Unforgettable...though near or far....

:-/

Started Nat before Dean happened!
I'm flexible though!!

((((((((( ILTV ))))))))))

I like the rules.
It's missing 'feed the critters' though. Just sayin'....

Anonymous G said...

That's why darling it's incredible ....


Lalalaaaa :)

english inukshuk said...

tum-ti-tum-ti-tum. . .

Unforgettable that's what you are,
Unforgettable tho' near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me,
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more...
Unforgettable in every way,
And forever more that's how you'll stay. . .


(-:

Mel said...

...That's why darling, it's incredible....
That someone so unforgettable...
Thinks that I am unforgettable too....


:-)

Don'tcha just love it.....

Mel said...

I believe that's rule #2.

JUST sayin'.....

Mel said...

(((((((((( ILTV ))))))))))))

<-- picked up shoes and put them away

Well......that's not true.
Picked up ONE pair of shoes and put 'em away.

It's a start! :-/

Mel said...

Well, shoot.

I'm messin' with some of the rules.

Go figure that. Me. Messin' with rules.....

Mel said...

I was doing really, really, really good.
And then himself mentioned a sore toe--and needing me to go to the grocery store.
Me.

In the grocery store.

ME.

Yeah--there went multiple rules, straight out the window.....

:-/

Can I have coffee, please?
A big mug.
<-- NEEDS a big mug tyvm

Mel said...

Happy October!

Okay, so I missed the first day...I was in a punkin field, monitoring a small child who was trying to pick up pumpkins three times her size.
She's as greedy as I am. LOLOL

katherine. said...

Hey you...how is everything?

Mel said...

Anonymous said...

Being grateful is good. Also laughing at anything - myself will do as an inexhaustible source of amusement.
No whining though - I like an occasional whine.
And cleaning up after myself - yes, myself and how many other selves? (well I'm not going to whine right now)

Mel said...

*laughing* I'll take her whine and she can pick up shoes from the hallway.

I tripped on those suckers this morning......
No worries--no coffee was spilt during that one! :-)

Mel said...

<-- sharing

It's on the list!

:-/

english inukshuk said...

(-:

*waves*

<---- somewhat sidetracked. . .

how did that happen?

flea infestations (I blame the hot weather)(and the cats), leaking parts of the house (wish I could find something to blame for that!)(wish I could find the leak!!), demanding children (I dunno, one goes off to college and the other two decide to ramp it up), sick ex-spouses (I blame the scuba-diving trip to Africa and the fact men don't like going to the doctor), and and and

seems I doing a lot of blaming and not much taking responsibility - now you know why I've spared you. . .

. . .but, at least I have my health. . .

A B C D E F G H I. . .
I'm always a flop at a top-notch affair,
but I've still got my health, so what do I care?
My best friend, alas, is a glass solitaire,
but I still got my health, so what do I care?

By fashion and foppery, I'm never discussed.
Attending the opry, my box would be a bust.
I never shall have that Park Avenue air,
but I'm in such health, why should I care?

The hip that I shake doesn't make people stare,
but I got such health, what do I care?
The sight of my props never stops a thoroughfare,
but I still got my health, so what do I care?

Your face is your fortune, so some wise man spoke.
My face is my fortune, that's why I'm totally broke.
My ship ain't come in, but I grin while I bare
'cause I got my vitamins:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H
I still have my.
Got no diamonds, got no wealth.
I got no man, but I got my health.


Ms Midler is guaranteed to bring a smile to a face, eh

english inukshuk said...

Mel said...

Yes please! (-:

Fleas, huh?

College?! COLLEGE?!?!

Who said he could grow up that fast?!

Darn kids......

Mel said...

Fleas?!

Cats.
There's another reason I don't DO cats.
Well, that and they're......too much like ME, I've been told.
NOT that I pay attention to that.
And I've never had fleas.
Ty G-d!!

I can ACT like a louse sometimes though.
Probably counts, huh?
Greeeattttt!!!!! :-/

One very large cuppa coffee--please.
Black.

VERY black.

Mel said...

I know it's late
I know you're weary.......

(will now exit with a stuck tune)

Still had to check in --and check up on Horatio, dontchaknow.

Mel said...

One shouldn't have to deal with Joe Cocker for days on end.

Right.....straight on to the 'good morning song'!

Singin' in the Rain, dontchaknow.
Makes himself a bit--irritated.

*chuckling*

@\_/

(-;

coffee's on, brewing on the stove, mugs are freshly washed, biscuits ready for dunking, slices of cake ready for nibbling, the late afternoon sun is shining thru the windows (clean and sparkly), fire's on in the living room, cushions plumped on the sofa

who'd like to gather around and have a good old fashioned natter?

XXX

english inukshuk said...

(trick or treat in nine days? what - already? are you kidding!)

Mel said...

:-D

Eight days and counting!

Oh...and there's a fire in the fireplace!!

Vicus Scurra said...

Am I too late for coffee?
I yearn for you tragically.

Mel said...

Wow......

He talks so nice.

katherine. said...

I do like you an awful lot...but I yearn for coffee....

Mel said...

<-- is breaking the 'no whining' rule.

:-/

Mel said...

Yes, I know it's Thursday.

Yes, I know coffee happens on Friday.

I NEED COFFEE.
I NEED it to be FRIDAY.

\__/?

(oversized cuz I NEED coffee, tyvm)

english inukshuk said...

Mel and katherine. that's such a coincidence! I was just brewing some coffee and wondered if anyone wanted to join me!

Vicus I do so hope that yearning isn't a form of whining. . . how about a big hug? XXX

mig love the counting mug!

Anonymous said...

It's Friday!!!

Happy Almost Halloween!!

We made jack-o-lanterns.
Well, *I* made one--he made.....glowing thingies?

*shrugs*

Anonymous said...

Oh - Happy Halloween then!
xxx

Mel said...

Do ya know what a two year old says when she's passing out treats with grandad? "Happy Halloween!"
"No. My candy."
"Thank you."
"No. I want it."

I gotta practice saying YES with the little booger again.
YES is much more funner than NO. :-)

Mel said...

(__)]

Black.

Neat, ty.

No biscuity things. People dunk those, ya know.

*shudder*
That's just sick and wrong.....

Mel said...

AND....I fed Horatio.

He informed me he likes when you have treats--crumbs have a way of finding him.

You did know he talks, right? :-)

Mel said...

:-)

Sun's up--new day!!

And coffee is still being made.
k.....that's half true. Himself made french press for himself and I'm stealing it. :-/

I doubt he'll have a problem with that.
k....I know he'll have a problem with that but I'll do it anyway. LOL

english inukshuk said...

I'm still giggling over:

"Happy Halloween!"
"No. My candy."
"Thank you."
"No. I want it."

(-:

reminds me of the time that my first born answered the door and shouted "trick or treat?" at the line of small dressed up people hoping for candy. . . if they hadn't been so totally stunned by a 6'3" person in a V for Vendetta mask they'd probably have wet their pants

(-;

XXX

Mel said...

Ohhhhhh.....and one more rule!

I like that rule.

V for Vendetta mask, huh?

<-- had witchy hat

<-- not so scary

*laughing* I'm scarier withOUT the hat. ;-)

Mel said...

I'll have you know I'm 2 for 2 on this rule.

I'm rather proud of that one.
It's been hard work!

k.....maybe not HARD hard work, but still.

*laughing* I think I can be consistent with this rule!
The others?
Ummmmm...... yeah.....well.....ummmmmm.....

:-/

Mel said...

Did I mention snow?

Yeah, well, we had some. Couple inches--nothing to really get a good whine going over yet.
Although......himself tried. I'll give him credit for trying. LOL

I, on the other hand, made a trip to the dark recesses of the basement storage room looking for Mr. Snowman-in-a-bucket.
I found STUFF!!!

:-)

Forgot Mr. Snowman-in-a-bucket.
That just means another trip to the dark recesses of the basement storage room!

.....and discovering more STUFF!

<-- will take coffee!

Mel said...

*yawning*

(__)?

Black, ty.
It's Monday.
:-/

There was a weekend that happened, I know there was.
I think we should have back to back weekends every once in a while.

Or........maybe I just oughta consider a day off.
Whoa.......there's an idea! :-)

Mel said...

Do ya KNOW how crazy it's been?

Geeze, you'd think it was the holidays already.
Hardly.

*shaking head*

Can I have a cuppa coffee a day early, please?
No saucer required--a favored mug will do.
Paper cup, even. LOL

He's hummin' and singing and flipping on CD's and muttering and sputtering and saying rude things about inflatable 8 foot penguins.

How can you say rude things about Penfold the Penguin?
That's just wrong......
