Cuddle Up A Little Closer, Lovey Mine
Words by Otto Harbach, Music by Karl Hoschna --- 1898

On the summer shore, where the breakers roar
Lovers sat on the glist'ng sand
and they talked of love, while the moon above
and the stars seemed to understand.
The she grew more cold, and he grew more bold,
Till she thot that they had better go
But altho' he heard, he not even stirred,
only murmured in tones soft and low

Cuddle up a little closer, lovey mine,
Cuddle up and be my little clinging vine.
Like to feel your cheek so rosy,
Like to make you comfy cozy
"Cause I love from head to toesy, Lovey mine.

Cuddle up a little closer, lovey mine,
Cuddle up and be my little clinging vine.
Like to feel your cheek so rosy,
Like to make you comfy cozy
"Cause I love from head to toesy, Lovey mine.

My first job was working with 80 column cards. A few years later, IBM came out with 96 column cards. These cards were less than half the size of the 80 column cards.

It did take some getting used to the tiny things.

Back Atchya!

[Darksheare]

Jen!
(Been meandering around. Up to 'no good' as usual for me.)

[Darksheare]

We have three set up.
And darn if the cats DON'T go out of their way to throw litter everywhere with a vengeance.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you, Bob, that's very nice.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Yes I've heard that they are trying to dig to China. Must not be enough cats there.

We have covered boxes but they still get litter on the floor.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I'm glad you're not so exhausted, for you and for us, we get to see more of you now!

[Darksheare]

I think they use shovels and trowels when we aren't watching.
The missus' cat doesn't seem to know what to do withclumping litter.
He hops straight up and down in it as if it's a toy.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I think the extreme digging is all for show, like maybe my cat wants the whole box dumped and new litter added to the whole thing. When the box needs scooped he'll come in the bathroom with me and sit in front of the box and stare in it but not go in. They have ways of communicating to us.

[Darksheare]

We have a cat thatis soprissy that he won't touch the litterbox if another of the cats has been near it.
He'll go outside in the nice 'clean' dirt..

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Considering what is in the box, the dirt is 'clean'!

[Darksheare]

But I'd just changed teh litter, and teh other cat merely checked to see ifI did.
The prissy cat sneered at me because the other cat checked the box.
In his view, the litter box was 'defiled' byy teh mere act of the other cat looking at it.
*chuckle*
and I do see his point about the nice 'clean' dirt.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Sounds like the prissy cat is very territorial...*don't even LOOK at my litter!*

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

HI OESY, I SEE YOOOUUU! (Well, I almost see you...)

[JustAmy]

LOL

Thanks for the cute topical poem.

We are happy that you stopped by today. Hope you have a terrific Thursday.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Good one, Mayor! Thank you!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Oops! That ain't you, that's Fred St. John! Sorry!

[Darksheare]

He's also very..
He seems ot think we're funny looking, if defective, cats and will present us with live gifts to 'help' us stop being defective cats.
He so far has presented us with live rabbits and birds, inside the house, so that we may hone our hunting skills under his tutelage.
