	There was a case in a Johannesburg Hospital's ICU, where patients always died in the same bed, every Sunday morning at 11am regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and some even thought that particular bed was the work of the Devil as to why the deaths at 11am on Sunday mornings? A world-wide team of experts were constituted and they decided to go to the ward to investigate the cause of the incidents. So on the next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11am, all doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books and other holy objects to ward off any evil spirits. Just then the clock struck 11 and Precious Tshabalala walked in (part-time cleaner) unplugged the life support machine and plugged in the vacuum cleaner.

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 4 590 Send Message	Hi Cath, I am not sure wether this is correct, but does Inisheer, Aran Island, County Galway sound like it could be the right area. I had a hot match with someone, with the same G.Grandmother's name as mine, but when I sent a p.m, I got no response, so I assumed they had left the site. And I have never got any further with it. Thank you again for looking for me. I have to admit Maddie, I am a bit nervous about the haircut, but I always wear my hair short anyway.

	Evening all, (((((((hugs))))))) for Rita, and anyone else who wants one, lol. Mo, I'm still hunting for Matthias. Flaherty apparently is a west of Ireland name (particularly Galway) so will have a look and see. Only 4 weeks till I go to Ireland, Wexford area and am looking forward to a pint or two of the "Black Stuff". Will drink a toast to all on Friendly.!! Pauline hope you are feeling better. Has anyone heard from Yvonne? Marilyn enjoy the parade. Back in a while, Cath xx

Member Since: May 2009 Posts: 5 061 Send Message	Hi everyone, Back home after a hard day in the office! If you believe that you'll believe anything! These 2 men are in Tolstoy's imagination- not my reality! Sorry! As it happens the girl ends up with nobody. Ah shame! Mind you I haven't fininsed the book yet. With regards to St Patrick's day I try to tell my friends it's my feast day but i think it falls on deaf ears. Rita, i'm sending you loads of positive thoughts all nicely boxed up with a red bow. I hope you feel better soon. Dermot, I look forward to your writings on 1st April!

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 4 590 Send Message	Maddie, it's more than likely that it will be me thats the wallflower. I really is a quiet lickle fing. I have been painting the walls, not myself, so i'm not dolling myself up. Mind you, I have had to cover the grey hairs, I can't be showing you up now can I. We have the name of the Friendlies Thread to uphold, and our Marilyn would be most upset if we her girls let her down. Mind you, I am having my hair cut tomorrow, by a new hairdresser, and if she scalps me, I will have to wear a hat. ( a skull cap )

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 4 590 Send Message	My word Pauline, Dermot leaves me breathless with his writings, I am waiting with baited breath for the 1st of April now. I'm not sure whats worse, having hair thats as straight as a die, or hair that frizzes when moisture gets to it. My grandaughters all have to straighten their hairs, but theres me with hair that needs curling or blow drying, to give it some shape. Are you feeling any better now.? Well Linda, fate has surely lent you a hand with your retirement from child minding. It couldn't have worked out any better could it. Are you up to date after your holiday now.? Marilyn enjoy the St Patricks day parade, just make sure you stand in a safe place, and don't get swept away in the crowd. The Americans go in for it big time don't they. A friend of mine is of up to London tomorrow, for the celebrations. Colette is Irish, and goes up there every year with her friends. I'm not sure where abouts they go, but they have a brilliant time of it. Oh Rita, I am so sorry you are still having to put up with the tinnitus. It's so debilatating for you love. And not getting any sleep does not help. I will be thinking of you tonight, and praying for a good nights sleep for a change you.
