We don’t do Thanksgiving here in Ireland, but I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all my friends in the United States, both ‘real’ and online, a lovely day and to give thanks for having all of you in my life.

I can remember one day whilst on holidays in Donegal as a child, passing a church. A coffin was wheeled out, and the only people following it, were the priest and the lady who looks after the church. No relatives, no friends. I was a teenager at the time, but I can remember being so … More Online friends will you look after me in my old age?
So I met the yank Beth from ‘I didn’t have my glasses on’ and I know you are all waiting with bated breath to see how it went? Was she a crazy stalker? Was she in fact a he, as my children suggested? Was she anything like I imagined? Sadly for those of you who … More I made it out alive!

Facebook friends were a joke to me, and I was judgemental of those who used online dating sites. Then I began … More “You have online friends. How sad are you!”
I have been writing a blog now for over one year. One year doesn’t seem like a very long time, but I have written almost every day. That is a lot of “my thoughts on a page”. Over the year I have seen a large number of bloggers disappear. It is frightening how many. Sometimes … More What keeps a blogger blogging?
This day last year “My thoughts on a page” was born. I remember so well that very first day when I wrote my first post. I thought the web was a huge place and I would be relatively anonymous.
