Alice - I am still no expert, but enjoy trying. BHB - I am indeed glad to be able to enjoy my food. Brighid - If the opportunity arises, have a blast!

Ever a country girl, & never quite fit in. Then in college I went to a bunch of old fashioned country dances and it was so much fun. I would do it again in a heart beat if the opportunity arises.

My fiancee and I would stay on the dance floor until the band played "Good Night, Ladies". Since we were the only couple left in the club by then I am sure the band hated us for keeping them playing so long. I was a wallflower in High School and didn’t do much dancing until I was engaged.

Nick - I have never been to rock concert and never had any desire to either. In one company where I worked, we had the use of a swimming pool on a Friday night for a pittance. We had great fun and I was often thrown in at the deep end.... HEAD FIRST! LOL! Then we all adjourned to our house for a few drinks, a good old discussion on the news of the day, a bowl of hot soup in wintertime and a a few games that involved balls of string, cutlery or the weeks supply of loo paper. Don't ask! Maynard - You are a gentleman! :D Ramana - Another gentleman, where were you all when I needed rescuing? WWW - The girl next door loved them too. She never married and went to those dances several nights a week until she was nearly 50. Jenniffer - For some it was great fun, but for me it was purgatory.

Redbarn in Youghal, Crosshaven, Arcadia, Highfield, Imperial, "The Rest" at UCC, etc. I couldn't get enough! I would dance all night and the talent was mighty! I loved the showbands, knew some of the lads, they'd play my favourites. Isn't it odd how experiences can be so different in the same country? XO WWW Oh GM, I just loved those dances!
