Welcome, Irishlad!
What's those numbers in the last part of your ATS name?
Hey, do you know any people with the surname of Shields near you?
Are you a Shields?
Just wondering. The Shields surname, which stopped, in my direct lineage stopped with my ma. But the name came down from many, many years ago with an
immigrant to the U.S. Yeah, at the time when "No Irish Need Apply" was posted on many businesses when calls went out for new hires.
Handed down through the years in my mom's family were stories, maybe just legends or myths, about events in Ireland's history. I adapted them into
a tatoo design that's on one of my arms. After I got the tatoo, me ole mum reminded me that the Bible proclaimed that marking one's body in
remembrance of dead people was taboo. Oh, noes!!!!!!! I'm going to hell for this!
Not! If there's a hell, I will be going for much worse stuff
than that!
Again, welcome, Irishlad!
