Movies

I like all kinds of movies.


Adore old black and white movies. Bette Davis, Cary Grant, that type of thing.
I also enjoy modern dramas, love stories, comedies, mysteries and action flicks.
OK, I admit it, I even like a good musical.


I just like movies! But please - NO horror or scary stuff for me. Makes me have bad dreams & I like to try to be happy.

My name is Sheila. My husband, Ralph and I have been married 30+ yrs. I am a Mema with 3 wonderful grandchildren. Ralph and I have one adult son who is our pride and joy. I was blessed with loving parents and 2 little sisters. I miss spending time with my sisters so much.



I am a Christian. I have been blessed by the Grace of God. I fully believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord & Savior. I have known God since childhood thanks to a wonderful Christian Grandmother.



We have a wonderful miniature daschund dog! Her name is Daisy. She is a piebald, double dapple with blue eyes. Daisy is deaf (due to irresponsible breeding), but has learned some commands via sign language. She is a sweetie. Daisy is my Gal Pal! A true friend.



I am medically retired. I have severe Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis and Fibromyalgia.
Right now, most of the Psoriasis and Psoritatic Arthritis is being controlled with medications.
Sure miss working. Now my social outlet is via online. I've met some really nice folks out there. Meeting new people from different places is fun! I welcome people from all walks of life.



I choose to see the glass half full with the hope & belief it will soon be overflowing!



I absolutely love PSP (Paint Shop Pro). It is almost an obsession sometimes. But a lot of good fun. I really enjoy designing graphics and making name siggies. I have used several names when designing graphics. They are: "Morning Faith Greetings", "Doxie Daisy", "Tags by Sheila D" and "Casual Cat". I belong to several PSP groups. A favorite pastime is making name "siggies" for others.

Cats hold a special place in my heart. Tonkinese and Siamese cats are my favorites. Hence my PSP tagging name of "Casual Cat. It used to be my user ID everywhere but sadly oodles of other folks starting using the same ID over the years. Most PSP taggers know me by Casual Cat.

St. Patrick's Day


Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Here is a little History for you.


St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is one of Christianity's most widely known figures. But for all his celebrity, his life remains somewhat of a mystery.


Taken Prisoner By Irish Raiders. It is known that St. Patrick was born in Britain to wealthy parents near the end of the fourth century. He is believed to have died on March 17, around 460 A.D.  At the age of sixteen, Patrick was taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders who were attacking his family's estate. They transported him to Ireland where he spent six years in captivity. During this time, he worked as a shepherd, outdoors and away from people. Lonely and afraid, he turned to his religion for solace, becoming a devout Christian. (It is also believed that Patrick first began to dream of converting the Irish people to Christianity during his captivity.) After more than six years as a prisoner, Patrick escaped. According to his writing, God's-spoke to him in a dream, telling him it was time to leave Ireland.

To do so, Patrick walked nearly 200 miles from County Mayo, where it is believed he was held, to the Irish coast. After escaping to Britain, Patrick reported that he experienced a second revelation-an angel in a dream tells him to return to Ireland as a missionary. Soon after, Patrick began religious training, a course of study that lasted more than fifteen years. After his ordination as a priest, he was sent to Ireland with a dual mission-to minister to Christians already living in Ireland and to begin to convert the Irish. Familiar with the Irish language and culture, Patrick like many before him including Christ, chose to incorporate traditional ritual into his lessons of Christianity. Rather than of attempting to eradicate native Irish beliefs he would give them new meaning. For instance, he used bonfires to celebrate Easter since the Irish were used to honoring their gods with fire. He also superimposed a sun, a powerful Irish symbol, onto the Christian cross to create what is now called a Celtic cross, so that veneration of the symbol would seem more natural to the Irish. Although there were a small number of Christians on the island when Patrick arrived, most Irish practiced a nature-based pagan religion. So for the most part St. Patrick did indeed Christianize Ireland.


Did St. Patrick remove the snakes from Ireland. Well some contend there were never were any physical snakes there to begin with. But in a symbolic way he did indeed remove the snakes from Ireland in the hearts of the Irish people. The "banishing of the snakes" was really a metaphor for the eradication of pagan ideology from Ireland and the triumph of Christianity. Within 200 years of Patrick's arrival, Ireland was completely Christianized.


The first St. Patrick's Day parades were in not in Ireland but in NYC staring March 17, 1762.
