Don't ya know that she accepts plastic now?

My little boy doesn't take plastic though and I don't think the tooth fairy is going to be duped by fake teeth.
Found a bit of shrapnel in the attic last night so got through it in the end.
His first tooth cost us a tenner as we had nothing smaller.
I never thought to raid his money box but that just seems to be wrong on a lot of levels.

One of mine fashioned a fake tooth out of the white version of BluTac in the hope of fooling the tooth fairy. Another picked dried blood off a cut on her knee and put it under her pillow, hoping for the "Scab Fairy" to come and give her money. Neither worked, but you have to be vigilant.

Remember, you're battling a resourceful enemy. As above, they won't hesitate to try to rip you off. The end justifies the means.

This reminds me of Homer sneaking into Barts room to raid his piggy bank for beer money
You're doing it for good reason and you can replace it. Try not to feel bad, you're really not doing anything wrong, you're not taking it to buy crystal meth!

TA i made soup last night in the nutri bullet and it exploded all over the place. There was cauliflower everywhere and the plastic jug shattered so I had no soup and now have no nutri bullet. The kitchen stinks of cumin and stock cubes even though I cleaned it. I dont even like cauliflower soup so dont know why i was making it in the first place!

I hate the predictive text on my phone. It makes me look semi literate sometimes. Another TA

I would never remember to pay it back so it would be long term theft from a 7 year old :pac:

Leave an "IOU - signed: The Tooth Fairy", or give him another tenner and add a note that says "This covers the next 9 teeth, too".

Josepha Madigan and her crusade to rebrand the 'Kerryman' newspaper over concerns of inclusivity. Imagine waking up one morning and declaring yourself offended by something so trivial. From the same person (better not say "woman" in case a twitter storm breaks out) mixed up in the Maria Bailey controversy, not exactly a bastion of credibility. All of this in the middle of a pandemic, talk about priorities hopelessly out of kilter.

When you buy an expensive enough gift for somebody and they ask did it come free with the paper!

I am Ta’d with myself that I over apologize

Was walking to work on a big wide open footpath and looking at my phone. I looked up to see two cyclists side by side flying towards me at speed

I move left, I move right but they did the same. Eventually they swing around me. I waved my hand apologetically

Wait , why am I am apologizing??? It is a footpath

And sometimes in supermarkets I get jabbed with a trolley yet I apologize

Dunno why I do this

Be right back

What about the Woman's way magazine? I wonder if she will want to change that title?

TA, seeing a sign for roadworks starting and to expect delays. Leave for work a bit earlier only to find they hadn't started yet!

That is aimed at women though so is a poor comparison.

Pharmaceutical pricing is my TA. I've been on a particular table for the last few months. they cost me €50 a month. they have not been having the desired effect so my GP increased the dose yesterday. The cost of the higher dose table is the exact same as the lower dose. What exactly am I paying for then?

If that is a Canadian trait then it moved over there with the British and Irish settlers.
We are terrible for apologising all the time, people who come to live here from other countries remark on it quite often.

When you are looking forward to something on the telly for ages. You think this looks right up my street, then when you finally watch it, it's a load of old pony.

That new pirate docurama thing on Netflix!
Why would you put a voice over from a fairy tale on it??

Current Dublin Gazette has a front-page article on crack cocaine addiction; with a photo of a heroin addict.

Husband knocked the newly purchased bottle of red wine onto the kitchen floor so my lunchtime was spent mopping that up.

Stubborn people who are set in their ways, and delude themselves with cognitive dissonance. And play thick.

An elderly neighbour who keeps leaving birdseed on her shed roof three times a day 10 ish, 3 ish and 5 ish.
She has been doing it for years before I moved in. To the extent that there is about 40 seagulls two by two on each house in the the estate. With her shed being the focal point at feeding time.

The problem is this attracts seagulls in. Now a bit of background back around Christmas I brought the neighbour a birdseed feeder.
I even wrote a poem back then asking her not to attract the seagulls in - as her husband fancies himself as poet (who also tells her to stop feeding seagulls by the way). I also sent her info from the county council which explains why people should not feed seagulls. Along with a seagull christmas card.

But very quickly day one/day two the birdseed feeder (which was fairly heavy) ended up over the wall and in my garden. I returned the bird seed feeder a few days later and even put a sticker on it with her name address 'for fear she would lose it again'. And said "It must have blown over on a stormy day". She looked shocked, and stumped for words.

I confronted her directly today after giving her months to show an improvement. Saying "why are you STILL putting bird seed up on that shed three times a day. 10ish. 3ish and 5ish" etc
I said why doesn't she use a bird feeder?

Her answer was as follows a curt "it's gone" the way a child would say it. "It blows away. I can't help it the birdseed feeders blow away" she said.

Says I "come on (Her Name) you expect me to believe that?" "Tie it up properly and buy another one"

She continued "I don't feed the seagulls she said, I feed the Pigeons"

I asked "Can she not see that it attracts the seagulls?"
Plus I said "it has been going on much longer than covid!"
And I stated that she is better than that.

She replied "I can't help it" And went off in huff because I called her a liar.

At the time of writing I can hear the seagulls squawking, it must have been feeding time again. Regular as clockwork.

How do you you deal with someone like that? To make it even funnier she watches the road like a hawk (no pun intended) and gives out about other neighbours being nosey etc

"New and improved!" only ever means "We've found a cheaper way to make it."

Also, wtf is it with people who chuck their leftover chicken curry & rice, half loaves of bread and the likes out onto the road?? We've got a similar problem with seagulls now, miles in from the coast - there were a dozen massive fookars stood on the rooftops of a row of 6 houses just... waiting. And no doubt mice and rats ready to come out of the shadows. I feel like putting it all back through their letterbox.

She's away with the birds. Possibly low down on the pecking order in life. I wouldn't get my feathers in a fluff about it.
