i wish it was quick, it's been going on for about a month, but yesterday all was resolved. i'm definitely going to hit my parents up for some help, hopefully, they'll help out a little. as for the apartment, i'm going to stay at home for the time being, 'tis far less expensive than getting a place with my sister!

Good move.
Remember, this will be the trip of a lifetime! That's your objective anyway, so some help is better than no help

Worrying about the monthly rent and bills is such a drag

Hey, where did you come up with that name? It's cool(I think I'm pronouncing it correctly :P )!

**crionnacht** · 05-10-2003, 11:56 AM

crionnacht (cree-nocked) is irish gaelic for wisdom.

**travelpunk** · 05-12-2003, 04:48 PM

Thats cool. I like it!

I was pronouncing it CRY-ON-ACT (all together). You should put Ireland on your list of countries to travel, if you haven't already. I have never been, but it's on my "A-list"of countries to hit-up

oh, man. it's on my original places to go. i'm half-irish, so i am definitely wanting to find my roots. my only connection was my biological grand-da, who died 2 months ago, who i never met! my great grandparents happen to have 2 of the most common names in Rep. of Ireland: Patrick and Lillian Moore! They're my only piece of info to my past, so wish me luck! lol

Man, I hear nothing but rave reviews from backpackers that have been there. I'm all about Ireland, when I git s'mo ciz-na$h B) !

Hey Crion, and anyone else who's interested in doing some family tree investigation, here's a site that you can past some time searching for your roots- http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/fra...eset_search.asp

It's from the church of Mormon(not a member

). They're know to have the most extensive genealogy databases in the world.

crionnacht.

Yes Dio, please enlighten us about Ireland! I know there has to be more to this beautiful country than U2, The Cranberries, Riverdance, and the spokesman for Lucky Charms
