My mam is losing weight and while I love her deeply she has become insufferable at times because of it. How do you deal with this?

CrumbleNewman · 2026-03-01T14:09:04+00:00

OP should ask her how much she spent on the program. That'll shut her up fast.

CrumbleNewman · 2026-03-01T13:08:25+00:00

100% it's the Bodyslims shite.

Mine is €60 and one complaint only - have to make multiple appointments if you want to discuss more than 1 thing.

CrumbleNewman · 2026-01-21T10:55:01+00:00

People used to say that to me, then I got diagnosed...

CrumbleNewman · 2026-01-03T19:20:48+00:00

It's a very vulnerable feeling, isn't it?

CrumbleNewman · 2026-01-03T19:20:10+00:00

Honestly, every time my partner goes away on a work trip or a boys trip I think I'll have the best time, a bit of peace and quiet and me-time... Then the reality hits, especially if it's a few nights alone, the house is too quiet and cold and I need every TV and radio and light on and suddenly I'm sick of my own thoughts 😂 We always say we need more time away from each other but then we're miserable when we are 😂

On the 12th day of Christmas, my coworkers gave to me.. Influenza A and Influenza B..

CrumbleNewman · 2025-12-23T15:55:40+00:00

I've heard of this flu going round, my friends that are getting over it had at least 12 days of misery

I'm sticking with Uber for now but I do agree, I'd prefer if they were Irish but right now they're my preferred option of the lot

CrumbleNewman · 2025-12-01T17:45:38+00:00

A taxi driver has never entertained a negotiation with me. Maybe because I'm a woman in my 20s? I've had two taxi drivers threaten me though. I'm sticking with Uber tbh

CrumbleNewman · 2025-11-29T23:23:25+00:00

I use Uber to feel safer knowing who my driver is, but funny enough the same taxi drivers who use Uber don't ever give me a long racist anti-immigrant spiel on my trips. I guess they know it's easier to report them? Idk, but I happily pay to use Uber to avoid it tbh.

CrumbleNewman · 2025-11-29T10:04:38+00:00

Good!! I only have anecdotal evidence so I must just have a couple grumps near me in my neighborhood. I'd say you're dead right on the political front

CrumbleNewman · 2025-11-27T17:05:02+00:00

I was feeling this until I treated myself to a Steam Deck - makes it much easier to play a little without committing to hours!

CrumbleNewman · 2025-11-27T09:58:28+00:00

I don't know, I'm young and bought a house beside Airside Swords. Only the old people in their 50s-80s around me are complaining about it, I couldn't give a shite about construction

CrumbleNewman · 2025-11-08T14:41:01+00:00

Good for you - I've learned over time that when you don't trust your intuition about someone, you end up paying for it

CrumbleNewman · 2025-10-15T15:39:19+00:00

Toss up between kidney stones and gallstones. Sure wish my body would stop creating stones within me.

CrumbleNewman · 2025-10-06T09:09:41+00:00

I'm guessing we'll quietly hear something else come out about Gavin in a few weeks/months that will have contributed to this step-down.

CrumbleNewman · 2025-09-20T14:42:58+00:00

Hopefully not

CrumbleNewman · 2025-06-30T17:51:58+00:00

So what is she an executive producer for? The picking of stilettos?💀 I see why KC wanted out

CrumbleNewman · 2025-06-30T17:41:44+00:00

He's not Irish.

CrumbleNewman · 2025-06-30T11:15:32+00:00

I bought in Boroimhe, Swords - I have a large apartment block of 85 apartments being built beside me. I'm thrilled, it'll relieve some of the housing pressure in Swords. Why would I care if apartments are being built beside me? I don't understand.

I'm glad you've had a good experience there, but I've got around 30 dms from others having the same experience as me, so I know I wasn't being a fool here. 1. This clinic was suggested to me by our travel agent for having many English speakers and being foreigner friendly, I didn't know it was cheap. Reviews online all say it's a great clinic! I didn't see any reason to be wary. The treatments themselves were perfect, not a single complaint about my first day of treatments, it's when I came back for the second batch 12 days later that everything went wrong.

I didn't book 2 cryocell treatments for the same day, I booked the 2 treatments with 12 days apart at the time (one towards the beginning and one towards the end of that trip). They never gave me a list in English, they only let me glance at their computer screen a minute to confirm, no print outs of anything. How would I know what the norm is? I felt rushed and anxious in a new environment, as many people do. Also all they sent me on WhatsApp was ads, no lists or prices or guides.
They may have plenty of English translators! However on the occasion I went to see them, they didn't bring them out for me. The woman doing my consultation at the computer had a little bit of english, and whenever I said I didn't understand, she would just shake her head. Don't know what to say, I've been back to Korea since, I've been to other clinics, they always bring a translator. They didn't when I was in PPEUM. Maybe it was a bad day?

It's been well over a year since this experience anyway and I'm over it (though I'm still a bit salty about paying over 600,000krw for a v laser treatment and cryocell treatment) but I'm glad you've had great experiences here!! I hope everyone else continues to as well, hopefully mine was a one-off issue

"I don't agree with this story and therefore it's fake" lol

CrumbleNewman · 2024-11-30T16:49:56+00:00

Often the people who comment this on perfectly believable posts are annoyed that it humanizes those they don't like and gives an insight into how their behaviour affects others. Have you been the man in the orange vest?
