Cùpla Focal: Colloquial Irish
http://phouka-focal.blogspot.com/2008/09/colloquial-irish.html
Musings, quibbles, notes, and commentary from a hapless English speaker learning Irish Gaelic. I had entirely forgotten that I'd ordered this book and CD combination. I guess I pre-ordered it months ago when it showed up on my search for 'irish gaelic' on Amazon.com. At any rate, it showed up this week and I took some time to page through things. (I love pre-order. I always forget what I have queued up and it's like getting presents every couple of weeks! Url=http:/ www.blingforfun.com]hip hop je...
Cùpla Focal: July 2008
http://phouka-focal.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Musings, quibbles, notes, and commentary from a hapless English speaker learning Irish Gaelic. Irish threw me for a loop when I first started: nowhere in English do the fronts. Sure, we add prefixes to words to change meaning. But we don't start mucking about with the starting letters to denote plurals or present vs past tense and things like that! Most languages change the endings. Of words to indicate case/time/person (or sometimes the middles - life and live are an example of mutation in a word).
Cùpla Focal: Spelling Rules
http://phouka-focal.blogspot.com/2008/08/spelling-rules.html
Musings, quibbles, notes, and commentary from a hapless English speaker learning Irish Gaelic. Everyone with familiar with the Irish spelling rule caol le caol, agus leathan le leathan. Broad with broad/slender with slendet. This basically says that the vowels on either side of a consonant have to be of the same type. It actually makes Irish spelling very regular, despite the rather bizarre combinations of letter that show up. If we remember that "h" isn't actually a letter,. For example, is now ríocht.
Cùpla Focal: Surnames
http://phouka-focal.blogspot.com/2008/08/surnames.html
Musings, quibbles, notes, and commentary from a hapless English speaker learning Irish Gaelic. The rules for Irish surnames (well, traditions; 'rules' is probably a bit harsh) note that the common prefixes Ó and Mac/Mc in Irish denote 'grandson of' and 'son of' -. Seán Ó Conaill - Séan, grandson of Conall,. Máirtin Mac Mathúna - Martin, son of Mahon, etc. This is a surprisingly recent idea for most cultures. The idea of 'surnames' being carried from generation to generation. Married women don't tradition...
Cùpla Focal: September 2008
http://phouka-focal.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Musings, quibbles, notes, and commentary from a hapless English speaker learning Irish Gaelic. In standard Irish, most words are stressed on the first syllable - capall is KA-pull, sasta is SA-sta. Easy enough to remember, since there are only a few exceptions for native Irish words. A few words (amach, tobac) are stressed on the second syllable. Any good pronouncing dictionary shows the stress on the word (and any secondary stresses that might be in place). On the various tapes/cds, etc, that I have, it...

Shameless Self-Aggrandizement: No incidents today!
http://phouka.blogspot.com/2015/07/no-incidents-today.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. I managed to successfully take a shower without falling, slipping, banging, or otherwise damaging myself. Yeah! Of course, the Adorable Husband was there the whole time and it took 45 minutes, but I feel. so much better! Whoever tells you that 'bathing' with a washcloth and washing your hair in the sink is good enough- -lies. It's not. After a few days you feel awful and grimy and disgusting. One more step towards normalcy. :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Not the worst news.
Shameless Self-Aggrandizement: May 2012
http://phouka.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 17, 2012. Well, oops. Sorry about the removed video - hope you had a chance to see it before it disappeared. Wednesday, May 16, 2012. I clicked on the link, thinking I'd take a quick peek at the map.and was mesmerized for the entire 11 minutes. It's fascinating to watch how things changed.

Shameless Self-Aggrandizement: August 2015
http://phouka.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Do not flex ankle! And it was starting to be an all-consuming obsession. I know I move my foot at night when I sleep, but now I can do it purposefully and not worry about it. Weird when that sort of thing makes you happy, isn't it? And then I get to do the OTHER foot! It's a hassle, and I'm very slow, but it's good to be able to do it myself. Sunday, August 02, 2015. Can I come into the Out Now? Lazy weekend, spent most of it watching TV and doing crossword puzzles - I can't s...
Shameless Self-Aggrandizement: March 2012
http://phouka.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 09, 2012. Book Nerds are thrilled! How seriously cool is this? Simple, re-usable, un-loseable (critical for me, anyway).very cool. I may have to try some of these! Of course, there are some drawbacks; if someone flips through your book, you'll lose your page, but as someone who tends to either slip little pieces of paper into books or (gasp! Fold pages, that happens anyway. Now, will it mean I'll give up my Kindle? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
Shameless Self-Aggrandizement: Not the worst news
http://phouka.blogspot.com/2015/07/not-worst-news.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. Not the worst news. Well, my wrist isn't broken, or at least nothing obvious is - there are so many little bones taht something could be bashed, but it was proclaimed a significant sprain and they sent me home from the ER with a splint and more pain meds. I am Queen of the Klutzes! Sorry to hear about your foot problems and then a fall to complicate matters. I can relate - so you really have my sympathy! I have been feeling very sorry for you!

Shameless Self-Aggrandizement: Three Week post-op
http://phouka.blogspot.com/2015/07/three-week-post-op.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. So, Mark got to review the MRI from last week (which is pretty cool, I must say), and we both got to look at the "after" xrays and see just how much bone he removed from my heel to get the bone spurs and Haglund's deformity removed. I should have copies of them soon, I'll post them when we get the CDs. But - and here's the fabulous news! He figures that if my fall didn't do any damage, what could I possibly do while sleeping? Sleep well, dear Robin. I have too many books, too li...
Shameless Self-Aggrandizement: June 2015
http://phouka.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Following the instructions for no food or water from midnight on wasn't too bad- especially since we discovered that Dairy Queen is open until 11pm. We spent last night getting everything set up in the. Icing room, charging all the various electronic devices I have, and letting me just freak out a bit. Im supposed to ice and elevate for the next 48 hours, and pretty much do nothing. Slept the rest of the day, mostly. Watched a bit of tv while ensconced in the Throne, and shimmed u...
Shameless Self-Aggrandizement: July 2015
http://phouka.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. 4 Weeks Post Surgery. A Month out - things are going well. I went in this afternoon to have the stitches taken out (finally! OW OW OW OW OW! Seriously, that HURT. I wasn't expecting it to; the only other time I've had stitches that needed to be removed, they were old-fashioned, single-stitch silk. Taking those out was simple: clip the stitch and tug the 1/4" or so of thread out. Slow progress, but progress! Get me OUT of the house! Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Slightly less gruesom...
Shameless Self-Aggrandizement: Well...@#$%))##
http://phouka.blogspot.com/2015/07/well.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. I finally got situated to take a shower tonight - can take off the boot, have a waterproof leg thing to keep my foot dry, shower chair, etc. Great! I was done, half-dressed, and leaned to open the door to call Mark to help me get the boot back on.and slipped and fell. I don't know if I stepped flat, just hit my foot, or what happened. I don't really remember what happened. I just remember that it just might be the most pain I've ever been in. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
Shameless Self-Aggrandizement: Day 14 - Insurance Annoyance
http://phouka.blogspot.com/2015/07/day-14-insurance-annoyance.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Day 14 - Insurance Annoyance. I've been icing and elevating, and my heel is feeling ok - no more painful than it was before, mostly.A twinge now and then, but doing ok. I'm hoping that this is a good sign; that this means I didn't rupture or tear anything off my heel. Not medically necessary, an xray shoudl be just fine for diagnosing issues with a sprain/strain. I will say that of course, even if the insurance had denied it yet again, I woudl have had the MRI today. It's no...

Shameless Self-Aggrandizement
Tuesday, January 05, 2016. At five weeks out, I'm doing really well - no pain, able to put my foot down a bit for balance and toe-touch a bit while using the walker. I'm about a week ahead of schedule (compared to the last one, anyway). We took one of the wedges out of the boot over the weekend, so I'm chugging right along! We're heading up skiing in two weeks (well, Mark will ski, I'll lounge about like a lump), Hopefully we'll have snow! Wednesday, December 23, 2015. Drooling in my Sleep. First followu...

I also blurt out random things on the blog. Trips to Egypt, Scotland, Paris, and Ireland with a few thousand photos and more information than you can shake a stick at. Planning, travelogue, photos, links. Turn-of-the-century household management, etiquette, science, and social advice. Interesting views of 19th century sensibilties. Interesting and.amusing. Kingdom by kingdom, dynasty by dynasty - every Pharaoh from Menes to Cleopatra, in ocd-like detail.
