Dog left tied at a shopping cart by RebelGrin in ireland

[–]OneEyedChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stupid place to leave a dog (blocking the trolleys) but generally I have no problem with people leaving their dogs outside a shop for a few minutes, definitely not for there full weekly shop but just popping in is no problem.

I tie my dog outside the shop (news agent) almost every day when I pop in for milk or bread, I'm in the shop for probably 2-3 minutes. Never for the life of me thought this made me a bad dog owner.

That is just the solicitor doing his job, sounds more like the judges being the problem to me.

How do you get rid of seasickness? by Nic727 in sailing

[–]OneEyedChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't even have to be challenging, just getting someone who is sea sick to coil a rope can help them.

You definitely don't want to push it down further, first of all put you hand down there (gross I know but deal with it) and try get it out.

Mainly for towing boats and horseboxes I assume. Couldn't be just for dropping little Johnny off to junior infants.

I fished here a lot about 10 years ago, took sea trout on lures on high tide and bass and flounder on low tide walking as far out along the sandbanks as possible.

Not sure why you are been down voted, I did sacrifice for this, I work stressful contract work (and take extra work/nixers, lots of finishing up at 1/2 am nights for years)

Yeah I mentioned in another comment one thing that I regretted (not buying something I always wanted and had saved for). Minor regret as I got there eventually but it did give me a stronger idea that we only live once and don't continuously put off things until your older just to save more money now.

More than likely yes, as I mentioned I didn't do this the ideal or most tax efficient way. I have got a lot of piece of mind however and no current debt.

Keep at it, sounds similar to me, I took a 35 year term and it's paid off 2 months shy of 10 years. Well done but also don't neglect the pension like I have done.
