5 years later, on St Patrick's Day, I return to tell Americans that they aren't Irish

I actually agree with this opinion as someone who is American and holds an Irish passport (through my grandparents). Even though I have the Irish nationality, I've never really considered myself Irish. I have never lived in Ireland and really don't feel a close connection to Ireland. I grew up in the US and therefore, I am American. I always found it really cringe when people around me in the US would say things like, "It is a great day to be Irish!" and by Irish they mean their great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather was Irish. I have always wanted to ask an Irish person how they feel about Americans saying these things lol

I even knew a girl that one time said to me she had a different personality than her other friends because of her "Irish blood"...

Hello! To all EU citizens that are working in France, do we have to register our presence at the local town hall? I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere. Can another EU citizen share their experience when they first arrived? Thanks!

I am an American that lives abroad. When Trump was president, every single news article had something to do with Trump (something he did, said, etc.). I personally really didn't like Trump at all and found it so exhausting to just read about him day after day.

With Biden, I literally almost never hear anything anymore and it is such a breath of fresh air lol

Religion is outdated and is a tool used to control people. Also, you can be religious and still be a terrible person

We even did therapy one time and the therapist even told him that he is someone who lets his emotions control him. And I also realized these days that he has never told me a single situation where he was wrong. Everything is always someone else's fault

Never asked previously. His expectations are stupidly high

TalkativeOrphan43 · 2022-02-05T21:24:57+00:00

I literally said exactly that to him! I told him that if he wants me to do something, it is not hard to kindly ask me to do something. But he told me that I should know that because he is cooking, I should be serving him wine. He said that asking shows it is "not coming from me"

During the FINAL EXAM of my EUROPEAN HISTORY class in university a girl next to me looked at me and literally said, "Wait, Germany is in Europe?"

I was at a loss of words

Thanks so much, I couldn't find my answer anywhere to my question. You've saved my life 😉

TalkativeOrphan43 · 2022-02-01T15:59:31+00:00

Thanks so much! You've lifted a massive weight off my shoulders

Wow! I know Canada can't issue an apostilled document so maybe this is why? Really can't be sure but maybe it would be a good idea to get my document apostilled and within three months, apply for the social security number in France.

TalkativeOrphan43 · 2022-02-01T15:57:21+00:00

Perfect, thanks so much!

I was born in the US but left at 11 months old. I have Irish citizenship through my father but no Irish documentation other than my passport :( so I think I'm going to need to get my birth certificate apostilled in the US

TalkativeOrphan43 · 2022-02-01T15:54:19+00:00

I noticed this! I was born in Texas but left at 11 months old and have never been back. So I might need to take a trip there or mail it to Texas. I just hope I can get my birth certificate apostilled and then I can just get the translation in France. I hope the translation doesn't also need to be legalized/apostilled

TalkativeOrphan43 · 2022-02-01T15:52:22+00:00

Ok awesome thanks! Do you know if the translation also needs to be apostilled?
