Your very welcome my dear Rapunzelflowerforyou Imagine my poor parents...My sister playing bagpipes and myself drums.Guess my parents were tone deaf...Lol... never got yelled at to turn it downbigsmile The neighbors that was a different story, but we never got visited by the police.... hey it`s all good.bigsmile



When my cousin got married, she had a piper playing at the Church.....my uncle dared me to go feel his knees and see if he was cold. The poor man jumped----he thought I was going to look under his kilt!!!devil


My sister`s best friend from the bagpipe band she played in, played the pipes at my sister`s wedding also...There is nothing like the sounds of bagpipes playing in a Catholic Church. Especially with the great acoustics of the church.None of us had kilts on though that daybigsmile

tonia25 i'm half sicilian and growing up i can relate to some of what you posted. I am not offended. I found it pretty funny.



"i get so sick of the old time sterotypical stigmas indifferent
placed on various cultures and nationalities
to lock people up in little boxes with little names huh
as if we all are the exact same replica of the othersick

and any way, whether you think it is funny or not, indifferent
it just isn't right to put down a culture in that way noway
it is very distasteful and quite rude sick

Hey Rapunzel this is the sicilian half of me speaking. Give it a rest will ya? It was posted to be funny by an Italian. We get your point, but what some find distasteful and rude others may not.

i don't care what half of you is talking...huh

don't tell me to give it a rest indifferent



this is all of me talking drinker

YOU JUST DON'T GET ITsick

be respectful...
and be mature smokin
treating people with decency
is more important
than spouting your lame classless jokes
about someone's heritage ...
i don't care what nationality you are

just because something was started as a joke
doesn't give it the green light to be spoken...
or make it appropriate to pass along...
it is okay to be serious and responsible

respect is something
that you are both missing big time
