What do you mean by this? I want to make sure I'm reading it correctly before I respond. Are you saying no one has a similar story regarding what your grandmother went through?

He needs to take a look around.

Attn: Eric/BB/Disembowler: "DOOD...this is America. Stop showing your ignorance and acknowledge that everyone's got stories. Don't believe me? Get your ass off the couch and take a less-then-385-mile-round-trip to Ellis Island."

PS Let me know if you wanna hear my story of how my grandfather left Ireland with nothing but the clothes on his back after the Easter Uprising of 1916. Actually, dood, why don't you make a post asking to hear everyone's stories?

you left out the part where your great great........... grandparents hung out in the desert with moses and ate manna and stuff. hey wait. maybe it was a typo and they ate nanna and they were like the original donner party.

 

[dmc]

maybe he's just proud of his new found family history...

 

[Warp Daddy]

Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! Both sides : the Irish the Italian / me and the Polish and Austrian sides/ my wife all had this kind of beginning . In 2 cases the original immigrant was a single teenager

We are an immigrant nation that sure as hell isn't news .

Somebody thought so. He has a published book, after all.
