Happy St. Patâs, Dubhlinn. And Everybody.
(Makes a change from its usual colour!)
Happy St. Pats everyone.
I got a 10% SPD discount in a pharmacy today.
It was on all non-prescription items and not just the hangover cures. ![]()
Hey! Lime Jell-O!
I see even Google has entered into the spirit of things ![]()
Made me look! heh heh
Happy Paddyâs Day
M
ok - time for the one phrase I know in Gaelic (and I donât mean to offend anyoneâŚ)
Pog Mo Thoin!
Happy St. Paddyâs everyone!!!
Ah, the liffey. Smells as good as it looks. ![]()
Happy St. Patâs day indeed.


Ah, the Chicago River (I think). Funny, I do not know why they dye it every year, its normal color is green.
Happy one to you too Dub!
As my girls headed out this morning, wearing carefully selected green accents, I (in my typical curmudgeonly manner,) pointed out that their only ancestors from Ireland were Protestand encroachers, there at the encouragement of the King.
But you know, thereâs always the chance that one of those distant relatives way back then mixed it up with a real Irishpersonâso maybe there is a drop of green in our bloodâŚmight as well make the assumption, today anyway!

Walden, you are so ingeneous. Thanks for the beautiful cyber-card.
Happy St. Patrickâs Day Everyone
I will play âRoad to Lisdoonvarnaâ and âSwallow Tail Jigâ on the fiddle. That might attract some unseen guests in my apartment.

I no longer celebrate holidays due to religious reasons, but I find myself sitting here in the library wearing a green shirt nonetheless, lest I get pinched. This is the only holiday in Western society where if you donât participate to some degree, youâre threatened with physical violence.
Not in âWestern societyâ on this side of the pond, and not anywhere Iâve been.
Thatâs good to know. I know first-hand that in parts of the US and Canada, you get pinched and laughed at if youâre not wearing green.

Happy St. Patrickâs Day Everyone!
When I was little in Salt Lake, you would get pinched
if you forgot to wear green on St. Patrickâs Day.
I donât think they did that in California though.

I was in Galway on St. Patrickâs day last year with my Fife and Drum Corps, and we marched in their parade. Great time.
Funny thing is, our uniforms are red white and blue.
I was pinched a number of times.
And I liked it.
