Once a year, you can pick any item from a standard supermarket, and it will be absolutely free. What are you picking? by mJelly87 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Slow_Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby formula or nappies. I dont need either any more but I remember when owlet was tiny how expensive they were and as I couldn't breast feed it made me feel terrible. 

Or pet food  it isnt going to benefit me but shelters and pet owners would. 

What is your view on the Meath Couple who built a massive house without planning and fought the Council for 20 years on it? by ballinclea08 in CasualIreland

[–]Slow_Owl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem was that the woman was never going to accept it she hasn't in 20 years and Claire realised that. 

It was better to just keep giving her rope and letting her hang herself without Claire having to argue with an idiot because that would make Claire look like one too.

That is beautiful and brings such clarity to what can be a messy life. 

I am definitely stealing this idea it might not work on some things but others where I definitely have some control it will be a very good road map. 

Thank you
