According to a local news report this went on for about an hour. Do you think the hedgehog was deliberately teasing the dogs for being stuck inside while he was enjoying the great outdoors? 🤔 Edited April 17, 2020 by Reader1810 1 5 Link to comment

Good thing I have a nice supply of Voltaren cream on hand. Vegging now until dinner. 2 1 Link to comment

Kitt Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 The weather man is using the s word in the weather forecast for tonight into tomorrow. I feel it big time in my hamstring. We decided we were going to order in for dinner tonight. Interesting phenomenon, every single Chinese food establishment close enough for it to still be hot on arrival has closed. These guys don't do sit-down meals oh, it's all take out. Weird 3 Link to comment

Stay Safe I guess I'd want to know, what happens after the 6 months? Also, what would you do with the time off? Could you be happy during that time ... what would you do? What happens if you say no thank you, I'd rather keep working? 2 Link to comment

Time to ponder the pros and cons of each choice. 1 Link to comment

Would they be interested in allowing you to retire and then keeping you on part time? That might be a good option for you both. 3 Link to comment

Mikiesboy Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 And about dying after 6 months ... that is other people not you necessarily ... you are always involved.. you could volunteer more often. 4 Link to comment
Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted April 18, 2020 Site Moderator Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) So last night on my way up to bed, I noticed a spot on the carpet (the carpet is dark brown, and I hadn’t put my glasses on at that point). Anyhoo, thinking I’d spilled coffee there earlier, I bent down to touch the spot to check if it was still wet. To my surprise, the “spot” scuttled away and ran under the TV stand. That’s right the “spot” turned out to be a spider that I swear was the size of a quarter with its long legs. Way to wake me up when it’s time for sleep. *sigh* Needless to say, the spider is still somewhere out there... Edited April 18, 2020 by Reader1810 1 4 Link to comment
