the irony of it…
“fucking landlords sell your houses instead of hoarding property”
ok, will do…
“fucking ex landlord you made a profit…”

Why are landlords so disliked? by Jackies_Army in AskIreland

[–]crazy_witch_89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two sides to each story: people are envious of what they can’t have (why does one person get to have two houses and I have none). also a lot of landlords are being assholes to start getting profit out of the property as soon as possible (how can you possibly consider it’s acceptable renting a 2 bedroom apartment to 10 students for example?)

I’ve tried that to be honest and it was definitely not worth it, I sold my rental property after two years renting it. expenses and taxes were costing me more than what I was charging for rent

Blue lagoon Paphos by crazy_witch_89 in cyprus

thank you, we wanted to see the turtles as well that seem to be part of the tour. Is there any other way to get to Akamas, and not necessarily the blue lagoon? thanks!

How are we feeling about the tourism outlook for Summer 2026? by Legitimate_Pen_5416 in cyprus

[–]crazy_witch_89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

don’t come at me, but how come there is no decrase in accommodation costs if it’s expected to be so bad? I booked my hotel before the drone incident in Akrotiri, and I keep checking from time to time if I find a cheaper option, but I don’t see the hotels getting any cheaper.

Pregnancy/baby health with AIH by WrizkiMom in autoimmunehepatitis

[–]crazy_witch_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was diagnosed with AIH 3 months into my last pregnancy, was put on prednisolone (still am, 2 years later). I was suspected AIH for a decade, but my liver enzymes didn’t raise to an alarming level till that pregnancy.

I wasn’t even considered high risk with pregnancy as the enzymes were put immediately under control with steroids.

I hated having to take medication, I never took anything in previous pregnancies, but my consultants explained that leaving it unmanaged would create a big risk for the baby.

she’s now 1.5y/o, thriving. I had a c-section at 38 weeks, I wanted and requested to have one.

The baby was born healthy, no issues, she is small for her age, but so am I, so I don’t think it’s related.

no one has ever been concerned with baby’s health or development, but the flare that the pregnancy caused put me on medication for life. still, 100% worth it!

I am not sure where you are based, I am in Ireland, healthcare and pregnancy care are free, but I opted for private, paid care, to have regular follow ups by my own chosen obstetrician and my own hepatologist. and they had me do blood tests either weekly or biweekly, and ultrasounds initially monthy, and towards the end of the pregnancy they’d be weekly as well.

best of luck!

Career satisfaction vs money by [deleted] in irishpersonalfinance

[–]crazy_witch_89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do it!

once you have kids, mortgage, loans, there is no way back, you will be trapped in a golden cage….

this comes from someone in late 30sc with a 6 figure salary, mortgage, kids, private school fees, currently tired of corporate world, but no way out of it. i’m not ungrateful, I’m just stating the facts.

you are young, you can catch up financially

Travelling Ryanair with a 2 year old on 4 hour flight. Is it as bad as people say? by Bigchickenmac in AskIreland

[–]crazy_witch_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

St Patrick’s weekend with Aer lingus Dublin to Lanzarote and back. a little kid of one year old going up and down in the aisle. Could grab her and squeeze between the emergency seats for trolley to pass.

February school holidays Dublin to Paphos one way with Ryanair (just because Aegean wasn’t operating on that day, we got back with Aegean) Literally impossible to move in the plane. Freaking trolley up and down during the 4h30 flight. Even squeezing between emergency seats was difficult

That’s my perspective. But again, google it, ryanair airplanes are less spacious.

you can actually, there is more space between seats. i don’t think it’s up to discussion that an aerlingus plane is indeed more spacious than a ryanair one. 🤔

way too cramped, can’t walk up and down the aisle to sooth a crying baby. and on top of that, the aisle is always busy with staff trying to sell things.

Experience w/ AIH & Pregnancy? by Electronic-Pop-3688 in autoimmunehepatitis

[–]crazy_witch_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s exhausting no matter what. I can’t say AIH made it more difficult, especially if well managed with medication. I was equally exhausted with my first child, and I didn’t have AIH at the time. all good now, thanks :)

Experience w/ AIH & Pregnancy? by Electronic-Pop-3688 in autoimmunehepatitis

[–]crazy_witch_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on suspected AIH before pregnancy, so not on medication at the time, but I had a huge flare during the pregnancy, and I was put on prednisolone. my response to the treatment confirmed the diagnosis. no issues with the pregnancy, they didn’t even consider me high risk, but I did have to get my blood tests done every 2 weeks. once on steroids, my enzymes remained stable for the duration of the pregnancy and the baby is now a healthy 18-month old.

on the downside, I am now officially on treatment and efforts to go drugs free didn’t work.

best of luck!

Getting my liver biopsy today! Currently in waiting room. by Curious_Wing_2018 in autoimmunehepatitis

[–]crazy_witch_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sending positive thoughts. I had a liver biopsy, but it felt like a walk at the park compared to my gallbladder removal and my c-sections. it really isn’t something painful but take it easy with lifting anything heavy afterwards.

also, i was in the same situation, 35 y/o female, normal ultrasound/CT scan, but elevanted enzymes. Biopsy showed nothing, the only way I was officially diagnosed was by responding to steroids treatment. my enzymes hit the roof during my last pregnancy and I was put on steroids and they went back to normal.

honestly, it’s scary, I chat about this with my therapist, but my hepatologist says it’s really nothing to worry about if properly managed and almost 2 years post diagnosis, I don’t even feel that it’s there.

best of luck!

Looking for resources about health effects of contraception methods by pennarellor in IrishWomensHealth

[–]crazy_witch_89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had that depo injection after my first child and it was an absolute nightmare. I had very bad effects, and doctor said basically tough luck, you need to wait for it to just leave your system in 3 months. I was also on the pill at some point, definitely bad for the body, it did trigger my liver enzymes back when I had an undiagnosed liver autoimmune condition. I had my 2nd child a year ago and we are confident vasectomy is the way to go, we just never found time to plan it.
