A for you. I am multi-tasking here, battling with my insurance company about the delays is getting my car fixed and out of the shop. It’s been there 12 days now and I am not happy with my company’s inefficient service. They are purposely dragging their heels and underbid the cost of the repairs, having an “adjustor” out to see it after it had been in the shop for 6 days to walk around the outside and decide from eyeballing it what work needed to be done. I am quite angry now.

I’m hungry. Does the Macaronic Grill deliver?

Home from my errands and working on a bid-

As “campaign season” ratchets up
Obama’s surrogates face the wall-
Grab pails of macaronic jargon
And wait for their master’s call

When the signal comes, they aim
And start throwing hard and quick
Without any aim or forethought
Just hoping that some will stick

Stay-at-home moms, free birth control-
It all unsticks and starts to fall
So they double down in a corner
And and refuse to play at all

I love it, I love it that the nasty woman who insulted those who stay home with kids got her ass chewed out. I was at home with my cub when she was little, as I’m sure many of us were, and I don’t think it is a bad thing at all.

The visual of a guy with a Brazilian wax is horrifying-ewwwww! I will probably have metrosexual nightmares...

Last night, I was without a camera at just the wrong time-I’d been outside with Husky girl, and as we came in, a large moth flew by my head and into the kitchen. The cats began jumping around and chasing it, with the dog happily running after-until Yeti boy reached up, knocked it out of the air with his big snowshoe paw and gobbled it up while the other 3 just sat down and glared at him for spoiling their fun. I was LMAO, because they reminded me of little kids fighting over a toy.

It was and still is my opinion, that anyone could do my job but no one else could be the mom. A+ for you.

Thank you! I do believe you are right-employees can be hired, but moms can’t-the hours are too long...

Here is the 'macaronic carol' as sung by the King's Singers, with harmony by J.S. Bach:

In dulce jubilo

Another more elaborate setting by the Vienna Boys' Choir, which has all the verses: In dulce jubilo

IN DULCI JUBILO

1. In dulci jubilo,nun singet und seid froh!
Unsers Herzens Wonne leit in praesepio,
Und leuchtet als die Sonne matris in gremio,
Alpha es et O, Alpha es et O!

In sweet rejoicing sing and be glad! Our heart's desire lies in the manger and shines like the sun in his mother's lap. He is Alpha and Omega.

2. O Jesu parvule, nach dir ist mir so weh!
Tröst mir mein Gemüte, O puer optime.
Durch alle deine Güte O princeps gloriae,
Trahe me post te, Trahe me post te!

O little Jesus, I am so sorry for thee! Comfort my soul, O best of boys. By thy great goodness, o Prince of Glory, draw me after thee!

3. Ubi sunt gaudia nirgend mehr denn da!
Da die Engel singen nova cantica,
Und die Schellen klingen in regis curia.
Eia, wären wir da, Eia, wären wir da!

Where are joys, nowhere more than there! There the angels sing a new song, and the bells ring in the King's court. Oh, if only we were there!

(I put the Latin in italics). (I was on my iPhone before and couldn't get to this to post it)

by the way . . . it's "new songs". "new song" would be canticum novum.

. . . back to review of Wheeler's Latin textbook, drat! :-D
