COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Thank you, however, your picture is missing the actual sun that I wished I had taken a picture of.

True. Sorry, cannot help you there.
Is this one better?

We had a really stormy rainy day here a few days back. Wifey and I decided to collaborate on a new tea light down on our very dusty lathe.

Love love it.

Thank you all for the good thoughts about Dad! Surgery went great.. lasted almost the whole 5 hours so my nerves were shot but there were no complications and he’s moved from recovery to a room now. His surgeon said that he is now CANCER FREE! I am so relieved and grateful for life in general... I have no idea yet when we will get to go home but I won’t complain no matter what;-). Tonight, Cinder and I are celebrating with Prosciutto, Mozzarello, and Roscato ?

Yes. That is absolutely awesome news.

Oh right. hmmfff you only give me points when you are taking them away. ?

 

[CarolM]

Same here.
They love wifey and have an internet page recommending her as a holiday location.
But they usually leave me alone. Except in Fuengirola, Spain for some reason.

I feel for wifey. Please give her my condolences.

 

[CarolM]

It's a bit of half baked one - if it doesn't work I'll have to jacket in.

Missed your puns.

True. Sorry, cannot help you there.

much better!

Good night to all! I drove home this morning so I could pick my son up from school.. This was the longest stint that he’s ever been without me and he was done! I stopped at the house long enough to tend all my critters ( despite my girls having done so) and pack him a bag . We have made it back to the hotel and snuggled in with our iPads... Dad seems to be breezing through his exercises and we may make it home for good by Sunday...

Yayyyy.

 

[CarolM]

Right.
I think we can safely say that Maggie and I aren't going to win the Angelic Roommate of the Year Award.
But who is?
Which one of you deserves the honour?
I guess you(ll all be too polite to say, so who would you nominate?
Who is the Angel in the Cold Dark Room?
I nominate the Wool Spider (if she exists)

I nominate Montgomery.

THIS is what I was trying to explain the other day about seeing the 'actual' sun:

That is stunning.

 

[CarolM]

Sorry I haven’t been around. Last couple days I’ve been sleeping and trying to catch up on cleaning. I have testing booked In Wednesday to find out if I’m in clear. So fingers crossed ?. Them swabs are nasty. But has to be done. And I so hope it’s gone.
hope your all doing well. And taking it easy My CD-R fam ?

I am so happy you are doing better. But don't push too hard or you will set yourself back.

 

[CarolM]

That’s just Un-American!!!!

Coffe is not supposed to be cold and tea is not supposed to be hot ! ?

Whaha. I love iced coffee. But we like to mix cold coffee with vanilla ice cream.

 

[CarolM]

I'd already failed dismally by 10 am - had a blazing row with the nasty neighbours!

Those damn neighbours.

That sounds so good!

 

[CarolM]

Good evening all. It's not been a good day here weather wise - wet and very windy but nothing as bad as hurricanes. I hope anyone affected by those expected in the US stay safe....it sounds very scary!

I've had a bad day today - big row with nasty neighbours whose dumping of rubbish in the lane at the end of my garden has escalated lately and then today they cleared a space to permanently leave one of their 5 large bins there too. It may sound petty but it was the last straw when I saw that. To cut a long story short I ended it by telling them if it was left there I would ring the council and the housing association who own their house. She told me I was being pathetic - but the bin was moved!!!
I expect they'll get their own back somehow eventually.
Hope you've all had or are having a better day!

I am so sorry. I will send " make bad people into good people vibes" over to them.

 

[CarolM]

Sadly I don't have the space in my tiny garden to be as generous with. There is a long history of problems with my neighbours and it's become so bad recently that I'm looking to move, not something I want to do as this is my old family home, but it's too much of a strain wondering what they are going to do next.

That is just so wrong. Your neighbours should be the ones who have to move

 

[CarolM]

One of my other neighbours who doesn't like the husband suggested I get some of the tough lads in the area to give the him a good beating. I thought he was joking but he said he knew some who would do it for the price of a good night out in the pub!! Pretty reasonable I think!
If you don't hear from me for a while I'll be in Cardiff Prison!!?

Hmm. Not a bad idea.

 

[CarolM]

Thanks Cathy and you're right on all counts. I hate confrontation but sometimes you've got to make your feelings known otherwise you get walked all over. My neighbours usually do stuff when I'm out, and even though I get annoyed when I see what they've done I wouldn't go and knock on their door about it - but as I was home today and saw what they were up to, I had to say something - took all my courage though!!!

Good for you.

 

[Cathie G]

No, I said to be aggressive, and angry (crazy ) act. When people think you're too angry or crazy they back off. Frankly, I'm not crazy at all. But the life I led taught me how to act in a given situation. Pissed off yes, but not crazy, sometimes crazy acting.

When you're as little as me it pays to be sneaky.??

 

[Cathie G]

Whaha. I love iced coffee. But we like to mix cold coffee with vanilla ice cream.

Hmm?... but I like mine no cream, extra ice, and a shot maybe 2 of liquid vanilla sugar so far?
