COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Good morning/afternoon all.
I missed a day yesterday but caught up with you now.
Great to see Ray back I've been wondering where he was.
A grey dampish day here again but I'm happy with that and hope all of you suffering with the high temps manage to stay cool.
Hope everyone has a good Saturday.

I have been enjoying my butterfly bushes in the front yard-So Many Bees, Tiger Swallowtails, Monarchs and pretend Hummingbirds (Moths)

Our schools don't open until the beginning of Sept.
When I was teaching I used to despair at how the holidays seemed to fly by, but now I'm retired and have feral kids running around the area, I can't wait for them to be over!!?
Hope Jayden settles into his new class well.

Feral kids??? THATS PRICELESS!!!!!!???

 

[EllieMay]

Good morning and Happy Saturday to you all All my family sleeps while I sit with my coffee and the dogs on the porch. Not as hot this morning!!

 

[Ray--Opo]

Good to hear from you Ray and I know what you mean
Some people leave it far too late to seek help when their common sense should have kicked in much sooner.
I often wonder what happened to that sully who ate a coke can . Everyone told the owner she needed a vet because there could be internal damage but she said she couldn't take him and was just going to wait it out. I hope the poor tort is OK but I don't think she posted any updates so I think that's a bad sign.
Don't stay away from the CDR too long and take care.

Thanks Lyn, I seem to be getting a better attitude lately. Sometimes even the little things are to overwhelming for me. So I need to eliminate everything till my mind resets.

Best word to describe them!
Where's the Kiddie Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when you need him?!

Sounds perfect - a lovely quiet start to the day.

Please everyone say a prayer for a little boy named Dalton that's affiliated with my family. He's only 3 years old and just got attacked by bald face hornets in their yard. He's in the er with family and my family. What's really weird is my son and I were studying them because my son had seen them there just today. My son said the little fella got about 25 stings.????

I was picking rose of sharon blooms for Mary Knobbins breakfast this morning and I got stung on my disabled hand and because of the neurological pain I have in that hand the pain of the 3 stings was magnified 100 times (or so I felt) and now it still hurts like hell and is swollen up...Damn right I'll pray for that kid...awful for him! And it does make me ashamed I couldn't whine about my measly 3 stings...lol

Well the bloom vibrates drop it-someone is already using it! That always freaks me out in the morning when I catch them sleeping in the closed blooms

Good morning/afternoon all, it's a grey, drizzly day here but warm.
I've been busy in the garden and Lola has been out - he seemed to enjoy the shower he was caught in for a little while but soon headed for his hide where he has stayed.
Hope everyone has a pleasant Sunday!

I don’t think anyone else’s pain diminishes another.. it’s all real! I stepped on a cow ant one time ( I walk bare footed too) and the pain actually continuously increased.. I though I must be having a reaction and went to an urgent care.. my whole foot had turned dark purple and was drawing instead of swelling.. I learned that the ants venom directly affects the nervous system and causes extreme pain. They are referred to as the cow ant because cows have no tolerance for pain and often die from their stings…. Crazy huh!!!

 

[EllieMay]

Good morning.. high today is only 86 with a few scattered thunderstorms.. I’m thrilled with it !!!

 

[Cathie G]

Hope he's OK.

As it turns out thank God it wasn't the bald face hornets my son saw earlier but it was yellow jackets. He still has a few stingers in him but he's bouncing back. He even had one on his eye. My son was running with him, picking them off of him and trying to smash them all at the same time. The father of the child was also being attacked at the same time. It was crazy.?

You shouldn't be ashamed. I'm just glad it didn't get you more. Hornet stings are so painful. Prayers coming back at you ? I've never even met that little guy and it made me cry knowing what had happened to that poor little fella.

That's good news, it will probably make him very wary of flying insects for a while.
Did they accidentally disturbed a nest ?

Yes they did. It was in the ground around a gazebo. He's so young though I wonder if he'll be afraid. My kids always went back to the same old boo boos.
