I did it! Diarmuid died when our youngest was 7. I thought I’d never cope alone with two teenage boys and a small girl. But that small girl just turned 18. I can’t believe I got them all to adulthood and they’re just amazing. 27, 25 and 18 now. 😊

Is the man behind this meth a scumbag? No. He’s Ualtar Bán - a meek family man living an ordinary life with a wife, son & baby on the way - a science teacher, recently diagnosed with cancer. Not wanting to leave his family penniless, he fell into the meth industry. Pray for him.

The Irish Famine was just a failed attempt at an anti-Atkins diet. When asked why she didn’t eat veg & meat a proud cailín said “us Irish don’t give up. I’d rather die for want of a spud than live with the flesh of an English pig in me gut”. And then she died. #HannanIrishHistory

@Acyn South Korea's population: 51.2 million US population: 331 million (6.5 times that of SK). South Korea deaths: 229. If the US handled the virus as well as South Korea you would have had 6.5 x 229 deaths = 1,488 deaths. So, 28,808 died needlessly because of Trump's inaction.
