You know whats strange I’m the only person in my family who has two Irish first names??? My dad isn’t Irish, but my mums side does have some Irish elements. Grandmother is Half Irish and I have relatives in Ireland I don’t even know about! Question: If my grandmother is Half-Irish, what portion am I? ---

Welcome, **Ryan\_Liam**! Don’t forget to drop off your 100lb bag of Hamster-Chow. If you don’t, the hamsters get cranky and decide to go on strike. 😃 Enjoy your stay, Skerri, who is also a woman, alas, too old for you. 😉 ---
