I never get beggars. Something about a loud, 46lbs Jack Russell to trick the kids away.
Rougarou, I was actually thinking of another hymn.:smack:
You know us Whiskeypalians, we have that children’s hymn “I Sing a Song of the Saints of God.”
I can’t help but snort at my memories from this zombie thread. Check out post #13
To pass the time in my mother’s Unitarian church, I’d look through the hymnbook. As a musician, it interested me.
I think my favourite hymn in it was “Morning Has Broken” (most famously covered by Cat Stevens.) Unlike many of the hymns in the book, both the words and the music are beautiful.
There was also a hymn in the book that had really ugly, depressing music. I remember playing it on my bass clarinet - and any sad music automatically sounds more depressing when played on the bass clarinet. It was kinda funny, actually. I found a metal-ish version on YouTube.
When I was a kid, my Father pointed to Issac Watt as the author of some hymns in the Methodist church.
Dad was an electronic engineer, I am now an Instrumentation and Electronic engineer, and the unit of electrical power, the Watt, is named after Issac Watt.
W=I*E.
Watt = current multiplied by voltage.
William Blake wrote the poem for the hymn, Jerusalem.
All my New England Fam & Buds will sleep well tonight
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis a very pleasant 59 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 83 for the day. If only whatever it is that makes my sinuses all ick would go away!
MoldyMistress we did indeed sing that as well last night. I know a lot of people just love that hymn, but I’m all meh about it. I can see kids singin’ it in Sunday School, but I think it’s a silly hymn to sing in church. Interestin’ that it does get sung a lot at funerals. I had forgotten about that thread! HEE!
GhostMidget I really like Morning Has Broken. One of the few I know by heart.
flytrap it may or may not surprise that I knew Jerusalem is where you got the line “dark satanic mill” from.
Ok, I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, irk purtifiation must commence.
Happy Thursday Y’all!

I typed out another day of mono complaining but it just isn’t worth going through it all again, same story, different day.
Today all of the teachers are dressing up so I am doing my best to comply. At least I get to wear jean capris and tennis shoes!
Blurf.
Plottin’ to rot kiddie’s teeth tonight.

Morning all,
Hallowe’en is my favorite holiday. But I don’t think we will get many if any kids. Our house can not be seen from looking down our street, its hidden around a curve. We are the only ones decorated. Oh well, we gonna dress up and wait by the door anyways and then eat all the candy afterwords.
TrickorBRAAAAIIIINNNNZZZZZZ!!!?
Up, caffeinated, off to new job.
Feel better soon, Sticky!
Nut, I Rally Care About My Team, but I behave in public. At home, it’s another story. 
Wait, what? New job? Do we know about this? (I’ve been having a hard time keeping up the past few weeks.)
Oh yeah, now you tell us!
:rolleyes:
Happy Thorsday!
Happy Halloween!
It’s a foggy 54 degrees outside with a projected high of 71.
It feels like it’s 100 degrees inside. I think I’m going to start sleeping with my window open.
Today is irk, and pet sitting. I feel a bit overwhelmed with fitting everything in. Irk asked me to work some hours outside of my normal schedule, it fits in with the pet sitting but it makes my schedule a little tight.
I hope everyone can forgive me, but I’m too tired and cranky to go back through three pages of MMP now that I’m caught up with work. 
Assume I reacted appropriately to everything.
Yesterday as I was leaving work, I mentioned costume stuff, and was informed by a coworker that we were dressing up Friday, not today. I’m glad I said something, otherwise I’d be the asshole in full costume on the wrong day.
However, I find myself unreasonably pissed that we’re saving costume for casual Friday. That’s bullshit, in my opinion. Today is Halloween, dammit. Now I almost don’t want them to see my absolutely awesome costume. :mad:
Got my trick yesterday-a migraine that lasted from about 2pm until 2:30 this morning. I just went home, shut off all the lights, sat in the recliner and put a blanket over my head until the cats jumped on my chest this morning demanding their tribute. The ground is wet, the air is chilly, and I’ve got a bowl of steel-cut oatmeal sitting in front of me.
HAPPY HALLOWE’EN!!!

Think something’s gone a bit funny with the cooling fan in my car- it’s been making slightly funny noises for a while, and it started oveheating a bit today, while I was stuck in traffic. Bah. Will have to get that looked at soon. My housemate (technically landlord, but I feel very silly calling him that) has a gig, so I was dropping stuff off.
We both sort of forgot that it would mean driving right through the city centre twice, during rush hour. Oops. The hazards of non-standard working hours…
And I def’nitely recognised the ‘dark satanic mills’ line, there apparently isn’t an occasion that doesn’t call for someone to start singing ‘Jerusalem’ in England, for some reason…
I am so ready to SCREAM!
Nothing is going right today, I have been late for everything which makes me late for the next thing and even later for the next thing.
One more times thing, last minute dog walk
them maybe I can relax a bit. Before the next thing is due to be done 
This must be the week for it. I feel your pain, 2.99. Lost my 16-year-old pug in September very similarly and my 12-year-old chihuahua just two days ago to cardiac arrest. We know they aren’t with us forever but, boy howdy, do they take a piece when they leave. Hugs!
Vertigo is much better. The Epley exercise I did at home on my own seems to have worked so I am going to cancel the ENT appt for Monday and save some bucks.
Everybody ready for the little beggars, I mean, trick-or-treaters tonite?
