MK forum

Just to clarify on the name of the Camel. Hell O'Tosis is a play on the medical term for bad breath (halatosis ?sp), which camels are renown for. The camel is a symbol for an MK struggling with their load and faith (hence getting through "the eye of a needle gate" instead of through the Pearly Gates), not an analagy of Jesus (who I would of course not give such a name, even my humour doesn't go that far!)
I've also been asked very insightfully, is Hell O'Tosis a Middle Eastern or Wild Australian Camel? As he really is a figment of my "strange" immagination, he can be whatever he wants to be, but a review of the evidence might give thee some clues. He doesn't answer questions, he isn't wearing a tea towel on his head and he mumbles and grumbles about the load he is carrying, therefore I think it is safe to assume he is in fact a . . .

Mrs Bemused and I were looking at some of her childhood photos recently and found one of her two older siblings riding horses and Mrs Bemused riding Betsy.
Betsy was an interesting horse, because she was a house cow. Money was tight, so the horses were Mrs Bemuseds fathers work animals and Betsy was the milk provider. Please note at this point in time Mrs Bemused was actually a young Miss X, as she had never even heard of Bemused, who was in foreign lands, but not riding horses or house cows.

The point of the story is sometimes it is nice to look back at happy memories, even when things were not as affluent as they are now. And as I'm sure Betsy would say, then one can "mooooo ve on" with a smile .

As a child we had dogs, cats, horses, chickens....


Now, only some fish.

In Tole?
It's in the mountains, right.
