RE: age

No one understands the pain we feel
Standing in our singular state
Sparing all the world the fact we think
That sometimes, that is just our fate

RE: what would turn you off?

I like younger generations. I think they are kinder than my generation was. Kinder to each other anyway. I hope I am right

RE: age

The million dollar question is: where is your woman?

RE: age

Can't seem to stop waiting for it no matter how I try so it has had no chance to creep up on me. I am always waiting and it's never happened, EVER

RE: age

Glad to hear it hunni and long may it last
May your heart never know sadness again while it beats

RE: age

the question is: if your rules work....where is your man? The answer is....there is no rules that work.

Sorry hunni: it's just how I feel tonight. Have been waiting too long for the rules to work for me

RE: age

Hi handsome

RE: age

Don't make me ask, D
Cos I will, cos I is drunk.

RE: age

You might find out that rules don't work. Love has it's own rules and we don't know them

RE: women

I have never gone out looking for no strings fun. Sometimes, I have found some by accident though

RE: Pancakes.....

I have to have them with lemon juice and sugar like when I was young. My kids usually have them with nutella or honey and I also have maple syrup laid on for tonight.

RE: Paddys day

Bacon and cabbage, creamy mashed potatoes, carrots and mushroom sauce. Then, later on, tea brack and Irish coffees.

Gave up on the parade a long time ago but sometimes the kids get a fancy to go and see it.

I do like to wear something green but keep it understated

RE: Happy Birthday Sweetvelvet

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EILEEN

RE: If i could turn back time ~~~~

I guess I would like to not have worried so much about the future. I made a lot of mistakes but things aren't too bad now. I have come to a point where I believe that things are going to work out one way or another and not get too overheated about everything. Not saying that my life is perfect but if we started thinking about every other road we could have gone down instead, we would drive ourselves mad

RE: Ireland //// Australia

It sounds a lot worse than here in my opinion but maybe I am biased. Everyone has different ways of looking at the world.

RE: Would You Emmigrate

Very kind of you, RobertGill

With more and more of our young people having to head to Australia, it could be nice to have some first hand information.

RE: The 20 Book Challenge

American Gods was the best book I read last year. I must read more by Neil Gaiman. I read A Handmaidens Tale years ago and it is excellent. I love Atwood. Alias Grace and The Blind Assassin are two other very good ones by her.

RE: The 20 Book Challenge

Well, when I met him he was signing books in Easons in Cork and there weren't many looking for his autograph so he chatted to about 3 of us die hard fans for half an hour and was definitely very down to earth and friendly. My ex bought his first book when it came out because he had read him in The Irish Times but it was I who got hooked on him. I love Charlie Parker but especially Angel and Louis. If they make his books into movies, I think Joe Pesci should play Angel and Ving Rhames should play Louis. That's who I see when I read their characters.

RE: If you could change !!!!!!!

Well, I have said that I am easily intimidated but I have never found you intimidating, D. I don't find straighforward people intimidating and I don't think you need to change because someone can't handle you as you are

RE: If you could change !!!!!!!

It's great to see someone happy with themselves, Mac

Physically, I would like to lose weight and am working on that.
Emotionally, I am working on being less easy to intimidate and having more confidence in myself.

I think I would like to be happy with myself as I am now though and damn the begrudgers

RE: The 20 Book Challenge

I read Crime and Punishment quite a few years ago. I remember liking it a lot. I haven't read Camus but Dostoyevsky is much easier to read than Joyce.

Love reading John Connolly. I met him once a couple of years ago and he was really friendly. I have read all his books so far

RE: The 20 Book Challenge

Reading The Hare with Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal but only just started it so hard to know what it's going to be like. It got very good reviews though.

Read The Room by Emma O'Donoghue recently in just one night. It was unputdownable. Really excellent read. Also read The Killing Place by Tess Gerritsen which was excellent and read the last book in the Stieg Larrson trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest.

In between times I read The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron and The Help by Kathryn Stockett. All good books.

Have you any recommendations Sativa?

RE: Bad Dates

Well done C for dealing with her. I have some friends who are very fussy about their food but they are always polite about it. Rudeness is a definite No-No!!

I can't say I have had any really bad dates either. One or two boring ones but nothing I could say was very bad.

RE: Hell of a Row with Lady Gaga on the M9

Buy an updated road map and study it before setting off

RE: April 30-May 1: The SHERKIN ISLAND EXPERIENCE Event

My daffs popped up over the weekend too. The sun is shining so I am washing my net curtains and trying to spruce up this dump. Time for spring cleaning (Where's the hard at work icon?)

RE: sticky green fingers

It's not easy to give a nice welcome to someone who comes in all guns blazing, pet. All the same, Welcome to CS and I hope we don't live up to your expectations.

As for growing vegetables as per the OP, I have a drawer full of seed packets that have grown old and weary waiting for me to plant them. I love the sound of SDBs cherry tomato plant though.

RE: love

Romantic Ireland is dead and gone

Have ye all gone cynical??

RE: need sum advice please

RE: Would You Emmigrate

I spent time working in Boston and London in the 80s but I think I would prefer to be poor here than well off anywhere else. With 3 teenagers now, I wouldn't think of leaving anyway. Problem is, they might have to go when they leave school. I don't mind them leaving but hate the thought of them never being able to come back if things don't pick up.

RE: Birthday ideas

Best idea....invite the neighbours...unless you really can't stand them
