    1. Re: [S-I] symbol for group

    3. I think you can sell this idea to the Loyalists for a huge wall mural <grin>! They won't have a problem deciding where the thistle goes <grin>. Wow, I'm cheered up now. I don't even mind my newdog ran away (but came back) and my computer went south (but now works again) or that it is a week till St. Patricks Day when all the idiots hit the streets!!

    1. Re: [S-I] symbol for group

    3. How embarrassing....I posted this to the whole group? Well there goes my diplomatic appointment. I guess the idiots are not just on the streets drinking green beer this time of year. Some of us are inside self-destructing or exposing ourselves to be sectarian jokesters....... Someone's going to show up at my door and revoke my Irish genes now. And so much for that mascarade of being a 'peace and love' kind of person, not that too many were fooled. Mea culpa.... Linda Merle ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cliff.
