    Had my reflux medication changed recently, bought a wedge pillow. Still puked twice already today and have to call in sick, again.

    Looking up foods to avoid because it's getting worse. Chocolate, caffeine, garlic, onions, anything fried or fatty, cheese, tomatoes, citrus fruits....basically everything I eat. Hello to a lifetime of boiled chicken, rice and bananas :(

    There is a driver theory testing centre in our office building.

    Candidates are supposed to walk in the front door, it's wide open from 8am each day

    I was walking in the back entrance as it's a mini shortcut and a guy was there pulling at the door and then asking me why it was locked. I have a test, why is it locked?? I said you can go around the front

    I used my keycard and then he followed me in and gave out to the security guard inside the door. I have a test why is the door locked?

    The security man kicked him out and told him to go around the front :D

    My TA is pushy people

    Don't worry, it should eventually settle and you can go back to eating all the better this in life :pac:

    Week 5 of my new job and still haven't been paid. I'm meant to be paid by the week :(

    Why must I always suffer for catching up on sleep over the weekend? I got plenty of rest on Friday and Saturday and this is obviously my punishment.
    Yet another Sunday where I fell asleep after 4am, 3 hours sleep does nooooooot look or feel good on me.
    This is cruel :(

    I cannot for the life of me take a tablet. It's my biggest fear that I'm going to choke to death on a tablet or feel it lodged in my throat. Can you choke to death on a multi vitamin? I'm trying to be good and take them but I gag. Help me

    Don't take them. Not choking to death is a lot better for your health than multi vitamins that have questionable health benefits.
    If you insist I wonder do any exist in sachet form to mix with water?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,070 ✭✭✭LadyMacBeth_


    You can get multi vitamin tablets that dissolve in water like Berocca.

    Why didn't I think of this? Like I knew this when I was getting them. Sure I'm awful stupid altogether.

    The office is freezing because Mr Open All the Windows has, shockingly, decided to open all the windows.

    If it's any help to know, you can perform the Heimlich manoeuvre on yourself and I'm proof it works. It's not likely you'll choke on a tablet but it's easily fixable :D

    Mr Pampers. What a complete bollocks. So, this morning I'm getting the 2.5 year old ready for crèche and myself ready for work. She advanced from nappies to 'Pants' and this is a great milestone because she's now "grown up" and scoffing at "babies" (yes, we're trying to persuade her intellectually of the merits of decommissioning the soother at her age!).

    But what did Mr Pampers go and do with his Pants (Pull Ups)? He decided to put not just one animal but a whole slew of the little bastards on them. Her Majesty this morning at 7am, having woken me up at 4am and had me as her support on the floor mattress ever since, decided she wanted a pair of Pants with a...tiger on it. A fúcking tiger. So, she went into a rebellion that Constance Markiewicz in Easter Week herself would be proud of to get the Pants that had this little fúcker.

    She went over to the Pampers box looking for her tiger, taking out each single Pants and examining it for a tiger, giggling away at various animal faces on various pants and telling me to look at this, that and the other. I'm looking at my watch thinking Sweet Mother of Jesus, I've seen it all now. But she held steadfast; she was going to get her tiger and I'd just have to wait.

    Another "cute" idea on paper from the geniuses in the baby business who have no practical experience of raising kids.

    Really? How do you do it? What happened you? I've a morbid curiosity with these kinds of things, they feed my paranoia but I can't help myself!

    I was walking down the street quite early this morning.

    I had a few pints last night and decided that it was safe to let rip with a massive Guinness fart.

    I hadn't noticed my neighbour was behind her car and she heard this raging fart.

    I cant even fart in peace anymore.

    I stood on a nettle barefoot yesterday. It actually isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

    Either it was a nice nettle, or your feet are made of tanned leather.

    Really? I actually see a lot of your posts where you frequently bring this issue up and I never see anyone taking issue with how you spell or your grammar.
    I think you're confusing people disagreeing with the basis of what you're saying, for people being ignorant towards your dyslexia.
    In fact the only person who ever brings up your dyslexia at all, is you.

    My TA- my mother in law to be is staying tonight and trying to change the spare room covers has me out in a sweat.

    Any time I've seen anyone comment on your spelling you have been immediately apologised to by the poster in question when you explained you have dyslexia.
    People aren't psychic and a lot of people out there misspell out of laziness. This obviously isn't the case for you but you can't expect other people to know that right off the bat.

    Dont think its being ignorant at all as i said keyboard warriors who find issues with grammar and my spellings .

    I was called stupid in school for 14 years because of it. And I also wish you did not have it every single day of your life wishing you never had it. As i bring up the issue as others always bring it up and never get notting said to them.

    I was told by one user before that i should have in my signature that i have dyslexia to warn people .....

    Would you consider adding a signature to your posts? Something like:
    Any typos are from having dyslexia, not laziness or booze:p

    A good humoured way of letting people know and avoiding stress.

    ETA Sorry Mod.

    Seriously guys, move on from this.

    Stop using the thread as a tool to aim jabs at other users or at other forums.
