Cultures & Groups - 5 December 2007

Donald MacDonald from the Isle of Skye was admitted to Oxford University, and was now living in his first year of residence there. His clan was very excited that one of their own had made it into the upper class of education, but were concerned how he'd do in "that strange land." After the first month, his mother came to visit, with reinforcements of whiskey and oatmeal.

"And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked.

"Oh, Mother," he replied, shaking his head sadly, "they're such terrible, noisy people: The one on that side keeps banging his head against the wall, and woon't stop; and the one on the other side screams and screams and screams away into the night."

"But Donald! How do you manage with those dreadful noisy English neighbours?"

"Well, mother, I just ignore 'em. I just stay here quietly, playing my bagpipes..."

A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.

"Why of course," comes the reply.
The first man then asks: "Where are you from?"
"I'm from Ireland," replies the second man.
The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland."

"Of Course," replies the second man. Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Ireland are you from?" "Dublin," comes the reply.

"I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin."

"Of course," replies the second man. Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: "What school did you go to?"

"Saint Mary's," replies the second man. "I graduated in '62."
"This is unbelievable!" the first man says. "I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '62, too!"

About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. "What's been going on?" he asks the bartender. "Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The O'Malley twins are drunk again."

OK - all of us did not have June Cleaver for a Mom...the powers that be know I didn't.

But after age 50 I learned to count the blessings rather than the negatives and I found many things my mom gave me that have served me well in life.

For me [given we were a military family that went everywhere we could with my Dad] it was making a HOME no matter where we were, for how long or under what circumstances.

Even my grandaughter tells me "G'ma, your house always seems like HOME!'

Share yours!

Tagging off of Mr. Ed's questions here, hope you don't mind!

The Seven Heavenly Virtues:
faith, hope, charity, fortitude, justice, temperance, prudence

BTW, a bit of trivia here: Versions of the 7 Deadly Sins and the 7 Heavenly Virtues have been taught by the Christian Church at least the 5th Century.

Grandmother would take a ruined shirt and cut all the buttons off and save them in a jar. If we ever lost a button, she might have a matching button to sew on for us in that old jar!

If you could think of one thing that would solve the race problem in America for good, what do you think it would be?

My answer would be patience. Many attempts at the discussion of race get out of hand because someone says something that someone else doesn't like. The discussion then turns to an argument. I think that if people would stop being so sensitive and shut up for a second, they would be more likely to understand where the other person is coming from. Patience is the key, in my opinion.

What's yours?

My dad absolutely forbids my feelings, and tells me it will not be tolerated. That it is a sin.


Can you justify this? Is it a sin? If so, where does it say?
Is it not? If so, can you prove it in the Bible?

Yesterday, there was a message on our phone for my son, and he also rec'd the message on his cell phone. They claimed to from U.S. Bank (where he does have an acct.) and wanted some financial information and left a phone number. He called but did not give them any info. He then called his "real" bank and no one from there had called him. Had to be a scam. Watch out for this one.

I don't know who wrote it or who sang it.. I don't even know the name of it. Here are some of the words. I'm putting it here because it's old and I've always had luck here before.. OK here goes...... "Well it went zip when it ran, pop when it stopped, whirr when it stood still! I didn't know just what it was and I guess I never will!" I'm 67 and I remember it... If you do, tell me about it. I'd like the lyrics again. Thanks

I personally do not understand. From what i have heard about him, until the very last days of his life, he was very prejudiced against the whites and was all about black separatism and black militantcy. Why do a lot of black americans honor him a civil rights leader? Acting on his ideas would have done less for the civil rights of Black folks than anything. I think Martin luther King was better.

in general, i love the show. but i have a serious problem with how mark is portrayed. they make him exactly the stereotype; he works for a fasion magazine, he wears femenine clothes, has a high voice, loves everything to do with underwear models, spends all his time with girls doing things related to fasion...he's just the definition of stereotypical gay man. its feeding the false stereotype and encouraging people who watch the show to believe that all gay men are like that!!! i think im going to write to the show. anyone know how to contact ABC?

"accident" scene ? Were you able to assist or was it too frightening to get involved ?
(For the ones that were unable to get involved...take heart...it is a scary event to cope with)
