MOP Chat Cancelled

MOP Chat will be cancelled tonight in honor of the great Martin Luther King Jr., whose national holiday is being celebrated today in the US.  Have a great night and we'll see you next week.

"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes
to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring."
~Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy Birthday DIANA GABALDON!

This was made by my daughter, Keelin.
She is too young to read Outlander, but is
a voracious reader and just...understands.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANA!

It's always a tremendous day every year.  Remember sassenachs, Diana Gabaldon IS Jamie and Claire.  Without her, none of us would be having so much fun on Mr. Fraser's Wild Ride.

ALSO - got the following DG BIRTHDAY TWITTER info from the Outlandish Observations site.  (Thanks Karen!)
To celebrate Diana's birthday, we're going to try to send the hashtag#HappyBdayDG around the world on Twitter.  Please tag your tweets with #HappyBdayDG TODAY, January 11, from 7pm - 9pm in your local time zone. Let's see if we can get it trending!  (And feel free to use the hashtag for ALL your tweets today, if you want to.  This is just for fun, after all.)

GO FORTH AND TWEET GABALDON!

Scottish CLAYMORE offer on Amazon!

So I bought a Scottish Claymore (reproduction) on Amazon last year...and I absolutely love it.  I look at it every day and it makes me SO happy.  You can also buy one of their new-looking Claymore swords (Amazon Prime only)...but I prefer this rustic-looking one; it looks like Jamie just used it to fight some mean sonofabitch (and won, of course.)

BUT - get THIS - Amazon is offering FREE ONE DAY SHIPPING to the US! And Amazon Prime in Canada!

If you've always wanted your own...now is the time!!!

Happy Holidays!!

Dougray Scott On Outlander...Please!

Thanks to Que M on Twitter for forwarding a tweet about this fantastic Buzzfeed list of the 21 Hotttest Scots in Hollywood.

Dougray is #5, y'all.  Just LOOK at all that pretty.  And in addition to that, he is a FANTASTIC actor.  (Don't get me started on the fact that he did "Enigma " LONG before Cumberpatch.)  Please, someone, for the love of all that's holy...GET THIS MAN ON OUTLANDER.  I fear my carrying a watermelon with Ron Moore did not work.  ;)

My Outlander Purgatory Turns FIVE!

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear MOP, happy birthday to you!

Whether you've been reading my ramblings for five years...or just stumbled upon MOP yesterday, THANKS SO MUCH for all the laughs, cries, and everything in between.  And thanks so much to Diana Gabaldon for changing so many lives with the stroke of her pen.

If you keep reading, I'll keep blogging.  And Tracey will keep Tweeting.  And we'll both keep making those CRAZY videos.  We are truly blessed to know all of you!!!  ❤︎ Carol


THANKS Jamie!

I have to give a shout out to an AMAZING MOP friend who many of you may already be lucky enough to know through our many Outlander circles.

Just LOOK at what Miss JAMIE made for me. Hand-made body butters...essential oils...all with a divine scent.  Just like Claire, this woman knows her stuff! And lucky for us, she may very well be SELLING her concocted potions some time in the near future...so STAY TUNED!!!

Jamie's OM-azing potions (which are
blurred so I won't give away her secrets, y'all!!)
