Warehouse logistics local and international, Shipping, receiving, coordination of transporting goods. I'm the guy that makes sure you get that thingy you ordered from Amazon on time

Aaahh. Lol. Hmmm. I am in the import and export of frozen fish. From the fishing vessels which visit our port. So also a little bit in logistics. As far as containers etc are concerned anyway.

We managed the sandwiches and scones, but barely made a dent in the cake. We got given cake boxes to take away what we couldn’t manage!

What do they say about having your cake and eating it?

 

[Kristoff]

That is not good. Maybe you should join me with no coffee and stimulants for two weeks and see if it helps.

Oh no, Carol, you will put Montgomery out of business!

I know. She fooled us all.

 

[Kristoff]

Not that I know of. It's ok, I don't have much of a life, so Im constantly clicking on the room when there's no alerts anyways.

Did you start the new job today, Todd?

 

[Kristoff]

Looking for some recommendations.
Since my daughter is now on summer break, I'm trying to think of some good ways to help entertain her. She has coloring books and does puzzles with me but those aren't going to hold her attention for long. Suggestions?

Geocaching!!!

 

[CarolM]

I know. You told me and that`s why it pleases me so much to sing it for you.

Well I thank you from the bottom of my heart as I really enjoyed it.

Hah ! Snap. Addicted to the CDR ( like all of us ). We should warn new members: Reading too often on TFO and CDR will make you addicted to read more.....

Good idea! Let’s put that into the disclaimer!

We Americans are slow to catch up with the rest of the world it seems, like the imperial instead of metric system

You are so lucky. I would have loved to see him.

I understand. It is sad that he died so young. His death was no accident to my opinion. I think he took his life.
But in his songs he lives forever.

Get her interested in wildlife. What do you have in the garden? What could you encourage?

Plant things to encourage different species of bees... or birds... or butterflies. Give her control of a corner of your garden. Research some plants, get feeders, nest/sleeping boxes, learn with her.

How many species of bird visit your garden? What can be done to increase the range?

What comes by night? Could you get a camera trap? They’re great for getting youngsters out of bed early so they can check for night visitors.

You’ll end up with a youngster who has an interest in science and preserving the planet. My daughter is now a professional ecologist.

@Bambam1989: What Linda said. Grow butterflies out of caterpillars for example?

I did unfortunately not a good fit, thanks for asking though!

 

[Kristoff]

Terrible to be honest, it's not for me.
I have some other options I'm going to look into. I might be being too picky maybe, but I'm highly qualified at what I do, and don't want to settle. I've been urged to go into management, but I'm a very sensitive person and don't know if I could handle firing people and such.

Would you think of a startup?

Oh, can I have a word with you over in corner 3?

 

[CarolM]

We will leave them one night in the wool spiders corner ( if she exist ). Waking up with new knitted underwear will make them stay forever here in the Cold Dark Room.

We will have to tell them enough stories and make them laugh alot with our expert puns.

 

[Bambam1989]

Her own garden. Modeling clay.

She has clay but only wants to work with it if I'm sculpting too. When I mentioned gardening to her she gets this horrified look and says "but then I would have to pull weeds! That's just too much work!"
I think that's why she likes my house plants. No weeding.
Kids...

Lol. He can bring us water with some lemon juice.

Yup. It’s easy to get attached.
