Wow! Just a touch of the Irish here… I’m loving it. I didn’t realize EzineArticles was such a hot spot of Irish Info. I’ll be reading through Ronan’s articles in the near future. That was awesome to find so much.

Thanks for sharing this (I know my name doesn’t sound Irish – but my maiden name is!)

Congratulations to Ronan Menton!

I am wearing green as I celebrate this fine day as one of your Expert Authors on this side of the ocean.

Bagley is an Irish name, I drink whiskey and have been a writer for 48 years.

I am only 15% Irish but it is the BEST 15% of me!

My wife of 35 years is 25% Irish from her mother’s side.

Top of the mornin’ to ya, Ronan!

Ronan,
Congratulations on being selected as Author of the day AND for being Irish!
My maiden name is McKown and proud of it! My father’s parents were immigrants from Ireland.
I was amazed at the amount of great information you shared on Irish beer and the interesting way in which you presented it.
Too much writing on the net is thinly disguised advertising. Your gift is that you actually informed your readers in a pleasant way. Thanks.

Hi Chris!

I was wondering about Saint Patrick today when a friend at Myspace sent us a message wishing everyone a happy S. Patrick’s day.

I wanted to learn something about this saint, but your definition didn’t help me understand anything. Why did he drive the snakes from Ireland? What does it mean?

I was hoping that someone that knew the story would tell me something about Saint Patrick! Nobody did.

Now that I finished what I had to do, I could learn by myself.

Fortunately, I didn’t need to walk many miles and go to the library in order to read something about him. (This is one of the main reasons why I love the Internet, besides many others.)

Saint Patrick suffered a lot as a slave without losing faith and later became a courageous missionary.
Wish everyone would have his blessing today!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to Everyone!
Kudos to Ronan!

To Christopher…and your EZ team, I want to say, “Thank You!” I received an EZ mousepad today!!!

Totally unexpected. A jaw-on-the-floor moment. I knew writers were receiving mugs and mousepads but ME? I didn’t expect anything!

Yet, here it is! I’m not going to use it. I’m framing it! For inspiration. To get more articles written. To get over this block I’ve been having lately. To reach down and deliver better articles than before.

That’s what I like about Chris and his team. You WANT to do better. This directory is like no other. It’s an honor to appear here. And I still throw my fist in the air and shout, “YES!” when accepted.

Thank you, Chris. For everything.
Cheers!

Karen,

Glad you liked it. :)

You were among the first Canadian members to receive them. The top ~200 Canadian members by live articles listed who had valid postal addresses were sent this small token appreciation present.

oh by the way there were any snakes in Ireland, unless you want to count the human kind disguised as British / English. Unfortunately they cannot be treated like real snakes are, oh well we cannot have everything we ask for, but to get rid of the British would be a blessing.

Tooraloo and have a magical week everyone.
