I just found out that there is a type of grapes
imported from South America called Thomcat Grapes.

Is there anything out there that shares your name?

2. That's much more useful and luxurious than
one more type of seedless grapes. :)

48. Donnie is correct!
Actually, I'm surprised that you spelled it that way, its how I spell it, but EVERYBODY else I know always spells it "Donny", which I think looks wrong. By the way, your name is cool reminds me of "Little John".

Also, I have to ask, are you Irish?

55. I'm a mutt - some Irish, mostly Scottish, some German, French, English, and Spanish
and who knows what else.... The only thing my family has in common is we all hate* each other and most of us are drunks.

Why do you ask? :)



* "hate" is too strong. More honestly we just can't stand to be around each other for long, although we all love each other and will stick up for each other.

58. LOL, that ALMOST describes my family as well...
We're mutts too, mostly, both sides are mostly Irish/Scottish, with a dash of German and possibly Swedish, but not sure about that. My family can stand each other, in small doses, and, unfortunately, most of my family ISN'T composed of drunks, mostly for medical reasons. Though my Sister's wedding reception two weeks ago was pretty wild. :)

I asked if you were Irish because Don is usually the shortened version of Donald, which is Irish Gaelic for "Ruler of the World". Isn't that a cool name, or what?

60. hell yeah. My "Don" is not shortened but is still from that side of the family
I sometimes tell people it's not my name, it's my honorific title. :)

it's also a psychedelic.

The grapes that I share a name with are both sweet and tart, which fits me. I certainly hope I'm not seedless, though. I hope to have a child or two someday.
