Rare richwmn Posted March 4, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Today is Holy Experiment Day, Hug a GI Day, and Marching Music Day Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.

Rare rafinmd Posted March 4, 2021 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thank you for the Thursday Daily, Rich. An interesting collection of days, all of which sound quite nice.

Rare puppycanducruise Posted March 4, 2021 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Good morning. Thanks for the Daily Report. As always an interesting collection of days to celebrate. A quote to ponder. Dinner sounds good. Looking forward to reading about the wine and drink of the day. I heard on the radio that Cadbury is joining with a brewery to produce a Cadbury creme egg beer. I guess that will go with the drink of the day. Sending prayers to everyone on the care list. Cheers to all who have something to celebrate. Stay safe. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobieb Posted March 4, 2021 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thanks, Rich and Roy, for the great information. I can’t wait to find out what a Holy Experiment is! The quote is quite thought provoking. Be safe. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfish Posted March 4, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Good morning, everyone. We're continuing with our sunny days here in northeast Ohio. We're going to take advantage and get in a hike this morning. It is chilly, with a high of 34, but we don't let temperature get in the way. We just bundle up more. Now, rain will stop us. Today's quote goes well with marching music day. I remember in grade school our "phys ed" class consisted of going down to the large hall and marching for 45 minutes to John Phillips Sousa music. Today's meal sounds good. I made beef stroganoff recently and used zucchini spirals in place of the noodles to save on carbs and get more vegetables in the meal. I suppose the same would be possible here. https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/school-night-sausage-stroganoff/ 24 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted March 4, 2021 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our morning smile 🙂 Great collection of Days. While I realize Holy Experiment Day references Penn, I read that you can celebrate by praying for something that probably won’t happen - so I’ll pray for Spring today to celebrate 😉 Love the quote and the meal suggestion sounds good. The drink of the day name had me envisioning melting a chocolate Easter bunny 😂 The vaccine news here just gets more and more frustrating for me. I decided to deal with stuff that is upsetting me: And I’m going to try to do more of this: My excitement for the day - Marley is off at long last this morning for a very overdue grooming. First we had to cancel because of his surgery, then we had to wait until x time had gone by after the stitches came out, then my groomer cancelled because of the severe cold and the risk to him, then I couldn’t get off the driveway because of the ice. Looks like finally, the way is clear. Now I just have to get the dam dog in the car 😉 Yup, life is pretty boring here 😉 Prayers for everyone on Roy’s Care list & for those that need them. And a toast to everyone on the Celebratory / Shout Out list. Thanks @rafinmd for the heads up on the Port Everglades sail a way. Have a great Thursday everyone! Stay safe and warm and please don’t forget your masks! 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose of the day is to try something religious. It is a day for experimenting with prayer, getting someone to consider your religion, or for trying out a new religion. When experimenting with prayer, prayers may be said for things that would seem like miracles if they occurred, as well as for things that seem more possible. The day is also for seeing what the effect the religious experiment had: were prayers successful, has someone considered changing their religion, and were you enlightened with your experiment with a new religion? 21 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer slope Posted March 4, 2021 #8 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Good morning. Thank you Rich and Roy for your dedication. Debbie the meal looks delicious. Interesting quote. I've never been to Japan, DH traveled there often for work. Toasts and prayers for our lists. Love that the Thai sailors rescued the cats, you all know how we here feel about our cats. Stay safe, social distance, and wear your mask. Chocolate Bunny cocktail: Ingredients 1 1/2 ounces crème de cacao (dark) 1/2 ounce vodka 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup 1 teaspoon cherry brandy Steps to Make It In a cocktail shaker, pour the crème de cacao and vodka. Add ice and shake well. Strain into an old-fashioned glass with fresh ice cubes. Float the chocolate syrup and cherry brandy on top by pouring them over the back of a bar spoon. Some chop the top of a hollow chocolate bunny and use it as the glass. 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel quite educated now. Thanks for the tutorial. For some reason, my mind went to mischievous thoughts. Perhaps because DH is a scientist with a wicked sense of humor. But.....the thought is challenging, isn’t it? I feel that it is a reminder to stop and ponder deep thoughts for a good purpose. Thanks, Rich. Everyone in our house has gotten the 2nd vaccine. Few if any side effects. We feel quite lucky to have had access and get time a slot. Fingers crossed that everyone soon has this access. Waiting now for DD , a school counselor, to be able to get the vaccine. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StLouisCruisers Posted March 4, 2021 #13 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thanks for that interesting group of days, Rich. Today we have a port I haven't been to yet so will be interested to see what our Dailyites have to say about it. Hopefully pictures, too! As usual prayers and shout-outs to our care and celebration lists. Thanks for letting us know about a ship in Port Everglades, Roy. My one and only cruise scheduled for 2021 has been cancelled by Princess due to UK guidelines. It began and ended in Southampton and included Scandinavia, Baltics and Iceland. Late August to late September. I will have to see if we can fit in a replacement of that cruise in 2022 because we are busy with two Grand Voyages in 2022. From here I'd better go to Kazu's thread to let her know of our cancellation. If my January 2022 Grand South America and Antarctica sails as scheduled it will be 23 1/2 months since our last cruise! Yikes!! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have been so proud of his many accomplishments. What an intelligent and accomplished man he was. My favorite was his favorite travel spots "Antarctica and South Georgia".

ger_77 Posted March 4, 2021 #18 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Good morning, thanks for the Daily! I think every day is a Holy Experiment day here, praying that we get our Covid shots . . . the experiment isn't working as fast as we'd hope. I'd love to hug a GI, but we don't have any around, so I'll hug DH instead. While we don't have any marching music, judging by the way my pants are fitting, I think it's time I marched down to the treadmill! Of course, you had me at chocolate with the drink of the day! An even easier version that we call the Chocolate Bunny is to tear, eat, or chop off the ears of a chocolate bunny, fill it with Bailey's, top with whipped cream and consume. Thank you @rafinmd for sharing Roger's obituary; he sounds like he was a lovely man. Again, I am sorry for your loss. The menu suggestions are good - loving the blackberry soup that Roy's has - but I have a pork loin that's going into the slow cooker today. It's time for some pulled pork sandwiches tonight. I think I'll make a batch of buns and toast them to make the sandwiches. Combined with a simple coleslaw will make a good dinner for us this evening. And wine. Prayers for everyone who needs them and even for those who don't think they do. Extra hugs for Roy. Clinking the glasses together tonight for all on the happy list. Be well, stay safe, wash your hands and wear your mask(s). Smooth Sailing! 🙂🙂🙂🙂 Gerry Edited March 4, 2021 by ger_77 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat shepard Posted March 4, 2021 #19 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thank you for yet another wonderful Daily, Rich! And educational. I think some of us conduct a Holy Experiment with our Care lists. Though I really do not like the idea of thinking about it as an experiment. It almost seems to trivialize it. Does hugging retired GIs count? I have quite a few on my street. It will have to wait until everyone is vaccinated, though. I always loved marching music, especially pipe & drums! Roy, thank you for keeping our lists! Morning Dailyites & my Sisters! I really appreciate everyone sharing their stories & pictures of the port du jour! Today’s quote is deep & thought provoking! I love the drink, though might change the brandy. The meal sounds great, and Debbie, I love your carb reducing idea. I prefer my carbs in dessert, bread, or wine. It is a bit nippier this morning, but the world was awash in the light of the rising sun, when Bindi and I did our morning walk. Even the birds were singing everywhere. And at least two big groups of migrating birds crossed our skies. It might have been three, but two groups were so close together, I believe they were part of the same group. Spring is coming everyone! Tonight I am having chicken breast stuffed with jalapeños and some type of cheese. And roasted veggies. Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating! Stay well everyone! ******* This dry German Riesling has excellent - superb ratings, and a decent price. I found several online distributors with a price starting around $35. The vintner noted that they “hit it out of the park “ with this vintage. Wine Enthusiast Ephemeral compared with grand cru expressions from the Mosel that are increasingly stout, this finely etched dry Riesling offers invigorating lemon and yellow-plum flavors layered in smoke, flint and dusty minerals. It's lithe but silky, too, with a bracing steel edge. Tasted in 2020, it's brilliantly fresh. Should continue to improve well through 2035 and hold further still.

smitty34877 Posted March 4, 2021 #25 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Good morning to all. Interesting days , drinks and quotes. Thank you Roy for sharing your brother's obit. He led an interesting life and I am so sorry for your loss. Like Kazu with Marley today, I spent part of yesterday getting my overgrown cockapoo Fred to the groomer. Dogs are funny-they can be like people when they know they look good. We walked around the neighborhood and he positively pranced with pride in his appearance. I look forward to finding out about the port. Terry 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
