For younger people, old nursery rhyme

You are a devilsh one Larry...

...and I mean that in a good way.;p

You couldn't resist could you?

Well, the auto correct here at HW has foiled you again...but then you knew that it would.;)

Thanks for the laugh!!!!!!!!!!!

...so here is the joke JL...

Today Larry was helping a member by suggesting the recitation of a nursery rhyme to combat OCD type intrusive thoughts.

...well when he went to type in this one, the censor feature here edited the old fashioned word for cat/kitty...because of the double meaning.

Larry thought I had edited him...but it was actually done automatically, since there are certain words that are on 'the list'

...this of course is not a bad word in this context...but the edit feature does not read intent, right?

...so Larry is being devilish, and testing the limit of our editing software!

I gotcha! It's surprising that no one censored that James Bond movie (Goldfinger) character played by Honor Blackman. She played P***y Galore! Whoa!!! What a "name"...especially in the 60's!

But SC, I censored myself! :)

When I was a little kid, my Mom thought it sounded bad to say "Pee". She preferred we say "pee-pee". I asked her why it was bad to say it once but okay to say it twice! LOL! After that we could say "pee" without her objections! hahahahahaha!!!!!

Merrida, You just keep getting cooler. The last house we had was in a small W.Texas town, not even a 4
way intersection, I did the Master Bedroom walls in a lime green, then glued Lace curtains over the green,
the ceiling was the old style tin squares and yes the floors were hardwood, I used limestone that I had sent
to a foundry to have two sides squared so I could use them to sand the floors with, "I got the idea for using
these stones to sand the floors from stories of the old sailing ships, they used some kind of stones to scrub
the wooden decks". The room was full of antique furniture, to top it off was Myrtle, She's a dress manikin
that we dressed in white lace from the 1920's, Pretty hat, long lace dress, high button shoes and gloves.
The only thing I kept when we moved to Fort Worth was Myrtle!

Heya Larry,

My Husband is Native American (not sure what that has to do with the grand scheme of things), but,....

Also not sure how this inter-connects, but I'll take a chance, what the hey, right?

Our families (more my mother than his) do not seem to "approve" "or even accept" of our lifestyle, ---which to him is keeping those roots alive, collecting all sorts of bits (weapons, clothing, and all sorts of books as well as meeting others),...and I not only "approve" but I encourage him to do this, to not lose his history, to surround himself with anything that reminds him of where he came from.

And while this is totally different, he accepts and encourages the "strange" things that make me feel better, comfortable, and happy,....and that includes my "old" music and "old" movies, the fact that I use "vintage" products (like Lifebuoy), that I don't dress "like other gals my age," and that I decorate the house, (be it our bedding, my clothing, pictures, furniture, old cookware, painted glass lamps, hand-crocheted shade pulls and arm rests, etc.) from years gone past.

I did this since I was a teen, (as did my Hubby), and our parents were convinced we were going through a "phase." Well 40 years later, these are the things that make us happy and feel good. We often get "modern" things to add to our home, (I feel like they're trying to change us, or they want us to incorporate more "modern" things in our lives).

The only thing missing is my very own Myrtle!! I would love one of those!! (one that adjust to various sizes, as I'd sure as heck use her too. I don't know where to find one. I want one that adjusts so I can put on my multiple vintage clothes and tailor them to fit me! Yeah, that would be so cool!

My MIL "gets it" more than anyone, (aside from my magnificent Husband that is!), and she's encouraging. My estranged Mother, however, (the handful of times we've seen each other in the past few decades) is full of criticisms about "why am I this way?" She proceeds to tell me how ineffective, and/or silly it is.

But my Nana and my Meme resonate with me loudly and I carry bits of them with me into my life. It's one of the many reasons I really don't want to communicate with her....

I know I look like I stepped out of a different era, and I know my Husband engages in some meetings that might leave others wondering. But to me, we're just being true to ourselves, and we're lucky enough to have found each other,--- partners who support and encourage what others may view as "too usual."

Thanks for letting me vent everyone!

red lights on every corner and "zoning laws", Im always in trouble with the city. Peace,
