  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    I believe in God even when He is silent.

  3. Same thing, my posts

    just don't make it

    after I submit them.

    another try.

    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.

    A life spent in making mistakes

    is not only more honorable but

    more useful than a life spent

    doing no thing.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Good Sunday to all.

    Grateful for the spring

    melting that is starting,

    now we have to watch for

    flooding. Safe where I live.

    Enjoy your day.
