COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Brilliant! May I suggest this as the official anthem of TFO at large?

Quite sad though, the words may need a bit of tinkering as Lyn W and John have now left us, and also Kirsty who was the only other one to give it a like at the time has gone now.

Very fittingly reminds me of the cartoon on TFO’s Facebook page:

Yeah, I love that.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

“CDR 4ever”?

Now, THAT, I would approve of!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

P.S. What’s wrong with your weather, apart from the little rain you had?
Our forecast shows snow again!

Nothing, but I can't take Tidgy out in the rain.
Or wifey come to that.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

All caught up. I hope. Good morning, roommates!
I have to clean the house, work, and meet a friend for coffee, all before 1:30 today. Naturally, in that short time, I’ll be able to do only two out of the three, and if you remember my Russian proverb featuring a wolf, you’ll know which one is on the back burner.

Good morning, Lena!
Lesson for me in half an hour!
Booooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning Lena. Good morning all. It’s somewhat damp outside ... dull and rainy...

Plans for a good walk shelved until later. I really will be doing some cleaning instead.

Still quite damp here, but not raining yet, only a few grey clouds left it seems.
Good morning, Linda.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning, Roommates, 608 posts to go!

No reason why not.
But the Cold Dark Room already has its own Anthem.

Hahaha. That’s a great anthem, @Moozillion! And now it’s ringing in my ears

I see. You need to take good care of your girls. (Mis-typed that as “gils” at first, but I guess it’s not that wet )

Or maybe not? Is it the student who always shows up?
Good morning, Adam!

Yay! It’s a cleaning day in the CDR, and I’m not alone.
Good morning, Linda!

Probably is at the bottom of the hill, so might be useful.

This one usually turns up, but often late.

Woohoo! It's been a late night for me. It's 2am here so I better scurry off to bed.
Scurry scurry....

Were you by any chance working on your prototype?

 

[CarolM]

Thinking about getting a new tattoo.

What design? And where?

When I've got a little more time and the weather's better for the photos.
"The Tort Who Walked By Herself"
"

I like the sound of that. Looking forward to reading it.

 

[CarolM]

I shall try.
Really wish I could.

[emoji8] It is fine. What will be, will be. All in good time. And in the meantime we will continue to perfect our watersaving techniques [emoji1]

Well I told the hubby about my "product idea" and he gives me this surprised look and tells me that it sounds great. He always seems shocked when I have good ideas[emoji57]
Anyways. He said there is a guy at his work that has a couple of patents and is going to get some advice from him.
You can search existing patents for free on the website @JoesMum gave me, so I have to see if someone beat me to it.
If there is not a patent on it, then it's on to the prototype.
I am quite intimidated by the whole process. A patent lawyer would make things easier but they are so expensive, I don't want to waste my money until I know if this can be done.

Good luck. Totally worth the effort if it is a good idea. Kudos to you for coming up with it. Lots of people don't have that kind of talent.

Google knows everything. In the UK we have a patent office, so I just googled the US equivalent

Yyyeeeesss. But you also need to know how to ask google the right question otherwise it takes forever to get the info you are looking for.
