COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Tidgy however is that smart.
I’m surprised we didn’t see her at the World Chess Championship in London a couple of years ago
View attachment 305427

She was there.
Having lost in the semi final, she was on commentary.
I actually played Carlsen on line.
And lost.
But my friend Gary Kasparov said I'd done well and he couldn't have done any better.
Which was nice.

Aha! That was only 9! 4 and 9 are the same!
So type a tenth and touch a tortie's toe for your trophy!

See... I'm not the only English police around here. ?

 

[Pastel Tortie]

but why would you even WANT to find Monterey Jack ? So many local cheeses there....and of course French cheeses right across the border. I lived there for about five years....i don't think i ever had US-made cheese During that timeframe. But Wensleydale ! Yes!

Because you can't find a decent taco in the UK if your life depended on it. And it's easier to get taco seasoning through customs than cheese.

Proper tacos include Monterey Jack.

My all time favorite is Brick cheese. Don’t ask for it south of the mason-Dixie line as you will get an odd look similar to the one you get for asking for pop

What do they call brick cheese?

 

[Cathie G]

They do, you know
I've been inside half a dozen times

I think it's an interesting question of who actually built them.

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G. Or something like that. I haven't activated it yet. New operating system for me. So I want to make sure I'm going to be able to retrieve or copy somewhere else what's on my old phone first.

After you’ve used it for a while please tell me what you think. I’ve never been a huge fan of my iPhone and this constant frustration with the AutoCorrect is getting on my nerves.

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Always be humble and kind. And there’s some sort a song about that, right? I will never post anything cantankerous again on the forum.

Don't you dare stop now...

 

[Cathie G]

And it's only the 5th of September! ?

Remember, remember, the fifth of September... ?

Somehow that reminds me of the ides of march...

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Oh thank God. I was starting to hate myself. I actually told Chubbs that I wanted him to help me get out of the mission.

You called @Chubbs the tegu for rescue...? ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

My dear I am the doctor.

No you're not.
You are a doctor.
I have a couple of those qualifications and I think it's best I don't treat people.
Once, on a flight to Saudi. Arabia, someone had a heart attack on the plane and the stewardess cried out the famous, " Is there a doctor on the plane?"
My mate said, "Adam's a doctor."
Great.
Luckily, there was an actual Human sort of doctor there, so I was saved from killing someone.
Though I do have basic medical training from The Boy Scouts and a supermarket chain.

 

[Pastel Tortie]

aaaagh. Ok. I tried. But posting BAD photos was a hard mission. Easily skunked out.

@Maro2Bear I can only imagine... Asking you to post bad pictures is like asking me to post bad poetry. Although your pictures are FAR better than my poetry. ?

I like LG the best. I had a k8 v. It was fun because I had a shortcut to the CDR on my home screen. Now I have a Moto e6. So far I've not been able to figure out how to do the shortcut. I like it too but not as much as LG. Both are android.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

@Tidgy's Dad Proper cheese in the U.S.? You should have seen what it took to track down Monterey Jack in the UK!

I'm not surprised.
Monterey Jack is a bit dull and a bit too sweet.
Can't get it in Morocco.
Nor most other cheeses.

Looking for those ancient Egyptian dinosaur mummies?

 

[Cathie G]

You called @Chubbs the tegu for rescue...? ?

Oh my garsh...well...

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hummm you mentioned “new phone” twice. And the word “phone” four times. Do we have an agent? I know you had a mission but making me wonder if you have another ?

No one gets two Missions.
When you're Terminated, you're done.

You called @Chubbs the tegu for rescue...? ?

That’s what I thought! Chubbs would be more likely to push you off a cliff.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Very understandable to forget in this room. There are reams and reams of pages to go through. It is interesting but can be quite tiring.

Ha!
Yes.

 

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

Well everyone I’m back from fishing early. We actually didn’t get to go at all, the kids were disappointed. We discovered a gas leak in the car and had to head home. Oh well, the girls decided we’re just going to watch a movie and eat ice cream. Hopefully we’ll be able to go next week when the car’s fixed.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm sure it wasn't hard to catch. Did you feel like you were in the movie "The Birds"...

No.
The seagull bit the captain when he unhooked it and he was very cruel to me.
The seagull bled.
The captain bled.
I caught a deep sea baby whiting whose eyes popped out cos I brought it up too quickly.
I never went fishing again.
