myrnalu Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 just for fun,how many of us are Irish?I am marie Quote
Don Wood Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 1/4 Irish from my mother's side. My mom carried a shamrock in her purse all the time. I finally got to go to Ireland in 2000. I even kissed the Blarney Stone. Explains a lot, doesn't it. Happy St. Paddy's Day, gang. Don Quote
Debi Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 1/4 Irish here also. My mom always made us wear green to school in honor of her dad. AT 17 I started yearly taking the bus into Manhattan for the St. Patricks Day parade (and bar hop) with the local chapter of the Ancient Order of the Hibernians. People don't celebrate St.Patricks Day here like up north. First year I was here, I was at work talking about making Corned Beef and Cabbage for St.Patricks Day and people were looking at me strangely. Hardly anyone had heard of making that on St. Patricks Day and nobody ever heard of Irish Soda Bread. Strange how customs and traditions vary. When you grow up in one place, you just assume that it is like that everywhere. Quote
Frank Lamb Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Irish & Dutch here and proud of it.Pittsburgh has a lot of Irish and celebrates St.Patties Day in a big way. Quote

ginnyde Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 90% Irish. My son's name is Sean Murphy, his children are Ryan Patrick, Brendan Thomas, Connor Robert and Erin Rose. And Don I am hoping to go to Ireland in 2007 and will kiss the Blarney Stone. Quote
