Hmm - that might be a code issue again -it's happened before when clicking 'quick edit' - please let me know if you see it again. Peter (Imhotep) will need to be contacted about that.
Thanks guys!

These code issues have happened before; it's a problem which we all abhor but dear Imhotep's touch seems to help us so much and our Lori will have him explore.

Back home after a few days away. I've decided not to use quote marks, rather <<these>> used in other languages, and see what happens. If anyone uses quotes, you may also consider an alternate, and note such in the posting. Mine show space, but that as a quote wouldn't have spacing. I'll rummage thru the character box on the word processor.
If Lori's exploring with I'm Hotep me's hoping that he isn't outa step. Those quotes seem an issue; help! I'm outa tissue. That code problem – put it to schlep!

If your heartbeat is better when slowed when you sit down and take off a load then I’d like to suggest it might be for the best if we all hibernate like a toad.

Like a toad we go off hibernating but next spring we'll have fun (all that mating!) Our heartbeats get faster, no need for a pastor! No mother-in-law scolding, berating.

If your mom-in-law scolds and berates let us hope when she's gone it abates, 'cause they say that the mom is what she will become; I'm just glad that I'm not in those straits!

In those straits? I am glad that I'm not for two marriages have gone to pot but it wasn't because of the Mother-in-laws; and I'm pleased with the one that I've got.

I am pleased with the one I have now forty-seven years now, and her chow isn't bad, though my weight is a bit on the great side; to lose I still have the know-how.

I still have my know-how to lose, and methinks that is very good nose. I know some won't care which is rather bizare, all the rest I will simply confose.

I still have my know-how to luse, and methinks that is very good nuse. I know some won't care which is rather bizare, all the rest I will simply confuse.

I need rest; I am greatly confused; it seems Merlin is way over-boozed, though he says otherwise. May we simply surmise that he needs to be bloody transfused?

Transfused and shocking, his needs – resulting from smoking those weeds. Both he and Mary Wanna and their pet iguana fly high at incredible speeds.

I've fallen behind once more so...
First an answer to Merlin's -
If corns fuse to your shoes, simply rest for the gain versus pain, I’ll attest isn’t worth the attempt and if you think you limped before then I would say that you jest.
Then Daniel's -
He need transfused with very thick blood just to counteract that toxic flood of the ale, wine and booze that he shouldn't abuse and has caused all this homonym crud..
and finally to continue the string, Merlin's last -
At incredible speeds Merlin flies; must be weed scientist's hybridize 'cause the last time I smoked things slowed down and I choked on some chips and a dozen fried pies.

You say that I jest, do you now? That's one thought I think I’ll allow but for the time being I'm heading out skiing with Molly who owns a landau.
What homonym crud is now served but I think that it's really deserved. The court's full of jesters and several protestors so far as I have observed.
If Chips made a dozen fried pies and sold them so guys get their highs, he could make lots of dough for Ray, Mi and Yo and he might even start a franchise!

Molly owns a landau and each winter adds long runners beneath in the center so she’ll slide to the slopes full of amateur dopes and with Merlin, they’ll each have a grinner.
So far you have observed some protestors and also a whole court-full of jesters. Are they here in this forum where proper decorum can fade with three Limerick questers?
If he starts a franchise and he might then he’s probably in for a fight if not fat-free, organic, non-gluten; they’ll panic and though he embarks, they won’t bite.

That Merlin is some kind of grinner, and others think he's a real winner! His words, full of wisdom upset the whole system; his Limericks, well, they are a spinner.
They've faded, thee ole Limerick questers, some joined their departed ancestors. What's left is but three who now keep up the spree while waiting with welcoming gestures.
Although he de-barks, he don’t bite but I tell ya, that doesn't seem rite cuz the scars here will prove he's left many a groove on my bumpkin, and just outa spite!

When you’re spinning your Limericks well you’ve arrived when the others set sail but some turns in your phrases just simply amazes and following them leaves one pale.
All your gestures of welcome can wait ‘cause there’s nobody there at the gate wanting to be let in; I mean, where’d they begin and they’ll probably post them too late.
Out-ta spite your old bumpkin is grooved? I’d surmise that it should have been moved to one side or the other, perhaps a bit further ‘till chance that disaster improved.

Foll'wing you two could loose a guy's pate which is why my post is a bit late. I'll compact my response to all three and write once so disaster's no chance to create.

No chance to create a disaster? Our posting is getting much faster with such eloquent wit, each makes a good fit; some pateses become alabaster.

Whose pasties became alabaster? Did she switch from just 'fast' to 'much faster'? Is that kind of a girl one whom you'd give a whirl? Have you changed from 'I'd like' to 'I haster!' ?
