> [@EmilyG](#): > > Well, the original version (with just me singing and playing ukulele) [is on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYCvKQa7fSM). I warn you, though, I’m not good at singing. Neat song! You ain’t bad singing either. I hear a lot worse in the pews around me every Sunday — which makes me wonder if thats why they call them pews. ---

**doggio** even though you’re probably already at it, appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed re the promotion. I am in the midst of a most tedious as well as boooooooooooring task. I am updatin’ most-in-need and waiver factors for all current participants. It’s every bit the excitatement it sounds like it would be. _YAWN_ Oh well, back at it. The sooner it’s done, the sooner I can ummm… find another task equally booooooooooorin’. 😃 ---

Huh, stoopid thing removed my Happy Birthday Spaz! edit. Am doing job type applications today. I hates them; provide details of a specific situation which demonstrates your skill and knowledge of partnering. Well, I’m better at initiating partnering when under the influence of alcohol, is that what they want to know? ---

Back from erranding, and the sun has finally burned thru the fog and overcast. I’ve got the start of a pot of veggie-beef soup simmering - beef, celery, onions, broth, seasonings and a glug of burgundy. I’ve set a timer for when I need to start adding veggies, and the last thing to go in will be barley. At WalMart, I stopped at the used bread rack and got some interesting-looking rolls to go with the soup. They appear to be braided, and they’re kinda hard, so they should be good with soup. We shall see. I also got some bright yarns. Last Easter, I crocheted bunnies to sell at the store. This year, I’m going to crochet little baskets with little bunnies in them. I just need to find my bunny pattern and figure out a basket pattern - or I could look on line and see if someone else has worked one out for me. 😃 I’m going to get started on that - I’d like to have maybe a dozen by the beginning of March. So, onward!! ---

N.O.L. has been consumed. Leftover kielbasa 'n cabbage from Tuesday’s dindin. That ought be enough to get folks to leave me alone this afternoon!😃 > [@flytrap](#): > > It beats digging ditches in the snow. 🙂 This is sig worthy! **Butters** ick! Hope you find a workin’ 'puter and whatever is wrong does get fixed soonest. **MOOOOOM** go on line and find a basket. Like I always say, ain’t nuttin’ much new, so steal shamelessly. **Midget** yay for sellin’ sheet music! **Nuts** that answer is sure to get you hired. Go on, say it. **doggio** hee! That really did make me LOL. ---

Butters, what is up withe PCs? What are the symptoms? In a similar vein, the router with our new modem became very cranky. At 6:00 I reset it and, as my Mentor told me years ago, “go for the defaults” and let the router pick out it’s configuration. All is still well, I am informed. Otherwise, Mrs. Plant and Stepdaughter (v.3.0) would probably have killed me when I got home from work. ---

Happy birthday, Spaz!\*\*\*\* **butters** , :covering eyes: see no evil. 😃 Good luck, **doggio**! **nuts** , my dentist lets me pick out the color of the gimme toothbrush. 🙂 **Emily** , I like your song. I could picture it as the theme for a TV show. It’s cold here today. I spent part of the morning with IT trying to get my network printer defaults restored. It’s more of a PITA than a hinderence, but no one seems to know how to do it. ---
