Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Happy Saint Paddy’s Hon!

Baltimore has a large populous of Irish and wanna-be Irish.

Throughout March there are many “Irish” events planned some that happened this past weekend.

On Saturday there was the annual St Patrick’s Day Shamrock 5K Race followed by the Parade.

Next Saturday, there is the annual O’Malley’s March. Governor Martin O’Malley leads his Irish band in concert at the Recher Theatre (512 York Rd.) in Towson starting @ 8 pm. Note: Tickets are $20

Below I have provided a brief list of some of the local Irish Pubs/Restaurants:
Have fun, enjoy but stay safe!

Claddagh Pub in O’Donnell Square [Canton]

James Joyce Irish Pub and Restaurant [Inner Harbor]

Life of Reilly Irish Pub [Butcher's Hill]

Tir Na Nog Irish Bar & Grill [Inner Harbor]

Slainte Pub [Fells Point]

Mick O’Shea’s [Mount Vernon]

Patrick’s Pub [West Side]

Maggie Moore’s Irish Pub and Restaurant [Downtown]

Ryan’s Daughter [Belvedere Square]

Oh, by the way, I am truly of Irish decent.

Facebook disabled my account

On Wednesday, March 10th I received notification that my Facebook account was disabled. There was no reason given. No explanations, no email, nothing.

Rather unsocial for a social network!?

I’m still trying to find out why – All I can figure is that I was adding friends too quickly? Maybe it was my having too many friends, being too active, running so many Fan Pages and groups? Not certain still awaiting word – and hopefully be reactivated?

I’m taking it in stride, however it seems some of my “friends” are panicking:

“I miss your daily listing updates!” one emailed me.

“Where are you birthday greetings?” wrote another.

“Just open up another account?” another advised.

I suppose I could do that. Just use a different e-mail address, (everyone knows I have thousands at my disposal!) Then I could reconnect with friends, family, classmates, clients and business associates, but with over 3000 already set up – that would take time – therefore I’ll just be patient and await word.

It is rather sad though – on Wednesday it was my Father’s 66th B-day and I was trying to get some of the relatives to contact him – those that I don’t have email or phone # for. Facebook is a great way to keep up those communications as well. Also, my wife, Carolyn, finally set up an account – but I lost mine

Rather Ironic…

I sent Facebook an email (disabled@facebook.com & appeals@facebook.com) – but I realize that I am only one of 30 million plus visitors they must have, additionally Facebook certainly has its hands full, with the phishing scams and accounts being hacked, etc.

Some who’ve been through the same experience were still waiting for Facebook’s reply weeks after they made original contact.

As I’ve repeatedly pointed out, networking is a must for everyone and social media sources like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others make this possible.

After what happened with my Facebook account, I still think that FaceBook is an incredible useful tool. If they could fix the glitches on their scripts and system, they would be so much better. I’m hopeful that they will restore my Facebook account after reviewing my account. But right now, all I can do is wait for their reply and hope for the best. So it may be a while before I am back – Oh well, if they don’t get to me immediately it is understood…
