Anne Mc Loone commented on Brendan O'Neill's group Irish Superstitions"So good to hear from people...thought I was "with the faeries" as they say here in Ireland about someone who is a bit retarded! Anyway, my ancestors would have had a very healthy respect for the "wee folk" as Wm.Butler Yeats…"

Superstition in Irish folklore
Many of the stories traditionally passed on verbally in Ireland in Gaelic were loaded with superstition eg. anyone going anywhere with a purpose such as to a fair to sell farmproduce would be advised to turn back immediately should they meet a red-haired female. Their mission was destined for disaster! Now there was a good population with red hair in this neck of the woods (NW Ireland) and indeed throughout the country so it must have been pretty limiting for those who believed in the…See More

- There will be 5 of us. All men and all wanting to walk in the Bloody Sunday March. I am sure there will be no posh as I can not afford posh but some of our friends in Belfast and Derry make dure we have a good time. It gets very cold in January where I live as well and several inches of snow are usually on the ground. I have several ski slopes within 15 miles of my house. So far this autumn, however, they are not too happy since the month of November has been warm here with temps in the 60's. Can't make snow when it is this warm! Try to stay dry.

- Hi Anne! Thanks for accepting the invite. I too like people and if you noticed I have tried to friend as many Irish people as possible. Thanks for the compliments on my family. I really do have a great one as I am sure you do as well. My grandparents are from Sligo and Mayo. They came here about 100 yrs ago or so. I have never really traced my family history but I am sure I will someday. About those snakes. My mom always said she named me Patrick for a reason...lol. Hope to talk to you soon.
Your new friend...Pat
