How handy to have a spell or two at one's fingertips. I'm going to tell my horsey friends about the one fo curing horses? I don't think Shack could manage the English translations, much less the original German, though.<br /><br />Thanks again OMN.<br /><br />J.G. - We tried a little Ogden Nash. He wasn't buying. I thought limericks too, but I can't think of one that isn't x-rated. I would google it but I am scared to see what would turn up. Maybe I'll try "clean limericks" and see what turns up.<br /><br />Hi Deb - I will keep my eyes open. If anything comes my way I'll try to grab it for you.Kim Velkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729808121762572706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10709507.post-27869900095368915202011-01-06T22:23:59.552-05:002011-01-06T22:23:59.552-05:00good luck to both of you for your endeavors! i agr...good luck to both of you for your endeavors! i agree about the limericks.<br /><br />got a question totally off this subject - do you ever see any couture or 1930's, 40's patterns in your vintage/antique quests?<br />if so, would you send me a note about the locations? i have the mont-peculiar sister take a look....<br /><br />deborah@deborahpipes.com<br /><br />stay warm!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10709507.post-57004642988955163232011-01-06T14:31:56.142-05:002011-01-06T14:31:56.142-05:00What about limericks?
