Generally speaking, perhaps everyone needs a chill pill. Sometimes, people aren't looking for attention or sympathy. They turn to the internet because they don't have anyone else to turn to, and perhaps being kind is way more important than being right.

It's that Nordic stare that makes it seem like what I said was too preposterous to bother with a facepalm...

Many people don't realize that we Icelandic beauties have a significant amount of Irish blood.

I agree. Instead of apologizing for our behavior, let's start acting in ways in don't need apologies

Umm because of Viking settlements in Ireland and Viking ....ventures in Ireland? This is as polite as I know how to be!

Let's just say that many of our Irish grandmothers didn't emigrate to Iceland by choice.

Please don't leave us!  If you go, and the site were to go, I'd have to migrate to the LDS Freedom Forum (shudder)...

Doesn't this site pay for pam's sewing addiction or something to that effect?

If so, Pam has earned every stitch! How does she do it? Sometimes we behave like a room full of 3 year olds and I am being generous!

And despite us and her generosity... she can't leave. We can act like children all we want!

Why do you think think that in addition to working a full time job I also work part time for Hobby Lobby?  I get an employee discount to purchase fabric for my "sewing addiction."  Good thing my quilt business actually pays for that addiction. :)   And yes.  I work a full time job, a part time job and own a business. :)  I'm just trying to get 5 years in at HobLob so I can get that $300 gift card to Hobby Lobby that they hand out.  Think of the fabric I could buy. :P  I have less than a year now till I make that.

and a significant amount of every other kind of western European blood I'd guess.  I tell ya, Iceland is not called Iceland for the amount of ice on the ground but for the amount of ice in their blood.  Whoops.

We'll need to talk to Heather about that.  She should go buy your fabrics at least or brand new gumdrops.  Just say the word and we'll make some protest signs, form a picket line, and come up with a cool chant.

As someone who is now dabbling in sewing and quilting, I support you!

My kids tell me I am a fabric hoarder.  I tell them that I am NOT a fabric hoarder.  I am a fabric collector. There is a difference.

I don't know this, but I would guess that Irish women were more particularly targeted, specifically those on the west coast of Ireland. Proximity and all that, you know.

Yes, yes, of course.  My husband watches this show called Vikings on TV and yeah... they stomped all over Norway and the British Isles gathering property and slaves and what-not before eventually settling in Iceland.

We're going to see Pam on one of those shows...
