I'm sitting here wearing NO Green, but thankfully I am the only one sitting here in this dark family room.  No "Pinches" will I get!! 

Not feeling the best....feels like a dreaded UTI.

 TΓ‘ mΓ© tinn. Not feeling great in Leprechaun language (I think)

  2. I only new one answer, the shamrock clover is the Irish symbol and if you find a four leaf clover its a variation of a shamrock and because of that will be lucky
    I am unable to play a trivia game, because my brain doesn't hold trivia facts.
    I do hope you are not coming down with the dreaded UTI or a virus, prayers for you to feel better as the day passes today

  18. Oh ugh ... I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling much like a *crispy critter* today.
    I love random factoids, and these sure didn't disappoint. So much for believing I knew all about St. Paddy's day -- humbling! (lol)

  20. Your post is a wealth of information considering how you are not feeling well. I used to get U.T.I.'s almost every month when I was young. I hope you feel better. I was just taken to the hospital by ambulance today, just got home and am fine! But late with my comments.

  22. Some Fun St. Patrick's Day trivia you shared, Shug. I learned a few things too! Wow, that's a lot of money for the people to spend on this holiday. And I saw the green river on my dear friend, Sandie's blog recently. That was so cool. I hope you feel better, Shug. Those are awful to get. I am lovin' all the green on your post today.
