Subject: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: katlaughing Date: 25 Oct 01 - 12:31 AM Wondering where our darling Aine, Gaelic Goddess, Keeper of the Songbook, has go to? I know I've sure been missing her. Rumour has it there is an upcoming sighting, so we can hope to catch a glimpse here. I also have it on good authority, she's been a wild woman, so what else is new, eh? But, I mean really WILD, getting into groups of wild people down there in Texas who grow all manner of wild things. Ask her about it! Oh, Aine, darlin'...come out and play with us, too....seeds sown here can grow into seedies, remember? **BG** luvyadarlin' mehitabel |

From: Amos Date: 25 Oct 01 - 11:42 AM Hey, spoke to her two days ago and we are flying out there to round her up and spank her fuzzy green bottom for not showing up here!! Seriously, her new house, Moon on the Hill yclept, has been taking up a LOT of timeas she replants everything in sight. Watch this space -- we'll TELL ALL!!! Amos and BBW |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: SharonA Date: 25 Oct 01 - 11:53 AM Kat, you beat me to it; I was going to start a thread asking the same question. She hasn't posted since September 6th, and I've grown a bit concerned. Amos, I'm glad to hear she's still alive and well – yay!!!!! Give her a nose-tweak for me, will ya? And tell her to get her sore butt back here! |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: katlaughing Date: 25 Oct 01 - 02:48 PM Well, Sharon, thanks. I wasn't worried, as I've had an inside track (I'm going to own the phone company soon) and I know that she has been nesting in her new home, like Amos says, but BOY has she been nesting! Let me tell you, that momma bird has been moving literally TONS, I mean it, TONS of boulders and dirt. There were even some cute young guys from a yard service who've been watching her and her perky wazoos from lifting all those pounds of dirt and rock and asked her if she wanted a job with them! Said they "could sure use a girl like you!" Doncha know any woman in her center-age would enjoy hearing that!? I know she's got a song challenge up her sleeve, but probably not until after Amos and his SO jump-start her music bells, again, so watch out for her, next week and AMOS, DEW TELL ALL, please!!**BG** |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: SharonA Date: 25 Oct 01 - 03:21 PM She never DID tell us what she found in the hole in her yard (from Song Challenge part 50-something). What did she do, dig up a Tyrannosaurus Rex? |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: Amergin Date: 26 Oct 01 - 01:51 AM Lin...some of the toughest women I have ever known were either from Texas...or their parents came from there...I still have the lumps on me head from my childhood to prove it...my aunts were wonderful people... |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: GUEST,chrisj Date: 26 Oct 01 - 09:36 AM Now it all makes sense. According to Gaelic myth the Tuatha De Danann were the people who went to live underground in the hills of Ireland, the'shee'. The Tuatha De Danann were the Tribe of the Goddess Dana or Ana. So Aine has retreated underground! |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: GutBucketeer Date: 26 Oct 01 - 10:09 AM I agree 100% about Texas Women. I was born there, moved away, came back to Marry one, had our kids in Texas, and moved away. We've been in Maryland for 9 years now, and I still feel that I'm just visiting. One thing I have learned over the years is that you don't Mess with Texas or it's women! No matter where they are remember that Daddy is always close by, and Texas Daddies are not to be trifled with when it comes to their daughters! JAB

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: MMario Date: 26 Oct 01 - 10:11 AM Hell, Most Daddies are nothing to trifle with when it comes to their daughters - and brothers and Uncles can get pretty mean too! |

From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 26 Oct 01 - 10:21 AM My dad always sang "Wolverton Mountain" when when I was a teenager and guys came to our home. My Hubby (veterinarian) displayed his castration knife when guys came to our house to pick up our daughter for a date. |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: Lin in Kansas Date: 26 Oct 01 - 07:20 PM LOL! Yep, I'd say that sums it up, Bill D. And Mary, you betcha, no matter how long you're away, you're still a Texican-- and don't nobody make no comments about inbreeding, either, ya hear? Or I'll come whop you upside the haid with whatevah weapon's handy! Aine, hope you're doin' okay and your house is goin' together like it's sposed to. We've missed your light-hearted posts around here! Lin |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: Áine Date: 26 Oct 01 - 11:22 PM We are sitting around getting fat and sassy here at Moon on the Hill and the house is every bit as beautiful as Aine has claimed. ANd above that it is absolutely sparking from every corner with life energies in wild patterns of delight -- dogs, cats, kids and old folks taking turns generating enthusiasm and excitement. It's a wonderful wonderful place tobe alive in, as you might well have expected. PLUS I have touched the sacred Keys from which ALL Song Challenges and concomitant Awards have flowed!! I am speechless with awe!! Aine and hubby doing just fine and as full of P&V as ever; and thegarden looks wonderful!! The amount this gal has done is AWE-inspiring!! More later. There's steak AND Guinness calling! Regards, A. |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 27 Oct 01 - 06:44 AM Great to hear from Áine once more. I was starting to get worried you might have gone off us all, what with all the backbiting and that, and all the heavy non-music stuff.
(Maybe your full name is really Texáine.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: Áine Date: 28 Oct 01 - 06:30 AM Hello Everyone! Yes, it's me, the GG, back at the 'sacred keyboard' ;-) with a silly grin on my face, basking in the afterglow of the Bard and Bardess' visit to Moon on the Hill. They should be getting frisked at the airport right about now, and we should be hearing from them later today -- that's if they don't sleep all day after having to get up at 4 am to catch their plane. What a wonderful, wonderful time we had . . . full of music, laughter, food and stories. I did my best to hum along while I shovelled some good Texas cookin' down their gullets; although I have to say they didn't put up much of a fight . . . ;-) Walks in the wild, gathering seeds, running through the park to the duckpond, swinging in the playground, watching the blue crane fly, jamming with a Merle Haggard song, listening to 'Ode to Joy', debating the vagaries of poetic meter and mood -- these are just some of the experiences of not even two days with these fantastic folks. Lucky, lucky, lucky me... I was hoping to be inspired (and brought 'back to the fold') by my dear Amos and his lady, and they did not fail me. I swore that I would return to this crazy place we call Mudcat, AND issue a new Song Challenge! in short order. I even offered to let Amos have a peek at the 'Secret Book of Challenges'; but, he thought discretion the better part of valor on that suggestion . . . Thank you all for being patient while I was away diggin', plantin' and haulin' in the garden here at Moon on the Hill . . . The Goddess is back in the building now . . . Hugs and snogs to one and all, Áine |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: Amos Date: 28 Oct 01 - 01:16 PM Now to their quieter home the Bards have flown; Lost in the turmoil of the Time God's zones. Weary and happy, tickled, pleased and stuffed! Sure that they were there a week, though never long enough.
Tinted with phosphorescence green from Goddess smiles I have never packed so much fun into so little real-time in my life!! And welcome back, TGG~!!! ML, A

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: Amos Date: 29 Oct 01 - 12:52 PM Sharon: Sorry -- I gave up on the darned ampersand stuff. Aine has the accent but Laine is plain Murrican, and rhymes with Lane. A. |

From: Amos Date: 29 Oct 01 - 11:41 PM For those of you who would liketo share some of the grins, here are a few pictures from a weekend, but they don't capture a fraction of the good times. A´ine says I am allowed to post 'em, so enjoy!! Regards, A |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: GUEST,Den Date: 31 Oct 01 - 10:21 AM Aine good to hear you again. Have you changed your e-mail address? I sent you a message a while back with info on the "Next Market Day",to the address you had given me and never heard anything back but it seems you have been busy. Anyway as I said its good to see you back here and hope to talk to you soon. Den |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: Áine Date: 31 Oct 01 - 10:59 AM Dear Den, Nope, I haven't changed my email address; however, I was having a lot of problems with it a while back. Please send the 'Next Market Day' info again. I'd really like to see it, as that is such a lovely song and I'd like to learn it on the guitar. Here's my e-addy again: doireanne@yahoo.com Thanks for the 'welcome back', a chara. -- Áine |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: GUEST Date: 31 Oct 01 - 12:14 PM My dear, I have missed you. I have missed your chiding me to use (and knock the rust off) my Irish. I have missed your smiling cyber face. AND I REALLY MISSED YOU AT FSGW (remember our "conversation" on Mudcat Radio?)..........**G**. I am so happy you are back. What do I have to do? Come to Texas? Ask Jed about FSGW. Try and make it next year, won't you? Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: Post Your GAELIC GODDESS sitings here!! From: Áine Date: 01 Nov 01 - 09:58 AM A Mhick, a chara chóir -- I really wish I could have gotten to the gathering. I promise I'll make it a point to get to the next one, OK? But, if you feel like moseying on down to Texas, the Moon on the Hill is a great place to end up -- just ask Amos! ;-) Le grá is meas, do chara Áine |
