We went to piza where I almost got in a fight with a curb side restaurant owner. At lunch they eat a heavy meal. Usually pasta, and it's too heavy during the day so I asked for a fork to share a plate and he said no! And said something about Americans. So being the woman I am I jumped up got in his face and said. " If it wasn't for America you would all be talking german". Needless to say I didn't eat there...lol

And now that I opened the can of worms why when someone asks our nationality do we say. Irish,French italian,Italian, or a combination? Those of us born here are Americans, our heritage are those combinations but our nationality is American. Let me put this soap box away.

The only flags I fly is the American flag or a POW MIA flags
Just my way of leaning
But funny flags about our F upped
We’ll just let it go at that
I’m American and proud of it

and one other thing. I'm not putting down others or there countries. Everyone should be proud to display there flags and be proud of there countries. And I hope everyone gets the point.

So you're an American from British descent. Nothing says you can't be proud of your parents and where they came from.

I’ve got a good anecdote for this. My family immigrated from Scotland…waaaaaaaay back! . 1781 to be exact. Scots are a proud people and of course our family was no different. The local church near our family farm did two services…one in English and the other in Gaelic until 1899. I can even remember my great aunt’s and uncles using Gaelic terms and slang growing up. My grandparents also. So, proud of our heritage no doubt.

I was in the service deployed in support of Bosnia and met a Scottish drinking buddy who worked for the DOD. We were drinking and telling lies, and I was yammering on about my Scottish heritage, when he stops me and asks, “what flag do you stand and salute, and sing the anthem for?” .

Well put my friend…

But Mrs Rj's parentage is Italy (dad) & German (mom) a lovely combination

Now I see where the restraints and getting tied to the bed come from.

Life has been hectic and crazy. Things got crazier and crazier as things spiraled out of control. The last two years were misery for those I love and loved most. There was nothing that could be done, and it was not anybody's fault.

I could have made better decisions. I look back with utter regret, sadness, and guilt. Life is cruel, and unfair.

My dad immigrated from Scotland (Perth)
He was proud to see me in my Full Kilt when I came of age to wear it and I still wear it occasionally in his honor
I've only been "home" twice since he passed and I sorely miss it

I used to work for an international publishing company and got to travel extensively as required by my job.
I was senior editor before I retired. Scotland & Italy were my favorites, but I have abnormal curiosity for Australia

Hun, look forward not back. Not one of us doesn't regret a decision. But moving forward we try. And that's all you or the rest of us can do.
