Title: Greetings from Hamburg
Post by: Sinead Mc Namara on November 17, 2014, 01:39:08 PM
Hi everyone

My name is Sinead (as you can see) LOL
I live in Hamburg in Germany but come from Ireland.
I was raised Catholic and at the moment I am in no mans land.  I still tend to a belief in a God but not the bad bible type more of the creator who doesn't stir the pot but I am open to all ideas.
My hubby is an atheist.  He was an Evangelist but never could quite believe it.
Anyway just wanted to say hi :-)

Welcome aboard Sinead Mc Namara! My wife's last name is McIntyre, but she is from the USA, and thinks the same as you and is Catholic. I worked in Ireland for 5 weeks and loved it there. For some reason when I told them my name was William they treated me like a rock star. It was weird when I got there because I felt like I was coming back home. I had a girl ask me if I wanted some caca (spelling?), I was taken aback because it's slang for poop here.  :eek: I was in Dublin, and hate Guinness, but Harps lager is great. Stay around, I'm not the only crazy one here. I was there during the mad cow disease and missed the Saint Patricks Day parade.  :eek: :pidu: Solitary

We have many "conversion" stories on here- mine included, I was once a Mormon Elder-and we love to learn about your journey and where you are on it. Mine is pretty long, as are some others. Don't be afraid to open up a bit- as you see we have hurting people on here who use the forum as a community to rant and get support. And we are glad to give it.

(edit) caca is Mexican/Hispanic for excrement.

I met some of the mormon elders while living in Ireland.  Lovely lads to be honest.  I had to admire their zest and passion and they were gentle and not trying to convert me.  I gave them lemonade and chocolate and they were delighted :-)

Oh yeah cake is ciste. 

Maybe she was trying to be kinky ;-)

Be sure to barbecue kittens, record the NFL without their permission and rip the tags off of your mattress.
