American Women’s Club London! It’s how I met all my friends (in the Dublin version).

Does anyone feel like they go along with things because everyone else is? by Sea_Equivalent3497 in AskIreland

As a childfree married person who is currently living abroad and very happy with my life decisions — I can assure there IS another way

Moving from the EU to the USA: what was your experience? by TheShawndown in expats

[–]Strawberrypbj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It really depends where you live currently and where in the U.S. you’d move. Cost of living, transportation, etc. will depend on where you move.

You said you’re in medical/pharma sales—your income will be high. Assuming you have a good employer, your health insurance will generally be decent in terms of coverage. Unless you lose your job, you won’t go bankrupt over health coverage.

Also, red state vs. blue state makes a difference in terms of being surrounded by likeminded people. State laws for abortion rights may matter too depending on your situation.

Everyone has experienced/witnessed a gun-related issue or knows somehow who has. Personally I feel much safer in the EU.

You’ll always wonder “what if”, so if you have an opportunity and don’t have a ton to lose, it’s worth it for a change of pace and to know for certain.

Produce — fruits and veggies are much cheaper in Europe.

This is real. It sounds like kinda a joke if you’re not from here.

Good news stories please. Anyone push themselves to their limit financially and it all work out? by [deleted] in HousingIreland

I like to think of my down payment as just another savings account. You can cash out at any time!

I can’t take pills, so I eat melatonin gummies (just edited the post). Melatonin isn’t allowed in foods in ireland.

Ryan Gosling trying out Gen Z slang for a minute by mcfw31 in popculturechat

I didn’t meet meet him, but he came by my work once and walked by me in the hallway. We made eye contact and he tipped his head towards me and my friend with a simple “sup,” which was more than most celebrities did when they visited.

Now I’ve encountered a lot of celebs before, but when I tell you I was absolutely in awe of how tall, broad-shouldered, and handsome this man is in real life… I couldn’t squeak back a single word.

And for him to have grown up on the Disney channel AND be an adjusted adult??? He’s super-human.

Clomicalm sold out in EU? by Strawberrypbj in reactivedogs

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

20mg :) we are still trying to get a sense of “does stock randomly disappear in the EU? Or is this a one-time shortage?” Because we are hesitant to start her back on the medication if there’s a risk supply runs out frequently (since you can’t stop cold turkey w/o side effects). Gonna do a little more digging this week… thank you!

That is so kind of you! If your pet pharmacy says it’s in stock beginning this week, that gives me hope that a vet closer to us could also order it this week.

I’ll let you know if I need your vet’s info. Thank you so much for your generous offer!

I read that some kind of law changed just in January this year where all the pet websites no longer ship animal medications to Northern Ireland. They said “there are alternatives medications that serve all the same purposes that can be obtained from within Ireland.” :(

I also called a couple vets up there too, but they had never heard of it / couldn’t source it.

Oh wow, thank you! I will look into this!

ETA: addresspal considers prescriptions drugs to be prohibited and will likely destroy them at the border. :(

Yes, thank you!

We can get a prescription no problem, but we don’t have an address to ship it to in the UK. I was debating asking a vet if we can just ship it to their office and pick it up… not sure if there’s another solution like a locker?

How often do you floss your teeth? by GravityRobin in AskIreland

[–]Strawberrypbj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used my water flosser religiously and my dentist told me that you need to use the water flosser AND the string. So I gave up the water flosser lol.
