Yes, I does bad grammar when in snit mode. Atroicously bad grammar when in snit mode.

When I am not in snit mode, my grammar is quite good.

Whilst looking over colour charts for painting the sitting room I came across this lot. Seemingly, inbreeding did the trick. Now, I wonder if there was a Nun in the family would one get banned for mentioning her?


Some of the family are still scattered throughout the area.
An entire family's skin who lived in isolated Appalachia in Kentucky was tinged blue and now a study has provided some details on the "Blue-Skinned People of Kentucky."
Martin Fugate and family are shown above in an undated, colorized black and white photo and genetics may explain the odd coloring of the skin.
Martin was a French immigrant and settled in Kentucky in the 1820s.
His skin had a blue tint and as he married and they had children, some of them were tinged blue as well.
They apparently were dubbed the blue Fugates of Troublesome Creek and suffered from Methemoglobinemia.
What's that?
It reportedly is now the type of disease most modern doctors study in medical school, but rarely see in modern times.
ABC reveals:

Methemoglobinemia is a blood disorder in which an abnormal amount of methemoglobin -- a form of hemoglobin -- is produced, according to the National Institutes for Health. Hemoglobin is responsible for distributing oxygen to the body and without oxygen, the heart, brain and muscles can die.
In methemoglobinemia, the hemoglobin is unable to carry oxygen and it also makes it difficult for unaffected hemoglobin to release oxygen effectively to body tissues. Patients' lips are purple, the skin looks blue and the blood is "chocolate colored" because it is not oxygenated, according to Tefferi.
"You almost never see a patient with it today," he said. "It's a disease that one learns about in medical school and it is infrequent enough to be on every exam in hematology."
The disorder can be inherited, as was the case with the Fugate family, or caused by exposure to certain drugs and chemicals such as anesthetic drugs like benzocaine and xylocaine.

This along with the inbreeding would do it I reckon. I notice they were French as well.

Just sat down now with a mug of coffee after our first bit of spring cleaning.

Tackled my least favourite job first. Cleaning the hob extractor unit. This is by far and away my most hated job around the house. There is just so much grease and grime that collects and my hands smell disgusting afterwards.

Also washed the floors (more continuous maintenance than spring cleaning) while my wife did the vaccuming, and we've been doing some laundry as well.

My wife and I take it in turns to do the "bad jobs".

Others on the "bad jobs" list are:

• Cleaning out the dishwasher filters
• Cleaning out the vacuum cleaner and washing the filters
• Washing windows. This is a two person job for us. I do the outside ones and herself the inside ones.
• Washing the car

I can't think of any other cleaning pet hates at the moment, but those are definitely at the top of my list.

Off to mow the lawn now while the sunshine lasts. It'll be the first cut this year and I actually enjoy it. Makes me feel like summer's on the way. :cool:

I'll be glad to see the back of that ugly monstrosity Liberty Hall, I won't miss it a bit, but I also know I'll hate the new building with equal fervour, or a third more actually!! I took photos of it years ago as a 'before' exercise. I wonder when if ever I will get an opportunity to take a photo of the 'after'?

P.S. This was before the 'before', http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Irish_Citizen_Army_Group_Liberty_Hall_Dublin_1914.jpg

I like the older style of buildings myself. I know they are more difficult to maintain and such, but to me they have a ll the character a building should have. Modern glass monstrosities are awful to behold in my mind. And the plain brickwork of modern buildings is too utilitarian for my tastes.

I don't think a single modern architect has any taste at all. They all seem to go for the YEUK value.
