good morning miz roamy :coffee:ie::grouphug:

 

mornin' ranger.:coffee:ie::love:

 

hi kenny. no a six month wait for a visa from embassy only applys to irish people who plan to stay more than 90days in the states.as my visit to states will not be exceeding that time limit i am covered under V.W.P. i.e. the visitors waiver programme on the B.1. visa . E.S.T.A.i.e=through the electronic system for travel authoriization. within two to three weeks before i plan to fly to the states. the first time i was in the states that was'nt necessary at the time.it a new thing since then. the irish an us goverment have agreements on the waiver programme between both countries.

hava great all.:love:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:grouphug:s

 

p.s.kenny. you just have to pay a fee of 15dollars for registration online.the travel agents will do that for me.

 

Well that's good. Some countries they have to apply forever in advance. I have friends that have told me nightmare stories.

So, you'll have an easy time of it. Too cool.

 

The hummingbirds are back!

 

I have been bitten by the creativity bug. The colors swril in my head, like a kaleidoscope of dreams in paisley patterns on the wall of my mind's eye.

Tiny, glittering remnants of jewels, like the sun shining on the rippling waters of life that flow through the veins of creation.

The flecks of energy cascading, flowing, sparking impulses with a force not lightly ignored by motion, action of body/mind/ and spirit in unison with the beating of the hearts plan.

I go forward in your grace in the most perfect way, honoring always the mirrical of creation that has been instilled inside of me igniting a volcano of liquid color splashing and defining the picture of eternity.

 

yes, I have it bad bbabababad.. planting flowers, color, making tie-dyes, color, beading, color.. I suppose the drab winter had my creative juices low.. this warm weather seems to have rather tingling affect on my sense's. Perhaps it's the wind that is radio active coming in from the west coast. Or maybe I am getting 'solar' intervention from the cosmos, whatever it is, it is working on me.

Good Morning Everyone :grouphug:

 

I Love Hummingbirds Ranger, I have to get some new feeders, the one I have are no good any more.

 

cleaned and refilled ours yesterday.......

 

ya, tis grand kenny.a fair exchange is no robbery.where were your friends applying to go to and from ?

:seeya:guys any word from sag yet ?:love:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:grouphug:s

 

I had had some friends from Paris long ago. They needed to apply 6 month and pray for a YES. Two different friends. Also a guy from Milano, It.

You guys have it good.

Seems that U.S. people have kind of a Carte Blanch almost anywhere. They just wave you right in even without a visa. Just show your pass port and they smile and stamp it. I guess that they figure that if you got across the ocean then you must have money on you. Come on in and spend it. LOL

I'm so glad that it's easy for you.

 

i don't know what the story is concerning france and milano kenny.but i think the irish a u.s. agreement is more of a reflection of the close historical and cultural links between ireland and the u.s. ya,it's grand for both sides.easy for americans to come here too.like i said,a fair exchange is no robbery.

 

the fact that there are more Irish folk here than in Ireland may have something to d with it. :2thumbsup:

 

well that would be impossible ranger as theres only about 1 million Irish people living abroad altogether. ha! ha!

 

there are at least that many who will fight you for the right to call themselves Irish in the saloons, bars, and pubs on Geary street in San Francisco. LOL

 

Here. Go here to settle your BAR BET. LOL.
Seek and Yee Shall find (the true answer)

more than 1.5 million adults and children left Ireland to seek refuge in America.

 

U.S. Census Bureau

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb12-ff03.html

The numbers are staggering.

The United States. 11.2 percent for the nation is of Irish descent.
13 Percent of New York state residents who were of Irish ancestry in the 2010 census.

34.7 million
Number of U.S. residents who claimed Irish ancestry in 2010. This number was more than seven times the population of Ireland itself (4.58 million). Irish was the nation's second most frequently reported ancestry, trailing only German.

And a whole ton of even most interesting Irish stuff of this wed page. Check it out.

Like:
The world's first St. Patrick's Day parade occurred on March 17, 1762, in New York City,…

 

And if Roamy comes to see us then we can count one more. Right.

The last person to leave Ireland should remember to turn out the lights and lock the door. LOL

 

i was just explaining to ranger kenny that there is not more Irish people living in the u.s. than there is Irish people living in Ireland. there over three million Irish people living in ireland. you are talking about Americans with Irish ancestory.statistically speaking there is a larger amount of Americans with German ancestry living in the u.s. the next highest is Americans with Irish ancestry.btw 1.5 million did'nt make it to u.s. many died on voyage there.
