40 years ago today a wonderful thing happened. Becca 72 was born and she's been the apple of my eye ever since.

Becca doesn't drink at all. She doesn't see any advantage in being out of her mind.

Thanks, all. My sister and B-I-L threw a hell of a party for me. It was a blast. All those near and dear to me made it.

Tami, my gift from my boys was - they let me sleep last night!!

Who is this grateful but nameless GUEST for whom sister threw this fantastic party? Am inclined to think its Janie's sis, rather than Becca. Maybe she could post once more and clear up matters a wee bit.

I was NOT hung over. I only had 3 drinks. I was, however, up until 2:30am and then met my Vermont friends for breakfast at 10:30am...

That's correct, Maeve. And he certainly wasn't being brought drinks and snacks by two very attractive ladies Saturday night (Neither of whom was his wife!)

One of my favorite fiddle tunes, that:
The Barnyards O'Delgaty
Line
Melody - Seq. by John Renfro Davis
Line

Traditional Bothy ballad

As I gang doon by Turra Market,
Turra Market for tae fee
I fell in wi' a farmer chiel,
Fae the Barnyards O'Delgaty
Chorus:
Luntin addie, turin addie,
Luntin addie turin ae
Luntin lowrin' lowrin' lowrin',
The barnyards o'Delgaty!

2. He promised me the aye best horse
That iver I set my een upon
But when I gat t'his barnyard,
There's naethin' there but skin and bone.
Chorus:

3. The auld black horse sat on her rump,
Th' auld grey mare sat on her wime
And fer all I'd whup an' crack,
They wouldna rise at yokin' time
Chorus:
        4. When I gang doon tae Kirk on Sunday,
Many's th' bonny lass I see
Sittin' by her father's side,
Winkin' o'er th' pews at me!
Chorus:

5. Oh I can drink and no be drunk,
And I can fecht an' no be slaun,
And I can lie wi' another man's lass
And still be welcome tae my own!
Chorus:

6. Noo me cannle is brunt oot,
Me snotter's fairly on the wane,
Fare-ye-weel ye Barnyards:
Ye'll niver catch me here again!
Chorus:

SINS... I believe you. I have had at least 5 posts diasappear in the past several days. The thread gets refreshed and I go on my merry way, confident that my post made it but when I revisit the thread later... poof! Gone.

I now copy all my posts before I submit them and also keep two Mudcat windows open.

Re the song, one of my favs too.

And, thus, the extraordinarily short-lived myth that "Becca doesn't drink at all" was cruelly shattered by none other than the selfsame Becca!Hurrah?

Ginger ale hardly qualifies as "Drink".

But it does, kendall (you loving dad), if we delete the "ger" and the "ale", for then we are left with gin.

In fairness, I'm not the one who said I never drink at all... I drink very rarely. I had 3 "adult" beverages on my birthday (none of which were purchased or retrieved by me) and will probably not have another for several months. It's just not on my radar.
