1. She must be the oldest one here, As she's in her ninetieth year, Her posts are prolific, We think she's terrific, She's someone that we hold so dear. 2. What to show? she has to decide, Her evil or innocent side? Injustice she hates, Gets into debates, A fun gal, that can't be denied. 3. He's Irish, your heart he may rend With beautiful words he has penned, Of far away places Which form the basis Of tales which you wish would not end. 4. This beautiful star loves vacations, Has travelled to many locations, She loves her church, And she likes to search The past, for distant relations. 5. This home-schooling mother of four, Tells tales of her chickens galore, She has a liking For kayaks and hiking, Loves paintings and art that's for sure. 1.@Hatley. 2. @I Am Evil.(now known as DJ or Daljinder) 3.@xFiacre. 4.@BelleStarr. 5.@Platespinner. It has been suggested by @theSids that I add the @ to the names in order make them easier to find. so I've edited to do that. Photo - another of my begonias. This is the 4th in this series, and if you'd like to see the others just click on the tag 'Miscellaneous MyLotters' above the title.

You've done it again! I'm afraid I recognised only two. What delightful eulogies or cameos which introduce us to people we sometimes haven't known much about!

@owlwings High praise indeed, thank you. If these little rhymes enable you and others to know the subjects better, I'm very happy.

Yes yes I know - @Hatley - She is my icon here. And she is so very loving and caring. She is really dear to many of us here if not all of us. And the reason she is my icon - well, at her age, not many have that zest, lively enthusiasm and energy. And as I come from India, I also know not many (or rather, barely any) at her age have any idea of what computers can do for them. And #2 I am Evil ( @Daljinder ) - She knows what she is into, and she is my newest friend. I have loved being on her discussions. #3 xFiacre - I love reading whatever he writes. I love his style of writing. You are quite right - some of his stories, I never want them to end. As for the others, I havent met them so definitely I seem to be interested. On another note, I would suggest that you use their ids also so that finding them becomes easier.

@thesids Regarding your last point - I didn't want to seem to be calling them to my post (hey look - I'm writing about you!). I hadn't thought about helping people to find them, so I will edit it . Thank you for the suggestion, but the names don't go blue when they are in a post. I'm happy that you know three of my choices so well.

@jaboUK The names get linked only when preceeded by the @ (at) symbol. I think if the ids are used without the @ prefixed, they will not send out any messages. Glad that I could contribute here with my suggestion.

@hereandthere Yes, the people I'm writing about will be notified, but I wanted to make it easier for people who don't know them to be able to find them. They'll just have to copy/paste on the names.

Well ok @jaboUK I won't. It's really fun to try to figure out who the limerick is about ... it also gives me an idea just how differently we perceive each other.

@jaboUK I already have said to you that your limericks can be made into children poetry book. Whether you go for it or not, I am going to save up your limericks for my future kids, nieces and nephews. I am going to tell them about you!

@pgntwo The tagging seems far less clumsy than including an actual link in the post itself. Plus they are all there, not just one post.

@trivia79 Yes, as @Hatley has said - she's 89, but that makes her in her ninetieth year. When she got to 89 she had lived 89 years, so the following year is her ninetieth.

It's interesting that the bloom on your flower above looks very different close up. At first, I thought it must have been a hibiscus.
