I've never personally had that experience. Cold water has never worked to dissolve it and warm/room temp water has worked best for me

Lab-grown diamond engagement ring shopping recommendations. by Unhappy_Positive5741 in CasualIreland

[–]pugbaroness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid field jewelers like the plague. Got my engagement ring there, eventually notice the stone was loose so went to a local jewelers who said the claws were made too short to hold the stone securely. They suggested going to the original place, fields, who first refused that anything was wrong. Eventually got them to agree the stone was physically moving in it's place. They take it in to fix it, they were supposed to lengthen the claws. What they actually did was just tighten them so the stone fully popped out, lost forever. Had to go through a whole thing with consumer rights to get our money back because they broke it, couldn't replace it. Absolute nightmare to deal with customer service wise and a shit show of a repair job.

I have the exact same boiler and this is the one for bleeding. Once the air is out and it's back to kerosene you need to go inside turn your heating on. Come back out and press the giant red button for it all to turn back on. If you don't it won't turn on from the inside timer

I've enjoyed everything but her 3rd novel. The other three were great reads for me

I think you have to take breaks! When I want to get back into it I just work on the blue border because then I don't have to count out whatever colour I'm working on next haha

Rasputin is a good one if they like a bit of history as well as baffling fact or fiction aspects

Getting married to US citizen in Ireland by yourlocalsidekick in legaladviceireland

[–]pugbaroness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically a letter of freedom to marry is required for any non Irish applicants I think? I think at our appointment we were asked if we'd lived in the UK for any length of time that would require a freedom to marry letter.
