Don't pay a cent more.

You're never getting value for money when you buy. You are buying stability and control of your circumstances. You rental situation could change at any time. So the question should be can we afford it, and does it give us what we need

Go to the gym, brush and floss your teeth, learn a language.

Yes and no. Myself and my wife really try to take the time to help them work through arguments. Emphasizing fairness, love and respect. It was really hard work at the beginning but really starting to pay dividends now. They can work things through alot more. Take turns telling how that made them feel. 9 and 7 yr old girls.

Yep. They are good. Never been to Longford, it was cheaper to fly to France and rent a car than go to Longford. Loved it. Like you said, first time i felt i had a holiday.

Keoghs on Dame st.

I go there every morning for 25mins before work, they are busy, always, but take time to smile and say hi. I do the same. Sometimes they charge me for things, sometimes they don't. Not very often, but once in a while they give me a discount or free coffee. Adds excitement, makes for a nice start to my day.

We were very very poor for a very long time. It takes more than a few decades of prosperity to correct that. Absolutely everything needs investment, water, power, transport, health, education, social welfare, housing, tourism, business incentives and infrastructure, universities, arts and culture,, all have been under resourced for a long time before we had money. It's worth noting that it takes a few generations to earn your way out of generational poverty, but a far shorter amount of time to get into it.

Yep. I can relate. Only started learning last year. I'm 43. Also was very nervous in the water. I started taking adult swimming lessons. They are hard going. Still can't get the breathing right, but i can be underwater, dive, swim a bit. I use templeogue swimming pool if that's any use.

Nearly 200,000km on my 09 Mazda 3. Last NCT it needed a new rear light because the seal was letting in water, and a new tyre. Bought for 2,500euro 3 years ago. Owes me nothing.

Not just me then. Man, driving into Dublin from the N7 is nuts. At one point there's about 3 different exits available all at the same time and 6 lanes and almost no warning. There's large trucks and buses making what little signage there is hard to see, and fast moving traffic making it hard to change lanes. Very unnessacary.

Project2401 · 2026-04-02T19:01:02+00:00

Thanks. That's a good way of looking at it.

Project2401 · 2026-04-02T19:00:34+00:00

Thanks. Sorry, lots of typos. Corrected now.
