We'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne. And surely you’ll buy your pint cup ! and surely I’ll buy mine !


Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?
CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.
CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.
CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS

    Obama family 'costs taxpayers $1.4BILLION per year'
    (that's 20 times more expensive than British Royal Family)

    Which country is a Monarchy?

    Which country bestows such gratuitous waste on it's Maximum Leader that he or she cannot help but be completely removed from everyday reality?

    ---

    Barack Obama and his family cost the taxpayer $1.4billion per year, according to a recently published book.

    By contrast, the British Royal Family costs less than $60million each year

    When the President travels around the country on campaign, he is obliged to take Air Force One.

    His party reimburses the taxpayer with the cost of a first-class air ticket per passenger - but this is far from the full cost to taxpayers.
    It also provides a President running for re-election with a national transport network which is unavailable to his challenger.

    Moreover, much of the money spent on Mr Obama's family goes to perks such as entertainment and household expenses.

    For example, the White House contains a movie theatre which is manned by projectionists 24 hours a day in case one of the family feels like a trip to the cinema.

    And even the Obamas' dog Bo costs the taxpayer thousands of dollars - his handler is reportedly paid over $100,000 a year.

    Another huge presidential outgoing, according to Mr Gray, comes in the form of staff members who can be appointed by the commander-in-chief at his own personal discretion.

    226 members of Mr Obama's staff are apparently paid over $100,000 - and the President can increase their salaries at any time.

    1. What!? Did you expect things would change in am instant? That's naive. Taxes are going up and spending, especially military, is to go down. That's a good thing, no? Unless the pols cooperate and muck ot up.

    2. Not what I meant. Things will carry on. The can will get kicked down the road. The talking heads will find something else to hypnotize YOU with.

    3. No, Ash, not a good thing:

      More cuts in military, more money for destructive social welfare programs that increase at increasingly unsustainable rates.

      While eroding the freedom, power, and initiative of the citizens.

      50 Million people on food stamps and raises for the crooks who buy their votes?

      Give me a break.

    5. Doug,

      If they, the pols, don't reach agreement there will be cuts to spending across the board and tax hikes for all. What is wrong with that?

  4. Les Boys.

    Dire Straits

    Les boys do cabaret
    Les boys are glad to be gay
    They're not afraid now
    Disco bar in Germany
    Les boys are glad to be
    Upon parade now
    Les boys got leather straps
    Les boys got SS caps
    But they got no gun now
    Get dressed up get a little risqué
    Got to do a little S&M these days
    It's all in fun now
    Les boys come on again
    For the high class whores
    And the businessmen
    Who drive in their Mercedes Benz
    To a disco bar in old München
    They get the jokes that the D.J. makes
    They get nervous and they make mistakes
    They're bad for business
    Some tourist take a photograph
    Les boys don't get one laugh
    He says they're useless
    Late at night when they've gone away
    Les boys dream of jean genet
    High heel shoes and a black beret
    And the posters on the wall that say
    Les boys do cabaret
    Les boy are glad to be gay

  5. Yeah...
    All is quiet on New Year's Day
    A world in white gets underway
    I want to be with you
    Be with you night and day
    Nothing changes on New Year's Day
    On New Year's Day

    I will be with you again
    I will be with you again

    Under a blood red sky
    A crowd has gathered in black and white
    Arms entwined, the chosen few
    The newspapers says, says
    Say it's true it's true...
    And we can break through
    Though torn in two
    We can be one

    I...I will begin again
    I...I will begin again

    Oh...
    Maybe the time is right
    Oh...maybe tonight...

    I will be with you again
    I will be with you again

    And so we're told this is the golden age
    And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
    Though I want to be with you
    Be with you night and day
    Nothing changes
    On New Year's Day

  7. Happy New Year to all. Quirk don't go out driving about tonight. Rufus can take care of himself. I do worry about Quirk, if he gets out of the driveway, he might run down some 'banker' or stock jockey, on general equality grounds, like Ash, to whom I want to issue a special Happy New Year, for some unknown reason, you young fraud. I think maybe Ash is the kind of young lazy ass I always wanted to be, golfing and sailing and speculating, and wasn't able to do.

      Robert Burns “A Red, Red Rose,” has nothing to do with this video! Please edit it out and let the song stay. Robert wrote “A Red, Red Rose” in “Scot Dialect” on purpose. He fought to continue the Scottish lowland’s people colloquial speech undamaged. It’s a travesty to merge this anglicised song with the “wordsmith’s verse.

    6. William Shakespeare - Juliet, spoken to Romeo

      :)

      Okay, I googled it.

      Actually, it seems like I read that, somewhere, about 50 yrs ago (I wuz supposed to, anyway.) :)

      About one page of that guy was all I could ever take.

      Delete

    7. It's where Juliet is coming to terms with the fact that Romeo is the son of her father's worst enemy.

      'I don't care if the dude's last name is Satan, I've got the hots for him anyways'

      This was a problem in those days, and could have been overcome with a little patience on Romeo's part, but he was the impatient type, who lived in now, and who had been, by the way, madly and totally in love with what's her name right before his eyes latched on to poor Juliet, but that was then.

  18. Daughter just walked in with the book I wanted. Good ol' Amazon. Then headed out directly to her friends.

    I was encountering the reality of a world of consciousness that exists completely free of the limitations of my physical brain.

    Mine was in some ways a perfect storm of near-death experiences. As a practicing neurosurgeon with decades of research and hands-on experience in the operating room behind me, I was in a better than average position to judge not only the reality but also the implications of what happened to me.

    These implications are tremendous beyond description. My experience showed me that the death of the body and the brain are not the end of consciousness, that human experience continues beyond the grave. More important, it continues under the gaze of a God who loves and cares for each one of us and about where the universe itself and all the beings in it are ultimately going.

    The place I went was real. Real in a way that makes the life we are living here and now completely dreamlike by comparison.....

    from Proof of Heaven, by Eden Alexander III, neurosurgeon and researcher and professor at Harvard

    Well, I could have told this former debunker who taught at Harvard all this years ago but he wouldn't have believed me. Now I have the pleasure of reading him tell about his experience, which completely changed his life, to me.

    Remember when I said our consciousness grows bright without the brain? And you didn't believe me.

    Read this well written and sincere book by Eden Alexander III and you may begin to adjust your thinking a little, and 'lighten up'.

    And that is the Best New Year wish I can offer you all.

  22. 'Later, when I was back here in the world, I found a quotation by the seventeenth century Christian poet Henry Vaughan that came close to describing this place - this vast inky black core that was the home of the Divine itself:

    There is, some say, in God a deep but dazzling darkness...

    That was it, exactly: an inky darkness that was also full to brimming with light.'

    A Neurosurgeon Journey Into The Afterlife page 47-48

    The dove flies through the darkness and the darkness always recedes and that darkness is the mystery of God. Greg of Nyssa

    'It will take me the rest of my life, and then some, to unpack what I learned up there. The knowledge given me was not taught in the way that a history lesson or a math theorem would be. Insights happened directly rather than being coaxed and absorbed. ((((Knowledge was stored without memorization, instantly and for good. It didn't fade, like ordinary information does, and to this day I possess all of it, much more clearly than I possess the information I gained over
    all of my years in school.'))))
