I met my Brazilian wife online and decided it was better to live in the warmth of the Brazilian sun than the cold of Ireland.

I'm a midwife, not common I confess for a man, but nevertheless that my job for the last 26 years. This year I delivered a baby, of a baby I delivered, which makes me 'old'!
My fave show on TV is Call the Midwife....Ive been an OB nurse for 20 years before going into Public School Nursing.... My husband is amazed that I diagnose every woman in the show correctly. He's like, how do you know all this? I said, it was my career....Last night, I called Pica and Huntington's Chorea in one episode.
Prayers for all in California and for those on the coast in the path of the twin storms. We are certainly living in interesting times. I feel sad when people leave the forum especially when they have been here a few years. Life is so very passing.
I hope when things get really rolling we will see a lot of old faces back again. But its wonderful seeing so many new faces.
Guy walks into a bar in New Orleans and says: I'll Have 2 Hurricanes and a Corona. Bartender replies, that'll be $20.20
Southern New England...100% Irish...been many times but not in the recent past. It pains me to read about the major changes which have taken place. I always dreamed of retiring in Ireland...current reality is far from it. Sick, lonely, scared, are words that describe daily life, far from anything I ever could have imagined! I enjoy reading each day but rarely post...many thanks to Padraig and so many of strong faith on the Forum. It is strong faith that gets me from one day to the next in our current situation. I pray everyone stays healthy & safe... Maybe all of us from the North East of the US could Zoom or meet someday soon!
Its good to hear from you Ella. It would be lovely if we could all meet! Praying for healthy and safe also! These are trying times!
