Good story. Did you do much acting?
I'm hesitant to say too much on Topix, but guess I'll take a risk. Since I'm talking about me,(I am actually the center of the universe- BTW - but my wife won't buy it), my grandma on the other side had 'Young' for a maiden name, so you and me might be related? She was a good Catholic. She was also very musical, so I think I might be related to Angus Young of ACDC. I know, he is an Australian, but, aren't all the Caucasian Australians descendents of convicts from the UK? LOL? Her brothers (from New York) did kind of look like Angus (I would not say she did! lol). They were outgoing and a little 'wild and crazy'- for 70 or 80 year olds.

Thanks Fish. Not really, a few small parts, blink and you would
miss me, but it was very renumerative.
Young. Anglo-Saxon...ancient name.
Based on the information you have, can I suggest you apply for your
grandparents marriage certificate...it would give you a generation back.
Please feel free to PM me if you have anything private to relay..
I read of the crimes those convicts were guilty of...sometimes something
as small as stealing a loaf of bread in order to survive...
Your ancestors sound characters by the way...:)

Wish I had known it was on Grace, I was so taken up with
watching a re-run of Clocking Off, I missed it.
That was a long time to outlive her husband!
Bitterly cold here today, how is it across the Irish Sea?
I was talking to a lady in the Vet's waiting room the other day, she always seems to be there when I go, has a Dalmation who is being monitored for weight loss....
She remarked that when she was travelling to the place, she
was struck by how green the hills were in the near distance,
they would be 'in relief' and outstandingly beautiful, all the
moreso when they are capped with snow.
This lady is English also, so not coming from a mountaineous
area, perhaps we notice it more rather than take it for granted..as some would.
Well, off shortly to put on an early meal..
Do hope you are feeling much better today.

Appreciating this and your reply
re THE WICKLOW MOUNTAINS, EL..

So glad you enjoyed that trip & yes indeed..
some of our home spun scenery here is breathtaking.. admittedly
and renowned to be so..

Having said that SO IS WALES...

LOL

something we hold in common.

Did you see 'POWERSCOURT GARDENS' in your Wicklow travels?
I always remember with certain fondness .... the pet cemetery there..
and the heart rending inscriptions.

'Thank you' for asking El..

Yes, I feel MILES better today, glad to say
the cold was kind enough to know
'where it wasn't wanted' lol... and so left me.. rather promptly(:

[Grace Nerissa]

Very much alike Grace...and both matched equally by the beautiful
Lake District in Northern England...again a place beloved by poets.
Unfortunately no I did not see Powerscourt Gardens, an excuse to
come again!
Glad to hear you gave that cold it's marching orders, well done!

Good to hear that MillyMolly will be okay!

Thank you...she is looking better already.

Please don't be put off by my inviting other than 'kitchen'
talk...personally I could talk pets and food until the
cows come home, lol..but that doesn't suit all.
You mentioned recipes....I noticed a thread here on offbeat
soley for recipes, but still hope you will find time to post
us a few on here...in fact, am depending on learning how
to make your famous sausage gravy!...:)

Our Maine Coon mix is a REAL cat! Very aloof until he wants to be petted. The tuxedo is more dog like, very needy and liked to be held.
I do hope all are well. Denny is suffering a bug; Quinn is checking her map... We will break bread this Spring no doubt! There will be a posting for our North American folks to meet!

I made dead sure ... when in France .. to set time aside & come by

and I meant it.. only two folks responded >

'El & 'DEER WHISPERER'..(AND Vee in private by email)

Maybe I should never say this,
but, sometimes, it is good to be true to self!

even old Shakespeare said that(:

Now why on earth would you think that you're not one my favorites Grace? Granted my sense if geography initially was bad in confusing you & El as far as who is in Ireland and who is in Wales. What did I say to offend?

Interesting also that you should say that. When I first arrived in the kitchen, I kind of thought the same thing. Some of you have known each other longer and I felt the outsider......and kind just sit back and watch the sports talk since I'm not familiar or big on US sports and certainly don't know anything about European sports. So I've got nothing to contribute there.....

Animals, US politics or food, I'm you're girl and then won't shut up!

<quoted text>Well yes, as they all have different dietary needs. Their
weights vary from 16 lbs to 5 lbs. I knew a lady once who
had two cats, one was big as a house, lol, as he was a fast
eater and ate his own, and his companions meal, the latter
was very skinny. Taught me a lesson. All this bunch have
their own little dish....:)

.....but can they read their names on the dishes?

DENNY CRAINE:
Firstly,
Sorry to hear you are feeling LOW...
To *ell with the tiled floors..
just put YOU first & explain to your guests
that you are not feeling the best -
make NO apologies for putting YOURSELF first..
I'm sure your friends have ALWAYS valued YOU more highly
than any floors or how clean they might appear.

Best of luck & health
and I mean that.

Here!! here !! Grace. People come to visit people, not inspect how clean our homes are.

HA HA HA! I just saw the poll...you came to the right place, lol!
How are you Dear Rose? Finish the bathroom off?! I know the felling, did mine on Wednesday, back breaking but worth the effort.
Not familiar with hypoglycemic condition but it sounds related to diabetes, so it is a genetic disorder? Wasn't aware of that.
I was so relieved she was negative, I really did not relish the idea of daily injections, not at her great age, although she is very much the kitten cat. The Vet put a tablet down her little throat and squirted water down her...I never do that, but I couldn't say anything. I pride myself I get the tablet right at the back of the throat halfway down the gullet. Hope I am not boring you, haha.
Pretty cold here but still no snow, did you get more after all.
You have a wonderful weekend, keep warm and well nourished...
Best....<3
Love-n-Hugs

Hi Lady Eleanor...
Diabetics have to much sugar in their blood and Hypoglycemic means you have to little... My sister was diagnosed with borderline diabetes but was able to get it under control before it got serious..
I was diagnosed as being hypoglycemic about 14 years ago.. I had a really bad spell one night my sugar had dropped really low and I was so sick I thought I was going to die... I passed out, woke up and was sick to my stomach and on my way to the bathroom when I felt like I simply had to have a glass of Pepsi right then, so I did and within 15 minutes I was right as rain... Went to the doctor that week and got tested...
Now I make sure to keep Pepsi in the house at all times along with some hard candies... I still get a little shaky at times if I don't eat right... So far I haven't had anymore really scary episodes...
Now about the snow.. We've had three... two were just dustings of 1 inch or so but this last one was around the 5 inch mark... We have more rain than anything... Today wasn't bad though.. kinda gray but it was in the 40's.. The forecast does call for some rain again this coming week... It's the stuff that just went through Dennys neck of the woods...
I blame Flower Child all the time for the rain...hahahaha
I know if they have it in Texas 3 days later it'll be here...
I hope that I haven't bored you with all of my ramblings...hahahaha
;o)
Sending you all of my best wishes for a Wonderful day filled with the joys of laughter and the comforts of love...
((Love-n-Hugs))

Thanks for your reply RM, and..
It's all good.

Sometimes, as is often said, it is hard to get the full
measure of another if one isn't with them in person..
An error of judgment can be made.

I have something in common with you
re the 'sport' lol
In fact ! Among personal friends here,
when they go to major sporting events I'm often pulled
In as the babysitter! and they can do so without any guilt(:

.....:) I thought I'd make it easier for them and just
put on their own initials...Barti and Blue are still
trying to get their heads round it though..haha
