@JPB,
Oh, so good to see some of my bestest a2k girlfriends! Iz-, so sorry for your pain, love. Gentle hugs & a cuppa. I really hope you feel better! And that you thaw! You're getting a taste of what it's been like here most of the winter! Blagh!
Yeah, mis-! So good to see you peek your sunshine-y head in! Hope you feel better & better!
Oh (((JP))), especially good to see you! Waving from here to you there!
@devriesj,
Morning crew, lovely to see all those snow pictures. JPB I can tell you things will be getting cooler by next Sunday when the long awaited change will arrive, between now and then a few more stinkers to get over.
Received "SOS" per yahoo, Izzie's computer is playing up again but she is trying to get back on line.
F/Q wishing you success with your job application, if you want a character witness, just call on me I will give them a glowing report.
Dev I've met all your challenges on the threads now its your turn.
Mismi hope all is well in Alabama country and you're getting back to your old self. Won't tease you when you're down.
Will be back later.
@devriesj,
Hey there crew
Only briefly coz my laptop has decided to seize up again - must be a day for it methinks - but it isn't overheating! I've done all my iddybits, scanned and debugged and despyed and de'd everything bar destroyed the darn thing - but - I appear to be crashing. Have uninstalled firefox now - so going to see if that makes a difference.... who knows. Hey ho!
Better news is my pills are beginning to kick in and I can move just a little now. Little fella has been helping me out a lot - bless him - he's a star. So that's coco.
So... will see if I can upload anything - if not, I shall be back when I can...
Lovin' y'all xxxxxxxx
smooches x
(pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffst laptop!)
No one has ever asked for my opinion on whether I consider Alfred Russel Wallace’s views on natural selection to be the precursor of Charles Darwin’s Origin of the Species.
However, I can say without fear of gastric palpitations that the words of: Barnacle Bill the Sailor…
Who's that knocking at my door? :
Who's that knocking at my door?
Said the fair young maiden.
It's only me from over the sea,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor,
I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor,
I've sailed the seas until I'm broke,
I drink and swear and gamble and smoke,
But I can't swim a bloody stroke,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
2: Are you young and handsome, sir?
Are you young and handsome, sir?
Said the fair young maiden.
I'm old and rough and ready and tough,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor,
I never can get drunk enough,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor,
I drinks my whiskey when I can
Drinks it from an old tin pan,
For whiskey is the life of man,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
3: I'll come down and let you in, :
I'll come down and let you in,
Said the fair young maiden.
Well hurry before I break the door,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor,
I'll rip and rave and rant and roar,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor,
I'll eat your cakes and I'll eat your pies,
I'll spin ye yarns and I'll tell ye lies,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
4: Tell me when we'll meet again.
Tell me when we'll meet again.
Said the fair young maiden.
Never again, we'll meet no more,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
Tonite I'm sailing from this shore,
Says Barnacle Bill the sailor.
And if you wait here till Kingdom Come,
Sittin' and waitin' and suckin' yer thumb,
You'll be waiting here till the day of yer doom,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
Did in fact spawn many different versions " Take it away Dutchy…
Who's that knocking at my door? :
Who's that knocking at my door?"
Said the fair young maiden.
It's only me from over the sea,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
My ass is tight, my temper's raw,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
I'm so wound up I'm afraid to stop,
I'm looking for meat or I'm going to pop,
A rag, a bone with a cherry on top,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
2. : I'll come down and let you in, :
I'll come down and let you in,
Said the fair young maiden.
Well, hurry before I bust the door,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor
I'm hard to windward and hard a-lee,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
I've newly come upon the shore,
And this is what I'm looking for,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
3. : Oh, your whiskers scrape my cheeks, :
Oh, your whiskers scrape my cheeks,
Said the fair young maiden.
I'm dirty and lousy and full of fleas,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor
I'll stick my mast in whom I please,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor
My flowing whiskers give me class,
The sea horses ate them instead of grass,
If they hurt your cheeks, they'll tickle your ass,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
4. : Tell me that we'll soon be wed :
Tell me that we'll soon be wed
Said the fair young maiden.
You foolish girl, it's nothing but sport,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor
I've got me a wife in every port,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor
Off I go on another tack
To give some other fair maid a crack,
But keep it oiled till I come back,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
The only man from the sea I knows,
Lives in OZ and wears few clothes.
If you see his thing in a jar,
and he is in his fire fighters pose-
Don’t break the glass, or touch his hose!
Take it easy what you morph into Izzie.
great pics
the boys and dogs seem to be having a great time, love the snowman
@djjd62,
Izzie you can even make SNOW look beautiful in your pictures!! Looks like the boys are having a blast.
Hi Izzie, absolutely brilliant, loved the snow covered fields and the birds, infact all op them, and so did Mrs.B.. No doubt the little fella and Tulip's son had a great time by looking at their frolics. Sleep well, hope you will be in better shape tomorrow, regardless you still look beautiful on them photo's. (((Izzie)))
@Dutchy,
Love, love LOVE the pics! Besides the ones of you & of the boys I like the snow covered moors!
Hi, Dutch-, Try-, dj, JB, mis- & anyone I may have missed!
Gonna try to catch up to you on the threads if I can. Got a sick teen to tend to. We'll see how it goes.
Ha! Who's having more fun -- boys or dogs? Great photos!
@devriesj,
Hi Dev, already caught up with you on the threads, but don't read the "Insult" one.
Tai Chai, good to see you, how is the snow?
Tryagain you're a master in disguise, thank you for the poem, regretfully I must say every word is true.
@Dutchy,
The snow seems to be just fine, Dutchy. I'm getting a little tired of it however
@Tai Chi,
Wonderful!!!!
Love the pics --- particularly the second one - the one of the moors.
Oh, and the birds and berries.
...and the boys playing.
...and the river.
... AND, the happy smile of Miz Izz.
waving wildly to stormwatch -- long time, no see!
