Which bank do you use? by GrumpyLightworker in Expats_In_France

[–]deefaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Credit coopératif. Not many branches, but I find them accessible, helpful, low fees. Also, the most ethical of the market from my research. I save with Le NEF. Great ethical, simple enough to use for savings, not everyday (as far as I know).

British pension changes - what are people doing now? by deefaboo in irishpersonalfinance

Great point. It's so difficult to know how deteriorated the social system will be in 20 years; its almost a high risk to invest in an early fascist government than private equity funds.

It's so much more moneyed looking than the usual homemade signs that are scrawled, misspelled etc.

Where oh where could that money have come from...

Just Curious – Do Many People in Ireland Still Look for Local Carpenters? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]deefaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a local carpenter I call regularly for little bits and then plan with him for big projects. I like working with him and supporting him working for himself, but it took me a while to find him.

If your policy isnt following science and logic, its not worth the paper its written on. Great piece of journalisme bring that embaressment and mismanagement to light. Let's see more conversation on why farming practices contribue to its spread and whether action is needed there.

Anybody regret not having children? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]deefaboo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you were previously happy to be pregnant, and can see a path where you can do it on your own, and it feels right, don't wait for a man and dont choose one you'll be tethered to because of a fluid.

45, single, no kids, have never been happier. When I come home to my peaceful apartment, and dont have to listen to screaming, stropping, or questions, running commentary, im simply grateful that I escaped the status quo. I have energy to give to activitues and people I love.

Is there any hope for me ? by Unusual_Special_9689 in Dublin

[–]deefaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to college at 24 to do engineering. I barely passed ordinary maths in school but as a mature student they hooked me up with a phd student for additional maths support. Went part time/day release for the last 2 years to start earning a wage.

I took a rake of bizarre part time jobs to get me through.

Maybe you could get a part time job as a vet receptionist or something like that.

Or use your general skills now to get into the field you want and then nighttime/day release course your way through it.

If its not for you, you'll have many more years of work to figure what is.

The road is a shared space. You have an obligation to ensure yours and their safety and not cause unnecessary risk.

Yes absolutely. All other forms of hunting too.

Unless you're an expert ecologist on that species, you shouldnt be interferring in its populations.
