on the “news” is the weather. Hello Polar Vortex. Goodbye Global Warming?

Your deep freeze experience in the US has been headlining in the UK. Not good at all.

I believe the scientists dropped ‘global warming’ for ‘climate change’ some time ago as the most noticeable affect of the tiny increases in atmospheric temperature is extreme weather patterns at land level. How some people can continue to deny there’s a change, I do not know.

 

[Maro2Bear]

The frozen areas near the Chesapeake Bay of Md..... just looks cold, doesn’t it?

Agree on the change....here we are with below normal temps, I have friends in Vienna who said it was in the 50’s earlier this week. And, even though we are super cold, there’s another major change coming late next week, the Southern Gulf Stream will push a lot of warmth out of the south up toward the north east, could be 45-55 here in a week.

I would be willing to try ants... NOT MAGGOTS

Hmm, I never tried to eat insects but it is said and I believe, that insects could feed a lot of starving people. Insects are mostly easy to breed and they are full ot protein. A cow needs 3 - 4 years getting to an adult and a lot of food and water in this time. Some maggots need only a few days to be full grown and need rarely food. It is an idea. Maybe in a few years we eat steaks made of maggots ???
Eatable insects can you buy but at present, but they are too expensive:

and here is a book about cooking with insects:
