CENTRAL PARK – Look Who Hangs Out There!

Posted in Amuse-bouche du jour, BY THE WAY, Fab Fotos, New York Speaks, Only in New York, tagged , , , , , , , on January 22, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Sometimes I get a bunch of photos from Murray and Fab Foto Friday just doesn’t give me enough space to put a lot up.  So today because I also have an ulterior motive, I’m going to post some of the photos of the Who and What hang out in the park.  Oh so you want to know the ulterior motive?  Well the last few days and all the rest of this week is filled to the top with what is known in Yiddish as tsuris.  

There are ISSUES and more ISSUES with work, with the adult kids, with health, with timing, with trying to be in two places at once and God how I wish I had the power of bi-location!  Anyway, all that stuff is really personal and since I don’t want to put that stuff up on the blog because that I will have to bite my tongue a lot more than in chic!

Thursday’s Top Ten – IRISH Wit & Wisdom

Posted in Thursday's Top Ten, tagged , , , , , , , , on March 17, 2011| 1 Comment »

Green Carnation

Wearin' o' the green

T’is the day for the wearing o’ the green so put  on your green carnation, have  a beer, some  Irish Soda bread and talk a bit of blarney and pass along some Irish wit and wisdom.

  1. of a useless fellow: he’s fit to mind mice at a crossroads.
  2. in praise of strong whiskey:  If felt like a torchlight procession going down my throat.
  3. of a clever thief:  He’d steal the sugar out of your punch.
  4. on trying to change a stubborn person’s mind:  You might as well be whistling jigs to a millstone.
  5. of  a woman who made a bad marriage: she burnt her coal and did not warm herself.
  6. of a talkative person:  That man would talk the teeth out of  a saw.
  7. to someone who committed some small fault:  T’is only a stepmother would blame you.
  8. of very bad music: Aw, that’s the tune the old cow died of.
  9. of a coarse, ill-mannered person using poor language:  What would you expect from a pig but a grunt.
  10. of one who overstays their welcome: If that man came for the wedding, he’d still be there for the christening.

IRISH DIPLOMACY

Is the ability to tell a man to go to hell so that he anticipates the trip.
