How long will it take us to get to 10,000 posts?

[Biggie]

@Long Lashes pretty chilled weekend really. Cutting about between TT and iTunes getting reacquainted with The Sugababes. Freak Like Me (differentgear mix) is a great example of a first rate song being made even better when remixed. All the Sugababes need is a roughneck brother that can satisfy them.

Absolute filth..... I'm quite keen.

Heck, no wonder you got confused those addresses are so similar and doesn't it make a difference when people are pleasant and don't kick up a fuss?

It really does! It definitely makes you feel better about messing up when they understand.

Sounds like you have the best of both worlds I'm so glad it seems to be working out for you DFF.

Thank you Lashes! It actually worked out quite well. Change is scary sometimes and you don’t know if ur doing the right thing. But I see now I did.

Basically it pings you on your phone if you've been somewhere or near someone who has tested positive for Covid and if you get pinged then you have to self-isolate for 10 ten days, its causing chaos to so many businesses over here.

I have heard of this, yes, but I honestly haven’t seen it yet where I live. I’m sure we have it though. The numbers are going through the roof here again. My cousin, who is vaccinated, just tested positive and she’s currently isolated. And tomorrow is my nieces bday and now a lot of my family are not going to the party tomorrow night. Uncle DFF is showing up because he fears his nieces threats more than Covid.

I shouldn't grumble really because as far as we are aware all four young eagles have successfully fledged

Ur right, we shouldn’t grumble! But I honestly can’t wait til next season.

I love ur avatar by the way!! One of my favorites on Telly Talk right now.

I hope that you are having a nice weekend my friend, and the same goes for Michelle, Jessie and Biggie as well!!

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Okay, for the sake of peace I'm prepared to share the Captains hat

Share only because you lost our pillow battle.

I shall wear it on the days of the week which contain a 'Y'

Pfft! Every other day my friend. That is only fair.

Ooo I'm not sure about this look N2H

I'm only thinking of you, but your legs might get very chilly aboard the yacht.

Don't worry about my hot, gorgeous legs my friend. My hotness will lead us to victory on the high seas.

This might suit you better ...

Isn't it fab? and I can get you several in all different colours, just say the word ... :laughing:

Well maybe if we decide to take the TT Yacht to Antarctica than this will do but not for most of our travels. You can't stifle my incredible hotness my friend. :dance1:

It does thank goodness. When we had the extreme heat a couple of weeks ago, I seriously considered just driving around for an hour or so to cool down

Summer can be so cruel. Do you see more people getting A/C for their homes in your area with these heat-waves?

I always enjoy hearing of your Orchid adventures :hb:

Who would ever have thought that Orchids could have such exciting lives?

Indeed, they can teach you so much even though they are plants. The plant world is exciting and missed by so many as they are so common place in our lives.

I will let het know what you said, thank you

:ty:

I don't think the Orchid Experts have met anyone like you before and don't know how determined you are to do the upmost to help your plants. No one could ever call you a quitter Michelle.

I take my plant ownership seriously. If they are in my care they remain so until they are ready to be returned to Mother Nature. I certainly will not abandon a plant when it is sick and struggling.

Aww that's quite touching to see , its almost as if Snowie is trying to give PV some of her strength. Thanks for letting us see this :ty:

It was my pleasure. These two have been through so much together so it's fitting they have a bond even thought I do place them next to each other. I'm just glad PV is still alive and that Snowy is growing very well after a year-long slumber.

Even though her leaf has died, her new growth actually looks healthy and fresh, so who knows what she will do next

She is on her own path and I'm with her where ever she goes. Her new growth is somewhat encouraging but also it worries me that the side growths, the keikis, will drain the main plant of her energy. If the keikis grow roots then she will live. PV really has to start growing roots. She is just very confused but alive. I'm thankful I only have one struggling orchid at this time.

I got her as a gift, poor Orkie I didn't even choose her, but I wouldn't be without her now.

I do remember you saying that. What a great gift indeed. :bravo1:

My Mum bought an Orchid last week for her Sisters birthday and it was a very reasonable price, so off I rushed to the store (Tescos) and they had all sold out ... it wasn't meant to be

Orchids are such great gifts. Great news to hear this but sorry they were all gone by the time you looked. No doubt you'll come across some soon to keep Orkie company. Around here it is hard to avoid them. I have to or else I'm driving home with another plant. I added a third light onto my plant tower to accommodate the growing community of Orchids.

I would love to see a photo of your Mothers Sunflower if and when you get time.

I shall. I took one on Sunday but it is not in bloom just yet. It's a biggie!

We are still awaiting for another 6 of ours to bloom ... I hope they don't let me down lol.

I hope so too! It's August and we need Sunflowers!

Yes it will, just think we now have an Enforcer sized Sunflower its also got another three blooms awaiting to flower, all we need now is for our sun to return.

Do you have to water them often? i was curious if they are thirty plants. I hope if The Enforcer saw a Sunflower she wouldn't damage it.

Thank you, I always like to have your approval on these matters

I do notices your changing avatars and signatures. Is Dark Lashes going to return in October?

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Yaay! well done @Biggie you hit the 4200 mark :hats:

I hope you are well too and enjoying the weekend.Yes indeed, @Biggie took us over the finish line for #4200. :bravo1:

I love ur avatar by the way!! One of my favorites on Telly Talk right now.

Agreed, 'Lashes has great avatars!

I hope that you are having a nice weekend my friend, and the same goes for Michelle, Jessie and Biggie as well!!

I hope you did as well. I just worked all weekend.

 

[DallasFanForever]

I hope you did as well. I just worked all weekend.

Thank you Michelle! I worked Saturday so I can relate to the sad emoji. Working on the weekend always makes me feel like I’m missing out on something. Many a Saturday DFF will wake up and it won’t register right away that it’s time to go to work. Then the reality sets in. It can be quite depressing!

Do you listen to music everyday @Biggie, I do.

I wish I could get into 'Hip Hop' like you, I feel like I'm missing out on something, but I guess we can't all connect with every genre. I've tried a few time to listen to it, but I don't get it ... if that makes sense? I'll keep giving a try and it might eventually click with me.

Absolute filth..... I'm quite keen.

:laughing:

 

[Long Lashes]

The numbers are going through the roof here again. My cousin, who is vaccinated, just tested positive and she’s currently isolated.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear this, I do hope your cousin is okay. No country seems to be able to stabilise this pandemic, I do wonder if we will eventually just have to get used to living with it?

Uncle DFF is showing up because he fears his nieces threats more than Covid.

:Clol:

Aw you are a good Uncle DFF, I'm sure your niece was thrilled to see you on her special day.

But I honestly can’t wait til next season.

I'm really pleased to see how you enjoyed the Eagles, its not everyone's thing, but I find them fascinating. I'm already looking forward to seeing Liberty, Freedom, Lipstick and Guy make a return and start re-building their nests again.

I love ur avatar by the way!! One of my favorites on Telly Talk right now.

That's so lovely of you to say, thank you my friend



DFF do you think we need to have another goal for this thread? thank you, you're a far better mathematician than I am

 

[Long Lashes]

Share only because you lost our pillow battle.

Well that might have something to do with it, those pillows hurt you know

Pfft! Every other day my friend. That is only fair.

Fair? who said anything about being fair?

Only joking! I will share the Captains hat with you N2H maybe, maybe not lol

Don't worry about my hot, gorgeous legs my friend. My hotness will lead us to victory on the high seas.

If you say so ...

but I still think those legs need covering up and kept out of view

Well maybe if we decide to take the TT Yacht to Antarctica than this will do but not for most of our travels. You can't stifle my incredible hotness my friend.

I would never try to stifle your hottish-ness my friend, no, no, never. I was merely thinking of your health and keeping warm. Honest I was

Summer can be so cruel. Do you see more people getting A/C for their homes in your area with these heat-waves?

Yes, I know of two friends who have bought A/C units, I've not seen them yet, but I believe they can be moved from room to room.

The plant world is exciting and missed by so many as they are so common place in our lives.

Yes, exactly, we all take such things for granted, me included. I think having the massive and lock down last year opened my eyes even more.

Today I've been picking apples from one of our trees, they're cooking apples so I'm going to make and freeze some apple pies this weekend. A few of the apples had been half eaten by the black-birds whilst still on the branches, they love fruit, so I will forgive them ... oh and another thing I've found which black-birds and sparrows both like to eat are ants, we still have a few wondering around our patio (ants) and they keep getting eaten - do not tell the budgies any of this!

I take my plant ownership seriously. If they are in my care they remain so until they are ready to be returned to Mother Nature. I certainly will not abandon a plant when it is sick and struggling.

If I was a plant I would definitely want to be owned by you

She is on her own path and I'm with her where ever she goes. Her new growth is somewhat encouraging but also it worries me that the side growths, the keikis, will drain the main plant of her energy. If the keikis grow roots then she will live. PV really has to start growing roots. She is just very confused but alive. I'm thankful I only have one struggling orchid at this time.

I hope she somehow tries to grow some roots, wouldn't it be great if after all your special care she proves the experts wrong and comes through ray:

I added a third light onto my plant tower to accommodate the growing community of Orchids.

Ooo very swish! are you happy with how its all looking? and do you think you might eventually have to buy another plant tower?

I shall. I took one on Sunday but it is not in bloom just yet. It's a biggie!

Can't wait to see it I'm sure Sunflowers must love your hot summers.

Do you have to water them often? i was curious if they are thirty plants.

Once they start getting larger yes, they need watering most days, they're very thirsty, but then they are growing at such a fast rate. I have five in the ground (the others are in pots) and the ones planted in the ground seem to be thriving with little help. I actually check them all every day looking for any new blooms ...Lol!

I hope if The Enforcer saw a Sunflower she wouldn't damage it.

If The Enforcer dares to hurt any of my plants I will NEVER speak to her again .. not sure how I will manage not talking to her because she is me, how flipping confusing

. Is Dark Lashes going to return in October?

Possibly. I almost made my latest a Gothic avatar, I found a few dark ones I liked, but them I thought they were too dark for summer. I like to try and keep with the seasons

 

[DallasFanForever]

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear this, I do hope your cousin is okay. No country seems to be able to stabilise this pandemic, I do wonder if we will eventually just have to get used to living with it?

Thank you Lashes!! She seems to be doing okay. I hate to say it because I don’t want to be negative or bring anyone down but I’m afraid this is the new world we live in now. In Florida we have the most cases in the US now and our governor will not mandate a mask law. The infection rate in my county of Palm Beach is almost 20% right now. Other than that everything’s fine!

Aw you are a good Uncle DFF, I'm sure your niece was thrilled to see you on her special day.

Thank you for saying that! She was very happy I went because with everything going on right now down here a lot of people canceled. But she understands.

I'm really pleased to see how you enjoyed the Eagles, its not everyone's thing, but I find them fascinating. I'm already looking forward to seeing Liberty, Freedom, Lipstick and Guy make a return and start re-building their nests again.

Me too. I love watching animals. I was never like this until my niece came along (This kid should only know the airtime I give her on this site). But her dog, three cats, hamster and tropical fish have all become like my pets too now so that’s how I got started. My interest in animals comes from her.

 

[DallasFanForever]

DFF do you think we need to have another goal for this thread? thank you, you're a far better mathematician than I am

Is 4300 by September 1 feasible? That’s 86 more in the next 27 days. I think it’s doable.

 

[Long Lashes]

Thank you Lashes!! She seems to be doing okay.

Glad to hear this.

. In Florida we have the most cases in the US now and our governor will not mandate a mask law. The infection rate in my county of Palm Beach is almost 20% right now.

Oh heck, I'm sorry to hear this and I hope things improve in your part of the world soon. I wonder why your Governor is not enforcing the wearing of masks? he/she must have their reasons, but nothing makes sense does it?

Our government have made so many mistakes all through this pandemic, I can understand how no one is an expert on what to do, but the mistakes which have been made over here are very basic/common sense ones.

Other than that everything’s fine!

Just you make sure you look out for yourself DFF and keep yourself safe ... which I suspect you already do.

She was very happy I went because with everything going on right now down here a lot of people canceled. But she understands.

I bet you made her day Its all very hard on children and young people having to miss out on such things as birthday celebrations, which normally are special and exciting days for them.

But her dog, three cats, hamster and tropical fish have all become like my pets too now so that’s how I got started. My interest in animals comes from her.

This just shows how we are never too old (I'm not saying you're old by the way ) to learn and appreciate things we never used to do and I must say your niece sounds so lovely, its always special sharing times with younger ones.

 

[Long Lashes]

s 4300 by September 1 feasible? That’s 86 more in the next 27 days. I think it’s doable.

Thanks for working this one out my friend my brain goes to mush where numbers are concerned.

I did some shopping for a neighbour today and it took me over 20 minutes to work out how much she owed me, I kept getting a different totals each time I added it all up :fp:




4300 - 4216 = 83 .... we are down to needing just 83 posts already :hats:

 

[DallasFanForever]

Oh heck, I'm sorry to hear this and I hope things improve in your part of the world soon. I wonder why your Governor is not enforcing the wearing of masks? he/she must have their reasons, but nothing makes sense does it?

Thank you Lashes! Unfortunately everything is political, even something as easy as wearing a mask or getting a vaccine. I’ll never get it. The lack of common sense I see everywhere never ceases to amaze me.

Our government have made so many mistakes all through this pandemic, I can understand how no one is an expert on what to do, but the mistakes which have been made over here are very basic/common sense ones.

How is it over there now? I’m hoping ur country is back to some kind of normalcy?

Just you make sure you look out for yourself DFF and keep yourself safe ... which I suspect you already do

Thank you my friend! How I never got sick is in of itself a miracle. I hope you and ur family are staying safe as well!

 

[DallasFanForever]

This just shows how we are never too old (I'm not saying you're old by the way ) to learn and appreciate things we never used to do

I’ve gotten much better with this over the years. The things I’ve learned to appreciate recently surprises me. There’s a lot of reasons for that, and I think I took a lot of things for granted for so long.

And thank you for not calling me old by the way LOL

Hey, math isn’t ur strong suit, and that’s okay. I was a math whiz as a kid so I’m glad I can help. This may shock you Lashes but I’m not exactly a genius when it comes to avatars, signatures, banners, etc. so it’s nice to be able to return the help when I can.

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Thank you Lashes! Unfortunately everything is political, even something as easy as wearing a mask or getting a vaccine. I’ll never get it. The lack of common sense I see everywhere never ceases to amaze me.

I so agree! I work with people who refuse to get vaccinated based on fear and odds they will get sick from the vaccine. All they know is hearsay or repeating what some "thought leader" of their choice said on television. Luckily most of my co-workers are vaccinated and trust science.

I’m glad most of ur coworkers had the sense to do the right thing. I would say out of the 200 people I work with probably about half are vaccinated. And considering what we do for a living and how many people we come into contact with I just don’t get it. We all got shots when we were kids for various things or we couldn’t go to school so what is the big deal now? I don’t understand.

80 posts away from 4300 with about 25 and a half days to go!!

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Well that might have something to do with it, those pillows hurt you know

I'm sorry I hurt you with these fluffy pillows my dear friend. Hours in the TT Gym has made Michelle quite strong.

The nurses that gave me my Covid jab can attest to that fact. I know not to get too rough with you or else I will have the Enforcer to answer to.

Fair? who said anything about being fair?

Only joking! I will share the Captains hat with you N2H maybe, maybe not lol

Well I'll have to wear my rightful Hotness crown while you wear the Captain's hat.

If you say so ...

but I still think those legs need covering up and kept out of view

Pfft, these gorgeously toned legs should never be hidden, especially on our lovely yacht.

I would never try to stifle your hottish-ness my friend, no, no, never. I was merely thinking of your health and keeping warm. Honest I was

Hottish-ness, pfft!

Yes, I know of two friends who have bought A/C units, I've not seen them yet, but I believe they can be moved from room to room.

Very interesting. We have them too. Many are either out window units and what we call "central air" that is forced through ones heating vents in a house.

Yes, exactly, we all take such things for granted, me included. I think having the massive and lock down last year opened my eyes even more.

Indeed. The simple things in nature come into more focus now. I for one have come much closer to plants and animals than I was before the pandemic. There is so much to learn from them.

Today I've been picking apples from one of our trees, they're cooking apples so I'm going to make and freeze some apple pies this weekend. A few of the apples had been half eaten by the black-birds whilst still on the branches, they love fruit, so I will forgive them ... oh and another thing I've found which black-birds and sparrows both like to eat are ants, we still have a few wondering around our patio (ants) and they keep getting eaten - do not tell the budgies any of this!

The Budgies have a soft spot in their judgment process when it comes to other birds. Have you been able to harvest many apples? Are your trees producing well this year? My grandparents had apple trees and harvested the apples and made pies and apple sauce often. It was a lot of work peeling can cook them.

If I was a plant I would definitely want to be owned by you

That was such a nice thing to say.

I have a guest in my Plant Tower for the next few weeks. One of my Mother's two orchids is ready to add a new leaf and my lights are great for triggering that process so one is with my others now basking in the light.

I hope she somehow tries to grow some roots, wouldn't it be great if after all your special care she proves the experts wrong and comes through ray:

I hope so too. I always look at PV to see if or where she shows new growth. Her energy is so divided. I just hope she pulls through this. It's been almost a year since the root rot disaster put her in this situation.

Ooo very swish! are you happy with how its all looking? and do you think you might eventually have to buy another plant tower?

Surely down the road a second Tower will come about but I need to find out were to put it. :thinks: These LED grow lights really makes these orchids happy.

Can't wait to see it I'm sure Sunflowers must love your hot summers.

Indeed. It should bloom soon. I do like these giant sunflowers. I'm eager to share once it blooms.

BTW, how is your Tiny Tim? Is summer treating him well?

Once they start getting larger yes, they need watering most days, they're very thirsty, but then they are growing at such a fast rate. I have five in the ground (the others are in pots) and the ones planted in the ground seem to be thriving with little help. I actually check them all every day looking for any new blooms ...Lol!

Wow, being a large plant I'm not too surprised with their water intake. Do they wilt if they are thirsty? That sun can rob them of their moisture so quickly. My poinsettias have suffered this summer from that issue.

If The Enforcer dares to hurt any of my plants I will NEVER speak to her again .. not sure how I will manage not talking to her because she is me, how flipping confusing

That would be something but remember she could play cruel tricks on you too. You never know where you'll awaken from the Enforcer state.

Possibly. I almost made my latest a Gothic avatar, I found a few dark ones I liked, but them I thought they were too dark for summer. I like to try and keep with the seasons

I do enjoy how you keep with the seasons. Yes I do look forward to the return of Dark Lashes this Autumn but for how Summer 'Lashes is just as good.
