Let's talk.

I have actually heard that rhyme before. lol

 

Ring a ring of roses
.....

 

Is this a Mordor thing?

 

Another you don't know???

 

I'm being silly. You must be speaking of a pocket full of poses.

 

But

Ring a Ring o Rosie, we all fall dead?
Since the 1960s, but not before, it has often been said that the nursery rhyme Ring a Ring o Rosie is about the bubonic plague in England.

Ring-a-ring o' roses,

A pocket full of posies,

A-tishoo! A-tishoo!

We all fall down.

The explanation goes that the roses refer to a rosy rash, which is said to be a symptom of the plague; that children would hold a posy of herbs to ward off the plague or its smell; and that sneezing is a reference to plague symptoms. "We all fall down" obviously points to ultimate death if the plague is contracted.

But these symptoms are mild compared to the actual onset of the plague, which doesn't involve a rosy rash. Furthermore, there are many versions of the rhyme, some of which don't refer to sneezing. "All fall down" probably just refers to the children's curtsy at the end of a game.

The nursery rhyme was first written down in Kate Greenaway's 1881 edition of Mother Goose. At that time, ideas about its origins pointed to pagan beginnings.

Similar singing games in German (Ringel, Ringel, Rosen), Dutch (Roze, Roze, Meie), and Italian (Gira, Gira Rosa) seem to support that hypothesis.

 

OMG! It's Satanism!!

 

Old King Cole was a merry old soul .....

 

I proposed this to multiple government agencies; both in my state, locally in our district, and to the White House (both President and Vice President):

"Adult internet content mitigated at the internet service provider level.

While parents can implement a DIY strategy (“do it yourself” strategy) to advising children about their web viewing, and husbands and wives can come to their agreements about what is and isn’t permissible for the relationship in terms of websites on the internet and what constitutes infidelity on their own terms and according to them, we cannot address the problem at the service provider level.

Temptation has too long characterized the internet.

What I would like to see happen is a legislative intervention. This should have been thought of before, which means whoever introduces it will likely need to explain why it wasn't…

I want a mandated “opt in/opt out”. I want the service provider to be required to explicitly offer to disable any adult content, and for there to be a system for regulating what is and isn’t by government.

I would like there to be an open dialog with Bill Gates or Apple or Google. I would like there to be transparency from the outset.

Transparency and accountability have long since been missing from this equation. Our spirituality, eye contact, and casual interaction (from point-of-sale cash registers where **inserting** one’s debit card becomes a focal point for social commentary!), have suffered the guilt and temptation too long.

We deserve a remedy. We deserve to know that for many years we were underrepresented in this regard and that the moral integrity of our government recognizes and understands the need for change in this direction. We must be morally congruent in our lives with the expectations of our peers, employers, love interests, and accountable to our faith and devotion if we believe that. No temptation should stand between us and love.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,"

I absolutely agree with that Soul.
We do now make sure nobody is underage on HIP. This is something that has improved HIP.

 

After months of pondering my spirituality, and after concluding that I was prepared (if accepted by my lover) to convert to Islam and be Muslim proudly and faithfully, I noticed a few things in my abstract vernacular...

There are four minarets on a mosque (unless it's just that I've only seen mosques with four minarets), and there are three of the Holy trinity in Christianity.

While it's true that I inadvertently noticed this, my feelings about abstract consciousness are firm. I hate it.

I couldn't be more bored with it.

But I remember when I first noticed it and paid attention to it. It was in 1996 the first time I took LSD. Abstract thoughts like whoa!

 

Mary had a little lamb,
his feet were black as soot,
and everywhere the lamb did tread,
he put his sooty foot.

 

Soul you know I support you, no matter what.

 

My mother says the same...

 

Ok I can be your forum Mum. Lol

 

Exactly how long is a piece of string and also what colour?

 

Why do people say how long is
is a of piece of string?

Phrase. How long is a piece of string? (colloquial, often humorous, rhetorical question) Used as a response to a question such as "How long will it take?" or "How big is it?" when the length or size is unknown, infinite, variable, or relative.


Sometimes a simple question deserves a simple answer: “A piece of string is twice as long as half its length”. This is a brilliant answer… if you have its length.

 

Good answer!

 

How do I know when I have had enough?
