Mrs. GA bought donuts with shamrocks on them, and I have corned beef sandwiches for lunch. Stores were sold out of corned beef already, prepared, so I had to cook my own, and I find it preferable. Our county is about 25% Irish-American, BTW.(35% German) among Caucasians.
Just seen a house which had been done up on "Homes Under the Hammer ".
The interior had been finished in grey , grey curtains , grey decking outside with grey banisters and grey walls .
It's shame they didn't film it when it was raining !
Often, it is the dominant identity. I am actually descended from Bavaria and Yorkshire on my ma's side of the family, and mostly Irish and a bit of Welsh, as well as Dutch, on my father's side. Being Irish was quite looked down upon for many years, until the 1970's or so. I still have a guy at church who has little or nothing to say to me because I'm Irish. Although he doesn't call it that....Ah the Yanks and Irish descent. Even if it's many many generations ago, they are Irish. My grandfather's parents were Irish, and if I was American I'd be 200% Irish,
Top christian values on display eh?
nice, we're having Italian ...
I have 100% Italian lineage, but no one ever calls me Italian. maybe it is best, I have no desire to become a "made man"Ah the Yanks and Irish descent. Even if it's many many generations ago, they are Irish. My grandfather's parents were Irish, and if I was American I'd be 200% Irish,
sounds familiar. we're Italian. one of my Grandfathers (the one born in the US) had to pretend to be Irish & casually changed his last name, to get into the plumbers union. I guess back then there was no proof of ID, like a social security card, etc
the patron Saint of cats! had to look that one up! meowAnd happy St Gertrude's Day everyone.
I'm disappointed. I was hoping St Patrick had had a sex change.
