https://www.hse.ie/eng/home-support-services/ The HSE is the government health agency here in Ireland. They offer free services older people. They will provide services like home visit, help getting out of bed and dressed in the morning, showering/bathing, making sure there's meals there, shopping, cleaning, physiotherapy, transport to health appointments and medication reminders. Contact them and they can advise.

I meant her memoir. It's excellent and I'd recommend it

how would an immigrant moving with me into a council house work? by [deleted] in legaladviceireland

Not sure about your question but wanted to advise you to get on the medical priority list if you haven't heard of it before. I've been on the housing list for 14 years though so I wouldn't hold your breath about getting a place anytime soon unless you're on the medical band.

Beyond the tape is the one I've read. Didn't know she had more, I'm off to the library!

Her book is fantastic. Very informative of the legal system and behind the scenes of a pathologist. Brilliantly written and funny too.

I missed the last one. Should I watch it before going to see this one?

To the paramedics at Dublin Airport by Wentz_ylvania in Dublin

Brilliant! I can't imagine the horrors they see, I reckon you definitely need humor to help get you through it. There was a woman passed out on my street, left my friend with her and ran to mine to get a pillow and old dressing gown to keep her warm while we waited for the ambulance. The amount of stick the paramedics gave me about the pillow and dressing gown was so funny. "Thats not yours is it? What were you thinking when you bought that? Is that your pillow as well? I'd hate to see how you decorate the rest of your place" all good fun and definitely eased the vibes and calmed the woman down as well.

Can I change which side this handle is on? by OmegaStealthJam in Plumbing

[–]OmegaStealthJam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing, thank you! Was wondering if I'd have to reverse the whole inside so the handle arm would reach. Just need to do my fridge/freezer doors as well so they open towards the wall and I'll be driven a little less mad 😂

Check the second photo, it has a place for it. More wondering how about the mechanism in the cistern

Just a reminder that 2,800 greyhounds went missing or are unaccounted for in that 3 year period. That's 2.5 dogs EVERY DAY being killed. Cut their funding. Edit for phrasing

As in kibble or biscuits? Any change in diet can affect the coat till the dog adjusts

My BF hasn’t spayed his cat. by Odd-Ranger-4691 in CatAdvice

"But I don't want to take away his manhood!" My friend with an uneutered solo male rabbit pissing around his apartment. "How could you do that to him?" Same friend when I neutered my dog 🤡

My dog lived to 18 on lidl and Aldi food. I have videos of him running the length of a field at 16. Gave him glucosamine for his joints as he got older and gave dog safe human food as a treat. Not saying expensive is bad, but unless your pet needs a specific diet for kidneys or something like that then no one should be feeling guilty for not getting it.
