I remember being pinched because I didn't have on green for St. Paddy's Day and it was not great. My grandson goes back to school today after being out of school for Spring break for an entire week. I made sure he put on a green shirt. :clover: :clover: :clover: :rainbow:

Post by: haimsterette on March 17, 2014, 05:28:03 am: I don't do anything to celebrate, usually don't even wear green! I don't have much anything green and just make a point to tell everyone first thing "Don't pinch me. I'm serious." Haha. Mostly it's just another day -- but it is also my cousin's birthday so that's cool. :) :clover: :heart:

It is a good excuse for that. I think it has do with St. Patrick, whoever he was. He may be the one who drive out the snakes out of Ireland with his flute. I like the pinch if you are not wearing green. Top Of the Morning to ya!
