COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

The room does have a multi-dimensional property that we do not quite understand fully yet. For example have you noticed how the jellyfish are run on battery power, are living beings, and yet are somehow made out of edible jelly all at the same time? At first I thought it was some sort of leprechaun sorcery but as I have learned here in the CDR nothing is as it seems. It took a lot of time and effort I spent hours studying and then the lab dissecting one of the jellyfish. I have come to the conclusion they are multi-dimensional beings that somehow got trapped in this convergence of Dimensions we called the cold dark room. The ceiling has not been found because I believe there is no ceiling. As you proceed upward you just cross through an Infiniti of cross dimensional Rifts and in one of those threats the home of the dreaded wolf spider could exist. That is assuming that the wolf spider herself does exist. I still have much research to do and I may still be being fooled by a combination of leprechaun and wolf spider trickery it is hard to say has the results and data seem to shift and change for one time you look at them to another but I have faith that one day the truth will be known.

Hmmm well that is quite an undertaking. Too complicated for me. I have yet to sample a jellyfish. I was always too scared they might sting me. But what has me really worried is now we seem to have a wolf spider as well as a wool spider who might or might not exist. The wolf spider sounds dangerous [emoji33] [emoji33]

Will their names were not prophetic fortunately for them LOL.

I also had a chicken named Lazarus and his name was given to him because I killed him or at least I thought I did any come back to life. You say one day I was going to have to feed the chickens and this particularly honoree big black rooster decided to flog me. So I grabbed the first thing at hand and used it to try to bet the chicken away. That was a piece of a 2 by 4 that I hit the chicken Square in the head with by accident. He flopped to the ground tossed once or twice and layed completely still. So I understandably thought I had killed him, threw him on the back of the truck and down at the bottom of Spivey decided to toss him into the creek. Then a couple days later as my dad is coming home he told me there was a big black rooster walking around down at the mouth of Spivey that look just like mine. I thought this could not be but when I went down there, in shock I found that the chicken I had killed through in the back of my truck and then tossed into the creek was walking around just like nothing had ever happened. So we caught him and I brought him back home. He was maybe just a little off after that but for the most part he seemed quite himself. So we decided to name him Lazarus the chicken that God raised from the dead.

Lol. Sounds like quite a chicken. Are you sure he is not actually a ghost chicken?

Possibly from the same dimension. Maybe the wool spider can't hear trying to escape the wolf spider. But these are questions that we may never have the answers to.. .....

We have a public holiday on May 7 for May Day.

May Day is of course May 1, but the UK fixed the holiday as the first Monday in the month to simplify things or something.

I have just had a long session with my physio/osteo which was really good. Firstly she doesn’t think my pain is neurological (my biggest fear) ... and secondly she thinks I need to see a psychotherapist as she thinks my repeated back issues are invariably triggered by stress. Basically, she thinks I have lingering PTSD from the mess up round my operations 15 years ago.

She has a point. I was so disabled by the injury, the hospital first sent me away saying nothing was wrong and then when I did get to see a neurosurgeon who diagnosed the problem the first op didn’t fix it leading to a second op. I am constantly afraid that I will end up needing major surgery yet again. I will follow it up.

Meanwhile, she has recommended an active, but relaxed weekend. I’ll have both children home as it’s son’s birthday so they can pamper me

Active and relaxed cancel each other out for me. But you’re a more adventurous, outdoor person than I am. Good luck to your children. (Don’t let them off the hook!)

Am I the only person in the CDR to have been IMPATIENTLY waiting to hear the name of the new little British prince? [emoji846]

Yes?

 

[Moozillion]

It's okay I had chickens named dumpling, pot pie, and casserole LOL

Yeah- whenever I talk about getting a duck pond, hubby wants to name them Gumbo, BBQ etc

 

[DE42]

Lol. Sounds like quite a chicken. Are you sure he is not actually a ghost chicken?

If he is he belongs to someone else now. I gave what was left of my chickens away to someone that had several chickens nearby. The dogs would never leave them alone and most causing quite a bit of trouble unfortunately. One day when I let them out to scratch around some Sparky killed a couple of them. After that I decided that as long as I had Sparky I could not have the chickens also.
On the bright side though I am going to renovate the chicken coop and turn it into more of a jumbo size rabbit hutch. That way it is still being used and what I have in there will be able to live in there comfortably without needed time outside of the enclosure.

Almost over. Just two more days of school left, 4 final exams, and I'll be done for the semester.

Good luck with the exams, Dan!
New avatar?

 

[Moozillion]

Thank you. I thought I'd change it and that's the best pic over got of me currently. Lol

Looking mighty sharp there, Dan!!!

 

[DE42]

You should name them Huey Dewey and Louie. !!!

 

[DE42]

Good luck with the exams, Dan!

Yes I decided to change it up a little bit and get a slightly more up-to-date picture.

 

[Kristoff]

Yes.

But it’s Louis Arthur Charles

Louis is name of the late Lord Mountbatten who was a favourite of Prince Charles. I’m pretty sure there are some Louis in the Spencer side too.

And Arthur is after Arthur Dent of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fame?

Looking mighty sharp there, Dan!!!

Thank you very much!

Husband brought me home a "gift" last night...
Someone he works with used to have a tree cutting service. They had an enclosed "wagon" that they used to haul the limbs away. They got out of the business last year and didn't need the wagon anymore so they gave it to my husband.
I asked him "what did you want that for?"
"That, darling, is going to be Clunker's house"
O
I have mixed feelings about this idea.

I’d need to see some pictures.
Is the wagon mobile? Your husband might still be planning to move some day...

 

[Kristoff]

Hmmmm, we need pix. A mansion in the rough?

Snap!

 

[Kristoff]

But...but if i find him wouldn't I be able to get some booz?

Not for free, of course!

Tomorrow, April 28 here in the US, is hubby and my 17th wedding anniversary!! We've both been very busy, especially him, so I went ahead and made reservations at my favorite restaurant for tomorrow night. To be fair, he likes that restaurant a lot too. He has SEVERAL favorite restaurants, so this works. I also bought him a new bow tie that he'lll get as a surprise tomorrow night (He only wears bow ties and has a lot of fun with them.)
I wasn't expecting anything from him because he's been so busy- AND he'll be very busy tomorrow during the day- so I was happily surprised today when he brought me THESE:

Here are the pics. Got distracted by aphids on my rose bushes.
Don't know why they put "waste treatment" on it. Maybe they bought it from someone else...
We probably won't be able to start on it for about two weeks while getting stuff done in the house. In that time I'll sketch out some ideas and we will start ordering stuff.
Hubby also informed me that he bought some sheets of of lexan and nylon from an online surplus auction. He will pick it up on his way to work, should be able to make good use of it.
The very first thing will be to unbolt the "box" from the frame and give it a good sandblasting to get rid of the rust and then paint it... Wish the box height was a tad taller. Need to get official dimensions.
Alright, now I'm getting myself excited.
PS- I still have no power in my art room!

Why take it off the wheels. They would make it a mobile home for clunker.

Oops forgot to attach the pic.[emoji85] View attachment 237085

Hey, some are leather! That is seriously scary!!!

But with your investigation skills surely we can get closer to the truth. You could be the CDR's very own Moulder!!!!
