COLD DARK ROOM

[EllieMay]

Happy Sunday roommates
[emoji851]
The house painting starts tomorrow.
I spent the morning rearranging Shelly and Jay’s enclosures so they wouldn’t escape or come up against the house while the painters are here.
Took all the plants and signs down.
I can’t wait for the new color goes on!
It will look so much better [emoji851]

A fresh look makes all the difference ... can’t wait to see

Hello all, I slept from 2AM till 1 this afternoon. Never woke up! That is the first time since I came out of my coma in February 2016. Usually it is 3 hrs of sleep at best. Now I just need to get the hrs correct. Thanks to the wife for taking care of Opo.
Starting to feel better physically and mentally. Have 2 grandsons coming Tuesday. Ages 4 and 6 cant wait..
Haven't been keeping up on CDR so I hope everyone has healed from their situations and there have been no other issues.

Ok this was very weird to do. But I did promise to do a voice post. So here is a very short one.

Luv luv luv it! Hubby and I went to bora bora on our honeymoon and while there, I met a woman from Africa. She had a beautiful accent like yours and we conversed a good bit the whole week I was there
I am making no such promises about a voice post. I’m not proficient on utube.. and of course, I love the subject of your post))

Keep an eye on Craigslist. Aquariums come up fairly regularly.

I will. But I've never been on Craigslist so it will be another experience.

Actually we have an external canister filter - a Fluval 306 (? possibly... I can’t be bothered to go check... definitely 300 series) You can see the pipes on the right where the water is circulated in and out.

The internal thing is a UV filter. It help to keep the algae down. And the flow through it helps to keep the water moving and better oxygenated.

The tank was suppled with a 200 series filter, but that was nowhere near powerful enough. The 300 is better.

I'm kinda considering live plants also but don't know if that would be too much knowledge for me to handle at first.

Good to hear you have managed to get some decent sleep Ray. Your grandchildren will soon have you feeling young at heart and no doubt will also be wearing you out, so I predict more sleep for you in the near future!! If we don't see you before they arrive have a great time with them!!!

An excellent version Sabine!
You are still in fine voice!
I haven't heard that song in ages!
I love those acoustic tracks!

Thank you very much Lyn.

 

[Bee62]

Oh Sabine!!! What a perfect tune to pick. I love credence Clearwater. It’s been a wrenching a week and I couldn’t help but sing along with you.. really brightened my mood! Great to hear your music again[emoji171][emoji171][emoji171]

I am glad that my singing brighten up your mood.

 

[Bee62]

I sang too.

 

[Bee62]

Loved that!

Thank you !

 

[Bee62]

Just wonderful! I've been missing your songs! And by the way, thst's a really pretty sweater you're wearing!

Thank you Karen.

 

[CarolM]

You sound just as I imagined Carol, and a very nice voice you have too.

Lol. Thank you.

Sleep is the best way to heal. So glad that you are feeling much better.

We love hearing you sing Sabine [emoji177]

Thank you. Who would have thought. I of course love other countries accents more so than ours. Go figure.

Live plants are always good as they can be food as well.

 

[Yvonne G]

Was that Maggie, Yvonne?
I think she disappeared from TFO when I was AWOL last year.
How is she?

She's doing ok. Having a lot of health problems in her old age. She doesn't have anyone to help her with her computer and can't afford to send it out, so she's offline - not by choice.

Wow! Mr. Van Winkle!!! Good to have you back. You musta' needed it or it wouldn't have happened.

 

[Bee62]

OMG, Sabine! That gave me goose bumps. Nice.

Thank you Yvonne. Do you know songs of the Platters like "Smoke gets in your eyes" and "The great pretender" ?

That's a shame on both counts. I used to enjoy reading her posts about Bob, and I expect she misses TFO too.
She won't remember me at all, but when you speak to her next please tell her someone was asking after her and that she is missed and thought about.
