Okay. I am going to be a good girl and go to bed early as I really need to get some decent sleep. My husband can survive just fine on little sleep but I unfortunately don't do well at all. So I am going to finish my nice hot tea and go to sleep early. Good night all. Sleep tight. Mind the bed bugs don't bite. I hope tomorrow is a better day for everyone.

Only one point from me to add to this and then I am quiet:
Yes, it is Adam`s CDR and yes I can understand why he felt angry or somewhat else. But I am angry or better disappointed too.
Why ? It was not our fault what happend and we had not upset him. It was not right of him to leave us the way he did.
I felt like standing in the sun and then suddenly someone poured a lot of cold water over me. That`s how I felt last night !

Fair enough, Bee. Deep inside I feel guilty, even though I know all that confusion wasn’t my fault. (I do know that it’s not what Adam is angry about. But still, it all is very sad and frustrating.)
Do feel free to share your feelings — we’re here to listen to each other.

Well. Rue's substrate has been changed. I totally cleaned out the old. It was actually too wet. So that might have been part of the problem. I put in completely new substrate. Rue seems a little happier. But we will see how it goes tomorrow. I made it a little bumpy to make it a little bit more interesting for Rue. View attachment 232618

Looks so cosy that even I want to live there. [emoji106]

Baked stuffed peppers sounds very Mediterranean!
Sort of... a quick cheat. Homemade bolognaise sauce pulled from the freezer. A red pepper split in two and deseeded then filled with sauce and put in a casserole with the rest of the sauce poured over the top. Cover the casserole and bake in a medium oven until hot. I served it with couscous :)

Good night, Carol! Stay away from corner 5, too much wool in there.

I'm going to relate a tale that helps to explain why I have a phobia against eating fast food:

YUCK!!!!! I feel like throwing up!!!!!!!!

When Misty finds something on the floor she knows she's not supposed to have, she holds it in her front teeth and just looks at me until I notice her.

Well today I put aside my fear of fast food workers coughing on my food and stopped at Jack in the Box to try their new sandwich, the cheese steak. Because I had groceries, I brought the sandwich home to eat later.

So I got a bottle of water and the sandwich and sat down at the computer to eat and read. As I took my first bite something fell out onto the floor. I tapped my foot near it for Misty to clean up and continued to read and eat. After a bit I noticed she was resting her chin on my keyboard shelf and when I looked at her, she had a big green wad of chewed gum sticking out of the front of her mouth for me.

I have Dentyne Ice and Dentyne Pure, both of which are greyish white when chewed, not green. I feel sick to my stomach! I'll NEVER eat fast food ever again!!!!

Oh yuk! That is awful. That would put me off for life... Not that we eat fast food any more than you do! That is truky disgusting. I hope you are able to get rid of this awful image from your mind soon :(

Well went to the doc today and we think my Crohn's is acting up again. I have all the symptoms. So she has set me up an appointment to see a specialist. I hope meds well be enough to get me back on track this time.

Oh dear. That’s not good. :(

I hope the meds bring relief.

I know from my friend how difficult this is... she has supported me with my back and I have supported her with her Crohn’s for over 20 years now. It’s just as well our children have always got on with each other ... and somehow we never managed to coincide with crises.

Look after yourself.

I must retire to my bed now. If you have time could you check on Montgomery please? He’s not been in great form today after partying with the leprechaun and one-legged pirate last night. [emoji849] Hopefully he’ll be fit for coffee table duties in the morning.

I am very sorry that it has been ruined for Adam, I actually really don't understand it all, but I have never been really computer savy. I get by with the basics and maybe a little bit more. But I will let Adam have some time to himself, as he must have been quite hurt by it all. I sincerely hope though that he does not stay away too long, as he is quite an intergral part of the CDR and has become rather important to me, as all of you have as well.

Somehow I seem to have missed out: what happened last night besides the confusion over who made the 100,000 post? [emoji15]

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?

GREAT solution, Yvonne!!! [emoji2][emoji106]
