I wouldn't say it was wrong, well not to your face. LOL

Ballet is a show, obviously as with all shows at least somebody likes it or it wouldn't exist. So go on have fun. (Besides I sort of like Swan Lake myself, and the Nutcracker Suite, And Carmen Oh that's an Opera sorry. But a little bit of class in your life is no big deal and good for you.)

Oh don't let the wife stare at the male dancer's gentleman vegetables too long or she might start to compare you. LOL LOL (and they cheat with rolled up socks or something)

No, you're OK there. Rarely does one see Nijinsky in the bumper @ Ballinrobe. But I've seen a lot of danse macabre over the last fence when the going was heavy.

Sherries anyone?

Stuck in house all day .......... snowing since lunchtime and about 8" now. Means I'll have to go out in the morning and shovel so HSH can get to work.:eek: It continues tomorrow before changing to rain tomorrow night - so it's going to be a muddy weekend.

My father in law's birthday was Feb 29. He often joked that he was driving for 48 years before he was 16

Goodnight and Good Moaning

You've just answered a longstanding question of mine about The Twelve Days of Christmas. I've always wondered who, or what, the "lords a-leaping" were and imagined them to be common as muck, hardly worthy of the title, what with all their leaping and prancing about. I see now how wrong I have been. They really were a rare breed indeed.

Was is the operative word. Passed on to the happy hunting ground in 2000. Didn't have a great voice but loved to sing in the bath and treated it as his personal auditorium

Just googled Leapling. The bit about Columbus/eclipse/native Indians was interesting.
Still snowing but a neighbour did a good deed and brought his snow-thrower and cleared up the front. About 14" and the rain which was forecast has been deferred to tomorrow.
My eMail is down since last night :mad: (gmail) .......... does anyone have any info? Anything to do with the ongoing Google kerfuffle?

Still snowing - on and off. About 14" but roads are ploughed clear. Hounds very excited as they leap around the field. The expected rain met a cold front and is falling as powder. And now for planning the St Patrick's Day open house

Aww Jelly I think your nurse is bringing your meds at the wrong time. We are having our bowl of pobs while you are still snoring.

Very impressive snoring by the way, we are having to get the window's reglazed in your end of the wing as they are rattling loose nowadays.

Alice1 · 04-03-2012 2:03pm

I'm very cross and grumpy! I was awake most of the night with a cough and when we went to Mass this morning, there was wan behind us who insisted on speaking aloud for most of the Mass.

Going back to bed for a while soon.

looksee · 04-03-2012 2:09pm

There's a horrible cold with a cough and chestyness going - I am nearly 3 weeks into it, nearly gone now but still have an irritating little cough, not something I am normally subject to.

However on the plus side I did go out and mow the lawn (teeny lawn!) this morning, took two goes after the winter, but looking rather tidier now. Well to be honest it looks as though a flock of sheep have been chewing at it, but its a start!

Huh?? I don't snore 'cos I caaaann't sleeeeeep! It was 4.30am this morning before I had any chance of any zzzzz's! By the way, if anyone is coughing for an unnaturally long time do let me know because I was cured of years of coughing just recently and am enjoying the blessing of cough-free days and nights. I think my body is awake waiting for the coughing to start! It's in shock!

Ramette · 04-03-2012 7:15pm

((hugs)) to all those not feeling well at the moment.
Wrap up warm and mind yourselves.

Looksee - congrats on mowing the lawn, i have been thinking about mowing mine but like you it will be a hack job ... decided to leave it for another weekend. I did though tidy out the front and back and plant some lovely spring flowers so I am feeling virtuous.

Yessss, Jelly, I was awake last night - coughing almost continuously. So, yes, if you have a cure, please do share

The thing is, if like me, you cough for weeks, months, years, without there being any chance of you having a cold, get it checked out by a specialist, GP's don't really know until they send you to the top brass. Turns out I have reflux. Meds have fixed me up good and proper. Lack of sleep is my problem now but its great to be cough-free.

And aren't you gardeners the energetic lot, I thought it was too early to cut grass with frost and rain and wotnot about!

looksee · 05-03-2012 12:51am

The grass never really stopped growing this winter, it has been so mild. It was gorgeous out today, a bit chilly but so nice to see the sun. I think there would have to be frost within a day or two to affect the grass when it has been cut, I've taken the chance anyway, it was really quite wet considering there was a good breeze blowing. If we get really cold weather now I'd say a lot of things will be n trouble as there is a lot of growth.

.................. QUOTE]

Jesus, I possibly got it of you looksee. Two weeks ago nose running and sneezing and sore from paper towels, then last week bad chest cough and the last couple of days very tired ......... so much that I could not go to daughter's birthday party last night. Today went out driving and after a few hours came home and hit the sack for two hours of sleep. Have been taking cough medicines, drinking enough water etc. Sometimes when I cough I think my head is going to take off. Could there be an O & O virus lurking in boards?

looksee · 05-03-2012 9:52am

That's it Spread - especially the tiredness! I tried not to breathe on the keyboard, but it obviously got past my virus checker.

No, not for about 10 days. Was going to have a few quick ones to try and relieve the symptoms but decided against. Would usually have a couple of bottles a week. The only shakes are from the cold .......... -15C and have just walked one of the hounds.

Hey Spread, what time do you wake up in the mornings?

Spread · 08-03-2012 3:41am

6.30 EST. After personal ablutions let two of the hounds out in the field ...... have to walk the third with a leash as she is untrainable ......... a rescue dog from the tornado in Tuscaloosa last year. The vet has said that she suffers from PTSD. Because of her behaviour I've got onto the local rescue centre and, as there is a wait of about six weeks am stuck with her 'til then. We inherited her with the two others but as the tail is now wagging the dog, it's time for byebyes. A few days ago she was out all day .......... would not come back in and barked incessantly for eight hours at a neigbour's house. This has happened a few times and we've had no complaints ....... but if we can hear her fom over 100 yds think of the racket the neighbours hear from their backyard. So before we get complaints ......... she's got to go. Very loveable but cannot be trusted. As I was brought up in a house full of geyhounds I realise that some - just like humans - just don't get it. So before we get PTSD it's goodbye Sammy.

Spread · 08-03-2012 5:25am

Goodnight and Good Moaning

rich.d.berry · 08-03-2012 10:29am

Fair play Spread for making the effort with rescue dogs. Hopefully she will be found another good home where she can be rehabilitated, though the prognosis, from what I've read, does not seem good.

I must confess that I did not know what the initials PTSD stood for but Wikipedia came to my rescue.
