This year has been good and bad, I started my own business in July but lost my best friend 2 weeks ago. Wish I could by-pass Christmas this year but you have to soldier on
Its baffling that they can trace your whereabouts from your mobile phone signals yet they cant find an plane which had 237 (correct me if I'm wrong) of the bloody things on board, that were still ringing hours after the plane went missing.
Aw thanks for those lovely words fifitheminx (cool name btw). Maybe you did hear me on the radio, it was a good few years back though. I'm also amused here at some of the comments about nuns. Some of them were horrible nasty women that I believe were forced into the vocation by family members and would have been much better off pursuing a different career. Others however were truly amazing women, especially one in particular who I remember from primary school, that woman had the kindest heart and did so much good, I still see her around, cycling her bike, an angel :) They get a lot of bad press I guess, some of it deserved, but I'm long enough in the tooth to know that there are a few good ones in the mix
Oh God ya, I had a great childhood, sadly both my parents died in their 50's when I was in my 20's. But I was so loved, my father adored me and me him, he was a gentle giant and such a kind man. I was lucky to have that
Hahah you poor crater, whatever I guess haha. As I got older I would wonder who they were. If I saw someone who looked a bit like me I would think, Is that my mother ? My mother would tell me wonderful stories about the day they got me, I came with a note attached (quite literally, I still have it, rusty safety pin and all) classy ladies those nuns NOT.
To be honest, I'm not really looking for anything here and I don't feel brave or anything because I was always led to believe that being adopted was nothing to be ashamed of or to hide under the carpet. I just feel its always better to talk about things like this, there might be someone reading this that might be thinking about looking for their natural parents, or someone who did find them and had a bad experience. I just want people to know that there is always someone who you can talk to and might even be able to help.
Think you might be right there, just thought people might like to share there stories and talk about their experiences. I know I don't have a problem speaking out about it, I actually was on the Gerry Ryan (RIP) Show a few years back speaking about it.
I was adopted in the 70's and my parents were told a heap of lies by the nuns who ran the orphanage, thank God I was adopted at 5 weeks old so remember nothing of that place and had a great childhood, but in my search found out lots about my family and still have lots more to find out. I'd be interested to hear your story if you'd like to talk about it here or in a private message. Maybe we could help someone who might be thinking about finding their biological parents and starting their journey of discovery.
Hahaha you just keep digging a hole for yourself you silly man lol. First Limerick, now you've prob pissed off any Dublin people reading this. Maybe you go to sleep :)
I am well able to read, and I have no intention of getting into an argument with you. If you feel the need to bring up a stabbing that has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation that's your choice. But I think it shows what kind of a person you are, maybe YOU like to have your "Stupid little rants" for a reaction from people. As far as I'm concerned the matter is over. I have made my point and I don't have the time or the energy to engage in petty quarrels with small minded people like you. All the best, take care.
Why would you put something up about that. It has NOTHING to do with the conversation. It really maddens me how people can be so insensitive and put down a great city like Limerick as is Galway. Please keep your ignorant comments to yourself, there was absolutely no need for it. He was looking for somewhere to go for a night out, which there are plenty of places in Limerick and, as he said he had a great night,, so WHY bring up the stabbing for some poor man, beggars belief.
Watching Fr. Ted never gets old for me. One of my favourites lines from it is. Mrs. Doyle: Would you like some cake. Ted: Ah, no, I'm fine thanks. Mrs. Doyle: Are you sure, there's cocaine in it. Ted: What ? Mrs. Doyle: Sorry I meant raisons. Hahah Want to share yours, if you have one ?
I am fully aware that it is a drama, but thank you sooooooo much for reminding me of that, what with having my head in the sand all being, being an Ostrich. Its a wonder |I remember to breath.
New series of Love/Hate starting. Am I the only one "doesn't get it". I am by no means a prude but I think it glorifies thugs and is overly graphic. Am sure some people will agree as I'm sure some people wont. I like to hear your views on it ...
