36 enthusiastic ceilidh dancers braved the threat of snow to come to the dance last Friday.\u00a0 It mat have been one of the smallest attendances but they made up for it with their joy, laughter and spirit.\u00a0 Alison taught many dances & despite recovering from a cold showed no sign of losing her voice and the evening flew by.\u00a0 Calanais were not deterred by the forecast and were in great form and Bonnie and Richard came along as usual to be in charge of $$ etc.\u00a0 If you did not come you missed a great evening of fun and good exercise.<\/p>\n
We need to recover from that low attendance by having a larger than average turn out at the next Ceilidh Dance.\u00a0 You can help by coming along, by bringing friends (and enemies!) by telling people about the Ceilidh Dances, by bringing a group of 8 or more so that you all qualify for a discount of $1 (see 2 paragraphs down).<\/p>\n
The next Ceilidh dance is on Friday, March 29, 2019 which is the last Friday of March – and I hope to see many of you, and your friends, then, as it will follow the usual format with the “class” from 7 – 8 pm and the dance, with Calanais providing the music,\u00a0from 8 – 11 pm.\u00a0\u00a0Mark your calendars NOW!\u00a0 \u00a0Even if you can’t make it in time for the class; come to the dance, it is lots of fun.<\/p>\n
If you have a group of 8 or more everyone in your group qualifies for $1 discount off the amazingly low admission price of $15 ($10 for students).\u00a0 You have to let everyone in your group know the password you have chosen which you then relay to me (ceilidh@rscdsvancouver.org) before midnight on\u00a0Wednesday, March 27.\u00a0 So get busy, put a group together be it student friends or a faculty celebration, or an office get together, or a bunch of friends, or a birthday\/anniversary\/start of a new semester\u00a0celebration, or whatever, we ‘d love to have you.<\/p>\n
There are refreshments\/drinks (including beer, cider, juice, etc.)\u00a0available\u00a0for a donation\u00a0\u00a0 So apart from the fun and great exercise of Scottish Ceilidh dancing there is all the ingredients for a great\u00a0evening.<\/p>\n
No need to be scared if you don’t know how – we will teach you and you won’t be the only newbie.\u00a0 Two left feet? we will show you how to use the right one – it doesn’t matter, no ones watching anyway!\u00a0 You will be a star before the night is out.\u00a0 Make it a date – it will be a night you won’t forget.<\/p>\n

\nI sure hope you can come and bring lots of friends.<\/p>\n
\nGotta\u00a0\u00a0love<\/u>\u00a0this \u00a0Doctor\u00a0Jim<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>A: \u00a0Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it…don’t waste on \u00a0exercise. \u00a0Everything wear out eventually. \u00a0Speeding up \u00a0heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of \u00a0car by driving faster. \u00a0Want to live longer? \u00a0Take nap.
\n
\nQ: Should I cut down on \u00a0meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
\n<\/strong>A: You \u00a0must grasp logistical efficiency. \u00a0What does cow eat? \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Hay and corn.\u00a0\u00a0And what are \u00a0these? \u00a0\u00a0Vegetables. \u00a0So steak is nothing more than \u00a0efficient mechanism\u00a0of delivering \u00a0vegetables to your system. \u00a0Need grain? \u00a0Eat chicken. \u00a0\u00a0Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). \u00a0\u00a0And pork chop can give you 100% of recommended daily allowance \u00a0of vegetable product.
\n
\nQ: Should \u00a0I reduce my alcohol intake?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nA: \u00a0No, not \u00a0at all. \u00a0Wine made from fruit. \u00a0Brandy is distilled wine, \u00a0that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of \u00a0goodness that way. \u00a0Beer also made of grain. \u00a0Bottom up!
\n
\nQ: How \u00a0can I calculate my \u00a0body\/fat ratio?
\n<\/strong>A: Well, if you have body and \u00a0you have fat, your ratio one to one. \u00a0If you have two bodies, \u00a0your ratio two to one, etc.
\n
\nQ: \u00a0What \u00a0are some of \u00a0the advantages of participating in a \u00a0regular exercise program?
\n<\/strong>A: Can’t think of \u00a0single one, sorry. \u00a0My philosophy is: No \u00a0pain…good!<\/p>\n
\nA: \u00a0YOU NOT LISTENING! \u00a0Food are fried these day in \u00a0vegetable oil. \u00a0In fact, they permeated by it. \u00a0How could \u00a0getting more vegetable be bad for you?!?
\n
\nQ<\/strong>: \u00a0Will \u00a0sit-ups help prevent me from getting a \u00a0little soft around the middle?
\n<\/strong>A: Definitely \u00a0not! \u00a0When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. \u00a0You should \u00a0only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach.
\n
\nQ: \u00a0Is chocolate bad for me?
\n<\/strong>A: \u00a0Are you crazy?!? \u00a0HEL-LO-O!! \u00a0\u00a0Cocoa bean! \u00a0Another vegetable! \u00a0It best feel-good \u00a0food around!
\n
\nQ: \u00a0\u00a0Is swimming good for your figure?
\n<\/strong>A: \u00a0\u00a0If swimming good for your figure, explain whale to me..
\n
\nQ: \u00a0Is getting in shape \u00a0important for my lifestyle?
\n<\/strong>A: \u00a0Hey! \u00a0\u00a0‘Round’ a shape!<\/p>\n
\nLife \u00a0should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving \u00a0safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid \u00a0in sideways – Chardonnay in one hand – chocolate in the other – body \u00a0thoroughly used up, \u00a0totally worn out and screaming “WOO-HOO, \u00a0what a \u00a0ride!!”
\n<\/strong>
\nAND…..<\/p>\n
\nand \u00a0suffer fewer heart attacks than\u00a0\u00a0us.<\/p>\n
\nand suffer fewer \u00a0heart attacks than us.<\/p>\n
\nand \u00a0suffer fewer heart attacks than us.<\/p>\n
\nand suffer fewer \u00a0heart attacks than us.<\/p>\n
\nand suffer fewer heart attacks than us.<\/p>\n
\n
\nEat and drink what you like.
\nSpeaking \u00a0English is apparently what kills you. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.vancouverceilidh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Winter-Holy-Isle-Arran-Copy.jpg\")

\nwind blowing through what little hair he had left.<\/p>\n
