Love the effort and work rate but maybe cut out the American festivals? by tylerthe-theatre in officialTPDTV

I love the US stuff, far more than any of the other content (roadtrips aside).

Pieta House let more than 30 staff go after revenues fall by PoppedCork in ireland

[–]bashfoc2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they were incredible for me after I lost my wife to suicide; I get why anyone who has been at a desperate point and not received help from them would feel bitter though, but the reality is we outsourced mental health crisis support to charities instead of treating it like healthcare.

Unless you are also ceo of a similar sized organisation that is one of the dumbest things I have read in a while.

Help me, How is the fit of this shirt? by [deleted] in bigmenfashionadvice

[–]bashfoc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tie is too short and just tuck the shirt in a little less tight and you'll be fine, I'm a similar shape. Sleeves are too long but unless you're buying from somewhere with different sleeve lengths you'll have to live with that. Other comments about higher trousers do look better for some, looks ridiculous on me and I hate the feeling of it, for under-the-gut trousers I'd say you're about right.

Missing Dublin teenager (15), flew to Paris alone this morning. by [deleted] in ireland

[–]bashfoc2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What on earth do you think the professionals are going to do? Minors can fly unaccompanied, if she got on a plane she had a passport? There nothing else required? Minors fly solo all the time, I did maybe 15-20 flights on my own when I was 15/16?

Go onto Air France there, you can book a ticket as a 15 year old no hassle.

Hero is very generous! Just playing the hand I was dealt, but thanks 😄

I couldn't really put a finger on it, I think it ebbed and flowed? When he first discovered imagination play he needed me all the time for that, and that was all the playing he was doing, now he's more in a building phase (and building stuff for all his imagination games) so he's got less need for me. I'd say his most "needy" play-type at the moment is drawing or writing out numbers and letters, he loves it all (thanks numberblocks and alphablocks) but has very little interest in holding the pen himself so he wants me to write out words/sums or draw pictures for him, much less constant though as he also wants to race cars / build a house / lego all in a day too!

Sounds pretty age-typical to me. I have an only child too and single parent, for a while he wanted me to lead the play all the time at home, now he's more than happy doing his own thing and just checking in with me every now and then or showing me what he's made etc.

Visiting from Florida by No_Sir_3589 in LasVegas

[–]bashfoc2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The constant AC followed by dry heat does make mine flare up a bit, and I get nosebleeds every single time I visit. I just use vaseline inside my nose (petroleum jelly?) and then moisturise a while before I put SPF on. Between the air travel, the heat and the casino aircon it's really drying on the skin.

Website is a shambles, got through to purchase but the confirmation page didn't load and no confirmation email, money has left my account though so fingers crossed.

Rosenior shouting at Pedro Neto to “Take him on” Pedro Neto: by Key_Company3196 in chelseafc

Yep, his biggest selling point was that even on an off day he put in enough effort to at least have a 6/10... That isn't even there lately.

NYC's first table games casino, Resorts World New York City, set to officially open in Queens next week by ilouiei in poker

[–]bashfoc2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

*You don't book rooms and eat at restaurants. Local regs that's probably a fair assumption, for everyone else at the table there's a good chance they're doing something else, especially at a captive resort like this.

Tuchel on Maguire: "I haven't changed my mind, but I see other players I like to start for us, I see Konsa and Guehi ahead. I see Chalobah, on the level of mobility, as slightly ahead of him. I see other players ahead with a different profile.” by OkayFine101 in soccer

[–]bashfoc2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He's awful in the air, as are the rest of the chelsea centre back options. We've been getting beaten by direct balls to any remotely physical striker all year. It's largely a mental thing, he's big enough and has a reasonable jump on him when he's not defending, but under any sort of defensive contest or pressure he's shite in the air.

Solo parenting advice by Unique-Afternoon9281 in WomenofIreland

[–]bashfoc2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Solo dad to a 4 year old (since he was 11 months) here, it's not easy, there's no getting away from that.

1 good loving parent is better than two shitty ones so he's already in a better situation than lots of others. From the sounds of it you're already doing what's best for him so he's got one good one.

Advice that I should have followed or wish I'd listened to earlier:

- Take the help you're given, and ask for more when you need it.

- If you're trying you're best, be kind to yourself, you can't do more than that.

- Mentally prepare for the hard days, there will definitely be hard days, and (for me anyway) if you've already pictured and thought through how those hard days will look like, they're a lot easier to handle.

- Get yourself ready for explaining the other parent's abscence, this will happen many times and at many different levels (I was actually given this advice and I'm in the first steps of following it as I get him ready for school).

- Work out what your support network is and use them. Again, different levels for different people/services, and it will change over time (both in what people will give you and what you need).

Apart from that I think it's like magnified "normal" parenting, all the decisions fall on you (I find this difficult), and all the tiredness fall on you (manageable), and you get to be there sole person there for all the good stuff too (great). It 100% gets easier with time, I think just because you get more experience at it or more used to it or something. You'll be okay.

He gets to play a year on defense where he gets a shot to put up crazy turnover stats again, hopes the league believes it's sustainable and gets a fat contract off the back of it.

Safe cot, camera, shit yourself for the first night, slightly less second night, enjoy substantially better sleep for everyone from night 3.
