| 31st May 2006 Steve | Hope you had fun - From: "A house doesn't make a home..." Hi Roxy, I stumbled across your blog when I was looking for something else, but I'm from Cork city and would just like to say I'm glad you had a good time around here. You're welcome back any time. Nice photos...I've a bunch from a trip we took to Sherkin here if you wanna see (http://rennes.ucc.ie/~stephenf/photos/Sherkin_Island/index.html). You can ignore the daft ones! More random photos from me from around Cork here too (www.image-shop.com). you might spot some places you've been to. There's even a photo or 2 from Philly too! Slan Leat Steve |
| 26th March 2006 Diane Tessier | ;') - From: Annual Aunt and Niece Outting Hey the photos look great. Very talented... I have yet to see New York. I'll have a chance this November if finances are good. My family ie. mom, brother, sis-in-law, aunt, uncle & cousins on my moms side are all having Thanksgiving in Hershey PA. There has been some talk of seeing New York, but we'll see....It might be a bit pricing for Justin and I to fly to DC this year, and do the whole vacation thing. Who knows?? My brother and his wife are stationed in DC. He's a Lt at the Naval hospital there. |
| 21st March 2006 T. Wright | - From: Annual Aunt and Niece Outting Hey! I was wondering if you were still around. NY is a cool place, I've been up there a couple times. Sounds like you had a blast. Call me! I might be in your neck of the woods soon. |
| 21st March 2006 Nava | - From: Annual Aunt and Niece Outting These photographs are phenomonal! I especially like "Ellis Island". The black and white effect really suits your subject matter. |

| 30th June 2005 Daz in Oz | Animal Soup - From: Live and Let Live! Love the animal pics, Buffalo tastes really good and makes great Teepees. I thought all of the animals are green in Ireland, that's how they survived extinction from the Ice Age and Neolithic Man, by being camoflaged in the verdant Irish countryside. I have a Peacock living next to me and I wish he was like a mobile/wireless phone so could change his ringtone to a more gentle sound at daybreak! |
| 29th June 2005 Gene | wow - From: Live and Let Live! Beautiful pics! When you come back, can you teach me how to use my new Canon?!? |
| 13th June 2005 ranskye | test. - From: should i stay or should i go...? just seeing if they let me comment yet. |
| 11th June 2005 anonymous | Honestly, don't worry about it - From: WHAT TO DO you aren't missing to much by never going camping, in my opinion, anyhow--for me, camping sucks: I hate sleeping with nothing but a glorified tarp keeping me safe from evil bugs carrying the West Nile virus, starving bears and deers, and the hard rocky ground beneath me. Not to mention substandard showering/bathroom facilities. Maybe its different in Ireland, I don't know. What are you up to? I miss your blogs! Love ya, Jeanine - Jeanine |
| 10th May 2005 anonymous | - From: Day 3 - 30 April 2005 Saturday That could have been a red wine/white bed sheet disaster |
| 7th May 2005 anonymous | What up?!? - From: Cinco de Mayo Thanks for clearing that up, the whole, what is "Cinco de Mayo" thing--me and Lora were arguing about it, and both of us were wrong. Will tell you more later--I'm drinking and watching "Singles" right now. - Jeanine |
| 30th April 2005 anonymous | Oh YEAH - From: RIP NIKON camera obscura, baby! Do it. DO IT. - Jeanine |
| 29th April 2005 anonymous | I really like your "smell journal". . . - From: Ooh, ooh that smell...can't you smell that smell? I just re-read your entry for the 2nd time; it's so interesting how words can evoke a memory of such primal sense, how it can make you virtually hallucinate a feeling. . . .write more for your curious readers!!! - Jeanine |
| 29th April 2005 anonymous | But c'mon now, admit it - From: Ooh, ooh that smell...can't you smell that smell? don't you miss that first dark morning sunrise drag of smoke, the acrid smell of burning tobacco stinging your nostrils, speaking in touch of something so weary but so full of promise? Sike. God bless you; both me & Gene are trying to quit smoking right now, or at least he is. I hope you know that I am so inspired by your blog entries and pictures that I am planning to copy you by creating a web page on Gene's web site with our pics and my journal entries from our Midwest trip. . . keep up the good work, and please get a new Nikon; I was really starting to enjoy your pictures!!!!! - Jeanine |
| 25th April 2005 anonymous | - From: Ooh, ooh that smell...can't you smell that smell? haha, sounds good to me, a good desciption. reminds me of the smell of freshly cut hay on a dewy morning, some smells are just so good and hard to remember till you smell them again. - ranskye |
| 18th April 2005 anonymous | I love the pics - From: 2 months left in Ireland Hey the pics you took were so gorgeous. I wish I was in Ireland instead of doing a report on it for school. loved your pics, *Sarah M* - Sarah Mann |
| 17th April 2005 anonymous | Can't see any of your pics - From: 2 months left in Ireland on my roommate's computer because it's so overwhelmed with ironically HER pictures of Ireland and her family who lives in Dublin, but I'm anxiously awaiting the chance to do so. . . just wanted to say hi, though, in case you thought I wasn't reading your blogs because I wasn't responding--I am, I just was hoping I'd get the chance to see your pictures first! Things are going ok, though being unemployed is starting to get unnerving. Me & Gene are taking a road trip to pick up a painting in Michigan: we're stopping off to visit Pittsburgh, Detroit, Columbus and Milwaukee on the way--would love to send you a postcard, is there a place I can send you mail? Love & miss you! Jeanine - Jeanine |
| 14th April 2005 anonymous | GORGEOUS PICS - From: 2 months left in Ireland Hey your pics look great--you really should be a published writer/photographer! Start looking for your break!! - Leigh Anne (SISSY) |
| 3rd April 2005 anonymous | a small request. from you rather perverse & morbid friend. . . - From: peace i seriously love your pictures, but i'd love to see you take some of some of the people over there, especially some shady or freaky people . . that'd really be cool to see for me. - jeanine |
| 3rd April 2005 anonymous | Very pretty! - From: peace that's really great to hear. . . i myself am feeling much happier these days since I quit/asked to get fired from my job. . . I've come to the conclusion that the only job I'll ever love doing is one where I am writing or working with other people's writing. . . so I'm looking in that direction and meanwhile just sort of doing lots of little jobs to make money--so much happier than I was before!!! Hopefully, me & gene will be going on a trip somewhere soon after everything w/ his auction settles down. I have a tremendous urge to be in the desert right now, for some reason. . . take care, and keep in touch!! love ya, jeanine - jeanine |
| 20th March 2005 anonymous | Wow - From: Quickie Looks like a great place to run. . . I myself have to settle for the "cardio theater" at the 12th Street Gym. . . however, I do get the added bonus of working out with my buff gay brothers in the weight room--which is kind of nice, because all the guys there are so intense but so polite!!!! - jeanine |
| 5th March 2005 anonymous | Good move. . . - From: A Chairde (Dear Friends) I think I would shoot myself after living in a hostel for longer than 2 days, personally--and I grew up sharing a room w/ 3 other girls and a bathroom with 9 people:) But seriously. . . a friend of mine (who I'll let remain anonymous) was backpacking thru Europe & staying in hostels and ended up with BODY LICE. . . scary, right? - Jeanine |
| 5th March 2005 anonymous | HI ROXANNE - From: Kissin da Stone! Hey Roxanne, Looks like a lot of fun--I'm never sure if I like the feeling of vertigo or don't like it, so I'm not sure if I'd do it or not. . . on one hand, I like feeling like I'm going to fall, but on the other hand, that's exactly what I'm always having nightmares about. . . that's probably what partially makes the Blarney Stone experience such a psychic rush, now that I think about it. . . I really hope you are having a great and memorable time on your trip. Things here are ok for me--as usual, i have a love-hate relationship w/ my job and am dabbling with a wide variety of "self-improvement" projects, half of which will be abandoned next week. I'm at Gene's right now; we're just going to have pizza and wine and maybe watch a movie. Keep me updated visually and otherwise w/ what's going on with your life in Ireland!!! Love Jeanine - Jeanine |
| 26th February 2005 anonymous | I'm really digging your blog idea and may have to steal it. . . - From: a few shots from Dublin Very nice, Roxanne--this is a really good way to keep in touch w/ people and let them know what you are seeing and doing. Its very fun to get your blog updates via email, and I always check them. . . As narcissistic as it may seem, I'm thinking of copying your idea here & getting my sisters to start a community blog so we let people stay visually and verbally updated with us. How are things going? - Jeanine |
| 26th February 2005 e | Master's Degree - From: My stay in Vlagtwedde, Holland Hi Roxy, Too true about the MA. I have a Master's in philosophy which makes me unemployable for life, and beyond. Cheers, e. |
| 26th February 2005 anonymous | Master's Degree - From: My stay in Vlagtwedde, Holland Hi Roxy, Nice place! and I'm not being ironic. It's kind of romantic looking. Your comment about the master's degree caught my attention. I have a master's in philosophy, so that's me unemployable for life, and beyond. Cheers, e. - ethinker |
| 24th February 2005 anonymous | pictures look good - From: a few shots from Dublin I like the pictures. the cats are really cute-especially the one where their both asleep. - brian |
| 18th February 2005 anonymous | I added a comment what happened - From: LOOKING FOR A HOME ??? - Jeanine |
| 18th February 2005 anonymous | Damn you are in Cork, I thought it was the other way around. . . . - From: LOOKING FOR A HOME Sorry, thought I could have Ruth (my irish emigre roomate) help you out in Dublin, didn't realize you were in Dublin first (which is EXTREMELY expensive, esp. right now from what I hear) and Cork second; Will still check out stuff. How's the hostel? Philly is boring and exactly the way you left it, by the way. . . - jeanine |
