Hi ya goils!
Welcome Notme!
Bernie I laughed as I was reading coz guess what I'm cooking for dinner tonight? Yup, you got it.......lol.......corned beef and cabbage!......lol.......talk about coincidence! DH likes cold corned beef for his lunches so I usually do a big one that will give us a couple of meals and will do him most of the week for his lunch. It's so easy and very tasty.
Dork sorry, yup I said the word.......to hear about your mom. Altzheimers is really devastating for the loved ones but not for the patient as they are very happy in their own world. Glad to hear that your dad is going to move up close to you as I know you will be very happy about that. Hope you feel better soon girl, you seem to have been down for so long it's time to work your way up again.
Sue, I'm on the iPad at the moment but when I get on the computer I'll post a pic of the happy couple. Future SIL likes to look after himself and works out in the gym most days but is very supportive of what my DD does and fully understands that her time literally is money. They have been together for two years now and living together for a year. I love him to bits as he makes my oh so serious daughter laugh so hard she cries........something I had not seen for a long time. I had given up on her marrying at all as she turns 40 in May..........it just goes to show that there is someone for everyone, you just have to keep looking......or not.......as your true partner will find you anyway.
NM I continually crack up at what your Sadie does and can imagine the look on her face. Keep them DOTD coming.........I don't know where you find them but I'm glad you do.
Hiya to all the other girls......hope you are doing well.
Love n hugs. Chrissy0 -
May luck be our companion
May friends stand by our side
May history remind us all
Of Ireland's faith and pride.
May God bless us with happiness
May love and faith abide.0 -

The Wearing of The Greenby Dion Boucicault (1820-1890)
O Paddy dear, and did you hear the news that going round?
The shamrock is forbid by law to grow on Irish ground;
St. Patrick's Day no more we'll keep, his colours can't be seen,
For there's a bloody law against the wearing of the green.
I met with Napper Tandy and he took me by the hand,
And he said, "How's poor old Ireland, and how does she stand?"
She's the most distressful counterie that ever yet was seen,
And they're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.Then since the colour we must wear is England's cruel red,
Sure Ireland's sons will ne'er forget the blood that they have shed.
You may take a shamrock from your hat and cast it on the sod,
It will take root and flourish there though underfoot it's trod.
When law can stop the blades of grass from growing as they grow,
And when the leaves in summer-time their verdure dare not show,
Then will I change the colour that I wear in my caubeen
But 'till that day, please God, I'll stick to wearing of the green.But if at last our colour should be torn from Ireland's heart,
Our sons with shame and sorrow from this dear old isle will part;
I've heard a whisper of a land that lies beyond the sea
Where rich and poor stand equal in the light of freedom's day.
O Erin, must we leave you driven by a tyrant's hand?
Must we ask a mother's blessing from a strange and distant land?
Where the cruel cross of England shall nevermore be seen,
And where, please God, we'll live and die still wearing of the green!0 -
Bernie that is quiet a poem, again never heard that before--it's tuggin on me fart.
Oh if I had legs and feet luke that I'd definitely wear those tights and shoes.
It's still the 16th there right?
And Kat's packing to leave and
Sue's leaving (right?)--to many of u travel--I told u this before No way can I keep up--
Chrissy u'r staying put-u have way to much to do and corn beef sandwiches yummy--there is so much going on here.
Dork I'm so glad to see u post and have a little tendah--Kat was gambling so u prolly didn't see her.
Joey and I have been alone all nite, I curled up on the couch anfter taking a few pain pills and he was rubbing my feet and I didn't care what we watched on TV so he asked if he could watch this program and I said yes, and he said u'll love it mammaw. (I could care less) and it was about The theory of everything---which I thought was a comedy--OMG it's real--there is aTheory that exists with this name. Now did I love it? Well 1st I had to understand it. And under the influence I didn't know what a star was. And in between groans and WTF's I watched it, I'm glad I didn't want to be a scientist--I would have been such a failure, but since I became really nothing--I'm a success. so I have a lot of pride in myself for the succes I achieved. BTW this did remind me of the Big Bang theory so I got confused why it got it's own name. So see how I spend my time--it has nothing to do with packing or luggage--it's brain power. Under ANY influence.
Oh I have a St. Patricks' day party tomorrow night--we'll see (oh tonite, I mean) Saturday right? Oh Oh I have to find something green--hmmm even the grass isn't green yet or I'd bring a handful--I don't even have green PJ's--I would wer them if I had em. Well if I go I'll come up with something green---even if it's envy.
Oh I'm blabbering--I am aware of it, but I feel the need to and u guys can just ignore me, I can't call anyone it's like 4ayem.
I wrote the Govenor yesterday and di blaber a little to him and I told him 2 ways for this state to make money without depending on everyone who doesn't have money. And I also told him I should be paid for my ideas cuz they would work and I always get back an automated answer about all the mail that they get---so I did write back and said no one is writing cuz no one really likes him he's done nothing, most people don't even know his name---after, I thought I think I went to far this time, oy vey then I thought no one reads these things anyway so I'm fine and will continue with my activism for the good of the country--cuz i also write the President.(just not as often)
OK I'll stop for now Thank u for letting me rattled on and on--I'm not having a good nite right now and this helps me--believe it or not--

Good morning, Loungettes! Woke up to a covering of snow on the ground this ayem. Sigh. And spring just a few days away, right? Sigh. Time for more coffee!
ORLA--Implants in May--HOORAY!!!!!!! Luv the way you describe us, so cool! Ooooh, spooky, made me jump! Wow, that isn't a tan, that's a tanned hide! Can you say "skin cancer"? Oh, my, now I need some chocolate to dip my coffee into. . . Chocolate covered AND filled strawberries? I think I'm in heaven!
Goldie--I seem to be having trouble getting past that pic of hump day guys for some reason. . . .
Cammy--nothing like a good cuddle after a bad dream, is there? I can't take the Fent, I tend to stop breathing, which is very upsetting to me and everyone around me. I can take codeine, though, and diluadid and morphine. I wish there was some way to find out what's behind the D and fix it once and for all. It breaks my heart to see you suffering like this. And I'm with you, I trust my own instincts and my dog's more than any medical test out there.
BBBBernie--Wow, what a breakfast! Boiled bacon? I never thought of that one. Is the gravy a sausage gravy? Ooh, I love the history of corned beef and bacon! I love traditional stuff. Aha, the gravy is actually parsley sauce and you give the recipe, too! Hooray!
DorKable--You probably picked up your case of D from the nursing home. Be sure to wash your hands when you arrive (to prevent bringing something in) and when you leave (to prevent taking something out) and don't touch your face in between. Hope your Mom is having a good day for your visit.
Not-Me--glad you find us, we all seem to find what we need when we need it on BCO. Any particular kind of red wine you like??
Wahine--Here's to winning big in the HTL Casino, and can't wait to hear about your trip!
Chrissy--Sadie is a silly critter, much of the time. I'm very grateful that she picked me out to be her human. So happy for you and your dtr. It's great when the in-laws get along!
BBBBernie--Wonderful poem!
Cammy--if you can't ramble here where can you ramble? That's part of what the lounge is for, after all! I'm sure someone reads your letters, but for threat assessment rather than for the actual ideas. Too bad, I bet your ideas are GREAT! Maybe I should start writing letters to the guv, too. I'm sure I can find an opinion or two of interest!
Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD is The Irish Breakfast
It’s one shot of half Irish Whiskey and half butterscotch schnapps, followed immediately by one shot of pure orange juice, which is finally followed by some crispy bacon. Between the butterscotch, the juice, and the bacon, the taste is similar to dragging your bacon through the syrup from your pancakes. And doesn’t Irish Whiskey make breakfast more fun?

Chocolate filled stroybewwies…….yum.
Looks like Lara and Shannon will be fighting over the percotini fountain! (not really, I know they will share)
Awwww, how sweet that Joey runs to you Cami, instead of his mommy. What a bummer about having to cancel you luncheons, was it that damned D? I do hope you and Adey get to meet. Would you be taking pictures………….wink wink! LOL @ Kat having her own plane. We might have a friend come over and help with packing a day or two, on Monday and Tuesday. And then the gal that works with our accountant might help with the phones. But kind of hard to sell something when you don’t know anything about it. Oh and Katie Kat doing her scans again, I hope she is just trying to massage you to make you feel better. And Wawa knows how to post pictures, but no, I have not seen those beautiful eyes yet.
Bernie, do you do that boiled bacon? I think I’ll keep mine fried.
DorKie, I glad you feeling a little better and get to go bisit wif you mom. I hope you had a nice bisit and she had a good day. We should all hide in Katrinka’s suitcase and go bisit Bernie. I don’t know what dude you found to be with, but wasn’t one from me. I’z still lookin.
Well Not-Me, we do have quite the time here and welcome anyone that wants to come in and have some fun. Where in MI are ya? I’m originally from there, and visit once a year. I’m from the Lapeer area, family in White Lake and Warren.
Kathy, I would certainly forget things if I waited like you do to pack. I hope you have wifi, cuz you always make us feel like we are on your trip with you.
Chrissy, you beery right about de oldtimers and dat exackerly what I tailed her too, dat her mommy beery happy. Drinks are super easy to find btw.
Cami, I’m glad it helps you to pop in to the lounge when you have a bad night……or day. And shame on those politicians for not writing you back.
I VOTE CAMI FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Oh meese, you had me laffing about not being able to take the Fent, cuz you tend to stop breathing, as if it wasn’t too big of a deal and those around you got jes a little uncomfy………LOL.
Well, gonna transplant our maters into larger pots and get some onions in the ground. The pollen is blowing off the trees like crazy and looks like smoke. My neighbor gave me so OSHA root, boil it in water and take 2 tbsp a few times a day. Tastes like chit, but I rather take that than OTC drugs. So far seems to work pretty good. We’ll see how well when I get outside!
Have a wonderful TURD DAY GirlZ

All cuts are suitable. but the lean pieces (forehock, gammon, collar) are sometimes casseroled or stewed whole, tied with string.

All cuts are suitable but rashers are usually cut from the back. streaky or collar. Steaks are cut from the gammon or prime back.

"The Wearing of the Green" is a traditional Irish folksong that dates back to the Irish Rebellion of 1798, when the Irish rose up against the British. At that time, wearing green clothing or shamrocks was considered a rebellious act in and of itself, potentially even punishable by death. The song clearly mocks that policy, and its popularity in its day (and now, even) enforced the color green and the shamrock as important symbols of Irish pride. "The Wearing of the Green" has been recorded by many different groups, and remains a favorite pub sing-along to this day. Several different sets of lyrics have been written, with the best-known set coming from playwright Dion Boucicault,

Paddy and Sean are planning to go out on St Patricks Day, but only have 50 cents between them.
Paddy has an idea, he takes the 50 cents of Sean, goes to a butchers and buys a sausage.
Sean is really pissed off at first that Paddy spent their last money on a sausage, but Paddy lets him in on his plan. "We are going into the next pub, order two pints, drink them and when it comes to paying you go down on your knees, unzip my trousers, pull the sausage out and start sucking on it"
So, they go into the first pub and do exactly as Paddy suggested. The barmaid is disgusted by the sight and kicks the two out. Paddy says: "see it works, we didn't pay did we?"
As Paddy's plan seems to be working they carry on doing it... In the 12th pub, both are quite drunk by now, Sean isn't looking to good. They have just finished their pints...
Sean: "I can't do this anymore Paddy my bloody knees are hurting like crazy...!" Paddy: "No worries...I lost that bloody sausage in the third pub!"

Good afternoon, Loungettes! It's warmed up to a balmy 36.5 degrees, considering taking Sadie for a walk. Maybe.
Goldie--still too early for me to put in onions, gonna try that this year, though. OSHA root? All I can think of is Occupation Health and Safety Association and I'm sure they don't appreciate being boiled!
BBBBernie--LOL! What some people will do for a free drink!
ORLA--gotta be silly, otherwise gonna cry!

My oh my, we can keep these tenders sooooo bizzy!..
A Big Happy Saint Patricks Day, girls of the HTL....and especially to our very own Irelander (almost sounds like Islander)......BBBernie! My parents were cooking a corned beef dinner the other night, and it smelled soooooooo good. Thanks for 'splaining all that, Bernie...so interesting as we all thought it was definately a traditional irish meal. Would be fun if we have an Irish Coffee when we land in Ireland in the weeeee hrs of the morning (top o' the mornin), and then when we land in Germany in the early afternoon, we can have a draft German beer...at the Lisbon Portugal airport we can have one of their ummmmmm cafe's....then since it will be midnight when we land in Madeira, I guess we will just be ready for bed! LOL. Such weird, LONG travel days just to get there from here.
OK, will try, try, try again for some shut eye time. You all be good (or NOT) while I am away....and of course I will check in when I can.
Cheerio!

Good morning, Loungettes! Lovely sunny ayem today. Crystrals in the window are throwing rainbows all over the living room. Very pretty.
That's right, today is St. Patty's day! The Maine legislature had to pass emergency legislation to allow pubs and bars to sell likker before 9 ayem today. Our esteemed guv was going to veto any legiaslation that hit his desk before a plan to pay back the hospitals the billions owed by the state for the last 4 years, but made an exception. Just goes to show how much weight likker sales has in this state!
Cammy--lets hit the buffet and then check out the new meat behind the bar!
Wahine--I always overestimate what I will want/need when I travel and take too much. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm not going to the ends of the earth, if I forget something critical I can get another one, and if it's not critical I can live without it! But I don't travel any where near as much as you do.
Becs--partays here last a very long time, so no one misses one! I've got some green dye for the percotini fountain!
Wahine-- do you plan your trips and layovers around the drinks? If so, good for you!!!!
Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD is The Horny Leprechan
4 oz light beer
5 oz lime flavored vodka
3 drops green food coloring
Mix and stir, serve well chilled.

LOL @ Paddy and Sean, didn’t see that one coming!
NM, I thought the same thing with OSHA……lol. As for the onions, I got them online from a great company, instructions say to plant 4 weeks BEFORE your last frost, so we did! As with our weather, you never know. I can be pretty sure we will get a freeze yet, so I hope they will be ok. DH wanted them in. We got a candy onion, SOOOO sweet. Name of the company if you are interested is Dixondale.
I hope I can catch a leprechaun today Lara.
Woop woop Dork, you got the party started……..I’m in.
Safe travels MsGreenEyes! I hope you don’t foyget anything either, me included!!!! ((((KATHY)))))
LOL Becks, great idea with the bubbles and hide n seek, you sneaky lil thang you!
WOW Dort, you are up early!!!! And still partying.
