Magnesium Citrate. I take 2 before bed and never had a problem going.

And drink plenty of water through the day.

My old cell died in October. Then my oldest son bought a new cell and gave me his old one. I was just about to buy a SIM card for it when he asked for it back for a few days after his newfangled fancy schmancy cell died. That was over a month ago.

I hate phone calls.
I could talk the back legs of a donkey face to face but I don't call for chitchat so when people call me I usually end up cleaning the kitchen, watering the plants, doing the laundry etc. If I have nothing as such to do I walk mindlessly in circles :P Or doodle...

Everything! 5 slices of white bread a day was never going to end well. Along with a load of crisps and 2 dinners a day.

My own fault, obviously! Can't blame it on anything other than gluttony

In Chicago a couple of years back, went out for dinner and Mrs Eisenberg asked for Chicken with chips, and guess what they brought? yep,

She should have asked for fries.

By the way and for some reason I always thought you were female.

The funny thing was the "server" never even batted an eyelash at the order, and when we explained what we wanted, she laughed and said" Oh, I forgot you English call them chips"

Screw her and her "Freedom Fries"

Why does everyone think I am a broad?:D

I work in the design industry and the phrase "The Client Is Always Right" is the biggest load of shit EVER!

First week in engineering we learned that if you're ever designing products, don't do what customers say they want because they haven't a clue. I've taken that advice quite seriously ever since.

Annoying things:

People who get a green light and then take off like it's a drag race.

When you're in a class/lecture/exam and you've got your hand up for 5 minutes and you can swear the relevant authority figure has you in their field of vision but they think that if they look just slightly to the left it's an excuse to completely ignore you.

People who won't shut up in study areas.

Getting fitted for a bra. I hate that. It's so weird being in a confined space with another womans hands near my cleavage. My husband might enjoy watching that though:D On the plus side, I needed a smaller bra this time and with the leftover credit on the gift card from Christmas I got a 60 euro bra for 2 euro in Brown Thomas today:)

Think that's bad? I've said it before in the previous trivial thread, and it still happens. People coming up to me thinking I work there. It happens in Dunnes, Tesco, and the other night I'm standing in SPAR waiting for the young lad to get a carton of milk, when a woman came up to me - "I'm looking for your Easter eggs?".

Now I had an eye-patch on, sunglasses on to protect the one good eye, my earphones in, and a crutch in one hand... and this woman is coming up to me thinking I actually work there! I had to take off the sunglasses and pop the earphones to check I'd picked her up properly - "Excuse me?", "Easter eggs!"...

"They're right behind you there". I figured I could help her out since I knew where they were, instead of escorting her over to one of the many staff members identified by the big SPAR logos on their uniforms!

Guilty as charged (although one or two photos so you can look and say "ah cute, happy for them, must start thinking about doing that before I dry up" is fine - I draw the line at the following: baby yoga, placenta smoothies, baby sign language, militant "dont you dare criticise me for breastfeeding" posts, pictures of bumps and ultrasounds and gushing posts from Grannies who ought to know better given they too have lived the novelty of procreation who shout about the child being "amazing, the best in the world" etc - yeah yours and everybody else's it seems... I'm all for competitiveness but how can one ever truly say their child is the best when nobody is willing to concede that theirs might be thoroughly average??

What on earth?!

Water is clear.

There is a shade of green called sea green it is irrelevant anyway. The colour on the site was green, i cant match it exactly but this is close:

Water is blue. Very, very pale blue.

Guilty. Inherited trait. Poor mother gets driven demented if either my dad or I have to take a phonecall. He rearranges the furniture when on the phone, I climb on things in a sort of loop. Onto the fireplace-> off the fireplace-> onto the chair -> onto the couch -> onto the other couch -> onto the ottoman -> onto the windowsill -> onto the fireplace and so on until the call is over.

When my internet goes down and I get a feeling of panic like a junkie who doesn't know when they are going to get their next fix. On the one hand I know it's not the end of the world but on the other, I feel like it is the end of the world :eek:

When the internet does come back, it's the best feeling ever lol.

Makes me think I have an addiction. Anyone know if IA (Internet Anonymous) is a real thing? :P

Whenever I'm on my way through a hospital in Galway or Limerick to an outpatient appointment people mistake me for a doctor for some reason, no idea why Maybe I just have the appearance of a stuck up domineering bitch consultant. I'm really nice, honest.

Went in to get myself measured once, she measured me and told me the size I thought I was. Went out and picked up a few different 36dd's and do you think any of them fitted me??? Had to try all different sixes in all of them in the end.

Maybe you just look really, really intelligent. Not everyone has the brains for medical school.

Has to be a rhetorical question, There is no way anyone can be so idiotic to expect an honest answer.
