    These fellas I would consider hard men.But after watching their movie choice Im questioning that.I am all confused an also slagging the **** out of them.


    Oh gawd. That reminds me, years ago I fancied this fella. Seriously into him for a while. Definitely not a hard man, but the sensitive type, educated, opinionated, good for a bit of an argument on a hot topic. All systems were go as we flirted more openly with one another each time we met up. And then i asked him who his favourite author was. Jane Austen. Never has my opinion changed and my attitude to someone switched so quickly. Put me right off him. Actually ended up not being able to stand the man (we socialised in the same group) So I know where you are coming from with this. I don't think you can see those friends in the same ligh, ever again

    Not so much my heart but my mentality.

    I had you pegged as a connoisseur of the fine things in life, Nobody. I'm not even going to bother introducing you to the fine art that is Commando.:D

    I'm not entirely sure how I'd feel about a girl being all that big into Jane Austen. She ruined Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

    In the middle of a virtual training class for Crew Resource Management, its kinda weird as it requires a lot of interaction that is hard to obtain through Microsoft Teams.

    Plus side, first time i got to order room service during training :):)

    Couchside, enjoying doing nothing :D face is swollen and I sound funny.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,499 ✭✭✭IamMetaldave


    That's great Dave. Hopefully you escape my experience. I just had my boyfriend have a look at the new extraction site and all he can see is bone :( Sure lookit I'll be ok. I got through the last 2 weeks of madness which actually wasn't a dry socket. If I have it on the new site I'll be grand.

    You are a master of painting mental images Perse! I’m not one for wincing.. but that made me weak! :pac: :D Hopefully it heels up soon for you and no more bone displays :)

    Hopefully from the 20th you can get your "meals" without the pretence.

    I'd be far more keen to get adult day services open again. For the user's and their clients, this is imperative. We've been locked in for months, conditions deteriorating and mental and in many cases, physical health of carers suffering. No official guidelines to the service providers about how to reinstate services safely or when. No idea when I can get a break, never mind a 'meal' and thousands of others like me but in much more taxing situations. I took to my bed yesterday, outside of providing meals. At least I was fortunate enough to indulge in a wallow. What about those who provide hands on care all day every day, often through the night? When will our needs become a priority in this crisis?

    /rant over

    Ah Sardi, I know it's an awful situation for you. Lobby groups work for other sectors and governments have always been happy to let carers carry the burden with very little practical or financial assistance.

    Are you in contact with other carers at all? All I can suggest is you hound local TDs, contact local and national media and shame them into response.

    It's difficult to muster up the energy for that and it might not work, but if enough carers do it for long enough it might help in the future.

    I hope my post didn't come across like I was bitchin' about people missing their few jars! I'm not at all. Please go for it and enjoy it while you can, and have one for me and make it a double.

    My gripe is with our government's priorities, not with people needing to get out and have a bit of much needed craic. Not the thread for it, so apologies.

    It didn't, and you should vent.

    Your life is on hold and the government has washed their hands of this for years. I'd be angry about it if I was in your position.

    The sad thing is the needs of carers were never a priority even before the crisis and probably less so now.

    And they have removed the word gullible from the dictionary too.
