Fred, You made my day, will be laughing about the parts. Jackie

Good Thursday to all. Still in the storm and grateful for surviving till now. Easter Day will be beautiful and the first one under snow. Still remember those little straw hats we were so proud to wear on Easter Day when we were young, will have to wear a tuque this year and a winter coat, weather will be 8 degree only....and may have to wear snow shoes to move around... but grateful to be here. ------------------ Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

Rich, In time for Easter. Those two ''Thank you'' for your wife Kathy and daughter Tina are beautiful and we know by all your posts how much the love is there. Jackie

Thank you, for sharing with us. Jackie

Wonderful news, enjoy your vacation. Jackie

Ry, Chilly the first time you hear that. Could it be ear worm??? I have that since a long time, Mike always had music playing in the back ground and now the words and music of what he was listening to is just there. Jackie

Fred?????????? we are waiting. Jackie

Good morning all, just under the snow again, the snow storm started during the night and will finish for Easter morning......four days. Can't take much more of the winter, but still count myself lucky because the roof still ok. Many roofs collapsed during the last days and schools are closed while the roofs are getting scraped of six feet of accumulated snow. Could say it is the worst winter I remember and it is not finished yet. Grateful that I may be able to go to volunteer work on foot, at least I'll will try it is downhill, that is the easy part....coming back will be harder. ------------- You can always tell a real friend: when ypu've made a fool of yourself, he doesn't think you've done a permanent job.

Good morning all, Second day in a row with beautiful sunshine, a first here in this bleak winter, will enjoy it and spend as much time outside, weather is freezing but I need sunshine. Grateful for the volunteer work I do, even got a promotion. ------------ Experience teaches you to recognize a mistake when you've made it again.

Janette, I see that you live in Toronto, good treatment is available there, many new drugs have been added to the list for treatment of LC in Canada since I joined this forum. Wishing you the best for the result of yesterday appointment. Jackie

My sympathy, May the memories of your FIL comfort and console you. Jackie

Ann, Sure Dennis was there today, would not miss a St.Pat's day or your anniversary. Hugs Jackie

Thank you Ann, I got a book of Irish recipes *A Taste of Wexford 2* (launched 12th November 2007,) with all the best Irish recipes of that part of South Ireland. Mike's cousin sent it to me. Jackie

Third time lucky???? lost two posts already. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh! Or in English: Happy St. Patrick's Day To You All! ---------- Grateful for the good news from members of the forum. Grateful that only one phone call is needed to get an appointment to see Dr. De Medices.......still have trouble understanding this good news for me.....Must be St.Pat's work and Michael Patrick pushing behind. ----------------- Grateful that I'll celebrate this day thinking of all the St.Patrick's days I enjoyed with Mike, after all he was Irish and proud about it. -------------------- The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.

Tina, we are here for you. Hugs Jackie

Got disgusted with ''Garage Sales'' when we went to one in the country and found out that people were selling articles that they had ''BEG'' us to give to them.......... I had a field day telling people what I was thinking of them. Mike even wanted to buy back some of our own stuff......... We moved happily from there. Jackie

Thank you for the update, wonderful news and congratulations. Jackie

Ann, you could try this. Ireland Corned Beef & Cabbage in Ale 2-3 pound cut of corned beef 24 ounces ale (Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale) 2 carrots, cut into chunks 12 small red potatoes 4 onions, peeled and quartered 1 teaspoon dry mustard (Colman's) 1 large sprig thyme (optional) 1 head cabbage, quartered Place the beef in a large pot with the ale, carrots, potatoes, onions, mustard and thyme (if using). Add just enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and simmer gently 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Halfway through, check the vegetables: when they are tender, remove them and set aside. Add the cabbage quarters and cook until tender, about 15 to 30 minutes. When the meat is tender, return all vegetables to the pot and reheat. Serve the meat in slices, surrounded by the vegetables and broth.

Good Sunday to all. Grateful for the spring melting that is starting, now we have to watch for flooding. Safe where I live. ----------- The harvest of old age is the memory and rich store of blessings laid up earlier in life.
