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!

Nice Glock ya got there...

[Supernatural]

Shooting is the most fun that I currently have.

Sounds like you know what you are doing. I wouldn't want you shooting at me!

[DollyCali]

that creep unfortunately might be in our face AGAIN for the next election.. at least the primaries.. pretty sad huh?

[tuliptree76]

Find someone knowledgeable about guns to give you a hand.

No one that I know of around where I live owns guns. And I'm sure the men I know wouldn't help me even if they did.

[Supernatural]

Hey, that's the ticket! Feed yourself!

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

There are probably local shooting ranges all around you. Check the yellow pages. You'll be amazed.

[RockinRight]

oes hubby know you're checking out another guy's Glock?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks sooo much for the kind comments, Dolly.

You're a beautiful and kind lady.

[Supernatural]

You must know some pretty crummy men.

Around here, or at any gun range I have ever been to, it is considered a point of honor among veteran gunners to help people getting into shooting. Especially women and kids.

[RockinRight]

How are you this evening?

[DollyCali]

I am pretty sure both are on DVD... I am such a movie fanatic.. would love movie on going thread but there are so many detractors "hate Hollywood" types here that it would be just a fight..not a fun thread to interact with other movie enthusiasts.

[WFTR]

I'm one of those geeks too! What field?

BS, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (and State University), 1986, Materials Engineering
MS (the first), Pennsylvania State University, 1988, Metals Science and Engineering
MS (the second), Tennessee Tech University, 1999, Chemical Engineering

I've worked all of my career in the corrosion and materials field. My first master's thesis was a corrosion study. The first seven years of my career were largely spent doing failure analysis, but I did some neat corrosion studies in my first job. After getting the second master's, I was going to change fields to chemical engineering, but the jobs weren't there. I ended up back in corrosion and materials. I did some more failure analysis and some bigger opeating unit studies. I've moved to a petrochemical plant where I handle more day to day questions and know enough chemical engineering to make the process engineers miserable with my suggestions. I still do some unit-level corrosion study/documentation work.

What is your field?

Bill

[proud_yank]

Oh no.... Here we go.... and I can't fight it!



When I finish my MSc I really want one of these (in addition to many others!), and I want to get "$ocialize This" laser-etched on the barrel.

You just have to love FReeper gals, any other singles forum and we'd be banned!

[DollyCali]

and back to you sweet lady. hope we eventually meet ... some of the best people I have met in the past years are FReepers.. meet them online & chat & then get together..

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Honey? So you mind if I look at other people's pistols? :P

[Supernatural]

Hey, I like movies, but I haven't seen many new ones in the past 10 years because I'm pretty much boycotting hollywood for many reasons.

I liked "Three Days of the Condor" with Robert Redford and "Thief" with James Cann and James Belushi.

Ever seen those two movies?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Pretty good thank you. Drinking my 5th Guinness... got 3 more to go. It'll probably take me a couple of days.

[pcottraux]

I've been a FReeper for a relatively short amount of time but I often wonder what it would be like to meet some people face-to-face.

[tuliptree76]

You must know some pretty crummy men.

I better not comment on that...

[DollyCali]

GREAT.. I already knew you were "heavy".. I am so impressed with the various backgrounds of FReepers.. and some are not so well endowed (intellectually/educationally) but are still outstanding people. Kind, good, smart. you are special!
