Where have all the Flowers Gone?

eh?


sorry, haven't seen that you have had languishing posts. And if you do, girl, you need to equilibrate. Most of us have various languishing posts and entirely unanswered threads - that is part of exploring. Part of the prescribed diet, accumulating them.


Please cut out the paranoia bits, as lots of us like you already. Relax.

You can't smell?

Whoa... Not meant as a paranoia... I was making an apparently futile attempt at humor... LOL

It has seemed pretty quite around here lately. That's all. I thought I'd try to make a joke about it rather than sit here and be like.... "Oh... whoa is me... blah blah blah... blah blah..."

*shrugs*

Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?

People come. People go. People take vacation. People take rests. The question is not where have they gone. It is when will they be back.

Also, what Osso said. :-)

Nope, not at all ticomaya. It has proven to be a good thing at times! LOL

Yeah, I can think of many instances where that would be a good thing.

HA! Intrepid! You know that song? Bwaaaaa hahaha! I learned that at girl scout camp. Hehehe...

Which part of what osso said Intrepid? You think I'm paranoid too???


LOL kiddin... only kiddin...

That's probably where 'trep learned it too. :wink:

Well here's a few instances for you tico...

I love horses. I can scoop poop all day long and not even be bothered by it.

I worked in a nursing home for awhile... I don't think I need to say much more than that...

Last but not least... It is a well known fact that men are very gassy...

Bwaaaaaaaa hahaha! Gotcha! :wink:

Nah, I don't think you are paranoid. Not that my thoughts are valid. kiddin

Yup, I like that song. Now I can't stop singing it.

LOL yeah... So Intrepid... where DID you learn that song? Hehehe...

I was around when it was written.

Intrepid,

Hmmmmm.... Oh reeeeally now? I really thought I was the only person left in the world that knew that song... Here's another... Betcha don't know this one....

Today... while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million... tommorrows... shall all pass away...
Ere I forget... All the joys that are mine... Today...

I can't be contented with yesterday's glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment and now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing...

Today... while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tommorrows shall all pass away...
Ere I forget... All the joys that are mine...
Today...

I'll be a dandy... And I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing.
I'll feast at your table I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow may bring...

Today... while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tommorrows shall all pass away...
Ere I forget... All the joys that are mine... Today...

Now there's some stuff I wish I could smell!

*sigh*

My childhood wasn't ALL bad. It's good to remember the good things.

Ok, one last song... just in case anyone reads this... I just can't resist putting this song in your head... weeeee...

This is the song that never ends
It goes on and on my friends
Someone started singing it not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever just because...



Hehehe...

Nite!

Yup, a great old New Christy Minstrel song. I love the old ballads. :-)

Me too!

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die

I met her on the mountain, there I took her life
Met her on the mountain, stabbed her with my knife

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry (ah-uh-eye)
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die

This time tomorrow,
reckon where I'll be
Hadn't-a been for Grayson,
I'd-a been in Tennessee (well now, boy)

Hang down (your head) your head (Dooley) and cry
Hang down your head and cry (ah poor boy, ah well-ah)
Hang down (your head) your head (Dooley) and cry
Poor boy, you're bound to die (ah well now boy)

Hang down (your head) your head (Dooley) and cry
Hang down your head and cry (ah poor boy, ah well-ah)
Hang down (your head) your head (Dooley) and cry
Poor boy, you're bound to die

This time tomorrow,
reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
hangin' from a white oak tree

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry (ah-uh-eye)
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die (ah well now boy)

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry (poor boy ah well uh)
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die
Poor boy, you're bound to die
Poor boy, you're bound to die
Poor boy, you're bound to .......die
