about irishiii

I may be from Ireland but I'm a Carolina Boy now.  However, Carolina Blue is NOT my favorite color. I prefer RED and WHITE.

I'm originally from Ireland.  I have been here in Raleigh since 1990.  Raleigh has only gotten better since I've been here.

My favorite hobby is travelling.  I've been lucky enough to have been to most all the states in the US and many places beyond.

More about me?  I like to be outside, I like to be with my family and friends, I like a good time, and I like a good drink.

My avatar image is from a stone carving at Newgrange, built 5000 years ago, also near my home.

Mine was wrote in response to Godandcountrys blog.While I do understand there are rouge people in all sets of life and do no condone the behaviour I still think what the terrorist do is far worse that anything else that has happened. I still see your response as disrespectful.

I can and do respect yours. Offering my hand to yours for a hand shake. Have a great day

Btw my dads second language was Galic.

lol...Oh ok... I was gonna say....

Hey there. How are ya?

Ok... what's up with this liver thing? You really drink that much?? lol I hear ya!

Did you lick it?

Ryan, did you spend any time in Western Ma? That's exatly where i'm from, a little town called Agawam, near Springfield :)..btw, my grandparents came from County Cork :)

Lot's to do in Northampton, for sure. I don't know how long it's been since you were at Bradley International Airport but the changes are phenominal ...I remember the day...we used to have to walk outside of the airport to get on the plane....I really need to get away from these Fall blogs of NE before I get my self on the next flight out :)

I love Boston because of Fenway Park and Foxboro....lol, nah, I love everything, the arcitechiture (sp) Quinsey Market, Hail, all of it.....

Ryan, who's the Dukie? You or your other half? I know the Jamaica Plain area well, I went there with a dear friend who was a phycholigst from there. OMG, the memories :(..lol, they ALWAYS get me in trouble. We have been here since 96, and not a day has gone by that my heart hasn't yearned to be back there...My husband's very reason for not going back is like you say, the weather.It's so funny, we are always doing our list of yea and nay about going back, the one thing that we both agree on is having NESN. We buy the baseball/football package but still don't get to see all our games ..there we could :)Oh I truly love the Bostonians :)...lol, they say what they mean and mean what they say, then it's over...nothing to dwell or get all beat up over...BTW, I can't wait to see the new large mall next to Gillette Stadium that costs as much as the stadium itself: more than $300 million. lol, I sure hope Kellogg knows what he was doing....

Oops, my mistake - I read a little too quickly for my own comprehension. :-)

I'm not a Greenville native (I grew up in Charleston and Columbia, SC), but lived there for eight years - I worked at BMW and lived near Michelin off of Pelham Road. It was a nice area, but I like Raleigh much better!

Well.. BRAVO fo the Dukie......NC State is my second favorite (my husband is a state fan)But, as said....ABC(anyone but carolina) :)

" Oh dear I just realized what that dog has in it's mouth "

OMG........ you just made me laugh so hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"This is the 4,589,633 time this has been posted."

Ha. idc. :)

how are ya?

Thanks! You have a wonderful day!! :)

Re: your note. I lived in the western part of Kentucky. Waaay western. Go any further west and you're in Missouri :)

Didn't you do a blog about freshwater blue crabs this week?? The reason I'm asking is that a friend just purchased a home in Selma with a good sized pond- stocked with fish already. I'm wondering if you had any further information I might be able to pass on. My friend seemed interested in trying to stock the pond with some crabs too. How cool would that be, just go out in the evening, toss in the trap and the next day you have fresh crab...yummy!!- any info you have you could leave on my profile- thanks a million

its a liberal joke, get over it

droppin in to say hello! ((HUGS))

wilson mills FD

Christmas music already on the radio!?! Are you kidding? What station was that -- a local radio station or a satellite radio channel?

Wow. I remember last year WRAL-FM switched to all Christmas music near Thanksgiving. But I mean, it hasn't even been a week since Halloween yet!

Thanks -- you reminded me I haven't posted one today.

thanks !

Tell her to wave hello to Russia for me!

Hey Buddy!! I will sure do that when she comes up here to Fairbanks. She always comes on a friend of mine's radio talk show....they have streaming, so you could ask her yourself...I will let you know when she is going to come on, if we have any notice. Have a good one!!

I have been here almost 30 yrs, and have yet made it out on the Aleutins. I have almost been twice when I was still in the military, but didnt. I have been everywhere else in the main "body" of Alaska. I feel I have been very very fortunate to travel as much as I get to. Many here have never even been out in the bush villages...I have been living/traveling them for over 20 yrs.

Thanks,you... I know tomorrow will be better.

wanted to drop by and say hi! **HUGS**

The 3rd sex is what doesn't fit in the first two...

hey honey. Well, only 4 of us showed up. It was really nice though. I think that next time I'm just going to email people and get time schedules straight. Seems like everyone is all over the place. Send me an email if you'd be interested in going next time. shoultesy@yahoo.com *HUGS*

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving !!!!!!!!!

happy thanksgiving! :-)

Hello Ryan, thank you for the compliment about my tree. I've collected for years to get some of those ornaments.... Have a great afternoon...

....oh, one more thing, I'd be interested to know what the dessert is, minus the whipped cream! LOL!!

Howdy Blarn!

hi! happy friday!

I wish you a safe and happy holiday season, with many blessings and smiles.



Irish eyes are smilin'!

thank you! ((HUGS))

Hi Ryan! Great picture! Thanks! I think that name is pretty neat myself! I really am Strawberry Letter 23 and always will be.........I change my screen name A LOT! LOL!

Have a great night my friend. :-)

"First of all, I would ask your friend what on earth they were doing eating at a Golden Corral."

Thank you for giving me the correct information. I appreciate it! Sometimes I post blogs here because I think asking others is the quickest way to find out if the info accurate. You have a great weekend as well!
