Topic of the Day:  in my CD player AND my DVD player:  The Bloody Irish! (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B018RZ7VA6/)  I just happened to come across it on PBS a couple of months ago, but I'd missed the first hour.  I'd search Comcast's OnDemand and PBS's website every once in a while, and PBS finally made it available for purchase (although, I actually bought it from Amazon)!  But it turns out that you get both the DVD, which is about an hour and 25 minutes, and the CD, which is only about 33 minutes long...what's that all about??  Anyway, it's mostly traditional Irish music.  This is from the booklet:
Quote
Set in Dublin during the Easter rising of 1916 -- the event that set the match to the fire of Irish freedom and forged the Ireland of today -- The Bloody Irish! uses rousing tunes like "The Foggy Dew," "The Minstrel Boy," "The Rocky Road to Dublin" and "The Tricoloured Ribbon," to illustrate the mindset of those who fought in the rising -- the volunteer fighters, men and women, the squaddies of the British army -- and the Dublin civilians, who hunkered down and endured it with gallows humour.

Post by: George on January 22, 2016, 01:20:26 AM
This seems almost like a follow-up to "The Irish...And How They Got That Way" (recorded by our very own BK), but just in the sense that it tells of the Irish through their music in a theatrical setting. :)

DR singdaw, Huckabee and these jerk GOP candidates of his ilk catering to the lowest mentality of red neck American hatred and prejudice  are completely detestable.  I'm sure Eva Braun thought Adolph was quite personable, too.

Much as I dislike Christie from observing his rants and ridiculous, childish behavior for the past several years, I really admired his handling of the hurricane mess.  I felt the same about petulant Mayor Giuliani, who became the epitome of poise under pressure following 9/11,  Then he went back to being a fool.

I'm pretty sure we cleaned off our cars before driving, however, I had no idea not doing so was dangerous.

Perhaps Mike Huckabee is charming in person. I don't know; I've never met him.


But if you're gay, he's definitely not your friend.

There are a lot of things I don't agree with him about. Not going to support him, but took the free coffee

I think it's great that our DR ciillaliz is seeing every candidate and taking advantage of the ability to do so.

Thanks Elmore.  I have to tell you, you really learn a lot about them seeing them in person as they appeal to their core voters.  Sometimes I hear positions on issues I either really agree with or disagree with that I wasn't even aware that person had.   I think I'm going to skip Ben Carson prayer service tomorrow.  I'm not going to caucus for him and I have a headache.

I am also enjoying reading DR CILLA LIZ's posts about the political goings on in Iowa.....it's better than what we get on the news!

The news doesn't have a clue.  I can't remember the last time I talked to someone who actually answered a poll.  It's going to be interesting. Unless something crazy happens in the next week, I think I know who is going to win on both sides, but we'll see.

Ben Carson's thing tomorrow was going to be a revival/prayer meeting to pray for saving the earth or something like that  with Kirk Cameron and some Christian rock group.  Now it's being billed as a prayer service for his staffer who died in a car accident on Tuesday.  Carson is very religious.  The interesting thing is there are a number of candidates who may split the so called evangelical vote. The biggest split will likely be between Cruz and Carson.  That will help the Donald, who I still think will win

LOL, that's all he has. He does have a lot of sympathy right now.  The car accident was very sad. I'm guessing they had someone driving who didn't know how to drive on snow and ice

Yeah, I wasn't going to do that, but Ive talked to so many people who like Christie or Kasich or Fiorina or even Rubio but instead of giving them a little support to go on, they are voting for Trump because they do not want Cruz. They all have other reasons to vote for Trump, but the conversations always starts "Well I really like _____ the best, but..."

I heard from my friend with cancer who had a session in Philadelphia this week to see how things were progressing. He reported:
I didn't get horribly sick for the first time, so we were able to get out of Dodge quickly and well ahead of the storm.  Unfortunately, I have to go back in a month because there were some minor complications (non-threatening, just annoying) that prevented them from doing the whole treatment. But the good news is that they said they could see visible shrinking of the tumors that they treated last month.

Oh it wouldn't have taken me that long to miss him.  He sits in the chair with me at night.  I actually think Boo was trying to tell me he couldn't get in from the mud room. I thought she was hungry.  When I gave her food she must have forgotten all about Ricky

I'm just glad the garage door was down.  He wouldn't have been able to get outside. He could have gotten in the mud room, just not gotten in the house.  I always check the temp in the mud room before going to bed. It's also the laundry room, but only has a small electric heater so I have to check the temp before going to bed. There are coats etc in there and a cat carrier.  He would have been fine.

But just before doing that, I'd had this HUGE piece of brandy-soaked fruitcake...so it's not that I'm hungry now.  I'm really not.  But the kind of foodstuffs I've been seeing and hearing about, including vixmom's scrumptious sounding repast, can still get the juices flowing.

Tonight, somehow I didn't get the door into the garage completely shut and Ricky got out. The outside garage door was shut, so he was in the garage.  I didn't know he was there and closed the mud room door.  It was quite a while later I heard him scratching to get in.   It was a BIG adventure for him.  I have no idea what he got into.  He thought he was in trouble, but he isn't.  I never leave that door open, sheesh!  He's sleeping on the chair now.  I'm sure he'll be bragging about his adventure to his sisters

I'm sure you would not have gone to bed without him, glad he is ok.

Oh it wouldn't have taken me that long to miss him.  He sits in the chair with me at night.  I actually think Boo was trying to tell me he couldn't get in from the mud room. I thought she was hungry.  When I gave her food she must have forgotten all about Ricky

It is easy to forget when food is involved :)

I haven't done this in a long time, but tonight I just settled myself down in front of the TV and, in between catching weather updates, I've been watching those Diners, Dives, Burgers, 'Que, etc., food programs. 

But just before doing that, I'd had this HUGE piece of brandy-soaked fruitcake...so it's not that I'm hungry now.  I'm really not.  But the kind of foodstuffs I've been seeing and hearing about, including vixmom's scrumptious sounding repast, can still get the juices flowing.

Now I want a piece of your fruitcake.

Fortunately, it only happened again one time after that, and with only one stick, too...well, so far.  It could still happen again.
