    Bloody My Meteor website has been down for the past week or so, I've no credit at the moment and can't avail of the web text. :mad:

    My TA is attention seeking on social media, on forums, in real life, I just absolutely hate it so much.

    The gloves are another thing! Actually the guy that was working on assembling the wrap had such a sour puss on him that when he asked the girl beside him to fold the wrap because he couldn't, I didn't even bother asking her to change her gloves as there probably would have been a meltdown.

    They probably had a great bítching session after about how demanding vegetarians are. Guess what - we are only as demanding as your inconsideration forces us to be!

    And the sour puss and the huffing and puffing just ruins the whole experience of having someone else make your lunch. It's so bloody annoying!

    Idle chit chat in the office.

    Grand weather now.

    Yeah it's to be good all week.

    Hope it lasts til the weekend.

    Ah sure at least we'll be off anyway.

    Yea, wishing our lives away, we are.

    That's it.


    I've had more enlightening conversations with the automated recording in Irish Rail.

    I don't like complaining of boredom, I'm good at finding ways to fill time/be productive but I can't do anything I want to do, for medical reasons. I can't even drive because of my painkillers. I hate being inactive. Another three or four weeks of it, at the least.

    Lexie I'm with you on the psoriasis and psoriatric arthritis rant ... I'm riddled with both. My arm has been falling off me for the past several months, I've been mostly ignoring it and hoping it goes away, but I'm going to see the GP this week ... just don't want him to confirm what I already know, i.e. that there's feck all I can do. I'm 31. Arthritis. :( Not cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    Men who are very full of themselves. ''I think about running away with you sometimes..I know you sometimes think about it too'' um, no. The last time you crossed my mind was when I was wondering exactly how much weed it takes to make someone to come out with that much horses***e..

    I'm very mean lately, that TA's me as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,731 ✭✭✭Schwiiing


    Do you have it?!? Have you any tips on what makes it bearable?! (Not medical advice) I used to only ever have it on my scalp (11 years) but since dad died it's got so bad. It's on my ears and in my ear canal, belly button, behind my ears, neck, my eyes. Elbows, patches on my legs and hip. Now I'm not destroyed in it it's just patches I'd say not even noticeable to anyone else but now it's in my fingers and elbow and foot and it's a new thing. At least I've steroid stuff to out on the skin


    I have Psoriasis since I was 6. Body and scalp since I was 6 but my body scales disappeared around 12. I tried the whole Cocois and Coal tar routine but in the end it's just a money spinner imo.

    Psoriasis took over my toenails around 18 and is currently threatening my fingernails. I have 1 patch in my thumbnail for the last few years that recedes in summer time and grows in winter so I reckon sunlight has some effect on it.

    As for managing it, diet is key according to most sources. Eliminate red meat, dairy, bread and processed sugar and swap in lots of green vegatables.

    Pure sunlight can help but not sunbeds.

    As for over the counter stuff, Betnovate is all that ever did anything for me. I had a visible red line under my fringe all through my youth and it removed it completely.

    TA'd that I heard an ad for a new over the counter treatment on Radio 1 a few days ago but I was in company and didn't want to turn up the radio for fear of outing myself as a sufferer and all the gawking and awkward question that inevitably follow.

    Just another treatment. TA's that there's the brains out there to cure but too much money is being made in treatments.

    I hate that chitter chatter in the office.
    I used to work with a woman who would literally talk through everything as she was doing it
    "oh I'll write that down"
    "just need my pen"
    "oh where did I put my pen?"
    "oh there it is"
    "oh the phone is ringing"
    "better answer that"

    Literally all day long. Infuriating.
    And one thing in particular that drove me mad was, everyday she would come up for her break and ask "is the kettle just boiled?" and everyday I would reply, "I have no idea" and yet she would continue to ask everyday.

    I don't understand jeans with rips. I don't want to have to shave my legs just to wear jeans:confused:

    how i nearly always overstuff my wraps/sandwiches,and how the deli always seem to do a better job.

    :( had a minor ankle operation end of march to have plates and pins removed. Was extremely slow to heal and the physio questioned last week why it was still swollen and bruised. I guess i just don't heal very quickly.

    Anyway apart from swelling/bruising there's nothing wrong with it. I left a big 5litre bottle of water next to my bed and when I swung my leg out to get up I whacked the really sensitive side off the top of the bottle. It sounds like nothing but it felt like I'd cut it pretty bad. It's throbbing so bad the pains the whole way up my leg. It feels hot and sore to move.

    It's grand like just obviously hit a tender spot but I'm so annoyed I feel like kicking the bottle up and down the stairs. Don't know why I was stupid enough to leave it there. How can a bottle even hurt its plastic

    When the FedEx tracking website tells me that there was an attempted delivery on a package I'm waiting on and that "the card left on your doorstep will tell you how and when to collect it", but there's no card, and I got no call from a delivery man :(

    Gotvthe student price at my gym so a years membership for 250eur.
    TA that I'm now a gym member. I expect every Chinese takeaway (once a week or less) will be telling me to put down the fork and do a spinning class.

    This evening I witnessed an able bodied woman, 30s roughly ,park in a disabled space nearest the door of a Lidl supermarket. Within 30 mins the same woman parked in the closest space to the door of the Super Valu. This was also a disabled bay. Couldn't believe it. She might as well drive the car through the doors and into the shops if she's that insistent on getting as close to the shop doors. Fair enough its not on public property. There were plenty empty spaces around on both occasions.
    A week tied into a wheelchair might induce a bit of cop on.

    Did she have a disabled badge?

    That is not trivial! That is infuriating!!

    I look "able bodied", however, I am anything but that.

    I am emailing someone important about something important. I just signed the email and sent it. Then looked in my sent items to make sure it was sent. I signed it "kind regards, Dave".

    My name isn't Dave.

    Trying to buy tampons and codeine in a pharmacy near work. They should make it a fúcking Olympic sport. The "personal hygiene" section was hidden down the back, lest your catholic guilt about being unclean be affecting you. However said place down the back is also where all the aul fellas are hanging around waiting to be seen by the on site pharmacist. Now I wouldn't normally be phased by the old crop failure, it is what it is. My fertility racing off into the sunset while I remain sprog free would be a far greater concern, but this was seriously awkward. What made it worse was that they were far more embarrassed than me as I leaned across and tried to grab a box. I wound up getting the maximum strength oversized ones too because I sure as hell wasn't going to stop to peruse the flow narratives. Major design fail.

    Then the fifty questions made to make you feel like a junkie when you ask for codeine. :mad:

    I didnt look for a badge. She certainly wasnt disabled as she passed me going into the Super Valu store. Definitely had no passenger either.

    You have no idea what someone's disability might be, so don't assume they don't have one because at that moment they happen to be walking by you without issue.

    You seem to think that since she wasn't in a wheelchair she wasn't disabled. You don't know what disability she could have had and why she needed to be closer to the front.

    I was buying tampons at the weekend and they were stacked next to the Tena Ladies, the adult nappies. I like to make an informed choice of what I'm buying but was too embarrassed to examine the box incase people thought I had issues peeing my pants :(
