COLD DARK ROOM

[Bee62]

I totally agree, Sabine. It kills me when I see pictures of all those plastic bottles that have washed up on beaches, practically covering the sand. This is the Dominican Republic:

That is terrible ! I have no words for this shame ! We destroy our own planet !
I don`t use plastik bottles. I drink tap water because it`s very safe and clean in Germany. But so many food I buy is wrapped in plastic, I can avoid it, unfortunately and sadly.

FOOD LABEL DESIGNERS
Instead of writing "Best Before End : see top of lid " why not simply replace this message with the best before end date ?

Because you should search for the date. And it is written in so tiny letters that older people can`t read it without glasses. It is a part of the "how we can sell more" game.

Great Saturday Morning to you !!!

Thank you !

Good morning!
Just sitting in my car sipping coffee while my sons soccer team warms up.
Between the two kids we have 7 soccer games this weekend and maybe 8 for the finals.

I usually walk the track during warm ups but I didn't have time for my coffee.

I'll try to take photos today of our area. I love seeing all of yours!

Enjoy soccer and coffee ! I wish you a nice day and your son a good play.

Good morning!
I Am trying to stay busy today, or else I'll just SIT and read or noodle around on the Internet, which is not healthy-i should be more active! But I MUST keep an eye on the Tortoise Forum or else my day feels empty!

We are all addicted to TFO .....

Quite right too.

POPULAR AT CHRISTMAS
Convince your postman that you are more popular than you actually are by sending yourself several hundred Christmas cards each year.

I totally understand. I sometimes sit here most of the morning, wasting away the cooler part of the day when I should be outside working.

Good morning

Good morning, Rolley! How is everything where you are?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning

Good morning to you and a very warm welcome to the Cold Dark Room!
I'll get the One-legged Leprechaun pirate substitute to fetch you a beverage of choice, please pull up an armadillo to sit on, don't sit on a hedgehog and beware of flying jellyfish.
Hope you like cheese.

It is my understanding that the ocean's current brings all this waste to these beaches. It's not necessarily done by the inhabitants there. I buy water in plastic bottles, but I recycle (or I should say, I bag up the empties and store them in my garage. Pretty soon there's going to be no room to park my truck in there. Last time I took it all to the recycle center I made over $75).

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Be sure ! (I`ll be back before breakfast )
I am addicted to CDR and all it`s roommates, to TFO and to you Adam !

Of course.
You're only Human.

I've just done a few months work.
So am not feeling guilty now.

Here we buy only glass bottles or cartons.
The glass bottles have a little money back on them when you return them to the shop.
But many shops are now switching to plastic.
Other recycling is in its infancy here.

POPULAR AT CHRISTMAS
Convince your postman that you are more popular than you actually are by sending yourself several hundred Christmas cards each year.

Or ask all members of TFO to send you a christmas card !

YUP !
This worked last year.
(well, in the Cold Dark Room, I wouldn't ask the whole forum, i'l too shy.)

HEALTH
Minimize the risk of breaking your arm by avoiding swans wherever possible.

You don`t waste time, you take time for yourself. That`s a good thing. When we ( all ) get older we should listen to our inner voice that tells us to make things slower. I hear that voice in me too and I don`t think I am lazy. We are not born to work all day long.
