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!

Why don't feminists have a sense of humor?

This question may be putting the cart before the horse (all symbolism intended). Do feminists lose their sense of humor or do they become feminists because they never had a sense of humor?

LOL, you don't need a reason!! You still get an A++ though!!

[tuliptree76]

True. But what little money I earn has to go towards other things - like food and shelter - at this time.

[DollyCali]

GREAT! If you have no preference in male co=host, I will "pair" you.. now this is a pairing to co=host.. not forever bonded together..

I loved them both

[DollyCali]

YES!

I guess I'm kinda waiting for a sign or something. I don't know. I'm nervous about making decisions. The military is something I feel really strongly about though. I was really disappointed when I found out that my father avoided it. My grandfather fought in WWII and his father fought in WWI. So it's really important to me.

I wish there was a way I could stay in the South. I really love it here. But even more than that, I want to get into national politics. It just fascinates me. I can't imagine doing anything else.

A girl that can shoot a gun - major turn on!

I don't have good aim.

A girl that can shoot a gun - major turn on!

Very true! Just so long as they aren't anti-gun is 100% acceptable by me though.

[proud_yank]

Oh no, are we degrading to gun-porn????

[WFTR]

That's a nice gun. I'm thinking about getting a lightweight revolver. The FEMA trailers near my home have renewed my interest in guns.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

No, I haven't, is it on DVD yet? I'll rent it.

[Supernatural]

Even an old, cheap single-barreled shotgun at this point to keep at home is better than nothing. About $35.

[Supernatural]

That's a nice one!

Can you hit what you are shooting at?

At close range you can just point it like you point your finger and do very well. I'm talking about five feet or so.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

I don't have good aim.

All it takes is practice.

[proud_yank]

Cool! I was working on thermo all afternoon, fun fun.... Your Guinness all gone?

I think it's more a liberal vs. conservative thing.

Think of the show "Family Ties." The writers of that show made Alex P. Keaton as a satire of what they thought conservatism was. Instead, conservatives saw the humor, and just LOVED the character! In the opposite situation, libs would be on TV calling for an end to "hate speech" in sitcoms.
