COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

And you do realize that anyone can see the CDR, right? And click the links. It might be dark in here, but the walls are made of glass!

I realise that. But posting this way means that anyone who happens to be on YouTube can’t find it. It’s not total privacy, but casual observers have to go a pretty obscure route to find the videos. We say a lot in the CDR.

Wherever you post on the internet, no matter how secure your privacy settings, things are not private. You cannot guarantee what someone else will do with what you have posted.

For that reason, turn off location services for photos and videos that you take on your camera or smart phone so your home address is not obvious. And don’t post anything, anywhere that you are not comfortable with... not even in the CDR.

I was an eSafety trainer at schools for many years.

We had some wonderful rain. [emoji3] [emoji3]

Yay!!! Rain is always good news for you

 

[JoesMum]

I did not get much walking done.[emoji17]

Well you know what happened to me when I tried walk on Wednesday! [emoji23]

 

[Reptilony]

I better not say anything anymore as it is political. But I have zero confidence in our government and their uncorruptibility.

It’s the same with “rebates” provided by goverments when one purchases electric vehicles. When the rebstes were put into place, sales of these cars dramatically increased. Once the rebstes were cut, sales went down. No incentives, no purchases.

Just like single-stream recycling...no incentive here at least to recycle. Very sad situation.

I saw that episode - they gave the male a name which makes it harder to watch!
I was hoping he would get out alive and phew....he did!!
Hope he was as lucky with his next female.

Right!!! [emoji23]. Now after reading Mark’s post, I’m wondering if they have nothing but cannibalizing females for babies??? [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]

I have it sorted. I will make chocolate tortoises and stick the gang in amongst the chocolates. They will all look like chocolate. I will even paint their shells with chocolate so that they look even more like the actual chocolate tortoises.

Ok... well you won’t be able to call on me to help.. I’m sorry to say that if your disguise is authentic and successful, they may not be safe in my company... CHOCOLATE IS MY KRYPTONITE!!!

Only finished catching up now. This morning we had some really awesome rain. I am hoping that this winter we can get loads and loads of rain. In fact I want the rain that Mark got during his winter. On the advice of Dan, I want to move the gang outside so that they can start getting used to grazing etc. But because it is going into winter I will need to make sure that I build a few heated houses. Hopefully it won't be too expensive or hard to do. I still need to get it past Hubby that I will be spending more money on the torts. [emoji85]

Well you should have time to get it all sorted and planned .. you wouldn’t actually make the move official until spring right?? I don’t thing your heated boxes will be that complicated... especially since they don’t have to be so big [emoji16]

 

[EllieMay]

Lmbo!! Can’t say as I blame you!!!

Nice!

 

[CarolM]

You can

Lol, I will call you Oli. I would not like to be called a salad either. In fact when I was young and started working I would tell people over the phone that my name was Carolyn and I was called everything under the sun, even Carrot, and it annoyed me so much that I have now been telling people that my name is Carol ever since.

 

[CarolM]

Completely.

You see walking is unhealthy and detrimental to your health.

And they all say, that they are concerned with the environment. But I bet you, if they made more money with things that are better for the environment they would encourage it far more and our environment would be in a much better state.

I hope so. But I am not a carpenter and don't really have decent tools. But I figure how hard can it be? Just cut the wood into the right sizes, put the insulation panels inside and then insert smaller size panels of wood so that the insulation is in between the wood. Then screw or nail some hinges to a top cover and add plastic flaps by the door. The only problem would be the heating of the box. I looked at the oil heaters and need to see if they need electricity. As I don't want their heat to go if the electricity is out.

I’m back and I’m on crutches. A&E think, after x ray and poking me a lot to see what hurts, it’s soft tissue injury with a query on a Baker’s Cyst as there is a lot of fluid in my knee. My calf is quite swollen too. Ice, painkillers, exercises and a Physio Review at A&E a week today. [emoji20]

I am sorry to haer that. A lot of massive electronic hugs from me for you and all best wishes for a speedey recovery.
