    We are.

    There is maybe a moral question in there. Do you risk causing harm and being sued in order to attempt to save a life? Or do you risk not doing anything? Rationally I know that it's a situation we would have to be in ourselves to know what to do. The stronger feeling part of me though just doesn't understand doing nothing.

    Either way very sad.

    I don't know this case?

    I can't remember the details. A few years back a teenager had a serious allergic reaction to food she had eaten in a restaurant. There were nuts present. Her mother ran in to a chemist to get an epi-pen for her but they refused. The girl died. There is more to it than that I'm sure.

    I remember wondering if location was a big issue in that case, with the likelihood of drug addicts and scam artists chancing their arm sometimes but surely you'd see a genuine case from a bs one? I don't know, it was tragic..

    No worries Cali. I recommend the album that's taken from highly and Sam Beam is Iron and Wine who I'd recommend highly aswell if you're not a fan already.

    I really should go to bed but goddamit Richard Hawley is singing Tonight the streets are ours so it's not happening yet! :)

    An amusing sight seeing someone in full PPE pulling up outside your house :)
    (If it wasn't such a serious issue)

    The day before I was choppered out of here to hospital a dr I had never met arrived at the house in top to toe baby blue PPE. and asked, " Do you know who I am?"

    You have to see the humour. It is what makes all this even remotely bearable.

    That's a tad excessive, no?. Says me with a bazillion posts here :o

    Long story. She met some guy and is on about him. I told her I was exhausted from work etc. The reason I didn't reply is I'll get another 12 messages then again. It's like some stream of consciousness thing with her before she goes to sleep. I could say can't talk at work, can't talk eating dinner, can't talk someone with me but it doesn't sink in.
    Still love her though god help us haha

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    Madness. I better try and get sleep. I plan on a lie in and if my housemate starts hoovering or some crap in the morning there will be hell to pay. I told my friend tonight I was going to bed at 9 PM and here I am. Hope your night goes ok.

    Woke up about half hour ago with cramp in my calf. OOOWWW. Still stuffed head and sore throat.Still no other symptoms. Still no temperature. If anything, I feel a little better than yesterday so overall my confidence that this is a much more benign virus than COVID is high. Waiting for the Ibuprofen to kick in to ease my throat then I'll scrub and sanitise my hands, mask up and pad down stairs for a coffee.

    The Gin isn’t bad either :):)

    Unfortunately it lost its spirit when this happened, 2020Alcohol giant Diageo is buying a fast-growing gin brand co-owned by Ryan Reynolds in a deal worth up to $610 million.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,387 ✭✭✭Poochie05


    I have had that gin Smurf and it’s nice, but not easily available. Guess that's about to change now Diageo have bought it...

    Morning! Forecast isn’t bad today, might get some clothes line dried :D but first, coffee...

    Treating myself to a sandwich lunch in a pub and then hairdresser at 3pm.
    Feeling very inferior with all this gin debate, no idea what you're talking about.

    Before it became trendy in the last few years, I would have been talking to myself! :pac:
    I’m a great believer in picking a drink you like and to hell what others think, no point forcing yourself because you 'should' like it. Before I discovered gin, I experimented with Babycham :eek:
    Enjoy your afternoon, a little pocket of normality

    Just home from the park, in a bit of a funk today and can't shake it, was beautiful down the park all the same, nice to see the internal waterways full of water.
