"Seems the only sure fire way to get a thread to last a long time is to say something about Ireland. Doesn't seem to matter what."

Well, since I've been a member of the Mudcat, I've killed at least one, and now possibly two threads by talking about Ireland. I don't know why, exactly, but in Ireland, I seem to have the knack for clearing a room. So maybe this post will kill the thread.

Best regards to everyone, Carol
