Having the Xmas tree's made me unpack my salt lamp..... which is now turned on and giving off a lovely, orangey glow Love that lamp, not used it/had it on since 2006.

I'd boxed it up carefully - it had been leeching salt as my last house was very damp, so there's some surface salts on it, I will eventually find out how to clean those areas that have discoloured.

I'd wrapped the lamp in a big sandwich bag and sealed it - and the plug separately and sealed it, then put it into a box.... it's heavy, very heavy. Stands about 10" tall.

That's beautiful, I've never seen anything like it. The quality of light looks lovely.

I didn't realise it was a joke - sorry I didn't laugh at you as planned. I know you're older than me, so I thought if you were surprised I was "so old", it must mean you thought I looked younger than I am, so I took it as a compliment. If it was really a joke, does that mean I was being conceited to interpret it that way?

This is aspie at its finest
Now you can see how we upset people.... I did intend to complete what I started, but the conversation diverted ....

You DO look younger though, I thought you and LIR were about the same age.... now I'm probably digging a hole there that she looks her age .... but I didn't mean that either, I think LIR looks a few years younger than her age.

I've no room to store this shovel..... I need to get rid of it.

When I was growing up my parents were always saying/joking "we have to take you everywhere twice; the second time to apologise". Of course, we had no idea why... and I never knew what they were on about as I had no idea I was upsetting anybody or being rude.

Don't panic. Neither Lydia nor I are the type to get easily ruffled.


I do look a bit older than my age these days, excess weight does that. ( till you get to the age where it pushes out wrinkles). U nfortunatelybif you lose weight it makes more wrinkles as your skin has been all stretched

One cannot win with aging! My dad doesn't lo great, but my mother does, she looked awful in her forties though.

Edit, and yes, Lydia looks young...no alcohol, no cigs, clean healthy life?

I'd thoroughly recommend them.... having got an orange one, I've always coveted the pure white ones. You can get them on some lovely bases too.

I did consider trading in them - and I looked into importing them, but it all got complex, too complex for me to understand as it involves importing from Pakistan/similar, having a whole container load ... then doing the customs thing etc..... for a vast volume of them. Then I wondered about EU electrical regs ... and never bothered.

I don't think you can beat a snowman in foil though ... or similar Xmas items.... puds, santas, trees ... in foil... hanging off the tree. http://www.sweetsncandy.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/500x500/74610c5d006c5837d89dcb994444a1d8/s/a/santasnowmen2.jpg

Yep. My parents made a point of bringing us up not to take offence easily.

You look fine to me. Young and vibrant and healthy. A lot healthier than your posts on here give me to understand you really are.

Well, no alcohol, no cigs or drugs, but woefully inadequate sleep. I'm sure I'd look younger and healthier if I slept more. Thank you anyway. I do have great genes for aging though. My mum always looked ages younger than she was (until she got Lewy body dementia in her late 70s) and the women on both sides of the family live to very advanced ages. My grandmothers were 95 and 103 when they died, and I have a paternal aunt who's 91 and doesn't look a day over 70. My mum dying at 82 is about the youngest.

Round here there is a salt chamber where you can go and sit surrounded by salt, pleasant lighting and nothing else. Meant to be good for your hair, skin and mood.

Having never done this Christmas tree lark, I have to ask: Won't the lights melt the chocolate?
