Today's Question: 3/17

Are you in any way Irish?

Are you doing anything to celebrate St. Patty's day today?

What was your most memorable St. Patrick's day ever?

Re: Today's Question: 3/17

  • I'm 1/2 Irish-on my Mom's side. We don't really have anything planned today/tonight-just being sure to have something green on b/c otherwise I know I'll get pinched. :-)
     My most memorable St Patty's was the year I met DH (even though it was before I met him). The pub/bar we all used to hang out @ in Charlotte had a massive St patty's day-the owner was Irish and so were (in some way-esp on st patty's) most of the clientele. Sunny Ledfurd played, 2 of my gals from college  came to town, all in all it was just a great time!!!

  • I am a smidge of Irish. On Sunday I cooked a corn beef roast with boiled potatoes, carrots and cabbage since my husband told my inlaws that is what I make on St. Patty's. We just made it a couple of days earlier so we could enjoy with his parents. Today we will be having Corn Beef sandwiches with the leftovers. I don't really have any memorable St. Patrick's day. 
  • I'm Irish, Scottish, and German mostly.

    I'm not even wearing green today... YIKES!  If I leave the house I'll try to find SOMETHING green to put on.

    One year I was in Orlando visiting one of my best friends on St. Patricks day.  I had a green beer at Universal Islands of Adventure, and that night we went to City Walk to Pat Obriens.

     Another memorable year was my freshman year.  We went to a bar that had an Irish sounding band playing.  It was a lot of fun to enjoy the concert with the new friends I'd made that first year away!

  • Not that i know of. I'm Mexican so mostly Native/Spanish/French.

    I like to kiss the Irish thoughWink

  • We think my grandpa on my mother's side is part Irish and some Irish ladies I know have commented that I have features resembling the "black Irish" (for my very dark brown hair and pale complexion).

    I have an Irish dinner planned for tonight: Reuben sandwiches (cooking away in the slow cooker--it smells soooo good in here!), hot potato salad, and Irish cream bars for dessert.

    I don't have any particular memory associated with St. Patty's day.  All I remember is that it was "moved" last year by the Pope because it conflicted with Easter, Palm Sunday, holy week or something along those lines...

  • I have no idea if I'm Irish. I completely forgot to where green (except the lint left on my shirt since I washed it with my fluffy bathrobe).  I even forgot that today was st patricks day.  Oh well.
  • I'm not Irish (that I know of), but my parents did give me a very Irish name (Erin).  I made sugar cookies in the shape of shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day (link in my blog if you want to see).  I haven't had any memorable St. Patrick's Days.  I like the holiday just fine, but have never done anything to really celebrate it to make it that memorable.

  • I'm partially Irish, We are going out in Greenville tonight and have friends from back home here, so we are quite excited. Best memory was a party 2 years ago, DH and I got trashed and had a fun night.
  • Are you in any way Irish? Probably a bit.

    Are you doing anything to celebrate St. Patty's day today? I wore green today, if that counts.

    What was your most memorable St. Patrick's day ever? I really don't have one, I guess when my mom decided to die the milk green, and we refused to drink it.

  • something like 1/16th irish

    i wish, stuck working late & then studying late

    2 yrs ago my best friends & i went to a block party in downtown raleigh w/ decked from head to toe in green...nothing worth noting, just a good time w/ great friends

  • I have no idea.

    On my mom's side I know that I'm a quarter Italian and a quarter French Canadian.

    My dad's side...its really a toss up.  My brother definately is though!  We have different moms.  But he's got the really classic Irish featurs, ski slope nose, red hair and freckles.  I think I found out last year that my dad's mom has a little bit.  So I'm pretty dilluted if there is any!

    No celebration for me...I've been way too busy with school stuff.  I didn't wear green today, although I usually do.
