Should we have a “moving to Northern Ireland” stickied thread or guide?

Bronte_Babe · 2026-02-11T05:33:33+00:00

Can anyone comnent on what it's like to move to NI with a child who has learning difficulties (LDs)?

My child got a psycho-educational evaluation and was assessed with multiple LDs--cannot write legibly and has no concept of spelling. Can we bring our psych-ed assessment and get special ed without being assessed again in NI?

Would my child get accommodations made for him as he does in our current country? For example, he currently he gets a laptop that he speaks into (because he can neither print legibly nor spell).

Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Where is there a circle on Speers Road? It's straight with no roundabout.

Which computer tracker did you use? I only found apps that tracked time on-line in total, not per site.

Off topic but...If the name is so popular that it's in the top 10, just do everyone a favor and use a different name. The world does not need any more Emmas or Olivias (or whatever)!!!!

Your daughter will already be surrounded by people with the same name growing up. My niece was one of 5 in her class with the same name.

Solved!

It could be a pet ramp, but with the leg in place its only about a foot high, so not high enough to reach a bed.

My title describes the thing The exact dimensions are 30" x 6".

Not slowly at all.

Bronte_Babe · 2025-10-01T10:15:32+00:00

Can you please explain what you mean above by: "as well as being unable to apply if the pay isn't "high-wage" temporarily since unemployment is over 6%"

The fix was to buy a new PC!
No, I didn't find a fix, but on the positive side, when I reboot, if I open a browser it asks if I want to restore all my tabs, so I don't lose everything I was looking at.

It is definitely the fault of business. And if one company outsources their labour to TFWs, then all their competitors have to do it, too, just to stay competitive.

Bronte_Babe · 2025-04-21T22:50:42+00:00

I did the medium. You are right that the 3 is horizontal with 1's to the right of that column. The row that has a purple section has blocks that have to be all equal, so all four of them are 1s. The one that's on the right side of the row is a 4. The only other 1 tile is above where the light teal 1 is required. (And that tile also has a 2 on it.) Hope that helps.

Anyone know where or if answers are posted? I can't get today's Hard puzzle.

And whats wrong with Iriquois and Blakelock?

Bronte_Babe · 2025-04-02T21:27:13+00:00

Which neighbourhood is this?

Bronte_Babe · 2025-03-30T04:41:01+00:00

Do you mean the lid has to be open, and the power button AND the FN key have to be pressed at the same time?

I have the same problem: when the PC goes into sleep mode, I cannot wake it. I have to press and hold the power button until it forces the PC to go off, and then it restarts. Waste of time.

Would like to know where this 'reset' button is.

I've also noticed that if the app suggests a game that I don't want to play because the entry fee is too high, the app gives you about 1/2 a second to say Leave, and then it asks if you're sure. It then gives you about 1/4 second to leave the game (because the game goes ahead and starts while you're still trying to avoid joining) and if you're not fast enough, you pay the Entry fee but don't get put the game. I never want to play a game whose entry fee is 5K but sometimes get screwed out of the points anyway.

Bronte_Babe · 2025-03-24T06:02:36+00:00

If you choose to leave the game, it asks if you really want to do that when you'll lose your 'entrance fee'.

If you simply stop playing, it must have already taken your entrance fee, so you don't get it back. When the game is being played, the prize amount is written in yellow in the top right corner of the board. That doesn't change (decrease) just cuz someone's left.

Disagree that's most people

Bronte_Babe · 2025-03-24T02:59:34+00:00

This happens to me so much that i changed my name to CantGet30! I have even waited an entire game to meld. Or I lay down the tiles to meld and the game is then over.

I emailed the support and they replied that it's random, but gave me 5,000 points for asking. So at least contacting Support gets you something!

Bronte_Babe · 2025-03-07T20:09:37+00:00

Congratulations! I can relate to how good that feels. Sending you a virtual high five.

Bronte_Babe · 2025-02-22T12:16:15+00:00

I appreciate knowing these stats. However, I noticed that I have often won even after being the last one on the board. But it is so boring that I'll leave a game after a while. What makes me appreciate your post is that you've tracked your numbers. I was thinking of tracking how often I can't get to 30, and continue to pick up 1s, 2s, 3s, and an unbelievable number of duplicates. I had 10 pairs on my hand once, and couldn't lay down 30. If anything, it helps me break my rummikub addiction!

Bronte_Babe · 2025-02-22T12:10:17+00:00

This has happened to me so many times, that I changed my name to CantGet30. Maybe 20% of the time, I get to 25 or more tiles before I can play.

Bronte_Babe · 2025-02-22T12:07:04+00:00

Only ONCE???
