Well it is for now...you will all get your turn Okay here is the about ME stuff Just tried to buy a kindle... jeez it was like trying to be a UN representative or something, Amazon UK and Amazon US bounced me back and forth like John McEnroe with a tennis ball in Wimbledon way back when! Also need input on the Mutton V Lamb thing...at my age it is as important as Nature Versus Nurture argument Well it is just that in the last few weeks I have got mail from guys who looked like they still lived in the seventies with the hair and shades and all that stuff going on even though they looked like they might now be in THEIR seventies! When are we supposed to start dressing age appropriate...yikes...how scary Okay... all about me is over... It's all about YOU and what your day is like or what the craic is in general Yeah , Yeah whatever...back to me...Got my Kindle
Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan...cos I love it and I have good friends there. If money was no object I would have an apartment in Manhattan. I would never forsake Donegal though. Even in all kinds of weather you cannot beat a walk on Rossnowlagh Beach...yes I am one of those profile people who likes to walk on the beach Luckily I am a true Culchie who does not mind living in the country. Would also spend some time during the year in New Orleans...just cos it is great craic and lots of interesting people. WHEN (not IF! cos I am an optimist!) I win the lottery I will have a base in Manhattan and in Donegal and the rest of the time I will just travel around wherever the notion takes me
Oh....When I looked at this thread initially I thought it was quite a personal question Hiya N, I have had only bad experiences with eircom (apologies to the loyal fans)and their call centre is also in India or appeared to be when I rang. I even gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried them for a second time...never again. I have mobile broadband with three and it is the best internet service that I have had since I moved back to Ireland. I can get coverage in the a**hole of anywhere and the speed is grand. Had tried o2 and Vodafone before and the coverage was really bad. My landline is with 3 who now call themselves digifone or something but I have had the same deal with them for years and they are not offering it anymore.Eircom told me that they could not offer me as good a deal as I currently have (on one of their annoying telemarketing calls to me,which have stopped since I got the cats involved lol). Happy Hunting.
Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden. As they walked Mark discovered the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend. They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then Mark went home. They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, then both graduated from junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally the long awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mothers sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more, you saved my life."

I just find this inspiring because it reminds me of the effect our actions can have on others.
Great night, Great to meet some new people and to see the others that I already knew. @ Glengirl... Ah I am not too traumatized by the stairs but have to say that Cork is the only place where you reach such an altitude that your ears pop...before you even find the freakin' toilet LIKE! Thanks Killarneyman for organizing a great night.
Well if someone did it to me I would say " Jeez...you are at the fake phone call already!!" Knowing my luck he would have a phone ringing, someone coming in to haul him out...half a cast of actors acting out the tragedy and maybe even a siren of some sorts blaring outside..just to make it credible and dump me.
Jaysus...ya must freak if someone reaches for her phone now Just joking... I think it is just insulting to do that. I think there is a polite way to just say it's not working out.
I have no experience of mediums. I think when you lose someone and are absolutely heartbroken you will try anything. Life can be crap....really crap at times. I would hate to think that a vulnerable grieving person could be taken in by an unscrupulous person feeding them false information. Maybe there are some genuine mediums out there as I said I have no experience of them. I personally have found that dealing with death is really hard. I dont think there is any quick fix. I found it best to reach a level of acceptance and really lean on family and friends for support. I would have loved to have been able to reach a lost one but reality bites and you just have to move on and eventually reach a stage where the pain lessens and the memories are fantastic.
Well some people are more private and do not like pics of themselves. I have seen it happen before, I have not even been at a meet but yet I see all the pics on another social networking site without anyone even being asked if they are ok with their pics being put up. I just like to be respectful of others and not post their pics all over the internet...then again that is just me. What I do, like I said is that I take the pics but then send them to the people involved...then they can do what they want with them... it's their choice then. Anyway...I am looking forward to the night
Jeez...you think you know someone C'mon N.....Jeremy Kyle....Springer??? Dont know what eggheads is so I will let you off on that one...the others I can live with....but Kyle and Springer (actually that kinda sounds like a bad detective series ) As for Godsgift and Judge Judy.... Oh yeah...isn't the title of the thread that you would not tell anyone what you watch??? hmmm...is that an oxmyoron or paradox....always get those two mixed up Well what the hell, I watch Criminal minds lol
I dont think I have great self confidence which surprises some people cos I have no problem chatting away. Like SDB it wouldn't bother me a bit to walk into a pub by myself even if I wasn't meeting anyone lol I would find someone to annoy When I was younger I was shy but I figured if I didn't start talking to people no one would talk to me...might have gone a bit overboard on the talking thing though I can be very self conscious at times about looks abilities etc. I love being older though cos I dont care a lot of the time what people think of me as in I dont need their approval but I would care if people found me offensive or a dipstick as I do not like to be rude or insensitive to others... well not intentionally anyway. Re bad humour....it takes a lot to annoy me...I am too lazy to use energy on negative stuff. How's that for a freakin' bio!
I actually did fly to Cork with Ryanwhere before and they were grand apart from the fact that they were selling everything, I was expecting them to trot a live chicken up the aisle at one stage and try to flog it! Then again I did hear squawking coming from the back at one stage but sure that might have been Roy Keane crying about something Sorry Cork people, please dont lynch me on Saturday
