  - Just Kanye being Kanye and not being able to live without the spotlight on him. I thought it was wonderful of Beyonce to call Taylor onstage and give her a chance to finish her speach. (NT) -- JenK, Mon, September 14 2009, 4:47:45
    - I agree. Beyonce was so classy in asking Taylor to come back on stage to accept her award. (NT) -- Leigh, Tue, September 15 2009, 3:01:54

- My dear dear brother said to me yesterday "I've been thinking about the Gathering last year and what a wonderful, magical, Blessed group of people were here. It was an awesome adventure, Betsy, and I loved meeting all those LallyFolk." He's never read the Books, but knew, just from meeting You, what a unique experience embracing The Books is. Thank you all again, a year later, for helping create a bit of Heaven on Earth for me here in Maine. David and I are talking about hosting another Maine Gathering next Fall.

And each time someone uses the mugs, we tell them the story of our friend Helka from Finland. We get to "visit" with you every day!!! (NT) -- BetsyBarefootspinner, Mon, September 14 2009, 13:58:03
  - We still talk about what a great time it was. What a treat you gave us. (NT) -- jayne, Mon, September 14 2009, 18:11:04

  - How about probiotic low-fat yogurt with canned unsweetened mandarin oranges?? I'll share! (NT) -- JeanClaire*, Mon, September 14 2009, 8:26:19
    - I love yogurt w/granola (particularly homemade granola with LOTS of crunchy seeds/nuts) but I'm wondering if I'm the only one who has issues w/fruit in yogurt (and cottage cheese, too, for that matter). I don't mind flavored yogurt, but I don't like chunks. I LOVE fruit - so I'm not sure why I have this aversion. (NT) -- Lady_Jane, Mon, September 14 2009, 15:59:09
- TREAT FOR THE DAY!!!!>>>>> -- Piper-Mom, Mon, September 14 2009, 6:51:09
  - Johnny, he does it for me. He's a little too short, but I don't think I will have to worry about that. ;) (NT) -- LisaW, Mon, September 14 2009, 6:54:14
  - When a dear friend met her perspective MIL for the first time, MIL commented on the difference in height between DF & her future husband. DF's unthinking response was that everyone is the same height when they are lying down. OOPS! *G* (NT) -- CathyS, Mon, September 14 2009, 7:10:16
    - hahahaha!!! Oops is right! (NT) -- Piper-Mom, Mon, September 14 2009, 7:29:31
  - Love Honny. He is a great actor and love the comment about lying down!! (NT) -- SheltieLass, Mon, September 14 2009, 7:37:20
  - I must be the only one who truly has not one iota of attraction for Johnny - and it goes all the way back to his 21 Jumpstreet days! I don't mind him as an actor, but he is NOT someone I'd want to even touch! LOL (NT) -- Lady_Jane, Mon, September 14 2009, 16:01:08
  - OMG - he is just SOOOOOOOOOOO fine! Love him! (NT) -- Leigh, Mon, September 14 2009, 22:33:40
- I loved The Waltons, saw every episode.. (NT) -- SheltieLass, Mon, September 14 2009, 7:33:38
  - Me, too - it's one of those shows that I always stop to watch if I'm channel surfing and it shows up. Got to see Richard Thomas in 12 Angry Men a couple years ago, and he was fantastic. It only took about 5 minutes for me to stop thinking John Boy was talking! LOL (NT) -- Lady_Jane, Mon, September 14 2009, 16:05:14
- I Caved!! Somehow, I got talked into letting the boys have 2 baby dwarf hamsters. They're supposed to both be males...at least I HOPE they're both males!!! inside>>>>> -- Cathryn_L, Mon, September 14 2009, 9:31:33
  - Time will tell! ; ) (NT) -- Piper-Mom, Mon, September 14 2009, 9:33:22
  - Just be prepared for babies as it is really hard to tell in the dwarf hamsters. (NT) -- Whiskey Eyes, Mon, September 14 2009, 13:51:44
- Anyone in the US have knowledge of how the post office works? An LOLer mailed me a package over 2 months ago & it has not arrived yet. My post office said to fill out a search form, then when I went to get it (the form) the guy at the window said there was no form & it's almost impossible to find something that's not sent w/tracking id. I keep hoping it will show up. Anyone have any other suggestions I could use to find my DVD?? (NT) -- MaryJ, Mon, September 14 2009, 9:54:02
  - Hi Mary, sorry about your dvd. I send stuff to the UK often and the post office tells me that, in order to get a tracking number for overseas pkgs with customs forms, I have to send it Express Mail which is real expensive. What dvd are you waiting for, and where are you? (NT) -- JudyL, Mon, September 14 2009, 10:00:45
    - Thanks, Judy. We're both in the US (I'm in Minnesota) so it should have taken less than 2 weeks with the least expensive mailing option. I'd like to know how things work behind the scenes at the PO so I could think of a way for them to find it. (Why would the person over the phone lead me to believe there was 'system' for finding missing items when there's not??) It's Series 2 of Monarch of the Glen - a great dvd by the way, if you've never seen the show. (NT) -- MaryJ, Mon, September 14 2009, 10:34:02
      - If the sender didn't purchase delivery confirmation of some kind, then there isn't any way for them to trace it. Did they use media mail? That can take a long time but not usually two months. I'd go to the post office anyway and fill out a complaint just to let them know that you aren't getting your mail. Are you sure it was sent? (NT) -- JudyL, Mon, September 14 2009, 11:40:14
- PIPER MOM! (sorry to shout) Can we have Patrick Swayze as TOTD tomorrow since he lost his battle with cancer today? sighs sadly (NT) -- ChessieCat65, Mon, September 14 2009, 17:55:45
  - Rest in Peace, Patrick - we'll miss you! (NT) -- Gina-C, Mon, September 14 2009, 19:05:34
  - RIP Patrick. (NT) -- ladyphantom, Tue, September 15 2009, 4:12:37

- I'm back from Toronto. The film festival was loads of fun. My favorite movie of the festival was "Whip It"... Drew Barrymore's directorial debut about women's roller derby. Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Celebs I saw: Viggo, Matt Damon, Tate Donovan, Mads Mikkelson, Robert Duvall, Richard Kind, Scott Bakula, Keisha Castle-Hughes (from Whale Rider), Gaspard Ulliel (although I didn't know who he was until a fan girl told me -- and wow is he gorgeous!). I will post pictures sometime this week! (NT) -- ladyphantom, Mon, September 14 2009, 19:33:03
U2 Concert. GOING LONG.>>>> -- Janet H., Sun, September 13 2009, 20:39:44
I have to say I was a bit skeptical about a stadium show. I had seen Simon and Garfunkel a long time ago and said never again. But, I love U2 so, I thought what the heck. My DH and DD and DS1&2 sat together. My seat was in another section. My brother and his family were also in another section. My seat I thought was the best, which was the first section off the floor, but off to the side. The sound was fabulous, my only complaint was that each member only came to my side of the walkway once. And I had an overhang above me, so I couldn't see the lights on the very top of the claw. But they sounded great. Now my DH and kids seats were right behind the stage and they had nothing above their heads but the beautiful sky. So, they got the full effect. And the band would walk in front of them numerous times along the walkway. They were truely in heaven. Now my DB's family were in a section above me (section 205, I was in 105) and were also with an overhang above them, but because they were higher there was an awful echo and they couldn't understand anything that was said or sung. So, they had to move from their seats and find a place where the sound was better. This was hard because the show was sold out. They had to keep sneeking from one area to the next. They had heard quite a few other people complaining about the same thing. So, all in all the show was fabulous for me and my family, but not so great for my brother and his family. My advice to anyone buying tickets is to make sure they are not in the 200 sections.

- So glad you had a great time, Janet! I've heard the sound is fantastic, and I'll be sure to be as close to the stage as possible if and when I get to go to the 360 tour. Last tour, I JUST missed out on being in the Ellipse area (in front of the stage) and was stuck behind the next barrier in the second area of the floor. It was ok, but I could hardly see a thing. Sounds like your seat was PERFECT! My family probably wishes I'd sit on my own coz I'm kinda embarrassing at a U2 concert! LOL! (NT) -- Leigh, Sun, September 13 2009, 23:22:40

- If this is the day that Francis Scott Key penned the "Star-Spangled Banner" then this is a day to remember as the beginning of the horrifying bombing of Fort McHenry. It lasted over night, and at the dawning of September 14, Key saw that the large American flag still waved over the embattlements. He was so moved by the sight that on the way home to Baltimore, he penned his poem, initially called "The Defence of Fort McHenry." It was later set to the song, "To Anacreon in Heaven." (NT) -- Merrymags, Sun, September 13 2009, 9:16:01
  - Thanks Merrymegs! Great history lesson. (NT) -- Gina-C, Sun, September 13 2009, 9:31:03

  - I lived in Frederick County, Maryland for several years--we knew a family that owned a house where Key & Lafayette both stayed. It was haunted too. I don't know what happened to the house, the people we knew were elderly then. Frederick has a lot of "Key" references too. (NT) -- Chessie >^..^<, Sun, September 13 2009, 16:52:14

  - Dear Keira, I have had several bread makers over the years. They all work similarly. They are easy to operate. Just choose a brand you are familiar with and know to be reliable. You will be surprised at everything you can so with the machine. (NT) -- DawnW., Sun, September 13 2009, 11:09:29

  - I'm getting ready to use my bread machine today--love it for making pizza dough. I'm on my second machine. The first was a Welbilt that we used for years until it finally wore out. Now we have a Breadman machine that can make larger loaves. It's great--toss all of the ingredients in and it does all of the work. Clean up isn't bad at all either. (NT) -- Lady Jay, Sun, September 13 2009, 11:44:03
    - Jay, I was considering a breadman-makes bigger loaves and when the family are here-well, suffice it to say that I'm sure I'll make more than one loaf!! Breadan only ship to the States apparently but I have a friend who comes to London regularly to see her sister and she'll bring it up for me if that's what we decide. Smell of home made bread.....gotta love it. (NT) -- Keira, Sun, September 13 2009, 12:34:06
  - I just made rye bread in my machine. It's so simple when you buy the mixes. (Yes I cheat but the ones that I get are really good). Both of mine I got from my grandmother, who could use either the machine or make it herself. As long as you read the directions you'll be fine. (NT) -- Chessie >^..^<, Sun, September 13 2009, 12:07:06
    - Well, who knew there were mixes out there for bread!!! I will definitely try them too, lol. (NT) -- Keira, Sun, September 13 2009, 13:47:04
      - I used a brand called KrustEaze for a long time--the rye bread I made today (a bit strong with the caraway seeds, but delicious) is from a Mennonites store in the Virginia mountains. Yanno, I think I sense a road trip coming... :) (NT) -- Chessie >^..^<, Sun, September 13 2009, 16:49:50

  - I make my famous challah bread in my bread machine, but only to the dough stage. (It has to be braided, brushed with egg and baked in the oven.)

- Thanks for all the hints on bread making machines. I was speaking to a friend at work today and she is going to lend me her machine (she doesn't use it). I'll try it before I invest in one. (NT) -- Keira, Mon, September 14 2009, 16:47:57

- 2nd! We're leaving Redmond today and starting the 1200 mile trek back home, via interstates this time. I'm wide awake as of 3:22 this morning. I knew the moment they brought my pasta at the restaurant last night that I should have ordered something else. It was delicious, but SPICY.

- I know I'm a little "late to the game" as they say, but just this week, for the first time, I listened to an audio version of DOA. I am floored on how well Davina Porter portrays all the different characters and I am as drawn in as I am while reading the books. Wish I had started long ago. I've got some catchin' up to do.

- DG has news about the Outlander graphic novel posted on her blog, also tour dates for US, Canada, NZ and Australia. To check out the graphic novel post click here. (NT) -- Lady Jay, Sat, September 12 2009, 7:01:37
  - I checked out the images from the GN on DG's blog and I have to admit that I am not impressed by the likenesses of Jamie and Claire. They've changed radically from the earliest examples, and while that is to be expected, I don't believe the changes are favorable. Now, I acknowledge that they are just one sample..... I wasn't privy to seeing any at some of the functions where DG shared several, but while I'll buy the GN, at this time I am disappointed. The artwork is lovely, though. Kudos to Hoang.

    - Wait till you see Murtagh, he's totally HOT!!! *G* (NT) -- Cherie, Sat, September 12 2009, 10:54:57
      - Umm, I thought that Murtagh was described in Outlander as "weasel-faced." What does a hot weasel look like? (NT) -- JudyL, Sat, September 12 2009, 13:22:31
        
        You'll also see that Jamie's eyes are BROWN, not BLUE. An oversight by Herself? (NT) -- Merrymags, Sat, September 12 2009, 13:51:27
        
        She was probably allowing the artist some freedom of expression. Diana couldn't possibly miss Jamie's eye color. That would be like drawing Claire as a blonde - too obvious to miss. (NT) -- JudyL, Sat, September 12 2009, 14:13:05
        I got the impression that these aren't final and that there's tweaking to be done yet. Probably on the list, eh? (NT) -- Lady Jay, Sat, September 12 2009, 15:28:58
        
        I asked Diana about Murtaugh's attractiveness - she said, "it's told from Murtaugh's perspective". So I guess that means Murtaugh has a high opinon of himself. *G* (NT) -- Maria, Sat, September 12 2009, 15:10:28

- Update on the new three-legged kitty... I'm calling her Trio. She seems VERY content to just lay around, the dogs don't phase her much at all. She has NO interest whatsoever in going outside. She also has used the litter box just fine (yay!), I set it up and put her inside it (it's covered) two different times last night and that's all it took apparantly. The dogs are wary and curious and have been doing a lot of sniffing and avoiding. I was gone for about 4 hours and came home to no flying fur or blood, so that's a good sign. She STINKS though, I have to give her a bath today... oh joy. (NT) -- Sorcha, Sat, September 12 2009, 10:50:16

One of the men on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon in Washington DC was from here in Wick. His mother owned our B&B at one time, and he lived here in our house as a lad.

No, ah'm no deid! -- NewScotty (Alba Gu Brath!!!), Thu, September 10 2009, 14:40:34
Ah didnae want tae shock onybody wi' this post, so ah hud tae pit that warning in the subject!

Aye, it's me and ah'm still on the richt side o' the grass!

As the Ladies of the GMHG group know, I've been having some trouble with my eyes lately. I had to have surgery for cataract removal and astigmatism correction in both eyes. The left eye was done on August 4th and is now completely healed. The right eye was done this past Tuesday and is on the mend - it will take 4 weeks before the eye surgeon can be sure it has healed. The good news is, now that I have two good eyes to see with, I'm amazed at how bright colors are again! :-D

Anyhoo, on to the main topic. I will be going to Diana's book signing of "An Echo in the Bone" at Books & Co. in Beavercreek, Ohio on Saturday, 26 September. When I went to Books & Co.'s web site, I discovered the following, "Line numbers beginning at noon on Saturday, September 26. Please show your books&co receipt for an Echo in the Bone to get a line number". The store will open at 9:00am that morning. So, if you are coming from out of town, I would advise you to be at the store as soon as possible after 9:00am - judging by a previous DG book signing here, it will be mobbed!

I was going to offer to buy some copies of the book for out-of-towners and meet up with you; but they said they couldn't give me separate receipts.

- My DH LOVED X-Files!!! They used to creep me out though but I would watch most of them with him! I always thought it was funny they ALWAYS no matter what have a flashlight with them! It cracked me up because they ALWAYS were going into dark scarey places... (NT) -- NancyH, Thu, September 10 2009, 7:21:11
  - I asked my husband why they would'nt just turn on a light (as he has some experience) and he said that in a room flooded with light all the items are overwhelming, but with a flashlight, looking a items individually, it is much easier to see what you are hunting for or what doesn't belong. I didn't believe it one night until I was fruitlessly searching for my eyeglasses. I got out the flashlight, turned off the lights and found them almost immediately.

    - Beladona, Home, Pennsylvania where that episode was set is not very far from where I live. I am in Central Pennsylvania and Home is a bit to the West. Very much an area where the Peacocks could have lived for years. (NT) -- 'becca, Thu, September 10 2009, 15:16:13

  - Want to know what to see... ask Elenna! She lives there and has for a verra long time! : ) (NT) -- Piper-Mom, Tue, September 08 2009, 14:32:03
  - Mary, my website is being redone and is offline for a day or two. There is a one-page synopsis of the tours at my web address just now. Sorry about the inconvenience; thanks for visiting the website; it should be back up on Thursday. (NT) -- JudyL, Tue, September 08 2009, 16:32:34
    - Ok, glad you weren't hacked by spammers or something.... just looking for a place to daydream about! One day I will get to Scotland!! (NT) -- MaryC in KY, Tue, September 08 2009, 17:45:52
- So since I am 1/2 thru ABOSAA now and came back from the dr today with a sinus infection along with my prescript for z-pac...wondered what Claire would brew up for me??!!! (NT) -- JeanClaire*, Tue, September 08 2009, 13:27:25
  - Probably something like a mixture of goldenseal and coneflower (echinacea) roots..both of which are herbal antibiotics...to be taken as an infusion every four hours, along with frequent helpings of a tomato-vegetable soup laced generously with onions, garlic, horseradish, hot pepper, and ginger. And then an inhalant of crushed peppermint...you can even shove crushed leaves up your nostrils (*laugh* that sounds to me something like Claire would recommend!)...as I'm not sure if menthol and eucalyptus would be available to her (probably not, or at least not easily). Or an oil-based rub with a little mint oil and turpentine, maybe.... (NT) -- Elenna, Tue, September 08 2009, 14:24:46
    - Hahahaha. Laughing cuz that's what I've been doing. Maybe not the goldenseal/echinacea as tea but powdered caplets. Garlic soup and steam with oil of peppermint. Nothing's helping much tho, I am still tired, fluid in my ears, etc..... (NT) -- JC*, Tue, September 08 2009, 17:53:24
    - WOW, Elenna!!! That was like reading right out of the Books!! Do you have some background in herbal remedies or have you just read a lot of Claire's treatments?? (NT) -- ElizabethS, Tue, September 08 2009, 20:19:59
      - Well, it sounds like you have a handle on it, JC...stick with it, it will all help! Nothing much more likely available unless you want to try the turpentine : P (just teasing, though it Was commonly used in the 18th C for a lot of things it likely shouldnt have been!), or else are able to consult an Herbal Practicioner who could prescribe something stronger. Feel better.,lass! And yes, Elizabeth, I am a trained Herbalist. : ) (NT) -- Elenna, Wed, September 09 2009, 3:06:51
        
        I'll pass on the turpentine!! Besides at the present my nose is clear breathing. All that gunk is still stuck up in my sinuses! Oh and I do love Olbas oil for aromatherapy, massage, inhaling. Time to stock up on some more. (NT) -- JC*, Wed, September 09 2009, 3:48:29
- Need some calming and good luck vibes please. We sold our house last night (1 week on the market!) & the house we want is a mortgagee auction next Thursday. I need to start planning and packing and if we don't get the house we want next week then it will be a rush to find a new house! Thanks folks. (NT) -- AmandaW, Tue, September 08 2009, 13:39:24
  - WOW lots of house vibes going out to you! Where are you, if you don't mind? Trying to figure out this current housing market! (NT) -- BetsyG, Tue, September 08 2009, 13:57:27
    - I'm Down Under in New Zealand Betsy. Its just turning to Spring and traditionally a time when the housing market picks up. Its all very sudden & we are hoping that we get the house we want next week as there is a bit of a shortage of houses in our price range available. We may end up renting for a while if we can't find the right place. (NT) -- AmandaW, Tue, September 08 2009, 18:33:28
  - Good luck Amanda, fancy selling in a week in this market, that's fantastic. (NT) -- Margy, Tue, September 08 2009, 14:45:46
  - Wow! That was some good pricing to get your house sold in a week. Good luck and hope you find a house that fits your needs. (NT) -- Gina-C, Tue, September 08 2009, 18:30:59
  - Calming and good luck vibes on the way!!!! (NT) -- ElizabethS, Tue, September 08 2009, 20:21:28
- COVADONGA!!! Sorry to shout, but I have a question about Spanish. What do you call a syllabus for a class. I've found "plan de leccion" and "extracto" online, but I'd swear my Spanish prof. (who was from Spain) used a different word. I just can't remember what it is! Do you have any idea? Muchisimas gracias, amiga mia! (NT) -- Lady_Jane, Tue, September 08 2009, 15:45:10
  - You will get a sore throat shouting for her this week and next. She is on vacation in Asturias. (NT) -- Piper-Mom, Tue, September 08 2009, 17:33:29
    - Where's Asturias?? (NT) -- LindaMc (blushing), Tue, September 08 2009, 17:46:56
      - It is an autonomous principality on the northern coast of Spain. It is along the Bay of Biscay. She has shown me fabulous pics of it!!! Mountains and sea together! : ) (NT) -- Piper-Mom, Tue, September 08 2009, 19:17:59
        
        Whoops! Thanks. :) Asturias is a BEAUTIFUL region! Hope she's having a wonderful time. :) (NT) -- Lady_Jane *shushing now*, Tue, September 08 2009, 20:02:13
        
        She is having a drink of their special cider for me! : ) (NT) -- Piper-Mom, Wed, September 09 2009, 9:57:03
