My first real job at age 15 was working at the local Wendy's. Many of my high school friends worked there as well. We had so much fun and it's where I first discovered the difference between those who have a good work ethic and those who don't

These are hilarious! I've no idea who she is nor whatever she's done to annoy everyone, but she has single-handedly opened a window into what makes the Irish different from the rest of humanity

Wow, I'm so impressed. Your place looks terrific! And it's always fascinating to me to see how folks live in other countries.
Good job and best wishes

I hear there's a popular new restaurant in Cork that is getting a lot of attention. Never change, Corkans, you're the best!

Is the Ring of Kerry worth our time? I hope that doesn't sound horribly insulting, but from what we could tell, it seems like not much more than a pleasant drive through the countryside. What are we missing? We like visiting old buildings and museums and other interesting historical sights more than

This clap-back is 🔥

“You think my self-worth is determined by your opinion of me when in reality I know for a fact that I was better than you the day I was born.”

"Your grandparents were born on third base, mine were born in the parking lot but still managed to score before you.” Holy shit!

Sometimes you have to take a deep breath and count to 10; realize you wouldn’t look good in prison clothes and walk away.

A newer #painting for you. "Roscommon Bog", finished only a few weeks ago, came out of a lifetime of enjoying the bogs in the middle of Ireland. Many of my earliest days of cycling involved 200 km loops out into the bog of Allen. This painting came out of a later day. #ArtYear #Scape #SpeirGhorm

Landscape format in acrylics on canvas. The horizon is very high, about one sixth from the top of the painting and everything below it is the bog. The bog is rendered in horizontal bands of varying widths and hues of purples and oranges, giving a warm rusty effect overall punctuated by dark bands. Loosely the bog gets lighter the further away it is, but the immediate foreground is lighter than the next band, and between them is a bright horizontal puddle, in shades of very pale blues and yellows as it reflect the sky. About two-thirds of the way up is a very narrow horizontal strip running the full width of the painting, of pale grass growing. Beyond the bog along the horizon sits a gently undulating landscape of a distant patchwork of very pale green fields with pale blue-green hedgerows, trees and bushes. The sky is a very pale smokey blues and teal. Signed in blue in the bottom right corner, Liam Daly
