COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

I am a stubborn kind of guy. Plus my attitude is going south. But my wife did get me to the doctors and now on a different antibiotic. Doctor mentioned going in the hospital for care. But I put a stop on that suggestion. Still can't upload a pic. Seems to have started with these pop up ads. Noticed you all have been talking about it but haven't read in detail if anything has been done. I will pop in tomorrow.

Hope we'll find you among popping in among the pop up ads... Fingers crossed for the new antibiotic to work better!

A cute little... dinosaur! Love her!

Ok kids!

We paddled out to Indian Key island on the Gulf. Nice remote island and I came across this cool object!

Here are both sides of it... guess away!

Let the best member win!

Looks sharp. But mistakenly I've read the answer before heading back to the posts I've missed, so I'm out of the game.

Glad to see that you are good. Me...mmmmm What did I do? I worked in my garden, although you would never say so. And cleaned house, as Jarrod's girl friend (or at least I think she is) came around on Sunday, so the house had to look spic and span.

Lol!!!! Amazing what puberty and hormones/testosterone does for ones sense of image [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Sounds like a good days accomplishment. It’s is 2:35am here and I was woken by a storm. Weather service had tornado warnings out but I believe it’s been demoted to severe thunderstorms now. Hopefully back to sleep soon!

Well, he's a he and she's a she...actually my husband is from Alabama. Univ of AL colors are red and white. So he asked if we could call him "Bama". Being a smart wife, I agreed immediately.

I had proposed"Rocket" because he looks like one, but Bama it is (at least out loud...still Rocket in my head)

You can call him, "O, Bama!"

So sorry to hear about the cancer. The destruction of the mattress is annoying.

I have to ask: is Sheldon NOT a tort?..

Sheldon is their 10-1/2 yr old Great Dane.

Looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up on... I was pretty much out of commission today. My sinuses have been driving me crazy, and I've had one heck of a headache that just wont go away (and stay away). I called in sick this morning, went back to sleep, and didn't really wake up until around 2 PM.

I've had the same issue. The Norwegian climate -- or standing on the open deck on the ship -- obviously didn't help with recovery. And it's still a bit chilly here. I really should look into spending the colder season in Italy...

I'd also love a robot me, for the cleaning, and cooking, and ironing - for almost all parts of the acronym W.I.F.E. (washing, ironing, [censored], etc.)

LMAO!!!! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Finished up on the pond for now. Soon I'm going to add rock waterfall.

It looks awesome

 

[Kristoff]

No question about it. Joe was bad enough with the lawnmower, but at least that was big enough to survive [emoji23]

Oh, yeah. I remember his special "love" for the lawnmower, that pesky destroyer of tort food!

Such a beautiful Sunday! We participated the heck out of a one mile fun run in memory of our baby we lost last November. Our friend did the quarter marathon. He is an actual runner. We are actual walkers.
Have a blessed and amazing day!

Well done. Good Job. So sorry to hear about your baby though.

I bought some bird seeds yesterday.

Linda is not the only one who misses you. I know I sure do Every morning, I look at my clock and think fondly of you! I hope you never get too busy for us! [emoji253][emoji253][emoji253]

We all miss Sabine. Especially her singing and warm heart.

My crazy boy Radar
I love his crazy little smile View attachment 268004

He's so cute, and has such smart eyes. A little naughty too, or is it just the look?

 

[Kristoff]

I'd be beside myself if I did!

LOL. You'd get a grip on yourself pretty quickly, I'm sure...

 

[Kristoff]

Good afternoon all.
Hope everyone is having a super Saturday!

Lola has had a freak accident today leaving him with a jagged beak.
He was in his bath and I was holding onto the side of it ready to lift him out. He was sniffing the back of my hand when he made a grab for it and got his beak stuck behind my gold ring.
He shot back into his shell and as he pulled back he broke off a small v shaped piece of his beak,
It didn't bleed at all and I managed to file a sharp piece down using a file attachment on an electric nail care kit I have, which he tolerated pretty well apart from peeing all down me.
He sulked for a while but he is eating OK, - what are the chances of that happening?

is there anything else I should do to make sure he and his beak are OK?

Silly boy. I'm sure he'll be OK though, if it doesn't seem to bother him.

Is today 62 F?

Nah! That’s just short of 17C! We had a couple of freak days last month where it got that warm

 

[Kristoff]

Today's walk was the hardest momo ever had. As you can see in the pics I had snow up my knees and im 6' so imagine for this 6lb dog...He still had a lot of fun!View attachment 268017View attachment 268018View attachment 268019

Must be the smallest Toronto Blue Jays fan! So cute.
That's a lot of snow...

#1 is a calendar contender for next year!

I think some of @maro2bear’s holiday snaps might qualify for the calendar!

Last month I would have had Joe outside no problem. I had adaptations for him (see here https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/outdoor-accommodation-in-a-colder-uk-climate.140866/ ) that meant he would cope with the more normal temperatures now.

Sadly Joe had to be put to sleep almost exactly 2 years ago due to a tumour We miss him dreadfully.

We miss him too. A hug, Linda
