DFF would like to share some good news tonight if it’s okay. I had some tests done today and they confirmed that I’m in perfect health. For two years I’ve had my battles physically and it looks like it is finally over, at least for now. Let’s hope it remains that way.

This is wonderful news! I'm so pleased for you my friend als: thank you for sharing this with us. I imagine you must be feeling so relieved right now.

You are such a cherished member of this community and I'm so glad to see you happy with this great news.

I can only echo what N2H says

If ever you decide or get the time to join in with the music threads then I hope you know you would be very welcome. I've discovered so much new music thanks to the other members on here.

Thank you Lashes! I really appreciate that. Many times I’ve popped in over there and discovered new songs that I’ve never even heard before, some of them even posted by you LOL

I have some more ideas, although I would like to stress that you mustn't feel under any pressure to like any of these, they're just ideas.

Oh I know that! There’s no pressure. I also like the quotes and the initials, especially the Field of Dreams stuff (obviously). You’ve given me some great ideas to think about, perhaps too much to think about now. But that’s okay cause DFF appreciates the help.

So many possibilities, now if only I could come up with something for my own signature

I’m no expert on signatures but I would assume urs would definitely have to be something to do with David Bowie.
(Or snails)

This is wonderful news! I'm so pleased for you my friend als: thank you for sharing this with us. I imagine you must be feeling so relieved right now.

Thank you Lashes! I can’t tell you how relieved I am. I can’t describe what it feels like to hear “we’ll see you in two years” as opposed to thinking you might have to come back again real soon. I was so stressed out over that appointment that I was only fearing the worst.

I came home Wednesday after my appointment and I sat here and I didn’t move. I just had to be alone to think. I celebrated alone but it was what I needed to do. It’s hard to explain. And other than work I’ve been alone ever since. I just needed some time. But I think everyone understands.

Great news @DallasFanForever about your health news. I'm so glad you got good results from your tests. ❤

Oh really?

The only problem I have with the Music Threads is that their are so many singers and bands (mentioned by others on here) I still need to discover ... its a good problem to have though.

Lol!...I hope I haven't overwhelmed you? I can get carried away when I'm on a mission

Whatever and whenever if/when or not... (lol) , you chose something them just give me a nod and I will explain how to add it to your Signature space.

I’m no expert on signatures but I would assume urs would definitely have to be something to do with David Bowie.

Ooo I like that idea Mmmm.. ..I'm going to see what I can find.

Or snails)

:coffeelaugh:

.... I should do this just for a laugh, although the rest of TT will wonder what the heck I'm doing with a snail

Thank you Lashes! I can’t tell you how relieved I am. I can’t describe what it feels like to hear “we’ll see you in two years” as opposed to thinking you might have to come back again real soon. I was so stressed out over that appointment that I was only fearing the worst.

I have a rough idea of the relief you might've felt my friend, I went through something similar a couple of years ago . Our minds and imaginations can torture us thinking of all the worse possibilities, glad you could grit your teeth and go through with the appointment.

You obviously had to do what felt right for you. I guess it might've taken a while to let it all sink in? I'm so pleased that you felt comfortable enough to share it all with us on here.

 

[Long Lashes]

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend.❤

Yes, thanks @Jessie although sadly we don't celebrate over here, I'd loved to have joined in.

How are you @Jessie? are all your pandemic restrictions over now?

 

[DallasFanForever]

The only problem I have with the Music Threads is that their are so many singers and bands (mentioned by others on here) I still need to discover ... its a good problem to have though.

Same here! I’m mostly stuck in the 80s and 90s when it comes to my music so a lot of times someone will mention an artist or band I’ve never heard of. But then I’ll look them up and I start listening and decide if I like them.

Lol!...I hope I haven't overwhelmed you? I can get carried away when I'm on a mission

Whatever and whenever if/when or not... (lol) , you chose something them just give me a nod and I will explain how to add it to your Signature space.

Nah, I’m not overwhelmed that easily. And thank you for offering to help me out when it comes to adding my signature. You know me well enough to know that DFF often needs assistance with these matters LOL

.... I should do this just for a laugh, although the rest of TT will wonder what the heck I'm doing with a snail

I guess only Michelle and I will know what the heck it means so ur probably right. I just wondered how many people look at my avatar and go what is that?

I have a rough idea of the relief you might've felt my friend, I went through something similar a couple of years ago . Our minds and imaginations can torture us thinking of all the worse possibilities, glad you could grit your teeth and go through with the appointment.

I’m sorry you had to go through something similar. But I’m sure glad you made it!! My appointment was originally July 20 and they called me Wednesday morning and said they were ready for me that day so I obviously assumed the worst. I was a wreck all day LOL!! So ur absolutely right that our imaginations can be our worst enemies.

They are getting harder to catch sight of at this stage. I've often looked in on them only to find an empty nest, as they've all gone out for the day.

Same here. They are slowly moving further from the nest but unlike Fluff's nest isn't not all at once.

Here is a rare shot of the three of them together, will we ever see them like this again?

What an image! :10: Maybe one last family photo for 2021. They have come so far.

This one was early yesterday, the alien eyes are still with them I see ...

Oh, it's so nice to see a Summer image with the alien eyes!

I was lucky again this morning and managed to see two of them before they left for the day...

I do like this image with the sun in the background lighting-up the birds and nest. Very lovely.

I was only able to capture one today.

I wish we could somehow get to know how our Fluff is doing.

I know! It seems I can't find information on that site about recent spottings. I hope Fluff, Liberty and Freedom are enjoying their summer.

I can only echo what N2H says

You surely are not talking to me.

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Is your weather steaming hot again?

NOTE - I said weather Michelle

Yes it is! It's all hot here in the Land of Michelle.

How is your weather my friend?

Yes it is I will take her photo this week to show you, I'm so proud of her.

I'm eager to see this! Woohoo! Good news from Orkie!

Really? :eck: ... but, I thought you'd murdered someone?

It was a honour killing ... to avenge my older sister April. I wasn't convicted so I am not a felon.

Oh I see

They all see me and my supreme hotness and that's how I get away with murder. :dance1:Let the ugly go to jail.

..Lol!

Oh so you want to take it up a level?

Its amazing.

Their are so many thousands of creatures in this world that I know so little about. I'm so glad you told me about the Cicadas, thank you.

Indeed, it's great to discover these animals and how they live their lives. Sadly our forest are silent from their songs now until 2038. They have left their mark with many dead tree limb tips from their young.

Funny you should ask, they've contacted me recently and are considering a visit

Very good! They have much to do to fix probable glitches with the powers they gave you. Now that is if they can find you.

They are not the brightest aliens out there.

The tall Sunflower now has a flower bud

Very good to hear indeed! Your Sunflower is happy and ready to display it's appreciation.

 

[Long Lashes]

Same here! I’m mostly stuck in the 80s and 90s when it comes to my music

They were great eras for music, especially the 80s, although I've noticed quite a few new bands reviving the 80s sound.

thank you for offering to help me out when it comes to adding my signature. You know me well enough to know that DFF often needs assistance with these matters

Anytime, my friend. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about computers, but I've more or less got the hang of TT now, its only taken me 6 years

Although and please keep this to yourself DFF, I've only just realised how much easier it is to quote using the MULTI QUOTE option ..lol!

I just wondered how many people look at my avatar and go what is that?

I think that makes your avatar all the more interesting, at first glance I thought it might've been South Fork, but then, as you know I always get these things so very wrong

I’m sorry you had to go through something similar. But I’m sure glad you made it!!

Thank you

My appointment was originally July 20 and they called me Wednesday morning and said they were ready for me that day so I obviously assumed the worst.

Ooo crikey! that must've been terrifying, I would've thought the worse too.

I was a wreck all day

I'm not surprised , its such a horrible feeling.

Its great that you've got all that behind you now, the worry must've been exhausting and at least you now know that you're fit as a fiddle

I do like this image with the sun in the background lighting-up the birds and nest. Very lovely.

We do get some spectacular views of that nest, it always looks so different depending on the time of the day.

I was only able to capture one today.

This is another great view, doesn't the nest look massive through this camera?



I've been unlucky this past couple of days and have been unable to catch them in the nest, I think they've been returning just not when I happen to tune in.

I did copy this image from the website which someone else took ...

^^ it made me laugh because it reminded me of how Chat used to sprawl out in this way

 

[Long Lashes]

Yes it is! It's all hot here in the Land of Michelle.

Hope you're managing to keep cool over there at least you have A/C that must help.

How is your weather my friend?

We've had a bit of everything lately, quite a bit of rain, but still warm. Its been dry today so I got the chance to get out in the garden. I think I heard that we are soon heading for a heat-wave , so prepare yourself for my constant grumbling about the heat

It was a honour killing ... to avenge my older sister April. I wasn't convicted so I am not a felon.

An honour killing ... are you in the Mafia? :laughing:

They all see me and my supreme hotness and that's how I get away with murder.

So hot people can literally get away with murder? I never knew

Let the ugly go to jail.

Oye!


This must be why I was released early, I'm sure the Budgies soon realised that I was far too hot to be incarcerated :danc:

Sadly our forest are silent from their songs now until 2038. They have left their mark with many dead tree limb tips from their young.

This has been absolutely fascinating for me to learn about. Thank you for telling me about them.

I have no unique insects from the UK to share with you, I did see a lady-bird this afternoon these always make me smile, oh and the butterflies and my lovely bees are reappearing too.

They have much to do to fix probable glitches with the powers they gave you. Now that is if they can find you.

They are not the brightest aliens out there.

Lol! .. my poor Aliens are a bit dim that's true , especially when it comes to navigation as they soon become lost in space. I just hope they haven't forgotten my promised presents.

Also, I'm hoping for some new fashion tips from them. Remember the time when I had some ribs removed and the four fingers, no thumbs trends ?

Since we’re off the record on this Lashes, I didn’t know how to quote a post until about two months ago. I could not figure it out. And I was so embarrassed to ask, which is even more stupid. Then one day I figured it out by mistake, which is sad to say but that’s how I learn most things.

I think that makes your avatar all the more interesting, at first glance I thought it might've been South Fork, but then, as you know I always get these things so very wrong

Funny you should say this, because when I was growing up in that house there was a big debate about calling it North Fork as a spoof on South Fork. I thought it was the dumbest thing I ever heard but my grandfather loved it. Luckily he came to his senses. I loved Dallas but I wasn’t calling my house North Fork. Of course for the rest of her life my mom terrorized me by calling it North Fork in my presence. She even wrote it on the back of every picture of the house that we own.

Great news @DallasFanForever about your health news. I'm so glad you got good results from your tests. ❤

Yes, thanks @Jessie although sadly we don't celebrate over here, I'd loved to have joined in.

How are you @Jessie? are all your pandemic restrictions over now?

I’m ok it is extremely hot, and humid here. Hope everything is good with you, Michelle, Dallasfanforever and anyone else on the thread.

The restrictions have lightened a little bit. Still have to wear masks. We can shop for everything but there is still a limit of how many can go to the stores. Restaurants you can go to them but only patio dining. I don’t go out much anyway.

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday.

Since we’re off the record on this Lashes, I didn’t know how to quote a post until about two months ago. I could not figure it out.

I think its hard when we first join a forum, there are so many new things to get used to.

Although, no one minds if not everyone can use the functions, the main thing is the person and you DFF have fitted in on TT so well. Some people are not bothered about wanting to use the functions either which is fine too.

And I was so embarrassed to ask, which is even more stupid.

Its not stupid at all, it can be difficult to ask for help, especially if we are a new member and even if others encourage us to do so.

I will just say (one last time, I promise not to keep mentioning it ) I am more than happy to explain anything you want to learn, as I'm sure are the other members on here, just so long as you know my friend and you can ask on here or privately by PM if you prefer.

North Fork? that's incredible I imagine it must bring back some happy memories too.

From now on when I see your avatar I'm going to think ... "there goes DFF with his North Fork ranch" in all seriousness though, it is a stunning house and area you grew up in.

Enjoy your weekend, I hope you have some days of rest.

 

[Long Lashes]

I’m ok it is extremely hot, and humid here.

Phew, that heat can be hard work. Can I be nosey @Jessie and ask if you have air-con? we don't have it in the LL house, just fans in most rooms, but we rarely get the extreme heat which you do.

The restrictions have lightened a little bit. Still have to wear masks. We can shop for everything but there is still a limit of how many can go to the stores.

We still have a traffic light system outside some of our stores, although I rarely have to queue anymore, thank goodness.

Restaurants you can go to them but only patio dining.

Ours have recently re-opened. Mr L and I went to one last weekend and we only had to use the masks when we walked around which wasn't often as the waitress brought our drinks and food.

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday.

Have a great weekend @Jessie :catface:

Thank you for saying that Lashes! That’s a very nice thing to say!!

I don’t mind when you keep mentioning something over and over. I’ve often been told I have a knack of making people do that LOL

All kidding aside, you and just about everyone I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with on this site are all very helpful. I’ve felt welcome from day one.

North Fork? that's incredible I imagine it must bring back some happy memories too.

Enjoy your weekend, I hope you have some days of rest.

I knew you’d like the North Fork story. You know Lashes, that house wasn’t too far from a house that David Bowie owned up there. We were only about 15 miles apart. I never did meet him but I knew people that did bump into him in town every once in awhile and I always heard he was very nice.

You have a good weekend too my friend!

 

[DallasFanForever]

And to Michelle, Jessie, and Biggie, and any shy people that are just browsing (wink, wink), you all have a nice weekend too!!
