    It's not only America. And Mother's Day (just like Father's Day) is celebrated on different dates around the world. See here, including the calendar.

    I won't mind if they start celebrating my birthday on multiple dates. 😉

    Oh yes, that would be great! You'd get to your pension in no time! Where do I sign up?

    Food packaging that’s advertised as resealable that is in no way resealable, without getting out your own cling film and resealing it yourself. 💀

    My favourite supermarket brand of cheese slices are an example. Even on opening a brand new pack, there is completely zero stickiness or adhesion that enables you to close or reseal the packet, not close to being able to do it, nothing..….

    Even has quite clearly ‘RESEALABLE’ in capital letters on the top of the packaging where you open it…it ain’t. After making a sandwich instead of sitting down to enjoy it I’m rummaging around for the cling film.

    I resorted to using a plastic container for that “resealable” ham.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    it’s mid May, the very start of summer. Yet I’m rummaging around online with the want to get a few new casual T-shirts. My favourite site / retailer is so low and out of stock of mine and actually most sizes, just when you imagine at this time of year they’d have plenty of everything….. but nope 👀….👀

    Had to guess if any salt came out of the shaker and onto my fried egg sandwich. Took a bite and it didn't taste like it.

    I'm half thinking that the couple we share a wall with are trying to buy our house(the one they live in is free, or at least not at market value)

    Not only have they been hotboxing my part of the house nightly for the past month, "dirtying" newly cleaned drains within hours. Hence, the aroma flows into the kitchen/dining area, but now one of them has started "burning " raw onion-scented stuff, so it floods the bedroom used on the lower floors.

    Ta they feel or know they can get away with that kind of behaviour.

    People who send you Facebook links that you've got to log into that damned network to view. So I don't.

    Caught the end of the reporting on the swimming tragedy in Donegal, so so sad for all involved.

    The bit that ta'ed me in this was the reporter referring to the second young man who was found as a "body", the youngster died in the hospital, which implied to me that he was alive to some degree at the scene. To minimise a person to that degree had been annoying me all day. Especially as the reporter I presume works with words all day, and should know better especially as they had the youngsters name.

    Models wearing glasses with no prescription lenses in. And now, Meta paying famous/expensive actors to peddle their **** AI glasses, to record everything and also, with no prescription lenses in them. Oh and they've also got Ray Ban on them for extra special appeal.

    I'm eating a curry that the label with three chillies on the label states is HOT!

    I'm not even sure it tastes like a curry much less HOT!

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    the way how timekeeping seems to be beyond unfashionable these days. How can a healthcare ‘professional’ be 50 minutes late for an appointment they themselves asked to schedule for 12.00, midday, today ? They are a physiotherapist so not like they are ever dealing with emergency medicine or emergency situations / treatments or even walk ups…

    You can ‘so far’ before lunch find yourself 50 minutes ( and counting ) behind schedule ? How ? That’s a real beaut… no phone call or email of course.

    My wife has just got a letter asking her to let the sender know (Irish state body) if she has moved but doesn't need to do anything if she hasn't.

    How would she have got the letter if she had moved?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    It was . But buttons are beginning to fall off it and the screen is not working . But as you say , it’s had a good run .

    Another TA is getting FB notifications and when you click on it you get a message that you don’t have permission to see this post . Shirley I shouldn’t be getting notifications about it then .
