I have gave her a spin and then saw the ocean. Gorgeous.
My bedroom was the one on the right below the dormer windows.
Can't remember ever going upstairs...
At the time we were the only occupants apart from the farmers.
My mom sent me over to farmer tom's dairy to get our great big
ceramic jug filled with warm milk freshly strained. When it was
stormy I had to time my walk back as the waves sometimes crashed
up as high as the old dirt road and splashed into the jug. Now it's
become a lousy tourist trap.
Bad, sad, times for a lonely teenage alcoholic.
I did make some pretty far out installation art along the beaches
when I would skip school. Freaked out the locals.
The last time folks (well okay, a king) in the British Isles got in a twist with the church over marriage is resulted in a schism. Could a "Church of Ireland" be next?
Nah, besides it was a Cardinal who made that proclamation, not the Pope. However, it would be interesting to see who would serve as the modern-day Thomas More.
Projection. The defeat is the Vatican's. It also shows (regular, not the conservative wingnut variety) Catholics are good at compartmentalization. Plenty are ok with abortion, contraception, and gay marriage.

All the results are in, and the returning officer, Ríona Ní Fhlanghaile, has declared that Ireland has passed the same-sex marriage referendum by 1,201,607 votes to 734,300. That’s 62.1% yes to 37.9% no. The total turnout was 60.5%.
"We’re the first country in the world to enshrine marriage equality in our constitution and do so by popular mandate. That makes us a beacon, a light to the rest of the world of liberty and equality. It’s a very proud day to be Irish.”
Unexpected (especially if you haven't been in Ireland recently) perhaps. But I think this is good news for The West...Good news for the world.

Hmmm, in the Venn diagram of confusion and paranoia that is the world of RP sock puppets/fantasists/ne'er-do-wells/whackaloons I had firehousechef and cookinlover kind of sharing an overlap. I'd like to think that it was a nice cerise colour.
no backscrolling involved. I just have a good memory for the nonsense.
POW!
