sweet dreams

going to bed on time and I am three minutes slow.

It calls to my mind brown oxfords and white ankle socks.................

Well, now - to start with the beginning: what do we understand with the word "sensible"????

I like it, GlendaGrannyGoatLady! June from Northern England

Oh, PUH_LEEZE.....if we were Sensible People, would we be frequenting a Bizarre Bazaar such as Bonga-Bonga and Bugosiland....I mean, just how many Danish Masai have you seen running about?.....However, Magda_from_Switzerland_with_an_old_pumpkin, if you looking for a fun time with a lot of INTERESTING (though NOT sensible) PEOPLE from all over, you've come to the right place and we welcome you heartily...........

Glenda from Texas

Juneee, you are SO right, we are all sensible people here!!! - really!! Lela, wouldn't it be a fantastic thought?

young-at-heart-Halloween-thingy.........Don't be squared!.......
Hanne-with-pipe.......Well, possibly, maybe, perhaps you are a DANISH MASAI!!.......
juneee-was-shining.........are you sure? (hee-hee)......

you'll be fine, lots of sensible people here to look after you, would I tell you wrong?

Yes, I did get a bit scared (or is it squared?) when I saw some of the characters you frequent, but I am courageous, an d will continue, God help me!

Funny! She reminds me SO much about my mother's uncle's niece's daughter's sister!! Wonder if they could have been Masais?

Mr Squirt thank you for putting the www thingy in a place I could easily copy it in one go, usually I sit stabbing at it a dozen times before I get the beast isolated

Mr.LeSquirt......sweetlittleoldgranny assures me that the picture shows an old friend of hers - the oldest female albino in the Masai tribe.......

Oh, OK, you wanna be like that? Well, I wasn't going to mention this to anybody, but

HERE'S A CURRENT PICTURE OF octomom EVERYBODY:

www.jigidi.com/puzzle.php?id=AF2AJGUV

I've already written her and advised her not to believe a word he says.

Hee-hee close Lelabugs - you must have beautiful nurses on the brain...

The She-Shells-Shea-Shells verses reminded me of this Swedish tongue twister I was taught long ago. "Seven Sea-sick Seamen from the Ship Shanghai" is not just a tongue twister but a "shibboleth" - it is pronounced completely differently in different parts of Sweden. In one region the words all start with a kind of "hwhuh" sound instead of the usual "sh".

"Seven seasick seamen were cared for by seven beautiful nurses"....that's what I got!........

Sju sjösjukke sjömän från skeppet 'Shanghai'...

Oh no!!...That'll have frightened her off - she was apprehensive to start with (I didn't dare mention YOU)!!.........

OK, I just gave oldiepumpkin the STRAIGHT WORD over on octomom's Green Windmill puzzle.

harrumph, we were sure that beef was beef until last week

Juneee...I believe notdad simply enjoyed finding the shells.....both of them.....
precious-pebble.......I think she went barefoot!.......
She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I'm sure she sells seashore shells.................

Perhaps 'cause the shoes and socks were too big for her???

then why did Notdad just buy some from her instead of searching for 45 years for stuff

No.6-at-the-racetrack.......Yes, She sells shells on the seashore.......
Hanne-with-pipe........I will ask about the door!.....

Why!! She sells seashells...down at the sea shore....and she doesn't have sore, scabby soles.....

Who sells shells? I would like to buy the door, need it for my stone collection!!

So scintillating! Seriously, shall she sell some shells???

Oh dearie, you do complicate matters!......I shall leave a comment in a bit!..........

I fear my unsmiling tongue in cheek has gotten me once again in hot water. Please feel free to add any comments you'd like to introduce her to your puzzles.

While not as extensive as Bermuda-Boy's father's collection, this is unique in its own right. Kudos to Penny for keeping this collection in tip-top shape. My shell's off to you!

So am I Varda, speechless and breathless!! The most intriguing collection really, but the door!! The door is priceless!! Food? Why?

not like it chicken

I'm speechless.

With a side order of macaroni salad.

Mmmmmmm.......chicken. Seven herbs and spices, from the K the F and the C. And only 4.2 miles from my driveway. I'll be there in a few minutes, Colonel. Yummmmmmm.

Did someone mention chicken?........

Quite commendable. I see a chef's hat which has me thinking of food! Chicken or perhaps Pillsbury crescent rolls.

Dobbiel tells me that some of these shells were acquired in exchange for old socks, when his notdad ran out of shoes.........

It certainly appears to be a carefully collected and cared for collection.

Well, it is certainly a beautiful and impressive presentation....all carefully arranged haphazardly......
Yes, Bubba - the door is a real treasure......I believe it came from Dobbiel's notdad's outhouse......
As for the other shells, Dobbiel refuses to show anything involving firearms........

The only downside is that notdad has sore and scabby soles from being so short of shoes.....so sad........

Lela, so nice of you to display this outstanding collection on behalf of good friend Dobbie. Interesting to note that the display door is probably worth a small fortune! Shell oil is superb for these specimens and how nice that Penny devotes so much time to their welfare. I am IMPRESSED!!

Dobbiel, your notdad is a credit to his profession of peddling..... er, paddling, and his persuasiveness at procuring plenty of pretty shell specimens should surely make you proud!

David, David, poor soul, are you addled from being on Adumber* or confused for some more academic reason? It isn't that kind of shelling, dear heart, it's a completely different kind of shelling. It's the kind of shelling where you . . . . oh, go ahead, what the heck, stick with your original idea.

* Part of the island group of Adumb and Adumber.

Yes, david-many-numbers...my OH was just asking if there were any shells from WWII...perhaps they are in an adjoining room. I imagine they would be polished with elbow grease...

Oh, Thanks Lelabugs! I was looking for this world-class Shell Collection on the other side of the world: by mistake I was on the Island of Adumber, but all was in shadows...I should ought to have known that the place to be was Rebmuda, there's no place finer for Shelling, I heard the Commander of Field Artillery say so just the other day.

Hi mother-of-all-chickens!.........My notdad collected two of the little white ones over a 2-hour period (while paddling in the water's edge)........The rest took 45 years of hard bargaining, with old shoes (in all weathers).......

LOL That is quite a collection Dobbie. Which two did you collect yourself and how many years did it take?
