Tonight's the night!
Please lounge, I've been here since January of 2005, it's now 2008 and I'm 25 posts away from the magic number 1000. If I get to 1000 tonight I will feel like I belong. So ask me anything and I will answer.

7. I flew into Shannon and rented a car
we went up the west coast to Sligo and then across the country to Longford to do some looking for death records of my GGgrandparents. Then I went to Newgrange and spent some time in Dublin. I took my son (he was 17 at the time) and we stayed in bed and breakfast places. It was wonderful.

16. We ate the big Irish breakfast (not blood sausage though)
and then homemade soup and course bread from pubs. It kept us going fine! I did have a hamburger one time and I have to say I didn't like it. The stew was great though.

27. I like him more now than I did when he started
I had a song book of his that my ex left and I didn't like any of the songs, now he is one of my favorites.

30. Thanks Peggy.
I have wondered what the job entails. I like reading all kinds of opinions so I might be a little too lax. It would be hard for me to cut off a good debate.
