Going to Ireland tomorrow for an 8 day tour, any suggestions on folding knives I should be looking to pick up? Just taking a Case Carhartt single blade sowbelly, maybe to trade.

Appreciate your replies!

Wasn't able to find any knives to speak of in Ireland, we were on a pretty tight schedule with the tour group and I only made it into 2 antique stores. However, I did get engaged at Cabra Castle (just North of Dublin in Kingscourt) on Sunday.

She finally wore you down and you said yes?? Women are very tenacious.

Congratulation, I guess. Went down that road twice and after 44 years of being single, I've found that works best for me and everyone else. Linnea says, "He has his house, I have mine and that's what works for us". 29 years down the road, I think that once again she's right.

Thanks guys.

Jerry, this is my first go-around, at age 52, so I guess time will tell.

No way of knowing ahead of time. I wish you both the best of everything.

I assume you took your prospective wife with you and did not propose to a come-some Irish Colleen you happened to meet.

Happy for you redrider. Best thing that ever happened to me apart from the Lord saving me. The biblical definition of love is 'denying oneself for the good of another'. Practice that and your relationship will grow and last. God bless you two.

Thanks for all of the well-wishes!

Charlie, my betrothed and I have known each other since I was 2 years old, our fathers worked together at the railroad in Cumberland. We have an old black and white picture of us at her 3rd birthday party.

Congratulations to you on your engagement! My great uncle Rich never got married until he was 65 - they made it 30 years until he passed away. OH

Hmmm, sure you’re not rushing things?!

Seriously, all good things to you both and congrats! It must be wonderful to have all that shared memory. Here’s to adding many more years to it!

A year ago today we were getting ready to fly across the big pond, from Reagan National to Boston to Dublin. Glad we did it when we did and what an epic time we had there.

I have been looking at pictures all day, it was amazing. We started in Dublin with tours of St. Patrick's and the Guinness factory at St. James Gate, then on to Kilkenny and Waterford, kissed the Blarney Stone, toured an island monastery (Innisfallen) outside of Killarney, had the best Irish coffees at Red Fox Inn, then on to Limerick and ended at Cabra Castle at Kingscourt (where I proposed). Not pictured are The Cliffs of Mohr, visiting a sheep farm, touring Galway and so much more. I took over 500 pictures! It was truly an amazing experience.
