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.

I don't blame you. I'm homesick and I've only ever been there for about two weeks.

Oh, and thanks for the "deranged thought process" comment. It's nice when people notice and appreciate you for your good qualities!

keep in touch. shoultesy@yahoo.com

Hey Ryan! Thanks for stopping by. Have a super day & stay dry ;)

Happy St Pattys day my fellow Irishman!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

What's Irish and stays out all night?

A: Patty O'Furniture

( Badonk Donk-- Hey! Thanks for coming! try the Veal! I'll be here all week!)

Thanks for the daily infro on Ireland & St Paddy's . my roommate's family is more Irish than mine , but I think I'm driving him a little crazy w/ all my Irish music. LOL Luv Burke's music and several others. Will have to check out the Corrs -- hadn't heard them. Right now , really into Enya's music. Hope you're having a great St Patrick's day.

.

Happy Friday Irishiii!

ryan, I am recovering ok...the doc said it would be a lifetime experience. He was not lying. I hurt worse than months ago. I just have to meet you and Studley in this life.Take care dude, we will meet someday. Spring and summer will bring golo events. I'll find a way to be there. Hope you will too. jay

ps, I am Catholic Irish. Just like me mum. Born NYC, got out when I was 10 yrs old. I am just a worthless sob now.

Sorry Irishi, I just thought it was a funny pic and it might lighten the mood on blog topic. I'll be glad to change it if you like.

Ok, a couple have mentioned no politic/religious blogs today. I missed the memo. Was there a blog about it or something?

it wouldnt cost you anything my friend, but I really dont pay him much attention so i'll have to take a few notes and do some research!

Yeah, Myrtle Beach STINKS...except for Derriere's; nothing better than all nude strip clubs.

Hey dude, I didn't mean to bud in on your convo in the paulrevere blog, but anything sarastic with that person, I naturally assume it'd be for me... Have a good weekend!

Patron... that is some good stuff. I wish I had more

I am sure they are wonderful. I think I need a full bottle. LOL

I just want to wish you a great weekend!

Hope its full of peace and enjoyment.

Happy Easter!!!!

TGIF. Have a great Friday!

poking my head in to say hello! :)

good grief dude, can't we have some laffs this morning?

TGIF

Thought you might get a kick out of this one:

GO CANES!

Thanks for letting me know I did not offend you. I never gave it a second thought about the Ireland bit.

And what was wrong with that pic? It was just creamy vanilla pudding. lol...

Guess I did good then if you found it funny and the pic grossed you out...hehe

Hava a great weekend as well!!!

hope you have a nifty weekend too! ((HUGS))

Hey there Irish! I posted your blog on the WRAL.com pet page as the "Featured Blog" in the Animal Adoptions section. Have a look. And thanks for all your contributions to GOLO. http://www.wral.com/lifestyles/pets -Angela

Okay, You're cracking me up now. I don't know you but goodbye. Bwwwwaaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaa!

Hi, Irish...yeah...7 indoors (and then there's Petey, my outdoor "guard" dog who HATES the indoors). They're little, and if you stacked them all up they still wouldn't equal a sheppard or rottie, LOL...We started out with Belle and Beau, had a litter on purpose, found homes for 4 of the 6, decided to keep 2. Then we had our second litter on accident. Found homes for the three males, one of our females has a cleft lip and I bottle fed her for weeks and weeks, so I couldn't part with her, and the other two girls we couldn't find good homes for (my kids don't go with just anyone), so seven it is. Now, mind you, ALL the males are fixed, so there will be no more puppies. But we love them, and they're all a part of the family. Seven is as easy as four, until vet time. :)

And yes, how 'bout those Canes? I was in hog heaven last nite!

You & me both, my friend!

No prob!

Holly is the cocker spaniel in my profile pic.

Abby is a westie terrior.

They are both very sweet in their own little ways. And I am never bored since I found Dexter. Though I would trade a little boredom now and then for less lamp destruction. I really liked that lamp!

I adopted 'sooners'. Sooner one as the other. :) Get that?? lol

Seriously, one I believe is a cocker mix and the other is a terrier mix-maybe irish springer or something like that. She's got medium hair, but the coloring of a dalmation. I'm gonna take some pics soon and post them.

I don't understand my female, Bailey (the terrier). She goes outside and does #1 in several spots THEN comes in the house and does it again. I don't get it??? Got any suggestions??

Chewy, my cocker is AWESOME! Not once has he gone inside. Best disposition and walks so well on a leash.

go boston~~~~~~beat canes :)

thank you.

Glad you saw the post. It is always nice to hear how GOLO is such a positive force in the lives of some. It's a nice change from the gripes and the "he called me ugly" complaints. I am going to stop giving those complaints much attention because they are sucking the life out of me. Too much information, I know... At any rate, keep the good blogs coming. -Angela

after looking closer to the Prime Meridian's path...that would make sense. Thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks for the comment! it was the first thing that popped in my head as soon as I saw the shampoo bottle in the background.

Thanks! Yep, piled high and deep best describes it ;)

Dunes Village Resort, somewhere near 52 I think. Not sure exactly. We were on the 8th floor for the picture.

Thanks! Hope you have a great weekend!

Ryan,

you have a good weekend now,

you enjoy this so called long weekend,

if you start seeing squirels on the road, that means you had too much to drink..

call me if your to drunk to drive so I can laugh at you..

Okay?

lol

have a good one friend.

HEY! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? I haven't been "on golo" lately. I check my profile but that's about it. I worked for too long yesterday but today I'm off and taking Dom to the IMAX to see Lost in the Museum. Have a wonderful weekend.

Your comment on my eel blog cracked me up. :)

lol

good no laughing squirels,

yeah little ugly trolls here and there but everything is okay.

have a good one

how was your weekend???

sounds like a great weekend! lol Did you go anywhere?

gracious! You've got an iron in about everything, no? lol

4PM Funnies -- love it!

By the way, I just invited you to the goLOL joke group I started several months ago. I post something from time to time, but I think you'd make a good editor for that group!

lol...i was worried too, but i think the built in apology helped.

i just can't believe that nobody has been bored enough to try that in 2 years. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
