Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: Amos Date: 27 Mar 05 - 10:25 AM I was out in the morning on this remarkable anniversary, taking a constitutional. The sky was pale blue, tinged with gold, the sun was just over the horizon, and the sky was busy with larks and other odd birds swooping around snatching breakfast from the air. The entire region is bursting with green from the record rains of the last quarter, the houses all looked clean and golden in the sunlight, and the little old Navy town of San Diego has never looked prettier. Life is busy and blooming and pretty happy to be what it is. A Spring dawn like this one is enough to wake up visions of resurrection and renewal in even the most hard-bitten rationalist. Blessing on us one and all, and may your renewals all be joyous. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: wysiwyg Date: 27 Mar 05 - 04:05 PM Thanks, Maine Dog! :~) For the uninitiated, the exclamation "Christ is risen!" and the response "He is risen Indeed!" are a traditional part of culture of many people. A greeting between believers. ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: Once Famous Date: 27 Mar 05 - 04:26 PM Had a dog and fries for lunch. The Jewish hot dog joints are open, thank God. Doing a brisk business in my neighborhood, also. |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: Clinton Hammond Date: 27 Mar 05 - 04:32 PM BBQed Bunny! :-P~~~~~~~ Aestor of the Dawn is one of my favourite excuses for a revel! Let the wine and food FLOW! And off with the togas! |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: LilyFestre Date: 27 Mar 05 - 05:21 PM Hey! No knocking good 'ole Jed Clampett...bunnies and squirrels are mighty tasty little critters! In our house, my husband and I have a tradition of going for a picnic on Easter Sunday. Being that Easter is so early this year and everything here is either slush or mud, we decided to hold our picnic inside today! We grilled hotdogs, had some beans and homemade macaroni and cheese! My mom fixed up some of her famous salad and made a strawberry pie! We even had watermelon! We are in agreement that it makes NO SENSE to spend the entire day cooking in order to celebrate or have a get-together....it's about being together and celebrating the day, and that's just what we did!

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: Bobert Date: 27 Mar 05 - 06:47 PM Well, well, well.... Some typical responses I'd expect form folks who find Faith to be threatening...''' I would think that for those of you (and you know who you are) who think this thread is a fine place to *play* with Christians on this day that maybe yer mamas didn't raise you up correctly... Sometimes it's okay not to show yer butt in public... Jus' MO... Not a biggie here but I kinda expected a little more sensitivity... Peace Bobert |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: frogprince Date: 27 Mar 05 - 07:28 PM Probably the most flat out beautiful Easter celebration I ever saw: a church in Chicago 30-some years ago: A whole bunch of the highschool- agers dancing and whirling up the aisle, with tamborines and whatever else imaginable, to the one perfect song in the world for it; "Lord of the Dance." Hey, Bobert, don't sweat it; even M.G. just messed around a little without screamin' anything foul. Rejoice and let the dance go on. |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 27 Mar 05 - 07:34 PM Hey, Bobert! Today was a joyous day, indeed! We had a great service at the black Baptist church we go to in New Haven.. the Men's Chorus sang and they were really moving. And then, the little kids did a program which ad all the humor and good feelings of a Charlie Brown Christmas Special. I love this day. Too bad some people can't just let you have a joyful day with out trying to diminish it. Fortunately, they can't put a dent in this day! Hallelujah! Jerry |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: jimmyt Date: 27 Mar 05 - 08:00 PM Happy Easter to all and Thanks for the thread Bobert! |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: Once Famous Date: 27 Mar 05 - 08:32 PM May you all be like yeast and rise to the occasion. |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: GUEST,Liz the Squeak Date: 28 Mar 05 - 06:58 PM Well, Thank you Bobert, and a Zalig Paasfeest to you too! Christus is verrezen, Alleluja! LTS (It's Flemish, from Northern Belgium)... |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: GUEST,WYS Date: 28 Mar 05 - 07:00 PM Christus is verrezen, ja! Alleluja! ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: GUEST,Liz the Squeak Date: 28 Mar 05 - 07:26 PM Dragging this kicking and screaming above the 'line'..... The Flemish word 'Paas' and the German 'Pasche' (both translating as 'Passion' and meaning Easter) give us the root of the word Pace - as in the Pace Egging Song..... Here's one, two, three jolly lads all in one mind We have come a pace egging and I hope you'll prove kind And I hope you'll prove kind with your eggs and strong beer And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year Does anyone still go Pace Egging? LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: GUEST,Amos Date: 28 Mar 05 - 07:55 PM Wow, Liz -- I would have been so mistook and thought it came from pax, pacem. The things you learn on the Mudcat! A |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter.... From: GUEST,Liz the Squeak Date: 29 Mar 05 - 01:58 AM Amos - I was surprised too, but it makes a sort of sense, when you think of the tribes that inhabited England mostly having a Teutonic background with Celtic input. 'Easter' origins gives a little more information. A day in which we have learnt something, is a day we have not wasted. The day I learnt how to work a search engine was a bad day for everyone!!! LTS |
