MsMadge,
I am going to repeat my birthday wishes for the Viking.

cwillie...your Nursery rhymes have brought old songs I'd forgotten to my mind today,but most aren't cruel,except one,starting with "Eenie meenie miinie moe...".A nice one I remember was one you clapped to and it went:
Flea
Flea,Fly,
Flea,Fly,Flo
Veesta!
Kumalata,kumalata,kumalata Veesta
O no,no,no,notta Veesta
Eenie meanie,decimeanie,oowalawala meanie
Beep,belly oh ten doo ten doo ten bebopdeodendoten~

But I don't know what it meant.

"Mairzy doats and dozy doats
and liddle lamzy divey.
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you"

was confusing 🤪

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A kid will eat ivy too, wouldn't you?

My father always finished with the clear version.

Have commented on "Rock-a-bye Baby"
Then commented Happy Birthday to Ms.Madge's mother.

These posts were deleted, or failed to appear after seeing them posted.

This has been happening for quite some time now.

Golden,
So glad you cleared that Mares Eat Oats song up for me. I was remembering it the way CW had it written.

Another my Dad would sing might have been about fish? “They swam and they swam right over the dam”. That’s all I can remember...

Now, Sendhelp posted again.

Are you sure they posted Send? Do you think your avatar was haunted? (I like the finger family better, they always make me smile)

Hi Send

Yes, they posted. I always check now.

However, I am giving the benefit of this doubt, this started way before the new website was launched. I don't want to be paranoid about an admin gremlin going behind me and deleting free speech. Wish if it is not agreeable, they would e-mail me with the rules meant just for me.....

However, the technology in my home must be at fault, as we are searching for a new ISP, with new equipment at a reasonable fee. I don't know how all this works, but blaming the technology feels better than being rejected.

I have been sad about this.

Three Little Fishies

Down in the meadow in a 
little bitty pool
Swam three little fishies
And a mama fishie too
"Swim," said the mama fishie,
"Swim if you can."
And they swam and they swam all
over the dam

Boop boop diten datem whatem choo
Boop boop diten datem whatem choo
Boop boop diten datem whatem choo
And they swam and they swam 
right over the dam

"Stop!" cried the mama fish,
"Or you will get lost."
But the three little fishies
didn’t want to be bossed
The three little fishies
went off on a spree, 
And they swam and 
they swam right out to the sea.

Boop boop diten datem
Whatem choo
Boop boop diten datem whatem choo
Boop boop diten datem whatem choo
And they swam and they swam
And they got lost in the sea

"Help!" cried the fishies,
"Look at the whale."
And quick as they could,
They turned on their tails  
And back to the itty bitty  
pool they swam
And they swam and
they swam
Back over the dam

Boop boop diten datem
whatem choo
Boop boop diten datem
whatem choo
Boop boop diten datem whatem choo
And they swam and they swam
Right over the dam.

oh my! I didn't see my post so I reposted it, then the old post showed up!
Then, I thought I erased it, so I posted it again, then the original showed up.

I dont believe my fingers are faster than the posting!

'nuff for tonight. Maybe I'll have more patience tomorrow.

The Viking never smoked but every once in a while she'll ask me for her cigarettes?

when I ask her why she wants them, she says they do something for her

should I get her some candy cigs ?

You THINK she never smoked MsM - she might have had a wild youth you know nothing about.
Soon we in Canada will be able to buy wacky tabacky, maybe they'd like some of that at the NH🤪

Sure MsMadge.....Get her some candy cigarettes,why not~
I  don't know if you have a Big Lots where you are,but I saw them there for fifty cents a box here.

CrackerBarrel might have 'em too.

My Mother never let me have candy cigarettes,but every Summer,when I went to my Cousin's,my Uncle bought them for me.
I still like them,but right now,I'm hooked on Jelly Bellies.

Luckylu, yummm, I used to Love the taste of those candy cigarettes, and haven't seen them for sale in donkey's years! They are just pure sugar, and you used to be able blow out through them and create a puff of "smoke" from the powdered sugar coating inside the wrapper, and we thought we were so Cool, some of them even had "lipstick" imprint already on the mouth end, Lol! Still, I won't be rushing out to buy them for my Grandies though, their Mother would Kill Me!

The Viking is developing a new habit -
with every bite of food I put in her mouth at breakfast this morning, she would make a noise - kinda a moan or a hum
she was awake, chewing and swallowing ok, but I couldn't tell what she was doing

finally, I said when you just make noises, I don't know what you want - she looked at me, and said, "that's too bad."

I like candy cigarettes because they're kind of minty and they melt in your mouth,but the one's they make today aren't near as good as the one's we had growing up.

MsMadge....what if you make the same noises back to your Mom that she makes or start meowing or barking when she makes noises...sounds like the Viking is being a little Monster.
