COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Guys, please help. I haven't been able to reach a moderator. We have to give up our nearly 8 year old m.e.e. I posted an ad in the for sale/adoptions and got an alert that it had been moved. It doesn't show up anywhere and when I click on the alert it takes me to my message, but shows it closed for replies! I hope someone will answer. Thank you.

...........or if you click on her name in my last message you could try to PM her - just click on 'start conversation' in the info box that comes up.

Thanks Lynn. I actually asked $1250 for him because I only want someone who understands his value (which is really more). If I have to take less I will, so long as it's someone who really knows proper tortoise care. That's why I hope not to have to list him anywhere other than here. (Would never give him up at all, but we're moving overseas and won't have proper care options.) All the best and thanks again. Hope Yvonne will be in touch.

Good morning All! Today my little man is 6... we celebrated his birthday Saturday and I’m still reeling from the aftermath. I have taken the day off today so that I can have lunch with him at school. Matter of fact, I’ve taken most of the month off.. lol
I am working 3 days this week and 3 days next week and that’s it until next year.... yeah.... this is me gettin fat I should have lots of time to visit here in the CDR and overload y’all with random pics.

I rented a “Gamesters bus” for his party and had it here at home. The other picture I attached is him reading his home made card from his best friend at school. He’s got a good heart

All for sale ads are closed. That's our policy. Your ad is in the For sale section.

It's amazing what some people think are worth lots of money on craigslist. This a.m. there's a guy selling "Doodle" pups for $1000 each. And it's not a mis print because he spelled it out - one thousand. The mother is australian shepherd and the dad is miniature poodle. So he expects to get $1000 for a mutt pup.

Designer dogs they call them these days but technically mongrels/mutts.

Good mornooning everyone. I hope all is well in your corner of the planet. I am spending my time avoiding the news on radio and tv. I am sick of our General Election, the lies, name-calling, hate and general sh!t-stirring.

What on earth is wrong with just trying to do your best for the country, other people and the environment? * sigh *

I shall be out bright and early to cast my vote tomorrow. Not that it will make any difference in my constituency as it’s a Conservative Party “safe seat”. Anything with a blue rosette pinned to it would get elected here. Apart from about 3 years in the early 1900s this town has always had a Conservative MP. It would be nice to live somewhere where I felt that my vote actually made a difference!

I was doing exactly the same as I was and still am sick of it too.
Unfortunately we don't seem to have many decent politicians in any party any more.
I found out today that the new Secretary of State for Wales was and maybe still is a Master of the Hunt who enjoys his dogs ripping foxes to bits and is also fully in favour of badger culls! I don't want a thug like that representing us.

Ho Ho Ho! How are you all?
I've had a hectic few weeks with preps (and props) for our school concert, helping my nephew who has had a bad chest infection, visitors and general Xmas mayhem.
I hope everyone is well and I will try my best to catch up with your posts when I have the time.
I am looking forward to finishing school on Friday for a 2 week holiday and hopefully some rest.
Speak to you soon!

SO GOOD TO READ YOU! You have been missed Lynn, maybe by the weekend you’ll have more time to chat. Hope your nephew improves quickly!

Happy Tuesday all.

We’re off soon for a trip to Maryland’s Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge over on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We hope to see 1000’s of geese, ducks, swans & eagles. We popped over there last year & were treated to lots of wildlife. Sooo, ho ho ho, off we go.

Here’s another clue to the current project.

It's a peg to hold your new, large sulcata enclosure together!

 

[Blackdog1714]

Add some cork too it and you have a big wine bottle stopper!

All good guesses. But not the Final Answer.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Ok.

Just back from a great day out - cold, windy, but sunny with a clear blue sky! We saw plenty of geese, ducks, tundra swans, a few herons & soaring eagles and one Bald Eagle sitting atop a tree over our head.

Just took the wife to Tampa for 4 days and what a weather change. First day it was 40 in Richmond and Raining. Tampa was 70's with varying clouds/sun with only a few short rain showers. We went to Busch Gardens, Big Cat Recue, Florida Aquarium, and Tampa Zoo. We had a blast. All photo credit goes to my wife. She managed to sneak a few that she didnt realize she got until later like the hippo! The dogs enjoyed a stay at Holiday Barn and met Santa

I love your pictures...both doggies are adorable. I'm partial to chows though... the happy little black tongue says it all.

Good to not see you, Lyn!

We went to "A Child's Christmas in Wales" the other day. Do you know it? The musical director at our church turned it into a wonderful Christmas performance. Daughter slept through most of it, though (It was somewhat past her bedtime, to be fair ) I was thinking about you.

How's Lola? How's your knee?
