Awake, are we?

Deleting posts on my threads earns more than a chastisement. I believe in one case I promised to hunt down the offenders and ...

There, there, Aunty. Come on back to Nut Lodge, the lily pond and our little creek, where you'll be all safe. You know how excited you get when you go exploring. Big Miss Janey has got her cane out, and lots of other bad things, so let's tiptoe away very carefully.

Ha! Doesn't frighten me a bit.

I am beholden (not bechevrolet) to her for much good works.

This is to let you know, Janey, that I have nudged my serious thread with the follow up of CEC and MIEK. The last post will bring you up to date with the "like grains of sand through the hour glass of whatever", history.

I really should try and meld the two threads. But it would be so messy.

Now I must away. I have some Unit Standing Orders to write for the battalion, a grimy new Adjutant to whip into shape and a bunch of wet behind the ears junior officers who are going to be learning their alphabet at 0800 hrs tomorrow morning. Oh, so busy!!

Oh look. This poor little thread has nearly fallen off the page. Hmmm needs a bit of a tidy up. Perhaps a little NUDGE or two.

Whistle, whistle, or should that be phfftt, phftt.
Sweep, sweep, clip, clip.

Might go in and delete a few bits and edit a few more bits. Make it neat and tidy.

Never know who might visit.

Might hide over here away from the military battalion at Nut Lodge. Few bars of chocolate and a good book will do for a while.

Hi, just popped on briefly. Special Hellos to our friends the Canadian folks on here, especially the one I met! :-))

Hopefully I'll pop back later. Have a good day, all. :-))

Hi Glenys, Trouble with Canadians you met them in the most unlikely places.

I'm thread sitting for a while.

Oh Sherlock, tell me about it! lol
See you later.

Another day dawns.

Let me see. Not Maple Syrup. How about Treacle. Thick, very sweet, by product of sugar refining. Well it's part of the process.

Hi, little thread. You're still here. Wonder when the RCMP are going to arrive. Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald used to do that so well together. Ah! I remember.

Aunty.

You truly are as nutty as a pancake.

And what is/are the RCMP when its/they are at home??

Aunty.

Or a raspberry ripple.

Dalmations are nice arent they?I lke the way they trot after the carriages through the streets of london,,really sweet.
Maybe not as sweet as maple syrup or treacle though.
What do you think??

Oh ,pantaloons
It did post it twice now,and it wouldnt post at all earlier.
Will tidy it up a bit by editing methinks.

Crikey aunty,if you can remember that film "rosemarie"you must be old enough to be my g grandma.
The person who put me in the picture,whoops sorry,bad pun,cant remember all the song to go with it??
I am calling you?
And she had to call her G G grandma to find out.

Also she told me what RCMP stood for,and thats straight from the horses mouth,I will add that she is now crowing cos I didnt know what it meant and she did.


And I guess that the RCMP will be

Coming round the mountain when they come?
With Dalmations at their heels maybe.

Vivienne! Shame on you! The RCMP are the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who we were told make quite a few public appearances, especially in the tourist areas we visited.

Did we see them? Did we heck!

*wanders off thread, cursing to self*

Just a thought...................
I guess that should be Labaradors at their heels,not Dalmations.
But I still think Dalmations are sweet.

I am NEVER ashamed of myself cos if I was it would be constant thing,and I have proved many a time that I have no shame!!

Oh dear I just closed a window and lost the lot as well. Dalmations are not quite as intelligent as labradors!!

So Vivienne you are probably in a great deal of far north american mire right now. Fancy not knowing RCMP.
Yes Rose Marie was the movie and the song Indian Love Call.

It was made famous by Slim Whitman in the early 50s.

And waddayamean old. I watched it on reruns on the movie channel (my nose is growing longer).

Remember their famous slogan The Mounties Always Get Their Man.

However the best one to my way of thinking is Monty Python's "I'm a Lumberjack." That really epitomises the true nature of those wild woodsmen and their faithful beavers and pet salmon in goldfish bowls.

Incidentally good move to edit and not delete. There is a quivering vibe on here that prevents deletion. Sort of a mystical warning which sweeps over the psyche whenever the finger hovers over the delete "button".

You are so right about that "vibe"aunty,it can get quite aereated about deletions.
I did go to press the delete button,but it was as though a shield went around it and my finger was then guided to the edit button instead.

Bet the mounties would prefer to get the girl anyday!

How goes your thread sitting,does it get lonely?
Or do you have a good book and a big box of chocs to keep you company,but of course I keep popping in to distract you,as you see.
So I will be off to try and distract someone else now with a promised letter, that was written by my grandma out of law ,that they are interested in hearing the contents of.

No don't mind thread sitting. Nothing is going to whooosh in here and delete it so I'm safe. It's nice and quiet and no doom and gloom.

Just back from a bit of a lurk. The good threads are all fine. The mediocre ones struggling as normal, the bad ones living on borrowed time and there is a healthy crop of newbies all taking an interest in becoming obsessed with their ancients.

You are welcome to lurk on the TKU threads, at any time, to see how the nutters are doing.

Just read the last few posts. Oh the you know what is going to hit the you know where, when the keeper of the vegetable fibre kitchen implement returns.

Winnepeg Waffler - nope
