[Carol]

Good idea.

[Jan]

Debbie it was nice in the house with the sun streaming in through the window, but I have to be honest it was very cold when I went for a walk outside, so I've written another poem:

There was a cold South wind blowing when I went out today
You always know its cold when the birds hide away
Although the sun was shining and the clouds had blown away
There was a cold,cold,South wind blowing from Antarctica today.

[Jan]

Just wondering, does "Willy" mean the same in American slang as it does in Aussie slang? New, you said Willy being free and all and I couldn't help thinking...I hope he's not still on that roof that I read about on another L&G thread...

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

Hahahahahaha!!!!

[Ken, Moderator]

Free Willy is a movie about helping an orca whale (I think it is) escape from a sea aquarium to the open sea.

In Australia, it's a cult film. Oh. It's also one of Bill Clinton's cult favorites.

[Jonathan]

But of course.

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

I guess that answers your question Jan!

[Robin]

Yup,I guess so.

[Jan]

This information is not new. Obviously Kiwis comprehend the double entendre. Morning Debbie!

[Jan]

Sorry, good afternoon Debbie....you're so far ahead of the pack!

[Ken, Moderator]

You'll find her at the head of the class -- which used to be the name of a board game.

[Jan]

Bored with this game? Never!

[Ken, Moderator]

Ha. We've discussed at length the Bored of Education.

[Jan]

Take Deb out of bored and you've got an alternative.

[Carol]

Take her or leave her huh. Never!

Also the name of a show with Howard Hessman who also was on WKRP in Cincinnati. Good show.

[Ken, Moderator]

Oh, yeah. I might recall that (or not... I'm pretty dim on all things TV).

[Robin]

it wasn't that spectacular of a show. WKRP was though.

[]-[olden]

Is an introduction really necessary?

[Julian]

Hullo. I am new. I love words, grammar, languages, etc.

[Carol]

Welcome Emmie to the far side.

Benjamin I suppose you don't have to introduce yourself, so welcome to Benjamin whose introduction is really not necessary.

[Robin]

I never introduced myself either, I jumped right in, I guess no formalities are required here.

[Carol]

Helloooooooo Robin. Happy landings.

[Ken, Moderator]

Introductions are nice, but not required. Sometimes your participation speaks for itself, and we get to know you anyway. Then there's always those fool profiles where we get to show off our creativity.

For instance, Ben (but not Franklin) is still in high school at age 32. That's cool. And he's a fantasy fan. Down with that. And a runner. REALLY have to admire that (I'm anticipating my weekly 10-mile trail run tomorrow after missing it for a couple of weeks due to a funeral and such truck).

Hello Emmie! Your profile is even more revealing. I love privacy. I loathe Google and Facebook and all those things that rack up the private information for safe (theirs and _______'s?) keeping.

And hello again, Robin. 'Bout time you came bobbin' along here (I trust you remember Dino Martin with the martini glass forever in his hand).

And hey there, Kitty. Let us know more about yoursel... oh. It's you. Veteran with a capital "V." Thanks for womanning the Welcome Wagon!

[Carol]

Welcome NE. Debs are we getting close to a party?

[Robin]

Thanks, Kitty, Meow. I think I did come down back to earth after I said Goodnight and it was a Goodnight. I did get some shut eye. And New, can I call you that I do remember Dean Martin with his martini glass singing that song, please don't start with Rockin' Robin, I hated that song growing up, even MJ version.

[Carol]

"Oh Carol" hated that song still do.

[Robin]

Yes, I wish songwriters wouldn't use peoples names in their songs, esp. Rosanna, that one is like a wormhole in my brain.

[Carol]

I thought Robins liked worms?LOL

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

Welcome Benjamin and Emmy.......just checking out party central.....

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

....we are up to 945.....my estimate of 'by Christmas' may need revising at this rate.....could be just a matter of weeks rather than months! Bags NOT blow up the balloons!

[Robin]

Carol (Kitty) wrote: "I thought Robins liked worms?LOL"

Yes, I believe they do, but I don't like Rosanna the song either, I was just nodding in agreement, or commiserating what have you.

[Robin]

And Debbie hi to you to, you overlooked me. I am merely standing in the corner, out of everyone's way.

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

But I already know you Robin! You have been here a while now!

[Carol]

This is her formal introduction.

[Robin]

Yes I have. Just wanted to be included. No harm intended.

[Carol]

No harm done we are being silly. This is comedy central Robin , every now and again we throw in something serious. LOL

[Robin]

I know,my thin skin is showing. I have not been on something like this before, I used to just take the trivia and quizzes and I just discovered that I can get invited into the various groups. Thanks for making me feel welcome.

[Carol]

Shucks ma'am you're doing fine.

[Robin]

Thanks, my you are all like a soothing cup of hot cocoa on a cold fall day

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

:-)

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

....but Never saccharine.....bleccchhh!!

[Robin]

but of course, real sugar all the way, and whipped cream on my iced coffee in the a.m.

[Ken, Moderator]

Strictly a black coffee guy, here. Well, with cacao nibs thrown in, sometimes.

[Carol]

Gotta have the Slenda if I want suga'

[Robin]

Black yeech too many coffee grounds end up at the bottom of the mug. Must be to get the caffeine in your system ASAP

[Carol]

Aw you can eat chocolate coated coffee beans for that.

[Robin]

I guess, they have a wonderful Kona coffee beans that are wonderful.

[Jan]

Don't like coffee
Don't like tea
It's a lemon herbal cuppa for me!

[Robin]

I like peppermint tea, especially if I have a cold and also a dollop of honey for good measure.
