Darla of Dork: Recent Episodes
Darla
A Darla is typically a tender-hearted, beloved female human. A “dork” is someone who is kinda smart and goofy/silly. Darla+Dork=Darla Of Dork. I’m really more of a geek but “Darla of Geek” didn’t sound so great. 👉Current task: Learning how to be a SelfAwareRobotMom & celebrating inclusion of the podcast into the iTunes platform!
A variety podcast of silliness, randomness, and some history about Husking Bees, events that were a part of rural American social life of the 1800s to early 1900s. Y’know, stuff people did before Facebook.

Fun with Sleep Apnea! Sleep Medicine, a hammock for my chin, etc. This is the first and last time I will be recorded with mouth gear/appliance in, so it’s pretty special. I want this recording to be played at my funeral someday. 🤣No, we better not, on second thought!

This is the story of Rumpelstiltskin, written by the Brothers Grimm. Rumpelstiltskin is a mythical dwarf. He has anger issues and a desire to either raise a baby or eat a baby...the story is vague about that detail. He attempts to barter his magical spinning skills to gain the baby, but is thwarted because he can’t keep himself from boasting aloud during his nighttime solo dance parties. Enjoy this classic fairy tale.

Briar Rose by the Brothers Grimm. The original of what we think of as the story of Sleeping Beauty. There’s a talking fish! Storytelling by Darla of Dork may decrease insomnia for some listeners. This statement has not been approved by the FDA and is not meant to treat or cure any disease. Note for sensitivity, this story contains 1 violent incident split into 2 parts, in which a boy is getting his ears boxed, and several incidences of rather generic princes dying, and a finger getting poked by a spindle...but you should’ve expected the spindle to princess violence. Language: English, Inglés

Published a few hours past Memorial Day 2020. 💝In 1915, T. Harold Watts wrote a letter to a friend back home in England. His letter is an interesting window to what life was like in battle in World War One, “the Great War,” I believe it was called. UPDATE- Thomas Harold Watts did survive the war. Here is Information from the National Archives of the U.K.: Thomas Harold Watts, 18 June 1915, Dardanelles. Born: 28 August 1884, Regiment: Drakes Battalion, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, Died: 11 September 1953

Danderine was some kind of hair treatment to reduce disease of the scalp without making people go cuckoo for cocoa-puffs. Maybe the word “dandruff” hadn’t been created yet. Danderine was apparently made to prevent dander, or dandruff. I just love the use of language in these old ads. Feel free to send in requests for other old or odd ads! I might be able to find them.

Independence Day VS 4th of July. I now like “Independence Day” more than “July 4th.” Because July 4 is a date that can be commandeered by political parties to their own benefit. Independence Day is a celebration of breaking free as our own nation...not a nation of Republicans, Democrats (or even Whigs), but our people were united, that’s why it’s The United States Of America. When the Signers Of the Declaration Of Independence signed that document, they weren’t 100% sure that the new nation would survive...AND they knew they would be put to death for treason toward King & Crown if the new nation didn’t succeed. I don’t think these men are honored enough in American history.
