The next one.....weeeeee!!!

Judy...did this rain get to you. A light rain would really help the burned out areas

So....how many times do you have to post to CP??

Dorthea: I wonder if you are allergic to a chemical in its powerful scent?

NURSERY-RHYME FORENSICS
The unfortunate Miss Moffet was born under the Sign of the Spider, which has now been horoscopically banned as being too scary. The stars of the constellation were all packed in boxes and sold as ornaments; called Christmas lights; for Christmas trees, and the other constellations had more room to spread out. Miss Moffet, rather than being a mere cursory nursery figure, has been the subject of great poetic; sometimes bawdy; attention; even from academics at the ‘varsity. This is because of her epic life-event when a spider shared her tuffet and scared her living Christmas daylights into her knickers. A tuffet is a makeshift seat; perhaps a stool (chair) or mound (of ass-grass); being ‘makeshift’ simply because it can be shifted about. From her case, her psychiatrist invented a whole new condition called arachnophobia, about which films have since been made. Some sceptical (=skeptical;alt.) historians have recently re-opened the Miss Moffet saga by suggesting that the whey she was then consuming contained way too much psychogenic contaminant such as would induce a panic attack; even hallucinations. However one eminent zoologist considers that a venomous spider spat a poison akin to ergot-extract into the whey, in which model the spider is regarded as real and as remaining ultimately responsible for Miss Moffet objections, her need to run off to wash her underwear, and her abandoning of her tuffet as a mysterious Marie Celestey object. That tuffet, although badly stained from her induced accident, can be visited at the National Spider Museum. Thus the life of the spider; although it is now long dead after being swallowed by a bird; still hangs by its thread as academics struggle to resolve this intriguing debate, by trying to unravel a legendary web of truth, untruth, and morning dewdrops. Dewdrops themselves are also subject to scrutiny as potential carriers of toxin. That is because this horrific incident occurred close to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, at which time people had not yet developed any immune tolerance at all to the various chemical effluents to which they were newly ex(ggs)posed. One of the eggs, named Humpty-Dumpty posed on a wall and fell off, but I am of the firm belief that Humpty Dumpty was pushed.

Rayray - I don't know if its the scent or not. My husband was affected by the the scyamore tree in the front yard, but that doesn't bother me. (darn spell check. Where is it?)

Dorthea: From what I recall, sycamores, like their close relative the maple, exude sugary nectar when they flower suggesting insect pollination; in which case the pollen might be heavy and not wind-carried to cause allergies. Is your husband's allergy all the year round or linked to the flowering period?

Dave - Rayray's mousertation is on page 3 of yesterday's posts, 12:22 pm

Dave, you just missed it with 4. Blame Judy.

Val! Have a scrumptious day!

Good luck, Nola.

Best of luck, Nola, keep us posted! The wind is picking up again here, although it is up in the 40's. I think I'll try to put out some Christmas decorations before it turns cold again!

I am late today

APPY - I know Khaled, he's very popular in France. Haven't got a clue what he's on about either, but fun song all the same!

2:16. It certainly looks like a wattle to me.

We went to see Elton John last night - an outdoor concert and unfortunately it rained the entire time with a couple of electrical storms thrown in! An enjoyable night that would have been so much better without the rain.

Belated Birthday Wishes Jan,Serena,and Linda hope you all had a great day.Thank you all for the wonderful Birthday Wishes Rosemary, Wangaratta, André, England,Rayray, Yorkshire,Kathy, Valrico, Dave, Oregon,Jane, St Simons Island GA,Judy, San Diego,Ruby,Ruby SC. Nola hope all goes well with your test.

Thank you all for the good thoughts. It worked! Tests turned out good. :)

Good to hear Nola.

Great news, I was just about to wish you luck Nola (it's only 7:22 am here)

Kathy - many thanks for the Washington Post extract (which we very rarely see here). I hope soon to stop rolling around the floor, laughing.

Good Maen to all,
7 am on the Gold Coast and looks like a nice day coming today.
Welcome to Suchagoodthang....

Nola

Glad to hear the tests were OK Nola.
Looks like it will be a good day in the Redlands too. Time to take Bella for a walk before it gets too hot!

Should have read all the posts first!
Excellent news Nola.

Val, a very to you.

Nola
GOOD LUCK

3.05 It certainly looks like a wattle but the leaves are unfamiliar.
You are right MizT, wattle does get a bad rap! Hubby and son are suffering at the moment but the wattle finished flowering over a month ago. I was always told it's not the wattle people are allergic too, it's the eucalypts. Whatever is affecting my son is doing a good job. He has ended up with allergic conjunctivitis. Gosh I'm glad he doesn't live at home anymore! One suffering male in the house is enough!

Gday Jano, good to see you. Hope you are well.

Val/Bolton - to you! I hope you have had a great day!

Jano - Hello!
