I was told that there is a pretty pink padded room in here me....awww there it is I don't like red wine can I have white?

Greetings to Cass and "grl".... Hope everyone is enjoying their stay. "They" say red wine is better for you, but like you Cass, I'd rather have white.

Actually, grl, there is a drum in the common room - it's used to call all inmates to gather around and do the VV2 chant. Barbara even comes around now and then to "teach" level 3 in patience. poooooooooor Barbara, even though everytime she shows up and the quote below my activity states, I have improved in this skill, when looking at my details, the skill line REFUSES to budge. Alas, my "skill" still claims that I am untrained. I return to my cell: unsure what to do.

What's that... the drum is beating... (running to center of island - also known as the common room)... assuming the lotus position.. somewhat awkward in this jacket....
v v twooooooooooooooooooo v v twooooooooooooooooooo

Aww Cass, you finally made it we were wondering where you'd got to, long holiday was it ?? Or have you some way of staying secret from the Looney Police ??
Now who was it sang "Pretty in Pink" ??
I've been trying to drum up more inmates Gohill so keep those painting brushes handy
VV Two, VV Two, and three and four and.................

Oh spdrgrl, how about a "Raffles" theme for your room. Dark wood floor and shutters on the windows which also have cream voile curtains. A wood burning stove to bring warmth and a cosy feel to the room. Cream coloured walls with ivy stencils around the windows. Pale green chaise lounge with a green velvet throw and cushions, Some huge potted plants (ferns, fig and rubber). And a lovely ceiling fan to keep you "cool". Oops, almost forgot, a wine rack in the corner, haha!! And how about some lovely crystal wine glasses and scented candles on a mahogany side board.....now, what colour would you like your strait jacket??


Best of Irish,
Maura

This is VI here
They say I have no fear

Thus I cannot understand
Why I have no fans

Why just today I get my room
And all I can see is gloom

But here I set
If only for a bet

I know I don’t belong here
Oh dear

I look for my wine
But all I find is a dime

I know I have the keys
So I guess I’ll just flee

Ooh that sounds nice Maura, are you joining the decorating team then ?? We all have such great lives in here, makes me wonder why anyone would want to stay outside.
Anybody for Rose, no, pass the white somebody please
VV 2, VV 2, and three and four and...........

Greetings, fellow inmates! I don't know if I need to be drinking any wine. I would probably get light-headed from just taking a whiff of it. The only time I drink is when I go out dancing. Which is rare these days. The last time was two years ago when I went to a Mexican lounge with my daughters. Both my daughters are married to Mexicans and my oldest speaks Spanish whereas my youngest only knows a few words and phrases. One big difference is my oldest took Spanish in high school.

I don't think Barbara can "teach" me level 1,2,3 or whatever in patience either. I think we are alike on that point.

Hey, I think I hear the drum too! Wait up, gohill! Aaarrrggghhh! This jacket is soooo uncomfortable!

Well, well even the VI is doing it!! LOL !!

Maura! There you are! I have been wondering where you were. I guess you squeezed in while I was typing my other post. I would have had it up sooner but my favorite soap is on and I was typing during the commercials.

I guess dark hardwood floors would be okay just as long as some brightly colored throw rugs are put down. I like things bright and cheerful. A wood burning stove, huh? I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid on my grandparents' farm.

And the scented candles sound nice too. Maybe a tropical scent or something flowery.

A light shade of blue sounds nice as far as the jacket. Blue is a relaxing color for me and would be helpful keeping me calm while waiting for VV2. And as far as the wine rack, stock it with both red and white so my guests will have a choice.

I have successfully taken the keys away from VI!!!!!! He is not allowed to leave. If we're stuck here, so is HE. I mentioned to the guys in white coats that a "monk" needs capturing. He is resisting but... all in good time... all in good time.

My hubby has sent a black jacket.. I think he is in mourning over the "loss" of his wife. Since it is made out of silk, I can overlook his implications. I pat him on his cheek, and send him on his way. The drum beats it's time to chant. v v twoooooooooooo
