COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

What friends. We don't really know anyone.
Not many parks here either, at least not any I would take my kid(infested with druggies and hobos)

Oh Rap. That does make things very difficult.

 

[Kristoff]

Don't think they do that here..

I’m sure they do. There’s a free app to make sure, and even an association for your state https://www.wsgaonline.org.

I can take her to the zoo. I think I'll buy her some beads and stuff and let her make some jewelry.
I just wish I could think of more stuff..

I'll look more into it. It says there is a group in my area though.

Sounds like a plan.

Will be nice if you can join.

I think you'll find they do. It's a global phenomenon!

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?

Does she make slime?

She would probably love to do that!

Good afternoon all. I have been out with my bestie today.

We went for a walk in the glorious Kent sunshine

@Moozillion - a proper English afternoon tea, Bea... you can’t see the jam and clotted cream for the scones but there was plenty

OHMYGAWD!!!!!! That looks AM.A.ZING!!!!!!!!

 

[Moozillion]

Thank you very much. I am right now heading to Bristol Virginia to the cancer center so that I can get the first dosage of my Stelara. I am really hoping that it starts helping me quickly because if it don't I'm going to end up having to have a surgery anyway. The ulcer beside my stoma has continued to grow and now has a pocket going back under the skin that is approximately 2" wide and an inch long. That does not count the exposed part that was already there. I'm using a steroid and antibiotic cream on it but so far it has showed no signs of healing. Also where it is connected to my stoma there is not a whole lot they can do with the wound care. My leg is still swollen about twice the size of my other leg around the ankle and up the calf due to the erythema and something else they said I had down there. I am wake and get winded easily. It makes it hard to work or do what I need to do around home. Also I was told today that I have an electrical issue in my heart that is showing up on my EKGs. So I will most likely need to go to a Cardiologist to get that looked at. I wonder if it could just be from where I've had all of these issues for so long as well as the anemia. I'm hoping that if I can start getting the rest turned around whatever this electrical issue with my heart is will resolve itself.

In good news the feeling on my right side has come back to about 80 to 90% in my right side.

Good Lord, Dan.
I don't know what to say. I so wish you could get a BREAK!!!!!

 

[Momof4]

She would probably love to do that!

My 12yr old and her friends are obsessed! There was a glue shortage at one time. She just uses YouTube to get different ideas. I’m so over it though!

@CarolM

Fabulous again Sabine !
You're certainly No 1 in the CDR charts!!

 

[Lyn W]

Well, my new set of predictions just went down the drain... :-/

So winning the CDR pool is still just a pipe dream for you Lena?

Get her interested in photography. A class or lesson or two and a thread to share...her pix.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Heres a pix of the Blue Heron i spotted a few times this morning. It flew out and landed on a log floating out in the middle....

Many positive thoughts and best wishes are on their way to you from me Dan.
Hope the new treatment is successful and speedy!

Good day all

Thought I would kick off the Summer Solstice with an early morning paddle. The water was perfectly still which helped create perfect reflections. Plenty of wildlife spotted, osprey, Blue Heron, white tail deer, bunches of turtles, a monster alligator snapping turtle, and many fish jumping.

You mean we show the quote of the person we're responding to? We have to. There are so many posts that it would be confusing if we didn't show what we're responding to.

It would make for some hilarious reading though!

 

[Lyn W]

I love coffe but I need no coffee. I can live without coffee, so it would work perfect: No coffee for you and me, no stress, endless talks about all things and no stress at all. It would help us both.
Sounds wonderful.

Sounds like the perfect medicine for the two of you!!
But until that can be arranged I hope your treatments help relieve your health problems.

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?

Kids love clay or plasticine to make models with.
Does she have Lego or similar?
What about den building?
My niece used to love the hand and foot painting we did outside on old rolls of wallpaper.
Cut and paste activities - catalogues are ideal for that.
Make a diorama in a shoebox - there are lots of ideas for that if you Google.
Pebble painting.
Memory/pairs games
Nature treasure hunt - there are some good ones online.
Hope that helps.
