"In Ireland" is correct. We use the term "on" when we refer to our outlying islands, such as "on Achill" or "on Bere".

Christ on a bike, but you've put me in mind of my own thumb squishing incident. The details are rather similar to yours, but I was outside the car and I roared like an animal and left a dent in the roof of the car. 16895. thoughtful - 10/5/2005 3:24:10 PM oh i hate finger crushing stories...always make my fingers hurt. Famous one in our family was when a husband was saying goodbye to his wife and she slammed the door on his finger....he starts yelling and pointing at the door. Dear wife thought he was telling her the door wasn't closed tightly, so she opens it and slams it shut again on that same finger!
Ow doesn't quite cover it.
16896. Magoseph - 10/5/2005 4:22:41 PM But, damn, I have the satisfaction of knowing his wife never, ever knew.
Mr. Loar, next time your finger is caught, the without patience or compassion women in your life certainly will jump to its rescue.
Mac, the NYT puzzle today had this definition and it is from a Bob Seger’s song—I had never heard of him before.
16897. Ms. No - 10/5/2005 4:57:55 PM Mags,
That line sounds like Against the Wind. Is it Bob Seger? I should know, but it's early yet for me as well.....which should scare the crap out of you since I've already spent 40 minutes on the freeways getting to work. 16898. thoughtful - 10/5/2005 5:00:27 PM Mags, you aren't going to like all of mom's anti-aging tips.
First, choose your parents wisely...nothing like good dna.
Second, don't smoke, don't drink.
Third, keep mentally as well as physically active.
Fourth, hang out with people younger than yourself to keep plugged in to what's happening...they'll help you stay young.
Fifth is not advice, but an element of her youthful appearance...she tangled badly with a pressure cooker which steam burned her face. While painful, the healing process left her skin much firmer than it was before. A not recommended form a dermabrasion to be sure.
Sixth, stay happy. 16899. Ms. No - 10/5/2005 5:04:26 PM Well, I've just now finished reading the rest of the thread and see that had I not been so hasty I'd have seen for sure that it was Bob Seger.
Sheesh. 16900. judithathome - 10/5/2005 6:09:23 PM Thoughtful, if you could see Magos, you'd know she should be the one writing tips on how not to age rather than asking for them! She is stunning and her skin is such that all us Motie women should be green with envy.
But the best thing about her is that she is a wonderful friend and I think that is what makes her a rare and true beauty. 16901. thoughtful - 10/5/2005 6:34:12 PM J@h, what a nice thing to say...I think I can see mags blushing from here! 16902. jexster - 10/5/2005 7:27:10 PM der ewige Schwede

We have a plan. 16904. Magoseph - 10/5/2005 8:36:55 PM I think I can see mags blushing from here!
Me, blushing? Of course, not, I thrive on stuff like that every time I have a chance. Immediately after I read Judith's post, I asked Flexy if he thought I was a stunning woman with a beautiful skin and a soul to match.
Thank you, Judith—you are indeed a sweet and a generous person.
16905. Magoseph - 10/5/2005 8:37:53 PM By the way, thoughtful, in another thread you typed utters for udders and hour for our. I feel so much better that I’m not the only one who do this lately. “Because” is a word that I often see misspelled as ‘becuase’ in other forums.
Someone said somewhere that misspelling simple words is a warning that one should take seriously. I don’t know what that person meant because I can’t remember the forum. 16906. Ms. No - 10/5/2005 8:41:03 PM I think it's only a warning if there is a sudden change in the type and frequency of mistakes. 16907. Magoseph - 10/5/2005 8:42:03 PM Which warning is it, do you think? 16908. Ms. No - 10/5/2005 8:47:20 PM Probably any number of maladies - senility, alzheimers, brain tumor, reversal of super-acting experimental smart pills.
Then there's always alien experimentation. 16909. thoughtful - 10/5/2005 9:09:08 PM I thought it was a si666gn of posse666ssion by an ev666il spi666rit 16910. arkymalarky - 10/5/2005 11:43:27 PM We're going to miss you, Arky. One consolation for us: we'll know that you're feeling better than you did last year.
Thank you! I'm very glad I don't feel like I did this time last year, but I'll be around the Mote as much as I am now.
16911. arkymalarky - 10/5/2005 11:53:32 PM Scott, I love the finger-mashing story (but the mashing description made me cringe), and your daughter's reaction made me laugh out loud. I can relate. 16912. arkymalarky - 10/5/2005 11:53:56 PM The second description, that is. 16913. Magoseph - 10/6/2005 4:44:52 PM Check out Arts, Crafts and Culture:
