We haven't seen @DallasFanForever in some time, I hope all is well.
Yes, I’m okay Michelle. And thank you for asking my friend!! DFF is still recovering from some injuries. Nothing serious, just wear and tear. I’m off most of this week and I need it. I’ve learned that doing my job with one hand is kind of tough so I figured I’d better take some time off.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I can certainly empathize. Most Mondays I'm dead tired from working all weekend. I'm getting old too and feel it some days. Time sure flies by as one gets older.

It's good you have some time off to recover. One has to look after their health. We miss you around here. Get better and we'll be here when you return. :)

Thank you!! I woke up one morning and my left hand was double the size of my right. And I don’t even remember what I did. I think that’s the worst part of getting older, getting injured and not knowing how it happened. But luckily the swelling is gone now so I still have some pain but it’s nothing like it was.

Yes, I remember you saying that you work all weekend. It sure does catch up after awhile, doesn’t it? I used to do 120 stops every day without breaking a sweat. Now I’m happy with 80 LOL!! Let the young kids do more. I’m too old.

Thank you my friend!! I’ve missed you and many others as well. I’ve been reading every thread but it hurt so bad to type that I couldn’t say much HA HA!! It was a tough couple of weeks but I think the worst is behind me now.

I know I’m gonna get in trouble for this one but even replying to the daft questions of @Long Lashes was hard to do. Thank goodness I’m healing now before she asked any more.

(Just kidding Lashes, just kidding)

Wishing you a speedy recovery. I did happen to mention it someone else.

Thank you!! Your support and hers is greatly appreciated. I’m noticing I get more support and well wishes on this thread than from most people I know.

Let’s see, one person told me to stop faking my injuries to get out of work.

Another one when I told her my hand was numb at one point she wanted to test it by hitting it with a hammer. I told her that’s probably not a good idea.

And the best reaction was from my niece, who asked me if my injured hand would get in the way of me shopping for her birthday.

So I guess everyone cares in their own special way.

It seems our minds think we are younger but we forget how old we are getting.

I agree, let the younger people do more work. We've done our share for decades.

It's good to hear the worst is behind you. Hopefully you have gotten a good rest.

We all love 'Lashes daft questions. :hugs:She's the best. Now I have to find out who this new hire is at the TT Cafe. She didn't inform me of this new hire. o_O

Yes I’m very guilty of this. People I know tell me all the time to slow down a little and get more rest when it comes to work. I listen a lot more than I used to. At one time I had to be talked into taking time off to heal up. This time I begged for it LOL!!

I agree, let the younger people do more work. We've done our share for decades.
I’m all for this. I walked into my station when I was 23 years old. I was the youngest one there and everyone was mostly old enough to be my parents. Now I’m a veteran and everyone I see coming in is 23. It puts things in perspective and makes me wonder where the time went.

It's good to hear the worst is behind you. Hopefully you have gotten a good rest.
I’m off til next Monday and I haven’t moved from the couch yet. And I have to say it seems to be the best medicine. I’m healing.

We all love 'Lashes daft questions.
I would never admit to this

She's the best
Okay, this part I agree with. Actually I think you’re both neck and neck in that department from my experiences here.

Now I have to find out who this new hire is at the TT Cafe. She didn't inform me of this new hire. o_O
Yes, I noticed this and was baffled as well. Are you suggesting there’s evidence that Lashes might’ve gone rogue on us?

Have you made it to 10,000 posts while I've been AWOL? :hide: Life suddenly got very hectic for me, but hopefully things are back to normal again.

I sure have some catching up to do on this thread.... :back:

Ha ha.. very true. My mind tells me that I'm still 17 years old. Every morning my knees, ankle and box of daily meds speak the truth!

A few weeks ago the barbershop guy casually dropped into conversation that my grey hair will soon be the whole story!

On reflection maybe I shouldn't have given him a tip.

Replika has a board games knowledge pack.
Replika appears to have absolutely everything :lol:



Alas, Replika dared to say this to me
…and shortly afterwards changed
…and quickly changed again…
She's very unpredictable, thats for sure.



Oh, he is a she. Her husband is the walk leader. It was about four years before I noticed they were married.
How wrong of me to assume your vicar was a he.... because I know full well we now have many females in the role. Its good how they're both involved with the same things.

So sorry its taken me so long to catch up on here.


In a way you owe her a thank you cause losing her made me join this site. I was trying to keep busy LOL
Its funny how we all made our way to this site for various reasons. I only came here to discuss BIG BROTHER and then I thought I would be off, gone, disappeared forever.



You don’t realize it when you’re doing it but sometimes after I get home that’s when the adrenaline wears off and you start feeling the aches and pains. It’s a building filled with surgeries, injuries, sprains, strains, broken bones. We’ve got everything!
Oh I know what you mean DFF. I've been gardening today, the first proper day this year as we had some decent weather, I loved it, but now I can feel a few aches here and there.



Is your storm situation over? I hope all is well and you didn’t get hit too bad over there.
Thank you for asking, yes it wasn't too bad up here in the north and certainly nothing on the scale that you experience in the US. I think spring has finally and truly arrived here, we have some tulips about to flower at long last. How is your weather these days? still hot?



I know I’m gonna get in trouble for this one but even replying to the daft questions of @Long Lashes was hard to do. Thank goodness I’m healing now before she asked any more.
Lol! .. me and my daft questions :crazyme:

On a serious note though my friend, if ever you can't be bothered or just don't want to reply them please do not worry, I could never be offended with you :)



(Just kidding Lashes, just kidding)
I know, I know :lol:

How are you now DFF, hope all is well.

No, she still in my Mother's attic with other plants. Here is a photo of her last week.
Streetie022022.jpg

I'm not as worried as before. I'll keep a close eye on her in these later weeks of Winter.
I'm so please how Streetie is looking absolutely splendid! :bravo1: thanks for letting us see her again Michelle.

She has so many leaves and branches :D and she looks quite tall, I have never,ever got any Poinsettia to look like this. I do like that white stand she is on too. Our Streetie is a living legend!


Khloe The Kalanchoe is doing well and getting big with new blooms on the way. She may need a pruning in the Spring.
I wonder if you could take cuttings from her? that's if you wanted to, but I imagine you might already have more than enough plants ;)


How are they doing? Does Biggie and Tiny Tallulah stay together?
They are both alive and still with us in March, so this is good for me. They each sit on separate window sills, they seem to enjoy the natural light .. do you find this with Poinsettias? Biggies leaves have been looking a bit dry and withered recently, but has new ones coming through so hopefully is okay.



I've had to put their names on the bottom of some of the new orchid pots so I don't get confuses who is who.
I'm not surprised at this, it must get very confusing :lol:


Having said that the lady at the grocery store has many that didn't sell on Valentine's Day and when they start dropping blooms I'm likely to be offered a new one.
Dare I ask? have you been offered any new Orchids? :hide:



It's a Godiva cup. I forget about that until I notices it written on the side while watering her today. A cup of orchid. ;)
Yes.."a cup of Orchid" :cool: I like this idea and might pinch it for myself.

So sorry its taken me so long to catch up on here.
That’s okay Lashes!! You were missed but we’re all still here.

Its funny how we all made our way to this site for various reasons. I only came here to discuss BIG BROTHER and then I thought I would be off, gone, disappeared forever.
I joined just to chat about Dallas. I had no idea all this other stuff was even here.

Oh I know what you mean DFF. I've been gardening today, the first proper day this year as we had some decent weather, I loved it, but now I can feel a few aches here and there.
Yes, well those aches and pains seem to come quite more often now and they last longer. At least that’s what I’m noticing.

Thank you for asking, yes it wasn't too bad up here in the north and certainly nothing on the scale that you experience in the US. I think spring has finally and truly arrived here, we have some tulips about to flower at long last. How is your weather these days? still hot?
I’m glad your winter seems to be over. It’s 90 degrees here today and it feels like it. I can’t wait to see July

On a serious note though my friend, if ever you can't be bothered or just don't want to reply them please do not worry, I could never be offended with you :)
I know that but your questions never bother me, trust me my friend. The dafter the better.

Is dafter a word or did I just invent that?

How are you now DFF, hope all is well.
It’s been an odyssey lately. I’ve been through a lot in the past month physically but I’m okay. I’ve had to do some leaning lately but luckily I’ve got a few people to lean on.

I hope all is well with you and your family my friend!!

I hope you don't mind me saying, but your barber sounds a bit of a straight talker :yikey:
"T" as he is known is a first rate fellow, and visiting his barber shop is an education as T has "experienced everything that life can throw at him, except death!" Dear Mama ( he get a lady in for her) and I rather enjoy the visits and hearing all about his ups, downs and in-betweens. Credit to T, he actually was quite tactful about by changing of season and, if I recall correctly, said... "I can see that the platinum is taking over brother".

I started to turn in my twenties and have never hidden it. But T being a first rate fellow... I'm not turning grey.... I'm putting on my "platinum" plumage!

I believe we were all meant to meet on here :) ... I still don't understand when some members leave? I know I go AWOL at times, but I can never imagine leaving here. I guess things must get too busy for some and they need to move on?


Yes, well those aches and pains seem to come quite more often now and they last longer. At least that’s what I’m noticing.
In my last job we were not permitted to lift anything, which means everything took twice as long to do because we had to use hoists etc ... they were obsessed with protecting our backs, which in retrospect I'm grateful for.


. It’s 90 degrees here today and it feels like it. I can’t wait to see July
Oh my goodness :eck: that type of heat is so difficult for me to even imagine right now.


I know that but your questions never bother me, trust me my friend. The dafter the better.
Thank you :laughing: and I do have another of my daft questions especially for you today.

Its just when I read how hot the weather is where you live, I wondered if you are ever bothered by snakes? Yikes, they terrify me.
Is dafter a word or did I just invent that?
I have no idea if its a word, but I understand the meaning.

We all need people to lean on at times, its good if you can accept help. I think they should make you a manager so you could keep safe in an office .. or would that drive you mad?


I hope all is well with you and your family my friend!!
We are all good thanks DFF. Times have been very trying these past few weeks, but all is calming down again.:)
