\u00a0<\/em>IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER – by Erma Bombeck<\/span>

A husband and wife are on the ninth green when the wife collapses from a heart attack.
\n\u201cHelp me dear\u201d she groans to her husband.
\nThe husband calls 911 on his cell phone, talks for a few minutes, picks up his putter and lines up his putt.
\nHis wife lifts her head and says to him \u201cI\u2019m dying here and you\u2019re putting?\u201d
\n\u201cDon\u2019t worry dear\u201d says the husband \u201cthey found a doctor on the second hole and he\u2019s coming to help you.\u201d
\n\u201cWell how long will it take him to get here\u201d she asks feebly.

The next Ceilidh Dance is on Friday, September 28, 2012<\/span> – that is the last Friday of the month<\/strong>. There will be, however, the annual Ceilidh in the Park on Monday, August 6, 2012 near 2nd Beach in Stanley Park from 7 – 9 p.m. – free of charge!!!
\nSee website www.vancouverceilidh.org<\/a> Coming Events listing for all Dancing in the Park dates etc.<\/p>\n

Please help spread the word<\/strong> about all the Ceilidh Dances as that is the best (and cheapest) form of advertising. Here is a link where you can watch a short video of a Ceilidh Dance: <\/strong>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0MvUwZnY9Ms<\/a><\/p>\n

The format for all of the regular monthly Ceilidh Dances will be the same with the class from 7 \u2014 8 p.m. and the dance from 8 \u2014 11 p.m. and all dances will be walked and talked through. The price is only – $10 or $8 for students which, for what you get is a super bargain \u2014 everyone is welcome. No partner is required and you should wear FLAT, comfy shoes and loose clothing. Children are also welcome but should be prepared to dance with other people as some of the dances require a change of partner. Don\u2019t forget to bring a few extra $$$$ to help defray the cost of the refreshments which are otherwise free.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>It really is never too late to come along and join in one of many Scottish Country Dance (SCD) classes and NOW is a great time to do it. <\/strong> You will be made very welcome. Many classes have a policy that the first night is FREE! Plan to come along to try out a class next week. There are classes all around and on different nights so<\/p>\n

GIVE IT A GO!<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t know SCD is a fabulous pastime which is super exercise for body and mind. SCD is, naturally, rooted in Scotland but there are groups in almost every country so you can learn here and then dance with other groups when you vacation or travel. SCD is not to be confused with Highland Dancing which is more solo dancing. SCD is usually done with a partner in groups or sets however you do not need to come with a partner. It is more akin to Square Dancing. It takes a year or two of classes, workshops, etc. to get the basics learnt then you can hone your skills in advanced classes. You start by learning the steps and formations. Dances (of which there are over 13,000) are made up of these formations so a good grounding will give you the ability to learn a new dance fairly quickly. SCD has its HQ in Scotland and is known as the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) and there is a Vancouver Branch of the RSCDS under which there are many clubs throughout the Province (there also are Branches in Victoria and Seattle). There are a great many classes and the ones in the Vancouver area are listed below. Come along \u2014 check us out \u2014 the first night is usually free and thereafter it will average about $6 a night and that\u2019s for a 2 hour class! You will find many friendly people who will be eager to help you and welcome you to their club. You never know you actually might like it!!<\/p>\n

Check the list of classes at either at www.vancouverceilidh.org<\/a> or www.rscdsvancouver.org<\/a>. Note that the latter website has the latest updates to temporary changes to times and locations<\/p>\n

as well there are classes all up and down Vancouver Island, a number of the Gulf Islands, the Cariboo, Okanagan, etc. etc. and there are various groups all over this great Province, Country, World and who knows where else! Check the Branch website for all these details – <\/em><\/strong>www.rscdsvancouver.org<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The next regular monthly Ceilidh Dance<\/strong> will be held on Friday, September 28, 2012 <\/strong>in the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, (73rd<\/sup> & Hudson which is between Oak & Granville), Vancouver, BUT<\/strong>. there is a Ceilidh Night in the Park on Monday, August 1st – see www.vancouverceilidh.org<\/a> for info. We need everyone to help us get as many new comers (as well as former Ceilidh Dancers) as possible to come and join us. WE Really NEED YOUR HELP to advertise the Ceilidh Dances!!!!<\/strong> What a nice thoughtful gift it could be if you gave your friends admission to the Ceilidh Dance. They don’t need to know it only costs $10 – it is worth so much more in fun, exercise and camaraderie. Use any access to free adverts etc. You can also use things like the Youtube link https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Bh2HV3OPBgw<\/a> or the Face-book page<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/p.php?i=116203315&k=Z5C5Y4TZPT6G6BD1PKZZTWQQQ6BAW26L34AV&oid=164741310207760<\/a> Suggestions to improve our advertising are always welcome. Don’t forget to tell them about the website www.vancouverceilidh.org<\/a> and get them to “subscribe” to the newsletter.<\/p>\n

The cost is still the amazingly low price of $10 or $8 for students and we provide refreshments although we do ask for your donations towards their cost. We always need your support both by coming along and by helping us to advertise these dances by whatever means you use to communicate with your friends be it e-mail, Face-Book, Twitter, Text or even telephone! Most of you have been to at least one Ceilidh Dance so you know how it goes. You don\u2019t need a partner; you don\u2019t need any experience; you should wear FLAT soft soled shoes; we walk, talk, and call every dance and you should come to have fun and have a good evening on exercise and entertainment and maybe even to learn!<\/p>\n

There is a FREE class from 7 \u2014 8 p.m. and the dance from 8 \u2014 11 p.m. with music by Calanais. Remember to bring some extra cash so you can make a donation towards the cost of the refreshments. Without these donations we will have to increase the price of admission again!!<\/p>\n

The schedule for the 2012\/13 season shapes up as follows:<\/strong>

\n\"\"<\/a>Dalnagleton<\/strong><\/p>\n

A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A\u00a0 black hearse was followed by a second\u00a0 black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one.\u00a0\u00a0 Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a dog on a leash.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a0The man couldn’t stand the curiosity.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said, “I am so sorry for your loss, and this may be a bad time to disturb you, but I’ve never seen a funeral like this.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Whose funeral is it?”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“My wife’s.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

”What happened to her?”\u00a0<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>The man replied, “My dog attacked and killed her.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

He inquired further, “But who is in the second hearse?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The man answered, “My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her..”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A very\u00a0 poignant and touching moment,\u00a0 of brotherhood and silence, passed between the two men.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Can I borrow the dog?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The man replied, “Get in line.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
