COLD DARK ROOM

[Maro2Bear]

@Ben02 couldn't find your post about your first day of college.
But good luck my friend. Your TFO family will be making sure your doing your homework!

Ben’s first day of College i think is tomorrow. Good luck!

Good evening and almost good morning to you all.
I'm just about to go off to bed although I rarely sleep well before going back to work - maybe a large brandy would help.
I'm as organised as I could be for work. Lola's breakfast, elevenses and lunch is ready in the fridge.
It will be hard leaving him after spending most of the year so far with him.
Anyway have a good Monday and I'll see you soon.
Nos Da

You better elaborate a bit on your “elevenses” so the rest of our CDR knows what you’ve prepped! Enjoy

I agree but like I was telling Yvonne. Since I injured my stump leg. I have been coasting after the operation. Time to get serious about my recovery again.

I'm just wondering do you have to evacuate? I know you, rose, and Opo are recovering and are survivors. It takes awhile. I'm praying for all my friends in Florida, the Carolinas, etc...I'm worried about my lifelong friend in North Carolina a lot.

That's just a pipe dream.

Look out for the messages in the web!!

Like what? “Some pig?” Only my mom is allowed to call me that!

I'm dreaming about a drain pipe that will work with the new washer...

I love how roommates’ pipe dreams are flooding the CDR right now.

Good night, roommates, and almost good morning across the pond. [emoji6] Since I’m temporarily single, I’m having an exciting evening planned. With a book. Not see you all tomorrow.
P.S. It’s Labour(-free) Day for folks in North America, so there might be fewer complaints about Monday this time.

Today was the first day of dove season. Those crazy hunters were out there before the sun had even cleared the horizon. I'll never understand the thrill of shooting such a mild and tiny bird.

Ha. I had a french drain installed today and the guy didn’t stay straight when setting the drain in the alley. Bisected my pvc drainpipe for my sump pump so I get to add installing 1 1/2” pvc and a flex coupling to laying conduit in the other trench they cut. Papa gonna get real POWER in the shed!

Hey all! Hope everyone had a good saturday. Im drunk as a goldfish in a tequila fiilled fish bowl

And yet your spelling is so nice. Lol. This is my catching up point

My husband has worked over there for the past 7 years of our life and a couple months ago he was laid off. I have always said everything happens for a reason.. he got called up for the same position not 40 miles from our house a couple of weeks ago.. he still can’t come home for his two weeks but he’s “accessible”... it’s a totally new concept and we love it. Seeing this, how can you doubt that God had a plan? We know many who are close to this incident and I pray for all those there involved
And I hope they have faith.

And......kind of getting so tired of “politicians” who are so “sympathetic” for about an hour (or less) and then move along without any ACTION. Now, in contrast, look how quickly the PM in New Zealand took action following the mass shooting there. She represents and looks out for her citizens. Here, politicians in general seem to look out for themselves & their personal bank accounts.

Triple like

I believe Heather wanted to see some black squirrels. Not sure if this will work, because it’s so dark in the CDR...

I should start carrying my camera around to take higher quality pictures.

Now that is cool! I have saw maybe a couple in my life but none that BLACK!! Beautiful. Thanks for remembering Lena[emoji8]

 

[EllieMay]

First day of college tomorrow

You’ll do great but just for courtesy sake, good luck [emoji256] !

Ouch! Just whacked my thumb while splitting wood! Hurts like all get out, lots of blood. But, I’m sure it’s all good.

How did it happen? Was splitting wood with my handy wood splitter. I had put a piece in to split.....it was under stress and then pushed back on my thumb knuckle. Lots of blood n pain. I’m sure it will be fine in time.

Ouch! I’m so sorry

Doesn't look like we need to evacuate. As long as Dorian makes it turn towards the north. Should have a good idea tomorrow morning. We have a shelter within walking distance. So if Dorian doesn't make the turn north. We will get to the shelter well before it hits us.

What are your plans for Opo, if you have to go to the shelter? Is it pet friendly?

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Florida has been dealing with animal issues during emergencies and disasters since the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew (1992). Lessons learned in Florida shaped how emergency management handles animal issues during emergencies, across the country.

We're pretty much at that point in Florida where you can show up at a public emergency shelter with a pet turtle or tortoise, and they should be able to deal with it. They may not be USED to dealing with our shelled friends, but they can get something figured out and worked out, in short order.
