I love that duck emoji.

I am beginning to dislike it. ?

Thanks Heather, here is my birthday steak. A 3.5 lb cowboy cut ribery. Cant wait to get it on the grill. View attachment 306292

happy birthday, Ray! Finally, real food. Not some snails and swallow nests ??

 

[JoesMum]

Are snails a problem? I mean they multiply, they have killed off one of the leaves of my Amazon sword plant... Does it get worse? I could make a French dinner for the cats...

They seem to poo a lot and can muck up the water chemistry if there are too many. I have heard of them getting in pumps and stopping the impeller turning too. It never happened to us

Good mornynooneve, Roommates!
It's still Think Positive Day, at least here in the Cold Dark Room.
Wishing everyone all the best.

Hello.?

Hello.?

Hi Cathie ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

The hedgehogs, for example. ?

Hedgehog tennis is pretty dangerous even when played amicably.

That’s sweet Linda! She holding strong. She is fighting sedation now. She actually laughed at me because I couldn’t figure out what she was trying to tell me. The nurses had come in to check her as they do every half hour and I could tell she was frustrated. I tried to guess what was wrong and she tried to mouth it but it’s hard to read her lips with the tubes and stuff. I finally offered her a pen and she nodded yes. My little heifer wrote “sleep” on my book Page. She just wanted them to leave her alone. Once we made that clear , she immediately went restful again. We are going to get thru this no matter what. She has heard all that the doctors have said and she is being brave. I couldn’t be more proud.. I’m having trouble resting with her because when I nod off, I am woken Scared to death.. I’m sure this will pass..

I am so looking forward to your rescue pics and I hope it is not too tiring on you.

Shame yes. Sometimes as helpful as the nurses and doctors are they can be annoying when all you want to do is to sleep. This is one of my favorite songs and I hope it does not make you sad but conveys the sentiment that you can do this.

Good day to you Adam!! ❤

Good afternoon, Kathy!!!

OMG my wife loves Meerkats and I can't count how many times we have been to the Duke Lemer Center. Even a keepr's tour helping clean pooh didn't disuade her!

They are evil personified.
Don't be fooled by their cute looks.
Our old Roommate John and I found some burying the body of a small child at the Biopark in Fuengirola, Spain.
John took one home.
It got into the Cold Dark Room and caused all sorts of mayhem.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I do too, especially when there's something yummy in my mouth!

@EllieMay
Still praying for Jessica. She is very brave.
Do you want to share how the accident happened? Was she at work?
Have you thought about having a good friend start Meal Train for your family for a few weeks? It really can take stress off.
Just put a cooler at the front door for drop offs.

That's a reminder to me. Our city has a blessing box I've been wanting to add somethings to. It's on a main street. People add and take things. I've been forgetting to do it but I have some good food and things we won't use.

I do have a fold out chair my friends brought me a basket earlier today with some water, protein bars , tuna, etc.. they know me, I would never leave her.. once they remove her breathing tube and I know she is comfortable, I will start letting people relieve me for short periods so I can go check on my others. We aren’t there yet.. I think I’m having something like nightmares. The minute I drift off, I seem to wake in a panic that something is wrong.

It is more than likely your brain trying to tell you that you need to process what has happened so that you can deal with the anguish of it and then carry on. If I know you and by what i see your dreams are telling you, you have not admitted to yourself exactly what has happened. As difficult as it is, you should allow yourself to process it, acknowledge it and have a good cry. You will be better for it and will be able to be stronger for it. Either that or you need to talk to someone about it. It is not good to bottle it up.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

That's a good subject to celebrate today.
All the best for you also Adam and family.

And a very Happy Birthday and all the very best to you, my new friend.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Proof please. ?

 

[Cathie G]

Thank you. It means a lot! She woke up a few minutes ago and was able to tell me that she loved me and that she was strong. I asked her if she could feel anything and she could not.. she is back under now..

Hoping I'm finding you and your family on the mend. Love hopes and prayers to you and your family.

Snails are not a problem in small numbers. They have a large bioload for their size.

But if they get out of hand, you can end up with hundreds of them And they are difficult to eradicate.

Try squishing one with your finger on the glass of your tank. Your mollies should gobble them up!
