Suddenly, Nursing Homes Don't Sound So Bad

Nursing home keeps spirits up with own pub
Mon Nov 14, 2005 1:15 PM ET

DUBLIN (Reuters) - A nursing home in Ireland has hit on a cheering way to keep up the spirits of its elderly patients -- by providing its own pub.

St Mary's Hospital in County Monaghan, near the Irish border with Northern Ireland, believes ready access to a good pint may help its patients -- average age 85 -- actually live longer.

"We would say the whole social aspect of life does extend the years -- it means the patients aren't bored to death," Rose Mooney, assistant director of nursing told Reuters.

The pub, which opens at 11am and closes at 9pm and charges normal bar prices, had also led to an increase in the number of visitors, she said.

Having its own bar made the hospital, which has around 140 patients, unique in Ireland, she added.

AuntieT may be dead. . .

but AuntT is here to take her place.

Isn't is weird that the last post I wrote before we were hacked and my identity stolen was "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. . . ?" Now reports of my death are sad but true.

I'm trying to be positive about the fact that AuntieT has been destroyed. After all I'm a Scorpio, and we are supposed to be all about rebirth - the phoenix is one of the major symbols of Scorpions. This is my opportunity to come back as the new and improved version - with the updated User Profile, when I get a chance to update it.

Maybe AuntT will be wittier than AuntieT (if possible).
Perhaps AuntT will complain less than AuntieT did and post more!
I feel certain that AuntT will never complain on the blog about anyone she has ever dated.
AuntT will never even tell boys that she has a blog (especially boys who are smart enough to just do a Google search to find it).
She will also never, ever, ever (I promise Tina - please don't take away my administrative priviledges again) let a boy know her password.

Musicians are Funny

“I like to imagine this record playing in the background as a red state and a blue state - maybe Tennessee and New York - secretly meet at a Comfort Inn off I-40 and have angry, awkward sex.”

- Eef Barzelay of Clem Snide
regarding their most recent album "End of Love"
