I would love to play my bagpipes again but it would take too long to get my lips strengthened and then find someone to harmonize with. This is and instrument you have to play every week at least in order to keep everything that is held together by string and whose reeds and drones, bag all have to be seasoned. And then you can't enjoy a few good beers without have to fear Deputy Dog waiting down the road. Life is not as it used to be.
Nope it's a day full of amateurs imbibing cause they're "Irish"..
or thinking because they have ancestors who are Irish that they are Irish.
@LeighShelton like me..Irish heritage on both sides..oddly people Tell me I'm Cherokee..it's usually a wtf moment..lol
We used to call them "Rookies" An Irishmen or Woman is never drunk unless they cannot find a blade of grass to keep them from falling off the face of the earth. I knew a lot of women who could drink many a man under the table.
I think we would all be surprised at our DNA results considering Britain and the USA are mongrel nations. I was born in England so im English.
@LeighShelton my older brother just had his DNA done..we're 80% Irish,10% GB, 8% So.African,2% S.E Asian..lol
if you were born in America your American
St. Patty's used to be big for me in the Western New York State and Canada area. Now in Georgia...not so much. They don't celebrate it much here. It is especially disheartening because I now know that I am descended from Niall of the Nine Hostages and his father, King Eochaid (not a big deal really because these guys "really got around", if you know what I mean.).
Hoping to attend the annual parade! A party would be great, but my crowd aren't really partiers unfortunately.
@ScienceBiker My friends still like to do stuff, but they're mostly introverts too and don't like to get crazy. I guess I have a wild streak.
I'm going to NaNoCon in Nashville with a bunch of other heathens.
no
no' even a wee drap o the harrd stuff?
I don't drink but I could do that anytime
Yeah, I'm gonna get drunk on Irish whisky. That's what St. Patrick's day is all about.
It's my daughter's birthday, so I'll be messaging her.
