Nice to see you too Kathy, sorry you're not feeling well.

I have no idea where these things like dill pickle day come from. A radio station I listen to gives whatever day it is as well as the next day, every morning.

Stupid stuff like Oatmeal day, buy your co-worker breakfast day, shower in the nude day which was funniest cuz it took many people a long time to get that one. A few calls into station saying 'ummmmm hey'. That's the idea tho; goofy stuff.

Someone has alot of time on their hands I guess.

Kathy

Thanks for the "Pickle Show." That was so cute. I copied it and now it's going through the e-mail route here at hospice. Hope you don't mind.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I get into these things where I'm sure I make no sense but heck if that's stopped me yet! :D

I already did my pickle thing. :P And if I wanted ice cream (and nah there wasn't any) and pickles for that reason.....well I'm not sure what you'd call that. :D

I knew my Moony would like the pickle cartoons.You all should see the videos she has with the talking veggies.So far she has not thrown rotten tomatoes at me cause I know not to serve her brussel sprouts.

He's talking about VeggieTales. Last weekend we saw the Ultimate Silly Song Countdown. I got hooked on them because of kids church & my grandkids love them. :D

Ted, you know if we have to have brussel sprouts, we'll definately have chicken with it. :o

Thank you Kathy for your input. :D

A manly tale of the sea, it is?

Alrighty then.

A pirate walks into a bar and starts talking to the bartender about his adventures at sea.

Noting the pirate's peg-leg, hook and eye patch, the bartender asks, "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"

"We was caught in a monster storm off the cape and giant wave swept me overboard. Just as they were pullin' me out, a shark came by and bit off me leg."

"Blimey," said the bartender. "What about the hook?"

"Me crew and I was boardin' a trader ship, guns blasting, swords swingin', and in the fracas me hand got cut off."

"Oh,my," remarked the bartender, "And how came you by that eye patch?"

"I was on me ship and I looked up and a seagull let one go right in me eye."

"You lost your eye to some bird poop?" the bartender asked.

"Aaargh, well, it was the first day I had me hook."

Pirate me mate!

Hardy har har .... I loved it!!! :lol:

Sorry for the home ec class ... I'm sure you very very rugged Pirates have no time for these trivial matters!!

By the way... there is a singing group from Newfoundland that I absolutely adore.

They do many old traditional songs... from their island which was primarily fishing villages moons ago.

They also do many old traditional Irish songs since their ancestors were directly from Ireland.

The funny thing is ... their accent is still so 'Irish' to this day. A good friend of mine who now lives here was born and raised in Belfast. When she met her first Newfie she argued with him being from Ireland and not Newfoundland from where he was claiming to be.

Anyhow...let me post some of the lyrics of the songs they've recorded. They will often go to these remote villages, sit down at a kitchen table and have these old codgers sing there sea-faring songs in order to learn them since there is no music written down for any of these songs.

This one is called Scolding Wife….it’s a hoot.

Scolding Wife

Well I came into a scolding wife a few short years ago

And ever since I lead a life of misery and woe

My wife she is a tyrant around the ??

Ah I'd sell her to the devil for a glass or two of gin

Sure I'll get up and go to work as mild as any man

And she'll get up and dress herself and go and have her dram

And I chance to say a word it's well I know my due

She'll follow me with the fire shovel up and down the room

[Chorus]

And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again

And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

Though I swear to God I'll hang myself if I get married again

When I get up at breakfast time she'll tap me on the head

When I come home at dinner time I'll find her drunk in bed

When I come home at supper time at patience I must stop

'Cause she drinks what's in the teapot and I must drink the slop

[Chorus]

Well once I asked me scolding wife if I could go to bed

She scare gave me an hour on the pillow to lay me head

When like a roarin' lion she came bustin' down the door

She caught me by the middle and threw me naked on the floor

[Chorus]

Now me and my companions go to a public place

She'll search around the neighbourhood until she finds my face

She'll hoist me up in ridicule before the company

Sayin' 'Petticoats is your master and forever more shall be'

I'm gonna let you all guess who the band is.

:lol:

Someday I'll learn how to post links for songs and then you'll all get to enjoy this music (or maybe not) :unsure:

Home Ec is cool

"Experts say even the moniker "home ec" itself is outdated: Many schools have changed their program titles to terms such as "human sciences" to reflect a broader nature.

"Our students graduate to become lawyers, loan counselors, directors of day care, dietitians," said Sharon Nickols, dean of UGA's College of Family and Consumer Sciences. "We just don't know their major because they don't say, 'I'm a family and consumer scientist."'

Seven months old, and if she could figure out how to she'd be screaming NO! constantly to her mama.

If I was going to be hiding anybody it would be Keira Knightley, not Orlando.

Then this should make us both happy! 1ukpremiere4.jpg
