Anyone know ??

Not sure why Google put my reply way down at the bottom and not with
the post I replied to... ah well, not important.

random verse:

Queen Victoria's very sick,
Prince Albert's got the measles.
The children have the whooping cough,
And pop! Goes the weasel.

and a different version:

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
That's the way the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel.

Up and down the City road,
In and out the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel.

Every night when I go out
the monkey's on the table.
Take a stick and knock it off
Pop goes the weasel.

A penny for a ball of thread
Another for a needle,
That's the way the money goes,
pop goes the weasel.

All around the cobblers bench
the monkey chased the people;
The donkey thought 'twas all in fun,
pop goes the weasel.

Oh Gem your Morning Glory fairies are working overtime for you, aren't you
the lucky one? Obviously not wanting these blooms disturbed by those
little
pixie tricksters they asked some squirrels to patrol it all for you...you
are very honoured in your garden then.

Yes, I was thinking that the squirrels must be keeping watch over the
Morning Glory blooms. I put a meal of broken up bread, chips (crisps), and
cut up apple out for them and noticed one of them first thing this morning
sitting high on the fence with a piece of the apple clutched in his little
paws eating away while watching over the Morning Glory. ) I'm sure the
fairies had a tiny bit of a feast last night too, and left some for the
squirrels to have for breakfast.

Shame about our dogs being scared of the thunder isnt it, my boy is scared
of it, whilst the girl couldn't give a monkeys and snores her head off
through it all...still when it is passed and the next day you see the new
blue sky and those white fluffy clouds that look like they've been newly
washed it makes you see what a pretty world we live in with a paintbox
before our very eyes...

Yes, normally our older dog (the girl) is terrified of the thunder... she
was relatively calm this time around though. The younger one (my baby),
the boy, is normally just a *tiny* bit concerned, but sits near me and I
talk to him and pat him.. then he's okay. We have even sat out in the foyer
together and watched the storm and the only time he is more concerned is
when there is a very loud crash that sounds like something hit just outside
the door... then he comes over to lean in against me. This time though, he
kept trying to get under the computer desk... possibly trying to convince me
to shut the computer down (which I normally do at first signs of a storm)
and go sit with him, because once I did shut down and sat on the sofa beside
him, he was fine again.

Peace!

Thank you very much Els... I can use all you have My main problem
just now is nausea. I have a bit of infection. The Consultant says
it is ok, my Doc says no. So she gave me some oral antibiotics with
which I have mega problems and now I am paying for it

OH, dear, Ophelia, what a nuisance! I hope that the nausea is worth
it when the antibiotics kick in.

Once the nausea kicks in I can't keep anything down at all. ie no
more antibiotics either. Last year when I had that awful infection I
was on IV for months if you remember.

This time I only took 3 days of oral antibiotics and even though I
had to stop taking last Tuesday them I am still having trouble
keeping anything down. What a lovely picture I paint)

Anyway.. enough! The redness is subsiding so who knows.. even that
couple of days may have helped

What does the dr say?

LOL Never heard that version, Amanda.

Hi Gem

Ah the wee folk, and the teeny animal friends, I am hoping for a new fairy
next spring, Alum fairies, as I've just planted some bulbs, these have huge
onion seed type heads, a lovely shade of mauve, but the seed heads left
behind are quite stunning...

I just talk calmly and quietly to my dogs when we get thunder, It must
sound like a huge dog growling away somewhere to them...they don't like
fireworks either, gone are the days when you only had to get your cats in on
Nov 5th, seems to me, birthdays and just about anything people want to have
a firework party around here...seems one way of burning your hard earned
cash...

cheers....Cher

Cool. Good luck with your Alum fairies! )

Oh, I know what you mean about the fireworks. The "normal" fireworks days
here are Victoria Day (used to be ON May 24th, now it's the nearest Monday
to it), and Canada Day (July 1st). However, there are people who set them
off anytime they want to throughout the year... and occasionally a day or
two before and after the "normal" days. Matthew and I often joke that
"someone needs to look at their calendar to get the day right", or "Hmmm...
sounds like someone found a couple of fireworks that they forgot to set off
on ***day". We keep the dogs inside while the fireworks are going off.
When it gets a bit much outside though, the dogs will stand at the door (or
in Casper's case, with his paws up on the sink looking out the kitchen
window) and tell them off in their own loud voices. We *used* to buy
fireworks for the "normal" fireworks days when we lived at my parents house
with the huge side garden to use for setting them off, but the back yard at
this house has three trees in it... too close together for fireworks at all.
So now we just go to watch the firemen set off the fireworks for our town on
Canada Day, and listen to (and watch if they're near enough) the fireworks
on Victoria Day that other people set off at their own homes.

Ahh... Nov 5th... Guy Faukes (sp) Night, right? I knew a couple from Wales
who had a huge field beside their house at the edge of town. They would set
up a HUGE bonfire there on Nov 5th, and invite friends over to join in the
fun. )

Then of course we have the fire/ambulance/police sirens to contend with from
time to time. Buffy doesn't bother with them and she sleeps away in the
laundryroom, but Casper *sings* along with the sirens, much to our
amusement. I tell him what a lovely singer he is, and he happily wags his
tail and sings some more with his head held high and lips pursed to get
those notes out just right. LOL

Peace!
Gemini

lol Gem, I can imagine your dog singing, My lucy sings sometimes, what with
them and the cat, now that's one daft moggie for sure, he sits infront of
the tv and then starts pawing at things moving....right funny to
watch...especially if it actually is tennis on, or something, looks like
he's actually playing in with them...

Hugz....Cher

See, there you go! I have heard said (and I know for a fact that it isn't
true) that animals cannot see things on TV, or even reflections. My little
dog who passed away the month before Matthew was born, ran barking at the TV
one day when a dog ran across the screen... it hadn't been barking either,
so it wasn't the sound that caught her attention. Also, when we went to
visit my oldest sister one time and brought Tasha along with us she wandered
off into my sister's bedroom where we heard her carrying on something awful.
She didn't have a normal bark, but her tongue would twist around which
sounded like she was trying to say human words (we used to joke that it
sounded like she was cursing). When we peeked in the bedroom, there she was
having a long drawn out conversation with... the doggy in the full-length
mirror on the closet door. It was the first time she had ever seen herself.
ROTFL

Occasionally I hold a smaller mirror in front of Casper (Buffy doesn't pay
any attention to it at all) and he will tell the other doggy in the mirror
off. hehehe

Peace!

I love fairies , Gnomes and all the other Jolly lot
