COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Hi my name is Olivier but english people call me « Oh Lee Vee Hey »

Does your name get shortened to Oli?
In the UK males called Oliver or Olivier end up being called Oli.
Females called Olive or Olivia (sometime spelt Olivier ) are often shortened to Liv.

So how do you say it???

lol they just put a pause between o and l and the rest sound like « leviate » and with a strong english accent it sounds very funny. But my friend james just ended up calling me « holy » haha, I don’t mind english people calling me just oliver, it sounds better...

British housing/urban developers don’t want nesting birds? I guess the NIMBY effect is in motion.

One year I read in a 100 year old book that bag worms are a sign of a really bad winter coming. That summer and fall our yard was downright disgusting from all the bagworms that had fallen on our grass. The only thing that kept me sane was what I had read in that book. It was a bad year for bag worms! You would have had to cut down all of the trees.Winter came and it was a really bad winter. I watched my wild birds eat everything including the cobwebby bags from my kitchen window. The moral of this story is: don't feed my little birds plastic nets.

Yes my friend always call me simply « oli »

Yes thank you I had already seen this article, I do notice a difference from when I was a kid, winters are different, such changes are supposed to take thousands of years to occur not a couple years, Inuits from northern Qc are the first to get a climate change slap in the face as their life depends way more on the weather than us (animals too). And some people still deny this climate change is a man made anomaly...Who’s Lena?? Kristoff?

You will love them.

 

[Reptilony]

You will love them.

What? Love who?

Lena and Kristoff. I know. Everyone is chatting so it's like what?!!!

ah! Ok! It’s no wonder there’s 138 188 pages in this cold and dark place, btw where is the lord of this room, a named...Tidgy...Tidgy’s dad...

I do worry about what will happen to Lola if anything happens to me.....especially since my accident.
That made me realise you could just be plodding along living your life until something out of the blue happens.
None of my family or friends are interested and just don't get why I would want a pet that my life seems to revolve around!
I may try saying that I will leave all my money in trust to whoever looks after him with conditions specified about his care so that they can't neglect him.

Me too. I've never lost that worry from the day I bought him. Anything positive he does makes me maybe a good tortoise mom. Then I start worrying again until I see the next positive thing. 12 years of it. I'm so glad I have my little Saphire. He makes me think.

Ok. I'll try soon. I don't care if I sound like a hillbilly toad because I like them. Usually I have to download it though because of my phone's programs. Miss bee 62 inspired me to find my utube on my laptop last night. I'm working on it.

Yayyyy.

Daylight robbery!
What does the levy cover? Things like maintenance and repairs?

Not sure. They instituted it when we all had to save water due to the drought. They found that because people were not using as much water they were not making as much money as before and so added the levy to the account. They have increased the amount of water we are allowed to use but have left the levy as well. And now because of all the power problems they are sending out flyers telling people that they have to register their solar power. But that is just the first step, because this is the way they operate. First you have to register and then before you know it, you will have to pay a levy. [emoji85] [emoji35]

 

[CarolM]

Time to move!!!

I know. Totally!!

 

[CarolM]

A little inspiration goes along way... none of us will judge. And no one could sound less refined than me. I am not embarrassed and would never mind sharing anything with y’all but I dont want to be on utube where anyone can see or hear.. I will lol forward to listening

You can make your video so that only those you share the link with can see it. That is what I have done.

 

[JoesMum]

I received our water and rates bill and I see that the municipality has included a flyer telling us that we must register any solar power we have. Next thing we know they will be charging us a levy like they do with the water now. They charge us a water levy on top of what they charge us for the water itself. [emoji33] [emoji85]

Why aren’t I surprised [emoji849]

My Daughter has a French Canadian friend who went to the World Cup (football = soccer) in France. He found it annoying that he would start a conversation in French and the locals would switch to English believing him to not be a native French speaker.

There must be an accent to Canadian French that the French French don’t recognise!

My spoken French is reasonable having worked in France when I was a student. However, I must have picked up the local accent (Ardêche) which gets me into trouble now. I start a conversation and people assume that I am more fluent than I am [emoji849]

You need to get my Ecologist daughter on this one. There is a lot of mis-reporting surrounding the netting. If it is done properly then it is fine and it stops birds nesting where trees are about to be cut down to allow building work.

Occasionally it gets done far too soon - well ahead of the proposed development- and birds could have nested and gone by the time the trees are removed.

All the work should have been planned and supervised by people like her who are usually on the side of the wildlife not the builder. And in case you were wondering, the builder has to use another company’s ecologists not their own.
