Cool crazy and funny coffee mugs make great gifts
@teddletonmr that was the way I used to drink my coffee too, until sidelined by a bad reaction to a cup, resulting in a long course of antibiotics and water. I can still drink it if it's half milk and half water but it's safer to stick to tea ...

Recognizing Dementia in Your Parents: More than Just Forgetting
I have a feeling my mother's side of the family is prone to this, as well as the arthritis, just to add insult to injury. Thanks for the chance to recognise that my aunt is probably already in the early visible stages of the disease. I'll be ...

The Many Tones and Undertones of Color Pink
This is a fun article about the lovely color pink. And I never knew that the tacky pink flamingos originated in Massachusetts! Congrats on the EC award too!

Féar Gortha: The Irish Hungry Grass
Thank you very much, Frank. I've now added it to the end. Please let me know if you want anything there changing.
I'll have to look out for the book. Thanks!

Féar Gortha: The Irish Hungry Grass
I do not mind that you add it to the article. There were two of the witnesses, both students for the Catholic priesthood. One, John, was a tough-minded no-nonsense sort of guy who dismissed ghosts until that day. The other,Mike, was a quieter, ...

Haunted Battlefields: The Ghosts of Killiecrankie
Ah! That would explain it. I'm still noting the rich variety of whisky in memory. :)

Communism Deluxe Tour of Nowa Huta in Krakow
Apparently the Trabant used to be painted to advertize the tours. It had a huge red star on it. But the Polish government have recently made it illegal to promote Communism. The rules are so stringent, that Crazy Guides Tours had to repaint ...

Féar Gortha: The Irish Hungry Grass
I've never been to the west of Ireland, but it's most definitely on my bucket list. I'm 98% certain that I have genealogy in Antrim; and there's a possibility of Galway too, though the latter is much more tenuous.
Connemara sounds amazing. ...

Becoming more self-reliant
One thing strongly struck me was that self-reliance is not necessarily solitary. Today I was helped by my son, and we got the work done in alf the time. As I have raised beds that I was filling with compost, he could help me lift the laden ...

Communism Deluxe Tour of Nowa Huta in Krakow
I admit the Trabant idea is great for business. I still remember them. I'm glad you had a great time. The views look familiar. Many of the towns built from scratch (or almost) in Communist times look like that over here.
From British books about ...

Féar Gortha: The Irish Hungry Grass
Connemara is something special, a strange, ancient land of rock,bog and lake that stands out from the distance as a majestic view. I have some ancestors from there, but no living relatives. Those who have lived in the West of Ireland, as I did ...

Presidents Who Served First as Vice-Presidents
I never knew much about any of those presidents (except that Theodore Roosevelt is one of the faces of Mount Rushmore). I never knew there were so many presidents who were vice presidents! Thanks for sharing your history here.

Haunted Battlefields: The Ghosts of Killiecrankie
Same! Red Squirrel Campsite was so gorgeous! We got it out of the Cool Camping Scotland book. Did you check out the massive variety of whisky in the pub down the bottom of the slope? I most certainly did!
It was the hospitality angle which ...
