» Posted By Mightywoof On January 12, 2011 @ 7:15 pm 😆 – we have them here too but they will insist on playing the piano and singing to prove they’re just like us 🙄 » Posted By Mightywoof On January 12, 2011 @ 6:52 pm Have you read the link to Bob Cescda’s article that Kalima posted below – it’s a real hoot with a lot of memorable phrases about SP’s noncompoopery 😆 Yeah – it what a true leader is – can we have him if you guys don’t want him any more 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On January 12, 2011 @ 6:45 pm It was shocking although a few months ago I remember thinking that he was getting a little grey – so you’re right, it seems to have happened overnight! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 12, 2011 @ 6:41 pm “…… it looks as if he has gone grey overnight.” I just said the same thing to hubby, Kalima. His job takes a lot out of any person who occupies the Oval Office, doesn’t it? » Posted By Mightywoof On January 12, 2011 @ 6:25 pm I hope none of you take this the wrong way but as I listen to this powerful speech from this very humble and good man I keep thinking to myself he’s just too good a person for America. He’s been reviled since before the day he took his oath of office, he’s been criticized for things done and not done, things said and not said. No matter what he does or says it will never be enough for any on the right and a lot on the left. He deserves better than he has received. » Posted By Mightywoof On January 12, 2011 @ 6:22 pm Call me an ol’ softie but I have tears in my eyes and I think Michelle Obama did too – the President was very moved and moving speaking about those who died. » Posted By Mightywoof On January 12, 2011 @ 6:04 pm This has been such a senseless tragedy for your country and I’m at a loss for words to describe the sorrow and the horror I feel – especially for the bright and engaged 9 year old girl who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and lost her life. I hope America can wake up and step back from the brink of where you seem to be heading. Peace my friends » Posted By Mightywoof On January 10, 2011 @ 7:12 am I’m glad I watched right through to the end Patsy – I was getting hotter and hotterer under the collar I’m not wearing 🙂 I’ve been reading so much in the last couple of days about this massacre and I’m horrified that the call to cool the political rhetoric has served only to fan the flames – the rw is defensive but are getting their memes out there (one I’ve come across in several sites is ‘blood libel’ – whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean) and the lw is getting angry that the rw just doesn’t get it. In all this the tragedy of what happened has been forgotten and the fight goes on. » Posted By Mightywoof On January 10, 2011 @ 7:05 am Friday Music Thread–Pull String to Open I have chills listening to this Khirad!! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 7, 2011 @ 2:36 pm I love strings from all over the world Ravi Shankar – Sitar and Violin duet (the video is messed up but the music’s OK) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNohgbLF0eI …….. and now I can’t play any more – hubbys’s on the way home and I have to go start supper. » Posted By Mightywoof On January 7, 2011 @ 2:34 pm Some Cape Breton fiddle music from Natalie MacMaster
» Posted By Mightywoof On January 7, 2011 @ 2:28 pm Waaay back in ’91 when my Mum & Dad were visiting, I bought Dad a tape of violin concertos and he sat on the sofa listening to this with tears running down his face. I think it is one of the most beautiful violin pieces I have ever heard and, when my Dad died, this was played at his funeral Itzhak Perlman – Bruch Violin Concerto #1, second movement
» Posted By Mightywoof On January 7, 2011 @ 2:21 pm Wow Bito – thanks for introducing me to Stanley Clark. What a musician!! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 7, 2011 @ 2:09 pm The beauty of that language really does reduce me to tears! We are lucky enough to live an hours drive from Stratford (Ontario) and we go every year to see a couple of plays (as an aside – I am now used to Shakespeare in an un-English accent 🙂 ) …… the only play of Shakespeare`s I detest is Titus Andronicus – what a dreadful play! We`ve seen Merchant 3 times – two of them were awful (John Neville and Graham Greene) and one was totally brilliant (Brian Bedford). It clearly illustrated how the same words can be spoken with different approaches and produce vastly different reactions *………. a poor player, » Posted By Mightywoof On January 7, 2011 @ 4:57 am Hey – what have you got against Alex 😆 » Posted By Mightywoof On January 7, 2011 @ 4:36 am It took me a moment, and a second glance, to realize that your wonderful portrait illustration is composed of…words Good grief – good eyes Kes!! I had to zoom in my browser to see them. Is there no end to your talent wts? » Posted By Mightywoof On January 6, 2011 @ 10:15 am I’m totally gob-smacked wts ……… how do you live in your mind? It is filled with so many beautiful thoughts and images and imagery that, if I were you, I would be in tears at all that beauty! I have to echo Cher – an exquisite piece!! I love the thought of lines and curves reproducing randomly and coming up with War and Peace » Posted By Mightywoof On January 6, 2011 @ 9:14 am I’m having a hard time commenting on this article because I’m not an American and I’ve never lived in America – I’ve been a neighbour for close to 40 years, though, and it’s always struck me that sentencing is barbaric in a lot of instances – a life sentence for $11 (and ‘3 strikes you’re out’ and many life sentences to be served consecutively)? I’m not saying that Canada is squeaky clean when it comes to racism and the law but at least, so far (who knows what this damned Conservative government will do next), our sentencing hasn’t become so draconian that the punishment no longer fits the crime. Travesty of justice doesn’t come close to describing what happened to these women and the outrageous condition imposed on them for their early release – totally, totally barbaric. » Posted By Mightywoof On January 6, 2011 @ 5:44 am Happy Anniversary, Oh Planet Plenipotentiary! Here’s TOOT-ing for TOOT ……….. and the Bito Man – you done good 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On January 4, 2011 @ 7:50 am none taken 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On December 31, 2010 @ 5:08 pm Happy New Year Cher! I love Auld Lang Syne even thought I’m from England – happy memories of family no longer with us. On night’s like this I think of them with a small touch of sadness but, like Kalima, I shall look forward to the next year whatever it may bring! » Posted By Mightywoof On December 31, 2010 @ 4:23 pm My sassenach sis lives in Scotland and tells me that, sadly, the Hogmanay is slowly dying out! Most of her neighbours are in bed by midnight and nobody first foots any more! Yeah – it’s those dastardly English – it’s a conspiracy I tellya 😆 » Posted By Mightywoof On December 31, 2010 @ 4:19 pm HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY MR. TO/OT!! THANK YOU!! Oh my Kalima – what a lovely post, wonderful poem and that kitty ‘n butterfly is too cute (is that really you 😆 Happy Annies to TO/OT!! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 4, 2011 @ 7:54 am Wow Buddy – you have outdone yourself! What a beautiful work. » Posted By Mightywoof On June 16, 2011 @ 5:56 pm I feel sooooo unfree 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On June 10, 2011 @ 5:50 am Tommy Douglas, a baptist minister, was involved in politics and became a serving member of both provincial and federal houses of parliaments (being Premier of Saskatchewan and leader of the federal NDP) for 45 years until he retired in 1979. If you’re interested, here’s a CBC review of his life introduced by Barbara Frum, mother of the infamous (?) David http://archives.cbc.ca/politics/parties_leaders/topics/851/ Another ‘socialist’ was Stanley Knowles – a Californian who emigrated to Canada, became a United Church minister, and, as a federal MP, was hugely influential in the introduction of the Canada Pension Plan. He was so well-respected that, on his retirement from politics, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau made him an honorary table officer in the House where Knowles could watch debates and was frequently consulted on points of order due to his expertise on house rules. » Posted By Mightywoof On June 10, 2011 @ 5:48 am Well I’m totally outraged that this pinkie-commie socialist health care system found hubby’s cancer, made him have surgery within 4 weeks and saved his life ….. then they have the nerve to make him go back every year to make sure he’s still healthy and haven’t charge us a penny- HOW DARE THEY *snark* 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On June 10, 2011 @ 4:37 am Sorry – I forgot the link 🙄 » Posted By Mightywoof On June 7, 2011 @ 4:53 am Hi everyone – I’ve not been around for a while – busy, busy, busy – but I do come in and have a quick read every day. I just heard mentioned on CBC radio a few minutes ago – ’tis awesome as they say!! A map of newspapers around the world. Apparently, click on a pin and you get taken to that newspaper which is translated into English – I haven’t tried it yet but CBC loves it!! » Posted By Mightywoof On June 7, 2011 @ 4:41 amComments Posted By Mightywoof
