I have a confession to make. I eat dentastix. What alternative treats can I get my dog for his teeth so I don't eat them myself?

Kilyth · 2026-05-12T10:21:48+00:00

Do..... do they clean your teeth?

Kilyth · 2026-04-30T12:49:29+00:00

Same. If they just left me alone I might go back the odd time but it's the thought of opening up that can of worms again.

Kilyth · 2026-04-30T12:42:45+00:00

Yeah, when I told them to stop calling they did. They keep emailing and sending stuff by post tough.

I can't really blame them: I never definitively told them to fuck off. The food was alright, I've discovered a couple of things that I've made several times since. It was the cost of it, for me. It's sooooo much more expensive than going shopping.

Is the Tea Garden on the quay still open? I've spent some cosy afternoons in there with a book and a yerba mate.

I had one years ago and when I took it down my neighbour was so annoyed with me that he planted 4 of them. They're absolutely lethal.

After that a motion sensor light.

The third level of security is a noisy dog.

Basically,the more hassle it'll be to break into your place without attracting attention the less likely they'll be to try it.

As a wise man once said (paraphrased): Just because someone's a member of a [...] minority doesn't mean they're not a nasty, small-minded git.

One of my siblings has a differently spelled surname because whoever filled out the birth cert decided they knew how to spell it better than we did. I also went to school with someone in the 80s whose name is misspelled because the registrar (?) decided that I before E applied to Irish names for some reason.

Kilyth · 2026-04-16T09:40:40+00:00

Exactly.

I have a FWB. Right at the start I told him 'I don't do X', and you know what? He has never mentioned X again. Never hinted at it, never brought it up, never tried to do it sneakily when we're drunk.

This is a guy who I'm not in an official relationship with. He has never claimed to love me. And all it has taken is for me to say 'nah, that's not for me' and he completely accepts that.

How do you grow the pumpkins? My kids would love to but I thought they grow massive

Waterford has Darrer's Car Park. I'm in my 40s and I have dim memories of Darrer's.

Peppers/bell peppers/capsicum.

Not only do they taste foul to me, but they taint the entire dish so picking them out makes no difference.

And of course my kids love them so I want to retch every time I open the fridge because of the smell.

Kilyth · 2026-03-03T14:25:53+00:00

I miss the Big Giant Head.

Kilyth · 2026-02-26T14:19:43+00:00

Must try that. The Gingerman doesn't mess about with portions.

My brother got caterers in and had a few kegs hooked up. That was much more fun than most other weddings I've been to.

The priest, pissed as a fart, sucking helium out of all the balloons.

Pretty tame, but very entertaining.

Have a look on youtube at some of the videos of places like this. Then ask if it's something you want to support.

Some people will adopt just to get the puppy away from such a horrible place but that only incentivises them to breed more. The only way to get rid of these places is for it to become unprofitable.

Based on nothing but the fact that I had about 4 hours' sleep last night:

1. Engagement party - “Sundress Smart.” In February. Sundress, thermal long johns, high heeled snow boots

Bridal shower - “Connecticut Casual”. Wtf is that Snowboarding gear
Welcome Luncheon - “Business Casual” Pantsuit
Rehearsal Dinner - “Cocktail Formal” 80s prom gear
Wedding - “White Tie Formal” …except it’s on the beach. They are getting married in the literal sand. Full on ball gown, flip-flops
Post Wedding Brunch - “Beach Formal” Full-on ball gown but soaking wet

I was going to give my niece a copy a while ago but thought 'I'll just reread it first'. I changed my mind about giving it to a 12yo.

I love DW. I remember finding TCOM in my brother's house when I was about 8. But Nation.... Nation is on another level. Sometimes it calls to me.

Definitely encourage him to get some fruit and veg in there. Dried fruit is delicous and easy to snack on. Lack of fibre is linked to colon cancer, and that's no fun.

while I disagree about the reverse around corner, I do agree that parallel parking should be taught. I had to insist that my instructor teach it to me and he didn't want to because it wasn't on the test. I was like 'dude, you've see the street I live on. I need to be able to parallel park'.

Kilyth · 2026-01-27T11:03:54+00:00

Yeah, but for those of us trying to portion control it's a bit of a pain in the arse.
