I will let you know how successful it is. My therapist was very helpful. I explained it in a post here to Lyn.

If the leprechaun is around. Remind him he owes me 20 bucks and I still have his horse with no name.
Do you also have phantom pain in your leg?
Spoiled sport!Very funny, but none of them are likely to be true, I'm sorry to say.
1. There was never any such law. The Rule of Thumb was likely a rough measurement of goods sold.
2. No. It is likely the word 'golf' originates from the Scots word 'goulf' meaning to cuff or hit. Which itself comes from the Dutch 'kolf'; a club or bat. The first woman player known was in 1552 and it was much later that men forced women out and some smarty-pants created the acronym GOLF for Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden as a joke.
3. No. The phrase is first recorded from 1866, long after bed ropes had been replaced by springs.
4. No. It is probably just from the idea that the first month (moon) of marriage is the sweetest.
5. Charles Churchill 1763.
"On all occasions next the chair,
" He stands for service of the mayor,
" And to instruct him how to use,
" His As and Bs, and Ps and Qs.
It just means to learn ones alphabet.
6. No. First mentioned in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales", but probably much older, your 'whistle' was a name for your throat and if you had a dry thoat you would wet your whistle.
7. No. First mentioned in print in "Hobson's Choice" 1916. It just means an audacious theft as opposed to a safer crime committed during the hours of darkness.
8. There is no evidence to support this. Probably from the Romani word 'posh' which meant half and 'posh-kooroona' was half a crown, a lot of money back then.
Sorry to be a spoilsport, but I love etymology.
But I'll smile on Friday.
Now I'm really confused. We have two members with very similar names - Ellymae and Elliemay. My head hurts.

Spoiler: My Critters
Perhaps I should change my name to Elliemai.
wow! Does anyone get the fact that this mosquito lived a million years ago?
How wonderful to see it looks freshly made.
???
One million?
Nah, this is from the Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation, so is Eocene, about 50 million years old.
As is this speciemen :
Well.... there be no wind in my sails.... ???Very funny, but none of them are likely to be true, I'm sorry to say.

I noticed that a while back! I had to chastise @Chubbs the tegu for incorrect spelling . Didn’t want him summoning the wrong person to his Racy Jokes ?
NO. At least right now I can say I was here first.. ?

I realized that too, at first I thought EllieMay (I’ve got the right person, that makes me automatically better then Chubbs ha!) had just changed her profile pic, then I looked at the amount of messages and I was like, that can’t be right.

I saw him do that once, I don’t think he can read properly. He calls me golden, but my username is obviously Golden Greek Tortoise 567!?
Thank you so much
I love the update. Steady is gorgeous. And I never ever tbought that Rig dog would be going anywhere. ??Well the trip to the vet was uneventful.. they drew 5 tubes of blood to send off to the equine lab for analysis. Regular exam says he’s doing great... I have him on a complete feed with a weight booster but he’s not as thick as I’d like yet. I can’t exercise a whole lot yet with the heat and my allotted time frames but we do some. We should get the results back next week. View attachment 304672View attachment 304673View attachment 304674
And just an update on Rig Dog..... she’s doing great! She’s very playful now and will speak for your attention.. she will bark at Duke until he consents for a little playtime. While we did put her on an adoption list, I really don’t think she will be going anywhere
I love Heathers one better. ??Very funny, but none of them are likely to be true, I'm sorry to say.

Thats okay. Sometimes false facts are nice to know too.Hmmm.
Interesting and fun, yes.
Sadly, all false.
It must have been.
Me too.
