Good morning everyone.
Merling was named after Merle. Dexing was named after Dex (Now gone) and Ted was named after his Father |

Does Merling Day happen the same day every year? Look forward to hearing from Merle No, don't think so!  "Merling" is a verb made up (as far as I am aware) and it means no more, no less, than 'Merle' has posted on this forum! There was a time, if I remember rightly, when I was the only female in this team, so they "the 'boys'" could do and say more or less anything they liked, without getting much 'flack' from me (as I was very busy trying to hold my head up high, and also think of something 'rude' to say to them!). However, 'old age' has caught up with me now, and I don't have the 'oomph' to fight back, so they just get away with anything they want now!! Maybe it is your turn now to have a go at them!! |

Thank you, Merle, for this clarification.
I thought it was a distinct annual shopping day. So it is "Merle posting". Very good. No, I shall try not to get on thin ice with this lot - for once I chicken out - they (and you, too) are too, too, smart for this mermaid So what did you do on your outing yesterday, Merle? |

As is the way of languages they change meaning in use
----------------------------------------Take, Wicked it used to mean Evil ,But is now used by younger folk to mean something good "That new Red Susie Alto is Wicked" My understanding of The Word "Merle" a Verb is ; to Merle, I Merled, Merling. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. to shop, I shopped, Shopping. all terms for Retail therapy. As Merle so rightly said At one time she was the lone feminine voice therefore the expert consultant On the subject. We all will remember the saga of the choice of Tiles for her new Kitchen But Her persistence paid off ending up with the right ones . But maybe we have it wrong and to Merle means to post ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by densnaps at Jul 12, 2011 5:12:29 PM] |
