COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

I wish I had room in the house for a aquarium.
Hope yours gets better at swimming.

He's a betta in a 5.5 gallon tank. The same tank is on sale until March 1st at my petsmart. It's so tempting. This time I'd have a tray under it for moving it. Joseph and I have a small house and the tank is a beautiful part of it because of Arrow.

I know it always feels weird when you guys talk cold we talk hot and when we talk cold you talk warm. ?

Joseph and I haven't seen a normal winter yet this year. We've been so warm it alarmed him. One day lately it hit the 70's. February is supposed to be snowy, icy, and freezing.

Good morning, yesterday I was going to assemble the new table saw I bought. That would have helped me doing some of the things on the honey do list.
Rose said not to do it right now because see needed to put all the boxes of Christmas decorations up in the attic in the garage.
So I changed out some burnt out lights outside and then Opo and I went outside for him to graze. I even let him go to the front yard.
Hope your Monday starts your week out good.

I'm sure the 2 of you will get er done eventually. It's been nice 40's even though it's been rainy, drizzling, and cloudy. I got some stuff done so I'm happy.

I'm trying to work on a purse. My son (40tyish) has learned some new hand stitching. He keeps interrupting me for advice. He's making me proud though. He's finished 3 items that look good. A Baofeng radio case, a coin case, and an addition to a knife case. It's fun. We started doing leather work together when he was about 15 and being homeschooled. We've had a unique chance to spend time like that again only less rushed.

AAhhh that is so great that your son likes doing things like that with you.

Not to brag or anything, but here's just a small portion of mine:

Brag away, In fact I give you bragging rights.

Large, fast moving storms blew through our area this morning. No damage here, but lots of broken trees, roofs ripped off, etc.

The rain & winds in our back garden this morning -

I love weather like that. Although we do not get it very often anymore. Send some of that rain this please.

Hi everyone I hope you are all well.
I haven't had a chance to catch up with your posts yet and it may take me a while as I'm only able to pop in quickly at the moment. My brother has just been diagnosed with a brain tumour which we are devastated about. He went for tests and scans for dementia 2 years ago which gave him the all clear so although we knew he wasn't himself and tried to get him to go for more tests this is quite unexpected. I'm spending as much time as possible at the hospital with him so until he is stable and we know the treatment and prognosis I'm not going to have much time. I do have a holiday for the week starting the 16th so hopefully I'll catch up with you all then if not before. Until then take care.

I am so sorry to read your post. I hope that they can treat his tumor and that he gets better. A big electronic Hug Lyn.

Pretty sure this constitutes as bragging rights! ??

SNAPPISH

Looks like Carol is back to work....must be Monday, lunch break....?

Actually it was the end of the day, I popped in for a few minutes, as that was the first opportunity I have had for a while. LOL

That seems to be the trend with weather all over. It is a changing.

Yayy, I have managed to catch up.

I was very busy last week so could not come on here. I was also having trouble logging into the site from my phone in the evenings last night.

It is now Tuesday so thank goodness Monday is over. (And for once it went by very quickly).
Sadly I actually don't have anything to report, as my last week was just work, home and sleep. LOL Unless of course you find that riveting?. In which case I had a very riveting week last week.

Anyway the sun is still shining, and the workday will hopefully be finished before I know it. Have a good one everyone.

Happy Tuesday!

I sign out on most things I do from my phone and computer. TFO through the CDR I don't. Somehow, when they change up, I manage to find a new shortcut. This time one of your quotes is my book mark. The first one was@bee 62's post about trying to count the tortoises here. Where is she?

I was wondering about @Bee62 also.

Do you have a filter system or is it not needed?

Rose was putting boxes up in the attic yesterday until it got to hot.
I really feel useless because I should be doing that. She is a trooper

Well...I was thinking...and that's dangerous. The other part of my family were born in the spring. My son will be 42 next month.So I was thinking of a way to sink rivets in tooling leather as a birthday present. Got any ideas?

You evidently aren't useless. Sometimes it's just a family being able to stay together that really counts. My son has actually been disabled since birth and my brother also. I would feel a deep void in my life if they were gone. ( even though they're both a pain in my bum).?

Thanks Cathie, I guess I need to get off the pity pot.?

I have a filter system that came with the tank. I bought a TopFin and wondering whether or not to buy the same size or a 10 gallon. They say you don't need it for a betta but that doesn't make sense to me because rain would do the same for a mud puddle. I just make sure the flow doesn't blow him around in the water. The size I buy will depend on it's dimensions and the size of tray I can find. Just to make the tank movable if necessary. It sits on my entertainment stand and it's better then tv even with 1 little fish.

It's the same with me...with breathing problems, osteoporosis, and blah blah blah...health problems. I have to fight that or I won't outlive Saphire. I can't stand the thought of anyone getting my little
