COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

I just had a lovely email from someone who I started helping through TFO last year.

She lives about 20 miles from me and had adopted 2 mature male Greeks that had been sharing an elderly neighbour’s garden peaceably for decades.

The move to her garden started open warfare and she had to separate them.

Out of hibernation this spring they went back in the garden and both were attacking each other, or rather ramming the solid fence dividing their homes in the exact spot the other was [emoji849]

The story has a happy ending. Her son has agreed to take on one of them, so they now have a garden each 100 miles away from each other. That should be far enough [emoji1]

It is nice to hear when things work out [emoji4]

That is nice news to hear.

I added a caption to my version of catching unwanted bugs. It works just don't lift the cover until you're outside. I added the caption to get my brothers goat...View attachment 271262

I really liked Lucifer. It bummed me out when they decided to move it to Netflix. I don't have that and don't know if my TV accepts internet.

Oh no. Netflix has the 4th season coming out on the 8th of May. Maybe you could get someone to download it for you?

Hello everyone, I haven't been on TFO much the last 3 or 4 days. Just wanted to let you know. I will be going to the hospital tomorrow to have my IVC filter taken out. The blood clot in my left leg has dissipated and the clot in the right leg is still there. It is considered chronic which means it is old. It will wear away slowly but shouldn't breakoff completely at once. Out patient so I will be home tomorrow.
I need to catch up with what you all have been up to. Maybe Saturday.

Good luck Ray. I hope all goes or went well.

I found one

Yayyyy. How is Chomper doing?

Amazing how the specialists disappear when you need them... but I will keep my fingers crossed that you don’t actually need them for the next two weeks! I’m so glad about Clark’s improvement .. surely when it rains, it pours !!!

Going on that theory re the rain then am I supposed to wait for the third disaster? I don't think I can take anymore.

I couldn't see what he was eating. What do you feed him?

 

[CarolM]

Your tv probably does accept internet it would have to be an antique to not accept. You just have to have the right wire attached.if the tv is older and you have the original tv remote. There's a way.

Actually seeing Cathie's response I realise what you were saying. Our TV does not want to connect to the internet, so we bought media player that does and we play Netflix through that. It works like a bomb. [emoji23]

My son is 41 and might remember Boy George. Sooo...he was different. Early or mid 80s.

I am 46 and I do remember Boy George.

 

[CarolM]

They must enjoy playing with your son or you'd have a bunch of tailess anoles. Here is a picture of my wild toad from last year that decided to back to me.View attachment 271270

I would say cute, but they are ugly things. So I will just say......SWEEEET!![emoji6] [emoji3]

 

[CarolM]

So I can just go to a place like Best Buy and ask them for the cord to attach to my TV to get internet?

I would ask them how to get your TV to be able to connect to the internet. They would then be able to give you the best way to do it.

Nice deck on our rental. Provides a nice view of the area..


Everyone has to have heard “ Coma Coma Coma Chameleon” song!

Looks beautiful!

 

[CarolM]

Any clue what we are up to this weekend?

I’m not sure it’s an age thing.. I have a love for plenty of music that was before my time.. I’m not sure how I missed this guy.. maybe a culture thing?? Still, I’m pretty diverse...‍[emoji3601]

I gotta say...I don't think you missed anything worthwhile.

 

[Kristoff]

Sounds fun. Even with the episode.

An unforgettable experience, for sure!

 

[Kristoff]

No, I'm not the admin on the tortoise forum's facebook group. Josh is. I've cancelled all my facebook accounts. Was having too much trouble figuring it all out.

Good for you, let's face it! (I have to have Facebook for the grandparents to see stories of their grandchild. Plus, I'm a visual person. I remember people best if I see their profile photo and name in writing. Otherwise, I blank out sometimes...)

 

[Kristoff]

Does anyone have other ideas for fencing that would be at least 3-4’ tall and about 70x90’?
I’m trying to avoid chain link.
If I did use chain link how do you attach wood boards to it?

Fencing?

 

[CarolM]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am going to share some wisdom with you, enjoy:

 

[Kristoff]

I've solved the problem. I deactivated my account. Trouble is, I have three accounts, so I deactivated one of them, but in order to not have it automatically reactivate itself I must stay off facebook for 48 hours. Then I can go in and deactivate one of the two left, wait 48 hours then deactivate the last one. Such a headache.

And you can always come back...
