The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

[Darth K'Trava]

Even on my days off, I still wake about that time. This AM was glad I was able to roll over and go back to sleep.

But then I didn't have Mom getting ready for work to keep me awake for a little bit.... She's staying with my sister so she and her BF can work and Mom can watch Sis' son who's sick with the flu.

[size=+4]MORNING WAKE UP CALL!!!!! WAKEY WAKEY HANDS OFF SNAKEY!!!!![/size]

I was up before this was posted so turn off the yelling and size. Yeesh.

I had my hands on some kitty not snakey.

The house I'm house sitting at right now has a cat and two Canary's. The cat was in bed with me.

Better the cat than the canaries.

Twi things can prevent the Flu.

1. During cold and Flu season move to your own private island in the middle of the Pacific for five months. Kind of expensive, but once you get shelter there you can go pretty much any time you want to live. Maybe you'll even get some of the cast of Lost to rent it out to so you can pay the mortgage when you're not there.

2. Two Words: Flu Shot. Granted this has not been available for some of us that are younger but able to fight off the infection. I have Type 2 Diabetes, and was diagnosed in early 2005. I dodged the Flu season for that year, and this year I got the Flu Shot thanks to Insurance. I would have gladly paid $20-$30 for it just to prevent from getting sick and making my sugar go out of control. Cheaper in the long run, but you have to make sure to get it early and have to get it every year.

Okay, so I stole #1 from a television commercial for orange juice, but I think if you have more money than common sense then you can pull it off. That and you deserve all the problems you have with the Playstation 3.

Just my 1/4 pound.

5:30 for me. Something wakes me up around that time almost every morning. Sometimes I can get back to sleep.

Well uh ... I get up at about 3:45 am each morning.

Guess it's just that inner alarm clock sorta thing. :\

Even if I am up all night and go to sleep at noon the next day, I still wake up 5 or 6 hours later and have the dickens of a time getting back to sleep....

Oh yes, and by the way - hello everyone.

The cat was in bed with me.

Yes sir! I have a VERY furry Himalayan who is especially so this time of year who also sleeps at the foot of the bed and keeps my feet warm. I like to sleep in cold rooms ... easier for me somehow ... so the cat is a great consolation. She also keeps my from kicking the covers off.

I too like to sleep in cold rooms. With big blankets to keep me warm. I like my face to be cool when I sleep. Don't know why. In our old house we had electric heat and we set the temp for each room so I could have the baby's room warm (cause they don't sleep with blankets) and my room cool. Doesn't work that way in the new house. :\

Do you have a favorite Irish folk band Mycanid? Mine is by far Fannigan's Isle They were my favorites before I even realized they are a local band. I love both of their albums. The best one is the Rambles of Spring, but ufortunately it is no longer being made. Of course, I have a copy

Lessee ... I am a great fan of the Chieftains. I also like the Altan.

There are also the Bothy Boys, DeDanaan, the Boys of the Lough and the Battlefield Band. I guess some of the latter are technically Scottish bands though.

I am also very fond of Silly Wizard - aMAZing instrumentals, especially between the Cunningham brothers. The fiddle playing of Alasdair Fraser is quite good - some of his stuff is so beautiful it makes me cry to this very day . I LOVE the voice of Jean Redpath (Scot). Maddy Prior (a Brit) is also a favorite. Noirin Ni Rain is a very, very beautiful singer as well.

Hmm ... that is all I can think of off the top of my head for the present that I like.

Oh ... if you count Enya (although many would argue she is New Age) I like her too.

 

[Aurora]

I have a couple Chieftans discs and I have heard Altan. I love Enya but yes, she is more new age. Never heard of the other ones.

 

[Mycanid]

Battlefield Band is pretty easy to find. Same with Jean Redpath. (That is, you could probably find a lot of their stuff on amazon.com and similiar places.)

The others are a little harder, it is true. Many of them are either mid to late 70's bands, although Silly Wizard, now broken up, was together only for a few years in the mid to late 80's. And since Johhny Cunningham died last year (I think it was last year) the original "combo" won't happen again. Ah well.

By the way, there is another I forgot about. Emma Christian. She is a singer of the traditional folk music from the Isle of Mann. BEAUTIFUL stuff.
