Why Saint Patrick's Day?

Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick's Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.

So, why is it celebrated on March 17th? One theory is that that is the day that St. Patrick died. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is believed that as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with them their history and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost all businesses close on March 17th. Being a religious holiday as well, many Irish attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating begins.

In American cities with a large Irish population, St. Patrick's Day is a very big deal. Big cities and small towns alike celebrate with parades, "wearing of the green," music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!

THAT is true. Tegan and Ace didn't let anyone push them about! I liked the Brigadier because he was all-business and was a nice foil for the Doctor's galavanting ways.

[RockinRight]

For good?

[Army Air Corps]

I spent time working on dissertation stuff. Woo hoo!

[Supernatural]

Victoria, are those really pictures of you where it says 'click me' on your profile page?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Yes, they are.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Well, good for you. How's it going, by the way?

[Army Air Corps]

You got tanned? All this time I thought that was natural. Now, the illusion is blown...just kidding. :-)

The pace is steady, but it will accelerate when I get to some of the material covered in the last third of the chapter.

"Stitch" is the name of the genetic experiment 626, a fictional alien character from the Lilo & Stitch films and television program. Originally created to cause chaos across the galaxy, he is marked by his short temper and mischievous behavior, traits that endear him to his friend Lilo, who adopted him as her puppy dog...

[Victoria Delsoul]

I am brunette, but I like the get tanned a bit, especially during winter.

[Clemenza]

Yep. I'm SICK OF ALL OF THIS MOVING! Other than New York, I have spent short stints in Miami, Chicago, and Seattle. I always wind up back home in New York. If I ever move again, it will be within a 30 mile radius of New York.

[Army Air Corps]

Okay. That is a Disney character, isn't it? I am an anime guy so I am not "hep" to the Disney stuff aside from Mickey and his mates.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

You're one hot mama, and that's coming from a straight chick.

[Army Air Corps]

"I am brunette..."

And quite a spiffing one.

[SFC Chromey]

She tells you she hates it, but that didn't stop her from dragging my sorry butt onto that God forsaken ride!

[RockinRight]

LOL...

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks, and that's coming from a straight chick, too. LOL.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

A lot of the Disney animators are big anime fans. Bet you didn't know that. I love anime too. What are some of your favorites?
