COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I just texted him
Is INTERNATIONAL TEXTING even a thing?

Mine just comes up as 'text.'
New thing.
I dunno.

Hello Ed, I`ve send John an e-mail.- no response. I think he will have no contact with us but I don`t know why.
It is nice to see you here in the dark. I hope we don`t loose contact with you too.

He has issues with his own demons....As we all do.
I just hope he comes back to us when he can.

I'll send you a text.
Let me know if you get it.

On the upside, all the food posts have made me hungry.. my new child is about 30 min away so I’m going to fix some chicken Alfredo for lunch and after he gets settled in, we are off to my daughters teenage friend’s bday party... no down time here. Also bought me some flower seeds to throw in my tortoise garden! Thanks y’all for letting me lean this morning!!

Busy, busy!
Have fun.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Bad excuse ! I was waiting for you but you submerged somewhere in the dark.
Not nice.

I got bitten by a camel.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I am making both these now and realise I left the garlic out of the Ratatouille recipe [emoji33]

You need a couple of cloves of crushed garlic in the mix!

Seven cloves for the French version!
Yuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John's demons are real nasties, I feel.
Such a shame, I will forever treasure our holiday in Spain.
Three weeks today and I meet up with another Roommate!

Yup, got it and have texted you back.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Yup, got it and have texted you back.

That answers the million dollar question.
In reality, it likely cost a little less.

International texts here are effectively free.

Have you spoken to him? I'm wondering how he feels about this new situation.

Yes Mam.. he was asking to come to me. He knows I took his brother some years back. His only other option was his Grandmother who really isn’t physically able to handle a teen ager. he spent the summer in a boys home and has done time in juvenile prison.. I was reluctant but I can’t help but feel that he does not have a bad heart, he just hasn’t ever known any different. Either way, we are off on a new journey. He says that he is going to take this opportunity to better himself.

I'll let you know on my next phone bill.
Its certainly fast and more effective than logging back on to the forum.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

The simple phone message I left for John last time was like $17.
I think I spoke for about two minutes.

That's mad.
At the end of every three months I've still got about 100 Dollars of free international calls i have to ring people to use up.
And it costs me about $20 for those three months bit everything is multiplied because of special offers.
All my calls, local and international, all my texts and more bonuses than I can use.

Things aren't as cheap here.
I have unlimited texts, data and phone.
It's about $80 a month. Give or take. And no international calling at all.
But excellent service and coverage everywhere that I travel.
However I rarely leave the U.S.

That's not too bad, apart from the international bit.
Things are much cheaper here, but of course we earn far less.

Are you continuing with the osteopath you liked? How’s that going?

Yes I am. It is going extremely well. I hardly ever have back pain in my lower back now. But it is at the top of my back. So a work in progress still. I haven't taken any pain killers or sleeping tablets for a while either. Nor do i drink coffee or normal tea only decaf drinks. So the only things left are now the upper back tensing / tension and the e-cigarette that I am working on eliminating. I am so impressed with this guy as he has done for me what so many others have not been able to do for a very long time. [emoji16]
