    Following on from something I posted the other night about my missus discussing her period in a graphic fashion.....it turns out she was worried about being pregnant and was talking to her friend about it.

    She neglected to tell me about her concerns.


    ......which has lead to this on the happy thread -> http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=92014120&postcount=785

    Yeah, we prefer to keep the fear of a pregnancy scare to ourselves, until we know whether or not there's a pregnancy. It'a a unique kind of panic. Thankfully I don't have to worry about pregnancy anymore. I think my husband is relieved that I hit menopause at 41, he was due to have a vasectomy this year. :D

    I get really annoyed when I see people posting all these pics of themselves on facebook doing the Ice bucket challenge or no make up selfies or whatever the current fad is, for complete strangers. Why not do it to benefit their own communities and highlight problems. I got a call earlier from a lady who adopted a foster kitten from us earlier this year. She'd found 4 kittens and their mum living in the garden of an empty house in her neighbourhood.

    A rescue will take them, spay and vaccinate them and do the best they can to rehome them. All of that costs money, the government doesn't really provide funding to rescues, so rescues are always desperately trying to raise funds. I'd love to see one of these faddy quick fundraising things done to highlight the huge numbers of abandoned animals on the streets of Ireland. Thankfully this lady is lovely and is making every effort to help the puddy cats, but it's shocking the amount of people who turn a blind eye while animals starve. Not so trivial, rant over.

    Take away the novelty/bandwagon attitude and people couldn't care less. Not saying the Ice Bucket Challenge wasn't helpful but the fact that people became so proactive about it whilst ignoring so many other worthwhile charities on a constant basis is extremely irritating.

    Is proactive the right word? Looks a bit manky in there :pac:

    When an absolute CÚNT of an Iarnród Eireann worker waves on the train to leave when he sees you approaching (3 minutes before it was scheduled to leave), starts to laugh when you try to hurry up to catch it and then aggressively tells you that it's gone in a typically cúnty "are ya deaf lad?" kinda way.

    Oh my god, go fúck yourself ya gowl.

    Ahahahaha, what a legend. :pac:

    Can't sleep again. Eyes hanging out of me all day, even my arms felt numb I was so tired. Yet, I get into bed and feel like I could run a marathon. I have to be in limerick in the morning for 10am, which means ill have to be up at 6:30.
    Ive been awake for what, 36 hours or something :( I don't even know, I can't count.

    I need Valium.

    Have you tried Valerian? And no sugar or caffeine from say 4pm. And if you drink caffeine drinks, think about giving them up!

    In the petshop at the weekend leaving half my salary there as usual to feed the gang of misfits and had the following conversation with the cashier:

    Her: We are having a big event here tomorrow for our customers to celebrate our birthday
    Me: Oh great, I might come along.
    Her: Yes it will be a great day
    Me: What kind of things have you got planned?
    Her: (and I kid you not) Oh you know, a bouncy castle for the kids, a face painter for the kids, sweets for the kids, competitions for the kids....
    Me: Oh right so um...nothingfor the animals then? You know, the ones who actually keep you in business....???

    ffs does everything have to be about kids these days? Even the fúcking petshop cant be about pets, it has to be about kids. The one place you think you could take your dog to for an open day/birthday bash/thanks to our customers kinda get together is a petshop but no. Fúcking face painting and sweets for the brats. I think I'll just take my dog to the forest so...and buy her food online.

    People licking envelopes and generally people masticating in front of me/within earshot. Vile, disgusting human entities with food holes on their faces and sh1tholes on their backsides :( Sh1t machines - that's all we really are when you think about it.

    I was trivially annoyed because the OH let me drive his car to limerick today, and I think I may have been caught speeding on the m7 but that petshop story cheered me up

    My crappy veins annoy me. I had another infusion this morning and they always have to put the canula in a really painful area. Still, at least they got the needle in, in just 1 attempt today, usually I look like a heroin addict with all the bruises on my arms. :o

    2nd trivial annoyance of the day, is waiting for the postman to deliver a package. After the infusion I could really use a nap but I think there's a package due today. If I go and lay down now I won't sleep because I'll be listening out for the postman.

    This trivially annoys me. Back in the mid-'90s I used to regularly go between Dublin and Limerick via the (then) N7 Naas Bypass. 'Twas Black Autobahn country that time, and I used to cover the dual-carriageway bits lying on the tank at ~130mph. Happy days!! :D

    Ah now ONW, you do realise that FAMILIES also own pets and unless pets have developed ways of paying for their own supplies, then naturally it will be aimed at the people who actually pay for the products to attract them and keep them as customers.

    I'm sure their may be pet treats etc on the day but I can't understand your ire at the entire family(including as you say the "brats" which is incredibly sweeping)along with their pets enjoying a day out.

    Also, your dog peeing twice in the store?
    I guess its not only "brats" who behave badly when in shops.

    They're going to do a lumbar puncture, but I've had two CT scans and a hospital admission so he seemed pretty sure that's what it is. Looks like the penalty points won't matter now, since I won't have a license anyway.
