How is that beautiful crestie settling in? And of course how are you?

 

[CarolM]

S'okay, I love the smell of overripe Gorgonzola and Durian fruit.
Having said that, many people DO consider me weird.
Hey ho.

You are part of a very few who actually like the smell of the durian fruit.

I don’t like the smell of it. It’s weird
but like I said earlier I do love the scent the orchard bark gives off

 

[CarolM]

Well good morning!! I love entering the CDR to find heroic tales of adventure and life.. its a good day

Son and I are back at his specialist appointment today. I anticipate a good report and maybe a reduction in the endless meds.. after, I have a yen for sushi so I’m going to force him to eat at a Japanese grill with me.. (I was smart and brought his Nintendo switch for bribery)

Good luck at the doc.

She seems to be settling in. She is eating. She likes mealworms but does not seem too interested in the dubia roaches or turkistan roaches. But I have put the roaches into a glass bowl. She can get in and out. They cannot. I will see in the morning if she has taken any. ? and I am just dandy. Thank you for asking. How r u?

I cannot stand the smell of durian fruit, nor the taste.

Please take me away from wifey!
My life has been extraordinary, but not always in a good way.
We all have good and bad times.
My father left home with another woman when i was 17/18 and i never spoke to him again.
My mother and both my brothers died in a car crash a few years after that.
I have been shot a few times (once by me, by accident) and dragged off blindfolded into the rain forests of Myanmar.
I very nearly died of TB.
But these were all good things, too.
Life is what you make of it.
Your life is considerably better than multiple millions of people in this incredibly diverse world.
OZ? There is no Utopia except within yourself.
Life's Good!

my dear man,
To begin my answer from your post I will start with the first sentience....
I have just finished reading all five pages of
“Esio Trot” (which I found fascinating) and for you to say 3 years later... you would like to be pulled from wifey is baffling to me.
I loved that story and thought you’d be swooning over getting her for almost...well....forever!?..
That being said. I am truly sorry for the things you have been through over the years . God has his own plans I can only assume.. but you still came out as one of the great ones. (As they are few and far between). The people on here ALL live for your posts (including me) and another one of your adventures! I will start to see MY life in a new light thanks to you. The smell of skunks from careless neighbors garbage
can’t be all bad, and you are correct. There are many more people with bigger problems.. I shall eat my tounge tonight for dinner..
And finally, I must admit.. I might have shot you once myself for giving me -10 pts. because I forgot your posting handle (name)..Without giving me a chance at redemption
??. Never the less... I am still so glad you came back to your cold dark room where we all feel safe...?

I used to spend time in Wales when I was younger. My grand father was a miner so we had frequent visits when I was younger to visit the mines they worked on.
at the time we lived about 30/45 mins from Birmingham
Now I’m up north way. But looking to move back down south.
but yes I agree To cold. Way to cold. Altho we did have good weather Friday. It hit 36c in some areas in UK All it’s done today is rain rain rain. Typical English weather it SUCKS.

Ooh another Brit in the CDR. Hello

I’m Linda, currently residing in my native county of Kent. I may have been born here, but as we moved to West Yorkshire when I was 4, to Somerset when I was 6 and back to North Yorkshire just before I was 11, I think of myself as being from Yorkshire.

Like Adam, I am half Welsh. My Dad is English but moved to Scotland... I have family pretty much everywhere in the country ?

 

[Chefdenoel10]

I am.
I must do another one, that was so much fun.
For those of you who haven't read it, please do!

hello there. I just wanted to say thank you for getting me to read “Esio Trot”. I would have never seen it had you not reposted it. It was wonderful!! Kept me on the edge of my seat!!! LOVED the re-enactment pics.
Sad for all of the torts that went back to the store though... but trying to forget that part.. thank you again!

 

[JoesMum]

It wasn't me.
I didn't do it.
wifey made me.
I'm a soft white innocent lamby sort of thing.

Hmmm...

It’s bedtime for me. I had a long day back at the recue. Tomorrow I have a day at home... Yay! ... so there’s time catch up. This is a place marker so I know where to pick up!

I’m not sure what it is. I was ok this morning then this afternoon just started feeling a little sluggish.
Im laid in bed with water bottle and warm hand towel on my forehead I’ve taken some antihistamines aswell. Hopefully what ever it is. It’s gone by tomorrow.
mans no need for apologies. I appreciate the advice. Many thanks

I’m still waiting to be told when I can work. I’m bored out of my skull. It’s same thing everyday now. Lockdown since 13th March. So almost 5 months now and I’ve had enough. I want my normal. Not so normal crazy hectic life back.

Durian, durian... Does that have anything to do with the kingdom underneath the mountain? Is @Tidgy's Dad trying to feed us Tolkien?
