Greetings. I come in peace

Hello, I’m new. I am also married to jjimm. If you can’t beat 'em, join 'em.

Poor WriterChick has been an “SDMB widow” for nearly 6 years. Now she’s arrived to keep an eye on me.

She’s a native Irish speaker, very clever, and very forthright in her views. Oh, and she’s hot too. :wink:

Please keep your arms and legs inside the car.

So I shouldn’t mention my utterly hopeless and unrequited internet crush on jjimm, then?

Oh. Crap. Welcome anyway! :smiley:

You’ve probably made his day there. :wink:

Isn’t that the international diplomacy version of the corporate lie, “Hi. We’re from corporate and we’re here to help.”
(So, what is the rejoinder in international diplomacy that equates to the lie, “And we’re gald to see you.”)

Well, in a way. Think Mars Attacks.

Is native irish the same as gaelic?

Welcome, WriterChick. Enjoy you stay. Try not to step on the cats. The buffet is this way…

It is indeed but nobody in Ireland actually calls it Gaelic. We just call it Irish. And it’s not the same as Gallic (spoken in some parts of Scotland) but obviously from the same root and therefore similar.

Sure, act all nice to the partner of a long-time poster. No warnings about the squid and goats or anything, eh?

(Welcome to the Board, WriterChick. :smiley: )

Welcome!

(and sniff for the end of those long, flirtatious conversations I’ve enjoyed with jjimm about, yanno, compost piles and things.)

Welcome, WriterChick. I’ve always enjoyed reading jjimm’s point of view, so it’s nice to have you along, too.

My husband BobPi recently joined after hearing talk constantly about the Dope for a year or so.

Welcome to the SDMB, WriterChick.

If you’re looking to “trade up”, I’m available <wink-wink-nudge-nudge>

Howdy, WriterChick. Nice to meet another newbee.

So what do you write?

Or, now that you’re on the SDMB, what did you formerly write before you joined?

WriterChick, hóigh agus fáilte! If you’ll just step over on the red dot right here…

Welcome WriterChick.

I hope you enjoy your stay.

You’re married to a pissed-off halfling? Cool! Oh, and welcome too.

Hi WriterChick, what’s the straight scoop on those leprechauns ?
