Cheers for nursing home residents
Only the Irish would think of this.
DUBLIN, Ireland - 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.The thinking being that the patients still like to socialize and have a nip and it will prevent them from being "bored to death." I think they're probably right. In any event, it's a huge success with the facility reporting an increase in visitors. Good for the resident's morale, I would think.
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.

Hi,
I'm giving you this link because you get many more readers than I do and I think it is important. The list of Bush autrocities is no immense that it becomes confusing. This gives a nice chronological order with great links to what has happened. Hope you like it.

...meant so immense, not no immense. And perhaps you can pass it along to other important bloggers.
A little nip sounds perfectly reasonable to me. After the FDA decided Vioxx wasn't really safe to take, I started drinking a glass of wine every night instead.
(I'm actually saving money since I used to pay for the Vioxx and still had my daily glass of wine!)
