Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Fried potatoes & bacon layered in a casserole dish, sprinkled with grated cheese, then covered with beaten eggs, milk & a spoonful of dijon mustard and baked til it goes nice and puffy.
It's a taste sensation.
Here's some I made earlier (literally)...
mmmmmmm, that looks very tasty!
Deciding whether to watch the U17 girls soccer finals, European athletics or Aussie Rule

So, I'm still terrified of public toilets...
There's a couple of places around town I'll go to where I feel safe enough, but they're few and far between. This is actually kinda getting bad to the point where I was out for a few drinks the other week, needed to use the toilet, but held it for over 2 hours until I went home. Sometimes when I'll be out, I'll ask my girlfriend to come with me if I need to go, but she gets kinda pissed off at that and tells me I just have to learn to get on with it. I wish I could be as confident as her, but I just can't do it, so sometimes holding it feels like my only option. I know that rationally there probably isn't gonna be a problem, recent times I've gone to the ladies room, other women have just smiled at me, but I'm still very afraid. I was hoping that once I get a new passport and that I'll have ID to back me up, this won't be such a problem, but now I'm not so sure that having ID is gonna make the fear and panic go away and that it'll still be something I'm going to struggle with for a long time. What's even worse is that I'm on medication that makes me need to use the toilet more often.
*sigh*

I hope you don't mind me saying, but I don't think you need to be too worried about running into trouble when using the ladies' restrooms. From the pictures you've posted up here, you look very feminine
Definitely more so than I do, and I don't worry about bringing my passport to the toilet to prove I'm female (though perhaps I should )
If you act like you've a reason to be there, no one will doubt you!0 -

Having seen your pictures in KYL, I'm fairly sure you don't have to worry about anyone thinking you're anything other than a woman. Hell, you're more feminine looking than I am! So, if it's the fear of having someone question you about whether you're a woman, I don't think you don't have to fear that.
It would never have occurred to me that anyone would ever have to worry about having to bring ID to the toilets with them. That makes me sad.0 -

I know that I shouldn't be worried, but I still can't get over being so afraid. and it's not really all in my head though, because people I know have had issues in toilets in Ireland before, some lesbian women I know have had other women scream at them because they look boyish, and I know one woman who was shoved out of the toilets at one point. it's worse then if you're transgender, 'cos what if you run into someone who really has something against trans people? I'd just die if someone tried to kick up a ****storm like this over me: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6094782.stm
I know I shouldn't be so afraid, but public bathrooms still look like this to me:
sorry for the moan 0 -

That's the thing though - I don't think anyone would be able to tell you're trans unless you went around with a sign on your forehead. I don't think I've ever noticed a trans person in a women's bathroom, and I must have run into at least 1 in my lifetime.
I'm sorry to hear your friends have had trouble though. That's really disgusting. I weep for humanity at times, I really do 0 -
Note to self : Do not Facebook stalk. It never ends well.
But but but....that's the whole point of facebookive never seen anybody yell at anybody in a bathroom
go in and yell right back
nobody is going to beat you up...
yer wan is a former showgirl anyway what would she know
Oh I've yelled at people in the bathroom. But only because I'm bursting to go and they skip the que 0 -
What did you find? Stalking sucks But is somehow unavoidable.
Oh ya know, I was doing a bit of peeking at the ex! :pac: I know, I know! And he'd just re-added a girl who was really mean to me when we were together. It sounds totally pathetic and I'm not upset or anything like that. I dunno, I guess I'm disappointed or something.
Next time I look at his page, I give everybody permission to slap me.0 -

No I can get that. If my OH was to let people back in if we break up it would be a major stab in the stomach.

Don't have a sign on my forehead, but I still seem to get called "sir" the odd time, so it's enough to make me think that I don't really look quite that feminine.
I'll stop being all moany though, here's something funny instead:

I think sharing an apartment is bad enough, never mind a room. That said, I really like my own space! Just can't afford it
Have been living on my own for nearly a year at this stage. Would never share again with anyone I wasn't in a relationship with. Love having my own space, and never feeling like I'm treading on anyone's toes. 0 -
even if you didn't want to bring someone home you couldnt am do anything...
Or you could stare them in the eye as you take care of business :pac:. You'd have loads of privacy in future!totally need me space in general to chill and read or whatever would kill me to share
Thing is the rooms on campus are quite small for sharing - they barely fit 2 beds, 2 desks and 2 tiny bedside lockers. It'd drive me nuts. The upside is that the security on campus is really good.
I'd still rather pay the little extra for a single room though.0 -

hilarious
"7-8pm daily need alone time"
6 people in an apartment sounds as bad even without the sharing rooms bit
i will never forget going to look at a houseshare in terenure adv as 2-3 people living there
there must have been 3 couples and about 4 other lads as well
no sitting room - converted into a bedroom
luckily i got there before the landlord, and the other people there told me about it
:rolleyes:
and some ridiculous "bills 120 a month each" nonsense
they must have been raking in a fortune0 -

Yeah, I lived on my own for a year and it was the best thing ever. Hopefully it will happen again someday!0 -
