I'm half Irish, so I'm half green today.  Notice the green smile (not the teeth).
I know Conor is out dancing somewhere today, partying. If I remember right, he has a special outfit just for today.

Has it been a year already!?
I only learned that it was St. Patricks Day today because my calendar on a mobile told me so.
Have a good time everyone who is celebrating.
Just don't drink and post.

I unfortunately missed St. Patrick's this year  I've been sick for the past 9-10 days and for the first 4 days literally couldn't eat or drink even water  Good thing is, I dropped some weight
So my St. Patrick's celebration was skipped this year, but when I get married in June I'm sure there'll be enough drinking and dancing
Hopefully everyone and a safe and happy holiday!

Thanks guys. I met Kim through match.com 2 years ago this month actually. During October-December we had made a deal that if I was unable to find/purchase the truck I wanted (Hummer H1 Alpha) for the price I wanted, then I would buy a ring instead  Now you'd think that the girl would be doing everything NOT to find the truck, but she actually wants it more than I do!! Even after the ring was purchased she's still finding various deals and contacting dealerships to find the right vehicle. The goal now is to have the truck by December of this year. We'll see

With the gas prices like they are today (and climbing), are you sure Hummer is the choice you'd like to stick to?

Yep- it's the truck I've wanted. You have to keep in mind that I work from home, and my current vehicle (Dodge Durrango) maybe received 5,000 miles on it last year, and that included a 3,000 mile trip. The furthest distance that I drive locally is 8 miles, and that's to the airport when leaving town. Most of my driving is less than 1 mile these days.
I'd still have the other two vehicles also, but the Hummer is one that I've wanted for a very long time - especially as a camping/recreation vehilce. There's a few Hummer Clubs in Omaha, Des Moines and Kansas City, so there's always an offroad trip etc.
It's just one of those things that are budgeted for. Some people budget for vacations - the truck would be my vacation.

I can certainly understand the dream, Conor.  I am not actually that familiar with Hummers. How powerful are they? What's their consumption like in the city?
I've read last year that they were discontinuing the line altogether. Did that go through, or they decided to keep the production?
