COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Opinions have been expressed via email, on here and by PM. Party poopers are not welcome in the CDR and last night’s unwelcome visitor caused a lot of upset. I am holding out for an apology in here.

In the meantime we can’t let bad feeling kill the CDR, so actually I think we prove the point rather better if we revive the CDR as soon as possible.

We have a very special friendship community here. I value my friends around the world. This forum ain’t perfect, but there isn’t an alternative that suits everyone so we must make the best of it we can. Sometimes you just have to accept the neighbours are not as friendly as they might be.

And if anyone wants Adam’s email address he has given me permission to share it. Just send me a PM.

Or, as another saying goes,
Don’t eat too much cake —
Or your tummy will ache

No, that’s not the one I was looking for...

What cake is available. personally I like cheese cake. especially baked cheese cake. Yuuuuuummmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyy.

I’m voting for cheesecake too! And I think that’s what Dan wanted also. Yummy!!!!

 

[Kristoff]

Very very possible. I see all kinds of things, all the time, except for the glasses on top of my head of course.

What would be really strange if you could see the glasses on top of your head, especially without a mirror

Well sheesh! I was busy yesterday and didn't get back to the CDR until this a.m. Dang it! I'm so sorry there was trouble arriving at the winner, dang it! I can attest to the fact that for some unknown reason when Camwron posted the program posted it twice. As a moderator, I see all posts, even deleted ones, and for the past couple days there have been several deleted duplicate Cameron posts. So, in Cameron's defence, he was only trying to clear up any confusion with the count, but ended up causing more confusion.

I would like to make a proposal as an uninvolved third party. I think Lena and Adam should share the title. Two prizes. Two winners. What say you all?

Welcome back, Yvonne!
I’m quite content with the second place (or third?). Adam deserves the prize not only because he posted at the right time — or because he is the founder of the CDR — but also because of the quality of his posts. Even if we did post about the same time, Adam is the real winner.

Right. I’ve just delivered them to their art teacher. It’s safe to eat cake now

This one is for Sabine: (just because it has a cat in it.)

No, that`s not true for me because I really have a wonderful voice and I love it to sing.... and other people told me more than one time that they love listening to me when I sing.

How well do your cats sing though?

 

[Bee62]

The way I see it Sabine is that both of them won. As I see it, Yvonne has a prize to give and Adam has a prize to give. Soooo Lena can get the prize from Adam and Adam can get the prize from Yvonne. There is nothing to be done right now, as what is done is done and cannot be undone. I don't mind talking. From my perspective I haven't been quiet because of last night, I have been quiet because I have been pushing my bedtime lately and it has caught up with me. I have a long weekend ahead as well, as the dog we wanted from the SPCA they said would end up being too large, so we will be getting up early tomorrow to go and look at more dogs again. Then I am getting a treat for myself and getting my hair done (hiding the grey hair) and then of course Sunday will be a meet and greet at the SPCA and Laundry day. I am looking forward to the meet and greet but not the laundry. Then we are back to Monday again. I sooooooo cannot wait until I can retire and just have lazy days.....

That seems fair to me with the prizes of Adam and Yvonne.
You don`t have to apologize why you are not posting much. We all have to do a lot of "chorus" every day.So it is more than okay when you are busy and not much posting.

We know. You’re a woman of many talents!

 

[Kristoff]

Shall we do this: Adam can send me a prize if he likes, and I will send a prize to Adam. And Yvonne can send the grand prix to Adam. Or was there a third winner? (Not Cameron.) The 100,001 post?

I strongly agree with you Yvonne. Two prizes and two winners.
I never thought that the codemned game we are playing here would turn out that way that members are upset about it. It makes me angry.
It is only a game. No life depends on it.

Maybe for the next 100.000 thread an advice from me: Mods should keep their hands out of it until the 100,000 post is done. @jaizei
( like you said you will do and have done, Yvonne )

 

[Bee62]

How well do your cats sing though?

Badly !

 

[Bee62]

Thank you. Singing is the most best of them. But I am too old and too much home bound to become a singer ....

 

[Yvonne G]

Personally, I really like the idea of our fearless leader being the first then the 100,000th person to make a post in the thread. It's only fitting! And it's only fair to Lena, who saw her post with the number 100,000 next to it, to also be a winner.

We had a bit of turmoil on the Chat thread when we did the 100,000 thing too. I guess things like this really mean a lot to people.

 

[Bambam1989]

Hi, Kathy! Your post gives me an idea. How about we all have a bit of a nostalgic weekend and share how we first came to the CDR, or something about our friends here or memorable moments? To celebrate the occasion before @Tidgy's Dad is back and we can pop that champagne? @ZEROPILOT @Moozillion @JoesMum @johnandjade @Bee62 @Bambam1989 @CarolM @Yvonne G @Gillian Moore @JSWallace @DE42 @Killerrookie @AZtortMom @Laura1412 @Linhdan Nguyen @kirsty Johnston @meech008

I read alot of posts in just about every category on the forum.
I noticed there were always new posts in the CDR so I popped in to check out what was going on in here. I introduced myself but at first didn't get involved very much due to alot of things happening in my life. When things calmed down, I came back and realized how amazing the people in the CDR are. Now I'm a frequent lurker!

CHEESECAKE!! [emoji7]

 

[JoesMum]

Looks like I don't have to share the chocolate cake then. Suits me

 

[CarolM]

Oh no, you need to look for another dog? What a complicated process. But I’m glad to hear actually that they’re so thorough (if that’s what it is).

They said that the one we were interested in wouldn't be suitable for us. So it is back to the drawing board. I don't mind as long as Miley likes the dog and gets on with it then i am happy.
