I looked them up, and Mamanyt1953 is right. The lyrics are pretty ridiculous!

Growing up, we sang that song all the time and kids just loved the lyrics.

I hope it's not! Could it be from some of the other stuff that's been going on?

Everybody is sick over at mom's house. I guess her roommate's grandson gave us whatever this is. I don't know if it's covid or not. I was over there twice when the grandson was there. My nose will not stop running, now it's all red and sore from blowing it. I took some vitamins and one herb. Hopefully it will pass soon. I don't have time to be sick!

Sorry, I didn’t realize you were talking about single cup machines. No disposables that I know of for those. But when I used to use reusable cups for my Keurig, I had a dozen or so. If you let the grounds sit and dry in them for a day or two to dry out you can dump them right out and give them a quick rinse. So I had a container to set them in and I would wash them out in batches. Still a nuisance but easier than trying to empty when they are wet.

I found some that people were saying work in their single cup ones. I just need to spend a little more time to see if they will work for me too.

If you have a Keurig there are two kinds of pod mechanisms. The newest machines, which I unfortunately have now, pokes multiple holes in the top of the pod. The older machines, like the one I used to have, pokes only a single hole. You can buy reusable pods for both though. I have heard though that the reusable pods for the newer machines don’t work quite as well.

Oh boy. It's not a keurig brand. Just a Hamilton Beach FlexBrew. We're just happy we can remove the needle part from this one to clean it!

Yeah, not sure about those. If it is advertised to fit a kcup, probably a reusable one, the one hole kind, would work in it. But it might just be an design if it’s own.

This makes me feel so happy. She's lucky to have found you and you seem so dedicated to helping others.

If you have peppermint tea, brew it strong, throw a towel over your head and breathe it, then drink it. Add honey if your throat is sore. Get as much rest as you can. I hope you feel better!

Enjoy that party. You're already special to this family!

Boone has not learned the concept of "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line ". He will literally take the longest path to get somewhere. This is especially true when he is trying to get to the pillow on my bed that he sleeps on if I am laying in it. He will walk completely around me even if he is sitting at the end of the bed on the same side as his pillow. Or if he jumps up where my head is, instead of just walking over my pillow to get to his, he will walk around my entire body and come up the other side.

He sounds very considerate. Willow does take the shortest route - she just leaps over me and she is not a cat who is light on her feet. Sort of like someone dropping a bowling ball on your bed a couple times a night.

I bought the girls an inexpensive cardboard house a few months ago but they really never had much to do with it
because it was rickety. It did have some nice big scratch pads though so this morning I tossed the house and built a 17x 23 box for one set of the pads. It would be nice if they would use it instead of my carpet.

I bought my cats the tan & green house you have in your pic. They hated it and wouldn't even go in it. I threw it away.

I got Mooch a cute little cardboard gingerbread like house we put by the Christmas tree a few years ago. She didn’t use it much until recently when DS put it on the couch without the scratcher base. He was also covering it with blankets so I’m sure she was liking the extra comfort and toastiness!

She’s obviously quite spoiled!!

It hasn’t been used often but I am trying to set up various hideouts for Willow in the event she ever decided to come out of the closet during the day.
