You are awfully impatient, what is the point of refreshing your thread 4 times in an hour?! But you'll be happy to hear that Áine is getting better. See this thread Aine springs forth

Last I heard (read), she was doing fine, and on the mend from herniated disk surgery... but I haven't seen her around lately, so I don't know the up-to-the-minute newz...

Fanx Phillipa and fanx CapriUni...

A momentary bad feeling and just had to know. And yes I guess I'm just a tad impatient but thanks for the info.

Hyp -- I know the feeling... Sometimes, the brain gets in a "doom-and-gloom" rut, and can't get out of it without a little help.

With me, it generally happens when I'm feeling down/stressed over everything-and-nothing-in-particular: lots of little things that would be easy to deal with if they happened in isolation...

But they never seem to do that, do they?

Okay, just got off of the phone with Aine. She has not been well, but is getting better. She had an infection in one of her teeth. Went in for a root canal about two weeks ago and they couldn't finish it because the infection was so bad and her roots so high. So...she's been on antibiotics to kill the bacteria and steroids to reduce the swelling. She goes back to finish the root canal on Thursday.

In the meantime, her inner ear and sinuses are so swollen, she is basically bedridden due to vertigo, ringing in her ears, and nausea. But, as she assured me, it IS better than it was!

All good thoughts, prayers, etc. are welcome and appreciated. I will talk with her, again, after she's been to the dentist and will post an update then.

Thanks,

kat

Thank you, kat, for the update. Looks like Hyper's "feeling" was well founded. ~;o) Wish you the best, Aine!

She is gradually getting better -- but the combination of signifdicant surgery, with anaesthesia, serious sinus infection and root canal operation has left her pretty battered, understandably. She can still laugh, though, given the right provocation! She's awful tired of being sore. Plus there was Spring break which added to the pressures. She's pulling through slowly but surely, I think...

Susan, I wished you'd asked, first. I have no idea if Aine would want that or not. My remarks were for Mudcatters in general.

On a rocky hill in Texas there's a patch of Irish green, Where the Irish tongue is spoken, by an Irish cowboy queen, And she held a distant kingdom in a score of distant lands Where she set our pens a-racing when sdhe issued her commands

Now Áine, sure we need you, cry the Mudcat's frozen tongues Where are the threads you wove us, to make us write our songs We'd be fighting away like ferrets, about any damn old thing Then she'd step out with a story, and she'd challenge us to sing.

Well it might be something comic, and it might be something strange, where you'd think to write a song on that you'd need to be deranged But from all around the planet while you count from one to ten The songs would trickle through the wires, and she'd done it once again.

But she took a pick and shovel , To make a Texas garden for the poppies and the greens

Kevin (McGrath): Bravo! I'm going to copy-and-paste your song onto the Song Challenge thread I linked to in the post above yours (hint, hint!).

God, I must have pushed the wrong button - that's not fit to be seen yet. It hasn't even got the line breaks in, and the words aren't done yet.

Anyway, here's what I've got with the breaks inserted, while I try to fix the words. I'm thinking of Bobby Sands' song McIlhatton as I'm writing it. (The one about a notable poteen maker.)

On a rocky hill in Texas there's a patch of Irish green,
Where the Irish tongue is spoken, by an Irish cowboy queen,
And she held a distant kingdom in a score of distant lands
Where she set our pens a-racing when she issued her commands
Now Áine, sure we need you, cry the Mudcat's frozen tongues
Where are the threads you wove us, to make us write our songs
We'd be fighting there like ferrets, about any damn old thing
Then she'd step out with a story, and she'd challenge us to sing.

Well it might be something comic, and it might be something strange,
Where you'd think to write a song on that you'd need to be deranged
But from all around the planet while you count from one to ten
The songs would trickle through the wires, and she'd done it once again.
Now Áine, sure we need you, cry the Mudcat's frozen tongues
Where are the threads you wove us, to make us write our songs
We'd be fighting there like ferrets, about any damn old thing
Then she'd step out with a story, and she'd challenge us to sing.

But she took a pick and shovel and she swung it like a fiend,
To make a Texas garden for the poppies and the greens
And she swung that pick-axe breaking rocks, like the men who built the West,
But John Henry could have told her, there's a time to take a rest.
Now Áine, sure we need you, cry the Mudcat's frozen tongues
Where are the threads you wove us, to make us write our songs
We'd be fighting there like ferrets, about any damn old thing
Then she'd step out with a story, and she'd challenge us to sing.

Now Áine, take it easy, we'll be waiting here for you
And Áine take it easy, though that's hard enough to do
There'll be songs galore to greet you, and stories we can share
And when you're good and ready, you'll have some for us to hear.
I>Now Áine, sure we miss you, cry the Mudcat's frozen tongues
Where are the threads you wove us, to make us write our songs
We'll give over with our fighting, we'll be gentle, meek and mild,
Till you'll step out with a story, and you'll drive us all half wild

Lovely, Kevin, simply lovely! Hmmm, it seems I'm not leaving strong enough hints, though. Let me try just saying it straight out:

I started a Song Challenge thread for "get well, Áine" songs!! Amos said I was elected to do it, so I did it. Everyone, pleeeeezzze post songs there, so they'll all be in one place for her to look at! The thread is here: SONG CHALLENGE: Get Well, Áine!

(Kevin, I'm copying-and-pasting your revised song there now.)
