Got my teeth deep cleaned yesterday under local anaesthetic. Got through it like a trooper though

I don't know what is a bigger TA since though:

a) My teeth are really sensitive even to a small sip of water.

b) My hygiene routine now includes three extra procedures to do every night on top of regular brushing, about ten minutes in all (dentist even said to try to do the extra procedures during lunch at work at work- ain't nobody has time for that).

c) I am due at least one more cleaning in a few weeks time- they cost €200-odd a pop. Not to mention an hour's journey up to Dublin (and my next appointment finishes just when the rush-hour begins, with a numb face on me to boot)

The periodontist couldn't have been nicer, but I still hate her profession.

I'd love to personally install a filter in these people. Can you guess where I would shove it

People who claim to not have a filter aren't even remotely like those of us who do actually have a faulty filter. We tend not to advertise the fact because it's usually embarrasingly self -evidently. I'm perfectly capable of keeping my opinions to myself but how I express them can be a problem that I don't think I'll ever fully master. The poster who said that it's not always negative things that can be expressed clumsily is right.Oh, that heart sinking moment when you tell a platonic male friend that he's a great guy and he's become very special to you and you see the look of terror sweep across his face because he thinks you mean something more than your words.

TA rude people who don't actually understand what not having a filter means but boast about it and double TA to all you boring Nuero typical people who don't seem to understand that some of us just mean what we say and say what we mean. Why can't you just stop with the nuance!? WHY?

When having a neutral accent is mistaken for an English accent, and something to be erased. An English accent is something I would have no issue with as long as it's not a squawking Essex accent.
Tbh I've come to the conclusion I'd much rather English than muck savage, English - hating bigots.

We sleep in separate rooms at the moment. OH is a chronic, loud snorer and is up and out for work at 05:30. I'm pregnant, working full time and studying so need my sleep. It just wouldn't work if we slept in the same room right now. It seems odd but it works for us. I'd rather that than be like my parents - going to bed together then having a fight literally every morning at 3am which culminates in my dad having to leave and go into the spare room anyway.

I dont think it is odd. There are plenty of sound reasons like yours that aren't a reflection on the affection between the couple.

I slept alone for 5 years when at home and one of the things that made me refuse to live with my past boyfriend was the dread of losing that space. On top of that, I go through stages of stress which means I might talk in my sleep, toss and turn and splay all over the bed. I'd have to be self consciously minding my behaviour in bed if we shared it every single night.

When you share a bed with someone for a long time the bed feels very empty without them, even if they do snore and hog the sheets and treat you like a hot water bottle.

We did share one before our circumstances changed, and I would be lying if I said I don't miss him But I also know his life would be in danger if he woke me at 2am snoring :pac:

Widdershins

Depends on the bedmate, Milicently I didn't miss the one I had in those 5 years and I never feel sad on the many nights Im away from my fiance. Although sometimes just before getting in I do miss him.

I've managed to muttering oh for foooks sake and kicking him in the leg for decades when he snores. The I remind myself that I'm no saint and he puts him with far more from me than I have to with him. It all balances out, whatever works for the couple is all that matters not what anyone else thinks you should be doing.

It's the start of Lent, I'm in no way religious but the Irish Independent have a story about fasting and Lent and are using a photo of a Muslim woman in a hijab to sideline it to Ramadan. Firstly, Lent is an optional thing that most Christians don't do any more and secondly Ramadan is not optional Muslims have no choice in doing it.

You might want to double-check your sources.

I was using the self service checkouts in a large supermarket and a chap wandered up with a trolley full of stuff

It’s not as he was saving time, there were plenty of normal checkouts open with hardly any queues. In fact it would be slower to do it self service

The shop assistant in charge of self service directed him over to the proper checkouts and he gave out hell over it. Fair play to the staff member, self service is not for full trolleys and she stood her ground

He got thick over it, stormed out and left the trolley. Now another staff member will have to restock everything

TA’d at the entitlement as if he is better than us all. I hope they bar him

Unfortunately that doesn't work for us as it becomes an endless cycle of me waking him to say he is snoring, him apologising and then doing it again a few minutes later..not how I want to spend my night!

In my local supermarket, there is a clear sign saying that the self service is basket only, no trolleys. They narrowed the entrance to the self service queue with the placement of the sign.

Some people still insist on blundering through. :rolleyes:

I've brought a trolley through self service. I would only have a few items though. Carrying a basket around can be a pain in the hole, especially when it gets heavy.

Supermarket shopping in general is my annoyance though.

TA the online advice for supporting grieving people is very limited and basic. In general, awareness campaigns are almost vapid.

Edit. The online advice was a good starting point to build on. Could be more detailed.

Wtf ?

Foodstuffs that proudly say ''Resealable'' They never are.

I bought a packet of smoked cheese slices in Dunnes yesterday that said the pack was resealable, it tore in 2 places while I was opening it. What's the point in lying about it?

You might be better looking for smaller more local groups than general online information. I hope you find something that helps.

The Rubberbandits.

They've become full of shíte and self importance. Everything they initially rallied against.
There's a video gone viral on Twitter of an Aircoach stopped on the side of the road on it's Cork to Dublin journey.
The Driver apologised but said there's a horse in the field that the owners been neglecting so he stops to feed him.
Nice story.

They've jumped on the back it saying it's brilliantly "anti-colonialism" by the Irish.

WT actual fúck does that mean?

Back to foodstuff, That CRAPPY plastic they pack pasta etc in. No matter how careful you are it always rips arseways:mad:

People who fall asleep in the cinema and start snoring!

There's horses starving in fields all over Ireland, usually dumped by the people who celebrated their 'ethnicity Day' yesterday. Rescues can't keep up with it because there are so many horses, well done to that driver for helping. Won't here the pair of tw!ts calling out the ethnic minority on the abuse though.

The term 'their truth', there's only THE truth and fiction.

I’m seeing this a lot lately. Owners who have picked up their dog dirt and put it in a poo bag, and instead of waiting for the nearest bin, they tie the bag around a tree branch. What is the actual point of that? Utterly disgusting. The poo would be better off on the ground

Did those English rotters dump the horse there in between occupying and general all round Black and Tanning?
Do Aircoach drivers have bales of hay with them for such eventualities?
Bit ironic that Aircoach is a subsidiary of a UK transport group..

I do this where there is no bin provided, and I collect it on the way back and dispose of it when I find a bin or use the bin at home. I'm not going to carry a bag of sh*t with me for a 4 mile round trip. If they can put the effort and resources into erecting signs detailing fines etc. then they can provide a feckin bin too.

Oi, no-one forces a dog on you, or forces you to walk it in public, or forces you to let it shite on public ground, or forces you to walk a 4 mile round trip, provide your own solution. Temporary litter is still litter.

It would be better off left unbagged as long as its not on a path. Least it will biodegrade into grass, mud.

I do agree with the poster above that more bins should be provided but then I've seen so many public bins full of (and surrounded by) household waste. It must get irritating for the council to constantly clean up after wasters.

There's my TA, people who dump their household waste on the ground around public bins.

Where I was walking, there was a bin about two minutes further up. And this bag had been hanging for quite some time. There was a swarm of flies around it. I would absolutely carry it with me until I found a bin.

I agree but at least the rain would eventually wash it away or it would biodegrade into the grass, hanging on a tree in a bag is absolutely disgusting.

I always find “comfort” in carrying the little bag around with me when I’m in the park at dusk or on a dark winter’s night.

I feel it adds a level of “protection” against any, potential, muggers.

Carrying a knife is illegal and “fisted” keys always strikes me as a way of injuring yourself more. No, give me a little bag of dog poop and I feel much safer.

So sad, I will never understand this. One of the joys of having a dog is getting them out and about and allowing them to be proper dogs and express natural behaviour. There's also the benefit that you have to get out and about whatever the weather or schedule, rather than being stuck to the sofa. Though of late when it's minus ar*e freezing outside, I do question this one
