New old dog: it's love again.

How's the goil doing? Any sign of improvement?

A house piddle here and there - between plenty of non-house piddles - but I'm expecting this now, until she gets her new batch of higher dose antibiotics.

It's almost gnocchi making time again.

I'm the same nowadays.

It's all very well if there is a large aspidistra pot handy, but it tends to make the leaves shrivel.
I'm thinking of buying a utility belt that can accomodate a small jug or a bulldog clip of some sort.

A utility belt, now that's a fine idea for a older gent, or lady, as the case may be... perhaps with a towel clip.

Lord as was, eh?

A heartfelt welcome.

Ossobuco, have you remembered what the tune was yet? It's been driving me mad all day - you have no idea what you've started here - my head is full of countless silly little tunes - all along the lines of Yakety Yak!!!

What osso said was


Maybe osso was thinking of "Green Eggs and Ham"- the rhythm of that poem is similar to what she said.

Green Eggs and Ham

Do you like green eggs and ham?

I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
I do not like green eggs and ham!

Would you like them here or there?

I would not like them here or there.
I would not like them anywhere.

I do so like green eggs and ham!
Thank you! Thank you,
Sam-I-am!

Yes, that's closer than the old Yakety yak song.

My mind says it's something like Do you like my car? Do you like my car?

Maybe if I just have a nice rest with a cup of tea it'll all pop back to the front of my brain. (I say this as I'm making more gnocchi).

Or maybe it's "Do you like my hair? Do you like my hair?"

I still think what you're thinking of is very close to portions of Green Eggs and Ham, particularly in the rhythm or meter. That one also does have a line about a car.

Here's the whole poem

Green Eggs and Ham – Dr. Suess

Do you like green eggs and ham?

I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

Would you like them here or there?

I would not like them here or there.

I would not like them anywhere.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

Would you like them in a house?

Would you like them with a mouse?

I do not like them with a mouse.

I do not lik them here or there.

I do not like them anywhere.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

Would you eat them in a box?

Would you eat them with a fox?

Not in a box. Not with a fox.

Not in a house. Not with a mouse.

I would not like them here or there.

I would not like them anywhere.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

Would you? Could you? In a car?

eat them! eat them! Here they are!

I would not, could not, in a car.

You may like them. You will see.

You may like them in a tree.

I would not, could not in a tree.

Not in a car! You let me be!

I do not like them in a box.

I do not like them with a fox.

I do not like them in a house.

I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

A train! A train! A train! A train!

Could you, would you, on a train?

Not in a train! Not in a tree!

Not in car, Sam! Let me be!

I would not, could not, in a box.

I would not, could not, with a fox.

I will not eat them with a mouse.

I will not eat them in a house.

I will not eat them here or there.

I will not eat them anywhere.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

Definitely similar in rhythm - but I swear I never heard that before.

Both you and ff are driving me mad!!! Another day spent with silly tunes whizzing around my head! Bad enough with yak and attack, now it's Sam and ham - when will it end! Oh please try and remember the tune Osso!

You're going to have to suffer along with me! I can't access You Tube - or rarely, since my computer is too old to upgrade re adobe flash. So.. I can't check the stupid tunes I do think of. Grrrr.

Speaking of Dr. Seuss and more innocent times:

Amazing - I could watch that. (Youtube must be confused today too. I can't see the video something like 19 out of 20 times)

Amusing..

Even worse now - to add to my Sam and ham I have eggs! Yikes!!!

Katy was just here in the Media Center (ha ha) having a late afternoon snooze. She made some little woofs, I stared at her. Another little woof. Her tail wagged somewhat. I had to say something, didn't I, like "you're sleeping", and that woke her up.

The good news is that the new antibiotics came. The bad news is she now has to take six a day. My first thought is... I'll run out of gnocchi fast. I may have to raid my fishcake freezer collection. Or look into making rice gnocchi, which would be new and different for me.

So, a little wine or your choice of soda or tea - let's toast to these pills doing the job.

To the success of the pills!

Lovely dress - nice glass too. Also, in the background, I've a lamp rather like that one.. so a very fitting selection, Firefly.

Is it a new antibiotic, or a larger dose of the old one?
