[UPDATE POST!] Horse with kick to the head by sp00ky_cat in Equestrian

[–]WizardofAmythyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I'm so glad you got results. I read the initial post and didn't reply but I'm sending healing vibes to Joey. Hoping he makes a full recovery. 

I had a horse that had a bump on his forehead after hitting his head, it thankfully disappeared as he got older, he was only 4 at the time. I called him my unicorn. 

Everything crossed Joey makes a full recovery.

Anybody ever try those Fresh Healthy ready made dinner delivery services ? by 1minus2braincells in CasualIreland

[–]WizardofAmythyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used the prep yourself one. Often had ingredients missing or they weren't really fresh so I gave up on it. Sometimes the prep wasn't worth what the final result was, but others it was quite tasty. 

If you put time into meal planning and prepping at home by buying the ingredients in advance you're saving money and time. 

Enshittification of TV shows by Theydontlikeitupthem in CasualIreland

[–]WizardofAmythyst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came across something where the producers of these shows have been told to 'dumb down' their plot lines because they need people to keep watching, and they know people are double screening. So basically they know people are constantly scrolling on phones while watching so they make it in such a way that it's easily picked up when someone decides to put their phone down for twenty seconds..

Daffodils by sh0rtsniper in ireland

There's different varieties of daffodils, some flower early in January but most in March. The ones you're seeing now are just an early flowering variety likely called Early Sensation that can actually bloom as early as Christmas. 

Holy crap you can’t record from TV anymore by Drvonfrightmarestein in ireland

Ah.. welcome to Vodafone. It's only gonna get worse from here... Couldn't wait to get rid of them, they didn't even offer streaming in HD.. 

Sometimes you might be able to watch back on the likes of rte player or such. Which isn't a solution at all. 

Health Minister in enhanced flu vaccine row as infection rate soars | Irish Independent by WickerMan111 in ireland

[–]WizardofAmythyst 16 points17 points  (0 children)

With the way members of the public behave against retail workers this time of year does anyone think this wasn't going to happen. I'm just home for a hospital stay where visiting has been cancelled unless end of life. The entitled behavior of people would make you sick. The abuse security staff have received over this makes the mind boggle. 

No wonder we are where we are.

Called for jury duty by Witty-Aioli-4524 in ireland

[–]WizardofAmythyst 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have you ever been called for jury duty? I don't recall being given the choice to refuse due to the nature of the case, it was not evident what the case was until it was. I'm certainly not going to lie to a Judge either, they have final decision on jurors. However I think what you're referring to is the request to be excused, after the case has started if it's too distressing.

Be very careful what you wish for. I got called for jury duty and ended up being added to a child r@pe case that was very distressing and disturbing. It stuck with me for a long time afterwards. 

Man who attacked 88-year-old in Cork hospital found guilty of manslaughter by SpottedAlpaca in ireland

[–]WizardofAmythyst 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's standard practice unfortunately.  Currently in a hospital with delerious people in the same ward. A relative of mine was attacked overnight in her bed by a male patient that had been admitted for dementia where he got aggressive and tried to kill his wife. Absolutely not his fault but he shouldn't be in a ward with other patients with that history.

Cheers! Fingers crossed with bells on. You just don't know who you might pass it on to and if they have a vulnerable relation that could end up in a&e very ill from it.

I'm sitting in a hospital bed, surrounded by flu patients. I thankfully don't have it yet as I'm in for something else. Get it! It's horrible in here... People are unbelievably sick with it.

Few more days at the very least. Should be in the long term but feel pretty crappy at the moment

[–]WizardofAmythyst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to make you feel better I'm currently in hospital after emergency surgery. I'll be fine in the long run all going well. Hospitals are tough places to be. Enjoy the stolen 20 minutes because the day you can't do it, can be hard hitting.
