More test results……….

More elevated levels but “nothing to be overly concerned with at this juncture”. Alrighty then, see ya in 3 - 4 weeks! I think they’re just taking my blood for the hell of it! They know my aversion to that place, my deep hatred for those damn needles. And that wench who [...]

Decisions, decisions

Friday night is fast approaching, and I can’t decide what to do. There’s heavy metal karaoke to attend, fingers to point, and people to ridicule! Oh I can see it now!! But, and here’s my dilemma, the future Mr. Limerick is the musical entertainment at the Watering Hole. I should add he is still happily [...]

The Third Wheel

We’ve all been there; each & every one of us at some point or another has been the 3rd wheel. Isn’t that just the best time ever????? Now there actually are time it’s good to have the third wheel around; lets discuss, shall we??Suppose you have the misfortune to date an asshole/bitchface, having a mate [...]

For the guys!

Signs you’re not getting laid tonight!

If she utters the words “touch me one more time and I’ll go Lorena Bobbit on your ass!”
If she’s wearing sweats/flannel pj’s/granny nighty.
If you see her reach for granny panties/a heating pad/advil/the tv remote.
If she’s already in bed asleep and you try to wake her up.
If she’d rather [...]

Revelations

So it dawned on me that I’m a very jealous person. I knew, to a point, I was a jealous person but I’d no idea the extent of my green eyed monster. Alas, I’m too old to change now, so deal with it people! The past few weeks have been a real eye opener for [...]

Coffee & a movie!

So you’ve been invited round to a friend’s house for coffee; while there, she asks you if you want to watch the video of her giving birth and before you can choke on your beverage, you’ve got a screenful of crotch in your face. Ladies, I fully understand the miracle that is life; I applaud [...]

Heavymetal Karaoke

Jersey Bitch, Mitch Bu’Cannon (Boom!!!) and I decided to try something different one night; having been given high praise indeed by Mitch and considering his willingness to return, we thought it was worth checking out. People, I felt like an extra in a bad 80’s big hair band video. Now, some were quite good and [...]

Bimbo-itis

So poor poor Paris Hilton got caught with her knickers down again…….literally! She stopped paying the rent on a storage facility and when they auctioned her crap from the storage unit, happened across yet another sex tape; I swear that child has more sex tapes of herself than I do shoes……unbelievable! Now I’m quite sure [...]

Dreams

In my dream last night, I was standing under a tree smoking with Mitch Bu’Cannon (Boom!!!). He started to walk away from me and was chased by a poisonous snake, that kept rearing it’s ugly little head and trying to bite him on the ankles. What the hell does that mean??? And are snakes normally [...]

Crazy Cat Lady!

That’s what I’m going to be when I grow up! I want to end up bitter & alone, surrounded by 87 cats! To hell with men, I say! Down with men…….hmmm………ok I’m back! I’m going to start out small and just get a little kitten - have to consider Wonderpooch in all [...]

Dear Circe,

Mr. Manchester and I discussed this last night, and after careful consideration, we feel we have no recourse but to implore, nay demand that you stop watching The (MY) Husbands play! How can we expect to win the league if you insist on watching game after game???? You’re jinxed and we feel that it’s just [...]

My name is Limerick Gal and I’m a spendaholic!

It’s a sickness people!! Please don’t judge me!I haven’t even filed my tax return yet and I’m already happily spending the money in my mind, and those happy thoughts will last until I have cash in hand/wallet/bank/arse pocket and I’m merrily trucking along to the nearest store! Don’t you agree that every home isn’t truly [...]

You’ve won the lottery!

It’s an obscene amount of money - you’re set for life! You need never work a day again in your life, if you so desire! How do you spend it??? I long for this day, I’m prepped and ready to go at the drop of a hat!!I’d:1. Go to Old Trafford to see The Husbands.2. [...]

From the mouth of babes……..

On Christmas Eve, while I had the family visiting, we made a phone call to Younger Bro’s home. Mother dearest was chatting away to d’nephew, who’s just turned three. Apparently bored with the conversation, d’nephew handed the phone to his dad and said “Turn her off!”……..priceless!

A means to an end

You know sometimes it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie. But that little, nagging voice at the back of your mind convinces you to give those sleeping dogs a right kick in the arse and shake them up a bit! So, of course you do!
Doesn’t it feel great??? You get to sort your shit out [...]

Last night…….

Was spent playing trivia at the Watering Hole. A nice relaxing way to pass an evening, hanging out with friends trying to figure out who’s dead and who’s alive - for trivia purposes now, I’m not referring to those who were at the bar! Butt Floss’ friend was in and little did I know that [...]

I know that life is a struggle, just getting throu…

I know that life is a struggle, just getting through the day to day crap is enough to send us to the depths of despair sometimes. But when did it become a competition? I feel like I’m competing with everyone around me, for everything I have and everything I hope to have. I didn’t train [...]

Oh Well!

Yeah, so much for good things happening - Munster lost & The Husbands lost……….there, I’ve mentioned it!!
It’s pissing rain here today; a really shitty miserable day, a perfect day to spend on the couch and since I’m feeling under the weather, that’s exactly where I am! And I’m pretty sure that’s where I’ll stay [...]

Crawling back…….

My ego is shattered, my self esteem and confidence are non-existent, and not because of any one particular reason. The hits just keep coming but on the bright side, things really can only get better!Take today’s game between Liverpool & Chelsea as a sign of good things to come - Liverpool won!!! Chelsea [...]

Icky………..

So I’ve figured out one downside to owning your own home; you can’t just up & move! What a pain in the arse - if I was still renting, I could be hightailing it to Chicago as I type but no, instead here I sit, bitching & moaning to myself cos even the dog’s fecked [...]

Haha!

I don’t normally put much weight in my horoscopes, but thought today’s was so appropriate I had to share it!!
*Today’s Pisces Horoscope February 19 - March 20Sure, there are some problems in your life right now — but they are as minor as a fly buzzing around your head. So it’s really more about being [...]

I missed the memo……..

But somewhere along the way, it was decided that I’m forever wrong and certain others are forever right. That may be all well and good, but if you can’t bloody well remember what I was wrong about and what you were right about, then I really don’t see the need to rehash every detail over [...]

Blah Blah Blah

I have absolutely nothing to say! It’s kind of upsetting actually. I have no words of wisdom to impart on you, and knowing how you all look to me for guidance I must now apologize profusely! Can you believe I made it through the last few days without going over my [...]

Puberty ruins happiness……..

That’s Hecarte’s philosophy right now; because I’m bored, because there’s feck all on telly, and I’m not feeling at all social tonight, I’ll take that debate!
Is it puberty, or a loss of innocence, or is it something else? As a child, life is so easy - at least my childhood was…..I miss those days! It [...]

It’s life, Jim, but not as I know it!

So what’s the secret of life? Is it someone’s idea of a joke to have us go through all the drama and bullshit that’s thrown at us on a daily basis? The relationship struggles, the pressure to find someone, the pressure to keep someone, the pressure to live up to other’s ideals of you. [...]

Changes

I mentioned before that I felt there are some people who can’t/won’t change that much. Is that really a true statement? Does it depend on the person and their particular situation??
Course, it all comes down to what changes need to be made. If we’re looking at something detrimental here, like drug and/or alcohol abuse, or [...]

Back to Becks……..

He’s definitely occupying the news lately; now they’re saying that he’ll never play with Real again - they’ll allow him to train with the team but his days on the pitch are over. Does that sum up his football career in general? Is his career (as he/we knew it) over? Is he simply another washed [...]

In ten years

Over drinks last night with Mitch Bu’Cannon (Boom!!!), he asked where I saw myself in ten years. Another very good question - Jaysus we’re full of them today!!!In ten years:

I’d like to think I’d be living in Chicago, but I’ll probably still be in Atlanta talking about moving to Chicago.
It’s a fair assumption [...]

The weekend

Somehow I managed to score a whole weekend off from the Watering Hole! Sweet!! A whole weekend of “my time” - I’m tempted to pack up Wonderpooch and head for the mountains, maybe stay overnight tomorrow night in Helen and let him drag me up & down trails to his hearts content! [...]

Another Interesting Question

So you’ve broken up with your S/O. Awww, too bad. Chin up; plenty more fish in the sea; it’s not like you’ve been together for years; etc etc. We’ve all heard those lines before! But, why oh why do some people feel the need to call their recent dumper/dumpee, and inform them [...]

An Interesting Question

“……Everyone makes mistakes….some big, some not so big…what are you willing to tolerate? what are you willing to forgive? where do you draw the line? I suppose it all depends on where you are in the relationship…which raises an interesting question: the longer/closer together you are, do you become more or less tolerant??…….”A very interesting [...]

Enough doom & gloom……..back to football

It would appear that my dear, sweet, adorable, huggable, shaggable, he who has a smother factor of 9.8 (excuse me while I catch my breath) Becks is moving to LA at the end of the current season. A good move? A bad move? I thought Glazer (asshole) taking over United was a bad move and [...]

Mistakes

It takes a big person to admit they were wrong and apologise for their mistakes. But does it take a bigger person to forgive them their wrong doings? Is it possible to have any semblance of a relationship with anyone, if you can’t get past the mistakes and move forward? Does that fall under the [...]

Back to Wonderpooch……yet again

I’m not sure if I mentioned that when my parents were here, they liberated Wonderpooch and convinced me not to crate him anymore. After all, he’s all grown up now (??????) and deserves to be able to move around. So they invested in a baby gate to keep him in the kitchen, and I thought [...]

My friends need help!

My biologically single friend - we’ll admit the slip of the tongue now and inform ye she meant to say Geographically Single. Again, I digress……….So, she’s missing her hubby; she’s dying for him to come back to town……….and if the truth be known we’re dying for him to get back to town too!!! She’s trying [...]

Dead Dog Humping!

What was supposed to be a nice, relaxing, cultured evening with the girls had been degraded by one Wonderpooch! He’s taken a shine to his Aunt Jersey Bitch’s arm and refuses to let go! In fact, he’s hanging on for dear life! Dear Jesus, he’s being a typical guy and not taking no for an [...]

Fate & Karma

Do you believe in fate? Are the people we meet and the person we become controlled by fate? Do the decisions we make throughout our life affect our fate or would fate like us just to believe that, meanwhile we have absolutely no control over our life?! Then we have karma. The Buddhists believe that [...]

Hmmmmmm

All you want to do is be with one person; your good times are great and they make you feel so important to them. And you have bad times; at times bigger than little bumps in the road, complete road blocks. But, you’re hooked, in over your head, can’t imagine spending a day [...]

Test results are back…….

All negative! Have to go for routine bloodtests over the next few months but I think I can deal with that. So now we have an excuse to celebrate…..like we needed an excuse but there ya go! Who’s with me????

Girls night out

After some bailing & canceling, I was joined by Ms. Bliss, Jersey Bitch, and Bibi for dinner. We went to Sage - for those of you living in the area, I highly recommend it!!! Although I’ve forgotten our waiter’s name, he was absolutely adorable!! He was well trained in the art of “Oh, your glass [...]

Trust

Can a relationship survive without trust? Any relationship, be it friendship, sibling relationship, or parent/offspring relationship? Can you trust someone in every aspect but one? There’s that one little thing that you’re afraid they won’t do. Or maybe you’re afraid they will do it. Can two people remain committed to each other without 100% trust? [...]

Isn’t it amazing that you can form a picture of so…

Isn’t it amazing that you can form a picture of someone in your mind and it turns out that you’re totally & utterly wrong?! Why is that?Anyway, that’s not the point to the post - matter of fact there’s no point to this post, I’m just rambling again. Have another case of the blues - [...]

Dancing Queen

Mr. Norway is our resident Dancing Queen. In the Watering Hole on New Year’s Eve, he was showing off moves never seen before. All the other customers just stood and stared in what could only be construed as awe and admiration. Hats off to you, Mr. Norway, for showing us how to throw down!

Surprise!

Sitting having dinner with Jersey Bitch, when who should call only The Cork Examiner!!! Three sheets to the wind, wandering the streets of Cork, and blowing kisses down the phone! He’s in great form though, and kept us laughing for the entire 11 minutes & 31 seconds. A feat not many men can accomplish!!
Dear Cork [...]

Back to JB…….

Jersey Bitch is channeling all things Irish & English right now. Ok, so that’s maybe a slight exaggeration. She’s learning to swear like a sailor, using the best (and the worst) swear words we have to offer. Her mother ought to be so proud!! As proud as mine will be when she finds out what [...]

The festivities come to an end

Time to de-Christmas the house and get back to a regular schedule. All in all, it was a good holiday - it had it’s ups & downs but at this stage, I’d be worried if that didn’t happen! I’m so happy I had to work NYE; it absolutely kept me out of trouble! Others weren’t [...]

Happy New Year!

I barely survived working at the Watering Hole tonight. I had the pleasure of working with Mitch Bu’Cannon (Boom!!), Young Mr. Dublin, Sweetheart, Scars the Angry Pirate, and Mr. I Won’t Divulge Shit!The regulars were in party mode - some were very well behaved; a small few….not so much! I thought midnight would never roll [...]
