but all the acronyms were wrong
(the long list with all the C's)
I am going to "D" and will include a question when I get back
but, this question is going to be a hard act to follow
I see my kidney doc during dialysis today
I think I'll ask him for a hard question and the answer to it
no wait,  I'm too embarassed, you remember, I kept telling him I love him during my hosptial stay

Thousands of people crammed Parliament Hill on New Year's Eve expecting a millennium show to remember. But many of them left puzzled and disappointed. They say the show was a national embarrassment and they've been flooding the airwaves and newspapers with their complaints.

Picky, picky. . . :rofl;

Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  His parents were working-class immigrants of Lemkos-Rusyns (Ruthenian) ethnicity from Mezőlaborc, now Medzilaborce, of Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in northeast Slovakia).

Well, this wasn't part of the original question, but that is okay. . .

The tulips originally taken from Turkey were in the ‘Lily-flowered' category which had petals which came to a point. The multicolored types and the rounded-petal types produced by the Dutch eventually made their way back to Turkey and, between 1718 and 1730, resulted in a similar craze known as the ‘tulip epoch' of Turkish history. Especially popular here, at this time, were the parrot/Rembrandt tulips.
