COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

I need Adam back because he is my friend and I miss him every time he goes away.

Who else is so knowledgeable on just about everything and manages to correct and inform us with so much humour?

Adam, the only substitute in the CDR is the leprechaun one-legged pirate substitute ... and you have safely shut him in a jellyfish tank. There isn’t, and never will be, an Adam substitute.

We all have faults Adam, even you, but it doesn’t stop us all being part of the CDR community of support and friendship.

The bottom line is that the CDR was created by you Adam and, while our friendship keeps it going in your absence, it isn’t the same as when you are here.

And the sooner you’re back then the easier it will be to catch up

AND Leeds and Luton both won yesterday so we both need to celebrate

We found one of these on the garden wall last night - it was about an inch long

It makes a change from the many geckos, crickets and praying mantis that we normally see at night

Oh, MY!!! [emoji33]

I really like all the CDR'ers, but I'll be honest, when Adam isn't here I just skim to see if he's come back and if not, I move on to the next thread. (don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. . . it's just that, for me, the attraction of the CDR is Adam.)

Adam: In my opinion, you are clever, intelligent, interesting and I wish I lived closer so I could meet you in person. We all need a break every now and then, but please come back soon!

I would dearly love to have Adam back with us.
The CDR is a truly unique and absolutely delightful place, thanks entirely to his fertile, imaginative mind, and wonderful humor. It is his playfulness, creativity and wit that draws and inspires me, and I know draws and inspires a wonderfully zany and caring group of "Roomies" as regulars.
But it is his kindness, gentleness and care for others that makes this a SAFE place to be zany.
I love the one-of-a-kind magical world that is Adam's (and joyfully, our) Cold Dark Room.
Yes, we manage without him when he's off on "walkabout," but it takes on a very special vibrancy when he's with us and guiding our wonderful "ship of fools!"

Sunset just keeps getting better!

I miss Adam. He has such an interesting, clever personality. He is kind and understanding but also funny. I am so glad that he created the CDR, being able to talk to people from around the world is truly amazing! But there is always the feeling that something is missing whenever he is away. I love seeing images of his fossils.
We would also be overtaken by the scheming meerkats without Adam.

@ all members of the CDR
At first: I wish you all a nice, sunny and warm Sunday.

I have a wish: Please write down why you want Adam to come back. He needs us now for several reasons I can`t speak about.
When you want him to come back, be honest and write it for him down. Thinking about substitutes is not very helpful.
Thank you all.

Sabine

Hey Sabine, Great idea!
@tidgysdad, I want you to come back because I had to scroll two pages down on the forum to even find the cold dark room!!! There is no humor.. no sarcasm.... no light in the dark... it is truly a cold dark place :-(

I was the same - we moved three times before I was 11 then my mother dug her heels in and we stayed put while I was at grammar school.

Just to add to the confusion, the school system was changed in one area while we were there meaning that I managed to attend 5 different primary schools: All-through Primary at one location; Infant, Junior then Middle at second, Junior for just two out of three terms at third.

That sounds very confusing.

 

[CarolM]

Yes....but i have a ton. Have one where a Norwegian (i think) tall ship was visiting the port of Baltimore. We paddled out to see it...but aldo met up with Baltimores Tall Ship the Pride of Baltimore... i was out near as it fired off it’s cannons. All captured on photo. And one on the Potomoc River where the Lincoln Memorisl and the Washington Monument are in background with me right in foreground.

Sounds spectacular.
