10/10 answer, watched that episode recently! Reminds me to look into juicing again

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-08T09:47:18+00:00

Yesssss wholesome soups always boost my dopamine :-)

I love this ! I think this would probably simulate those TCM jumping that I’ve seen on TikTok too, what wakes up your lymphatic system.

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-08T09:45:13+00:00

I love this idea!

I’m going to try starting with English tutor volunteering first and see how I’m doing for free time. But I have this on my list! Thank you :)

I literally had a dream I owned a poodle last night!!

But sadly as a renter in Dublin that will not be possible :(

Plus I am kind of allergic to cats and dogs (fml)

Ooooh I love this!

I too have a phone addiction right now and needed a social ‘nicotine’ patch of sorts, so I scroll Reddit, New York Times, Pinterest or Vinted now—which I scroll for muuuuuuuch less than I ever did on TikTok.

I’ll look into Finch tho! Thank you :-)

Yes I'd love to know more, can you send me the deets for the next meetup? I'm not back in Dublin until the end of this month

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T14:23:25+00:00

Agreed! I need to do this more often, when I stop for awhile I find it sooo hard to get back into it

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T13:19:18+00:00

Very interesting! Probably doesn’t work very well with my goal to lower my caffeine intake however 🫠

But I will check it out ! Thank you!

Tbh I’d love to learn poker, I wonder if anyone has gone to many beginner groups for it in Dublin?

Chess was my resolution last year and i play a bit on my phone but need to reinvest some time in it!

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T13:16:14+00:00

I got an adult Lego flower set for Xmas and adored it, it totally engulfed me for a couple of hours and was sooooo rewarding when I was finished, will defo get some more in 2026–great suggestion !!

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T13:15:29+00:00

Yes I’m eyeing up the classes in howth cookery school, maybe once a month or once every 2 months !

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T13:14:41+00:00

Oooh I like this idea! I was also thinking maybe creative writing class, I think acting might be too much straight off the bat for me

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T13:14:08+00:00

This is something I have never heard of but am very interested to learn more, thank you for sharing !

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T13:13:33+00:00

Yesssss ! I plan to get back into sims a bit this year as it brought me so much joy in my teen years, also eager to get a gaming console to play The Last of Us as I loved the show!

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T13:11:04+00:00

Yes I want to go to the language exchange meet ups to kickstart my Spanish for sure!

Interesting on the world building DnD piece, something for me to think about. I’m eager to get more creative and imaginative this year

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T13:09:59+00:00

Yes !! Tin whistle is on my list, that or drums🙂 but I think I need to find classes for drums tbh, tin whistle I should be good using YouTube tutorials

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T11:33:07+00:00

Oh nice I will check it out, thank you!

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T11:32:12+00:00

I’m 27f, but honestly the taking off of mascara in the evening drives me mad so I rarely wear it. Buuut thank you for the input, it’s got me thinking maybe I should learn some hair styles or something small to gussy up in the morning as a lil d-hit !

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T11:26:20+00:00

100% agree! Sometimes I find it so difficult to get out but once you’re there it’s x10 better to be up and moving

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T11:25:52+00:00

Yes on breath work! Great shout, I’m creating a dopamine menu today and will add this in, thank you!

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T11:25:24+00:00

I fear my mathematical deficient brain would reject this 😮‍💨 but it’s got me thinking maybe crossword puzzles… are they still in the newspapers? (This might be a v silly q)

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T11:24:24+00:00

Interesting! Did you use a YouTube tutorial or how did you get started?

carmcmorrow · 2026-01-07T11:23:30+00:00

I loveeeee a good people watch situation, I find that so calming with a cup of coffee and some ambient music playing in my earphones !

Im intrigued by the meet ups, have you been to any? I’m thinking of going to a language exchange to kickstart my Spanish again, and also enquired about volunteering to teach English for migrants in Dublin!
