Don't you get hungry, in this cold dark room? Or does the cheese and coffee do the trick?
Hi !

Have we given you the formal welcome? I am Linda and I live in Kent in South East England.

We’re an international bunch of idiots /friends here who sometimes talk tortoise and fairly regularly talk puns and nonsense.

Pull up an armadillo and the one-legged pirate will be along shortly to bring you your beverage of choice. The big armadillo is called Montgomery and is a very obliging coffee table, especially if you dust him or tickle him under the chin.

It’s rather gloomy in here, but the flying jellyfish glow a little brighter when you polish them. The blueberry ones seem to be glowing brightest at the moment.

Watch your step; it’s easy to stub your toe on the hedgehogs in the gloom. The wool spider, if she exists, seems to be in a better mood since we locked the leprechaun in a jellyfish tank. The snow leopard is very friendly and eats carrots :)

Good morning, my wife and I have a doctor's appointment today. Going to be by video chat. Also my prostithis is bringing back my prosthetic leg today . Hopefully it is going to fit better.
One more day until the backyard is fenced in. Opo and I can't wait!
Hope everyone has a great day.

Thank you. Her isolation ends today. She’s still tired as you would expect, but “returned to work” from her bedroom yesterday.

As a family we are quarantined for another week, but we are all well.
Ok that’s good news to hear, this virus is something else for sure, we have 4 cases here in Colleton County we’re I live.

This is another time-waster

Search for the year you were born and discover which words were new that year.

AAA cell is top of the list for me!

No rain for a month and 80°+ weather. The backyard is worse. Opo has a 6ft x 6ft of grass that is green. It's where I dump his pool water. Thank God he doesn't poop in his water anymore. I need to put a new limit switch on my water pump. So I cant water a big area for him.
I don't want to go to home depot. But while I just wrote that. I realized I can order online.
Thanks Mark! Wow you are a great therapist. Checks in the mail. ?

gee, the poop in the water is natural fertilizer! More poopy water, the greener your grass.!

It will definitely help out Rose. She won't have to chase and pick Opo up. She has a bad back and Opo is getting heavy. Rose goes in tomorrow for injections in her lower back. L4,L5,S1. It is outpatient but I was surprised they were still open.

Stay At Home Order just issued by Maryland’s Governor Hogan. Goes into effect tonight at 8 pm. Only essential travel (like kayaking) authorized. Only essential businesses allowed to stay open. Walking your dog, local walking ok. But no casual travel.
You are lucky, we are not even allowed to walk our dogs. We are only allowed to go to the shops for food, doctors, pharmacies and out if you have to fetch grant money, if you are eligiable.

Thanks Carol, my brother's wife is not a very caring person and seems incapable of making allowances for him and his condition. I think is causing friction and frustrating him because he can't express himself as he used to. We are in touch everyday though just so that he knows we are here for him. I hope you and your family stay safe and well. x
As long as you can stay in touch that will be good for him. Good Luck.

They are talking of restrictions being in place for 3 - 6 months here depending on how things go. It seems unlikely schools will be back before Sept. but its all speculation at this point.
Our schools have made contingency plans to teach the kids online, But I don't know how they are going to be able to sort out the kids who don't have access to the online teaching forums.

I will try. Encouraging words are the best medicine I'm sure every doctor would order. I have a little girl around me every day that calls me grandma. Her eighth chromesone is missing and today she turned 13. That's all I heard about today. So I baked her a chocolate cake. Then I found out the only way to get the candles right was to make her do math on her birthday because I can't go out much. So this was her cake.?View attachment 289300
Well done for thinking out the box.
