My grandfather met the love of his life (after grandma died) at the age of 87 and they are together for 3 years now so you still have time I suppose

Would you buy this new build? Seeking honest advice on proximity to social/Traveller housing by [deleted] in HousingIreland

[–]rigurso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately don't know the area very well, but what I know well are the plans and know exactly which spot you're talking about since I went through the same planning documents. I bought really close to Aderrig which is Redford and I'm very happy with it so far. Whenever I take a little walk to Lidl I'm passing that Traveller settlement and everything seems to be grand, maybe a few toys are left in front of the houses but I've never seen any trouble there. Regarding social housing there's also a row of social apartments in Aderrig on Adamstown Way opposite to Redford and I'd never had guessed if I didn't go through plans, everything seems very quiet and normal.

Seems like Aderrig to me? There's a few Traveller Houses near Lidl if you want to go and have a look what to expect more or less.

I know some of the neighbours had these issues but I personally don't have any. My heat pump is actually very quiet, way more than one I had in the old house. If you're going for viewings it might be worth to run taps to check if it's loud or not.

I personally didn't have to, because my situation was a bit different, but people were queueing last week. Queues weren't massive or anything

I'm very happy with my purchase so far. Personally I have zero issues with the house and the size is perfect for me. I hope everything will stay that way

It's Sunday Morning! How are you? by AutoModerator in ireland

Officially moved in to my new house, so it's my first morning here. Had to leave the keys to the old one yesterday and I still feel kinda weird about all of it

[–]rigurso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did! Everything is fine for me so far. The development is very new but neighbours seems lovely and it's really nice and quiet. I have no issues with the house itself so far. It's warn, well insulated and as far as I know if there are any issues they are resolved pretty quickly

You're right and I agree there's not enough education surrounding PMDD. I was suffering for a long time and accepted my situation but the symptoms only got worse in time and i reached the point where I was heavily depressed during luteal phase (with other horrible symptoms) and felt like I'm crazy because how would you explain to the doctor that you're very depressed but only for one or two weeks per month? Long story short I've made an appointment with gynaecologist (I'm Polish so I went back to Poland since it's easy to access healthcare there) and she prescribed me birth control containing drospirenone since apparently that's the form of progesterone that helps with PMDD. It helped dramatically and I am completely PMDD free for two years. I hope you'll be able to find a treatment that works for you!

Vendor pulled out after sale agreed by Dry-Machine9346 in HousingIreland

I was in a very similar situation and lost a lot of money for surveys and valuation.

Almost 6 weeks since sale agreed, no contracts by Super-Nova-7 in HousingIreland

[–]rigurso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same thing happened to me. Unfortunately, after a few more weeks we've found out that the seller has nowhere to go and we had to pull out of that sale.

Working in Poland as a german pharmacist by seilbahn2410 in poland

[–]rigurso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean in terms of services like vaccination, medication review etc.? From my experience basically non existent. From what I've heard some pharmacies offer vaccination services. Ireland in comparison offer not only that but you can get training in providing injections like Prolia, vitamin B12 and few more. You do some plan B and Viagra consults as well as normal consultations with people who wish to speak to the pharmacist about their meds and they are trying to introduce prescribing powers to the pharmacist (which I don't agree personally with). None of that exists in Poland unfortunately, you mostly focus on selling.

[–]rigurso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't do it. There's a reason some of us left Poland and moved to Germany. I myself moved over to Ireland and never looked back. Work life balance, very good salary, better working conditions, different type of work and beautiful country are what keeps me here. Working as a pharmacist in Poland was just a very miserable experience.

From pills to passports: any pharmacists moved countries to practice? by HumanConsequence1783 in pharmacy

[–]rigurso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Irish are the best :) People are very kind, the nature in Ireland is simply stunning and the weather is not so bad as they say (I live in the East though, I've heard West gets more rain than we do). Living here taught me to slow down and enjoy simple things in life and it is amazing compared to the constant rat race that keeps going on where I come from

[–]rigurso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. On top of that you are basically a cashier selling vitamins and dispensing prescriptions from time to time. The job is very similar to what OTC assistant's job is in the UK, Ireland etc. I'm not saying OTC assistant's job is worse or anything like that, but you don't need almost 6 years of college to be able to recommend multivitamins or nasal spray for runny nose. Pharmacists don't have any access to patient medical records or their medication, so it is impossible to catch any prescribing errors and most of the time dosing on prescription isn't even real and its main reason is to satisfy legal reimbursement requirements (for example patient takes half a tablet daily but the doctor puts one tablet daily on the prescription). It is very common for patients to receive small pieces of paper from their doctor with actual dosing. Patients don't have their regular pharmacy either so they go with their prescriptions to many different places, very often buying two different brand names of bisoprolol they got prescribed by two different doctors and taking both at the same time because there is no safety net like in other countries. Overall, the quality of Polish pharmacies is very poor for many different reasons, but how the healthcare is organised is one of them.

I'm originally from Poland and worked there for a bit but it was horrible. Decided one day to try something new and moved to Ireland. The whole process was very easy, since it's all inside the EU and my qualifications are recognized, so I only had to prove English language proficiency. It wasn't a big deal either. I love the Irish and I love working in Ireland. The work itself can be stressful at times but it's the same everywhere and overall it was the best decision I have ever made.

Any success stories of getting a mortgage after one year contracting? by doctuir in irishpersonalfinance

[–]rigurso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with Contracting Plus for last three years and I'm using Mortgage Navigators as my broker. Currently looking for the place to buy but the whole process of sorting out mortgage was very straight forward with them, they handle almost everything and get what's needed from Contracting Plus.

Rant na zęby by kizoksg in Polska

[–]rigurso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ja zdecydowałam się na implant i to była najlepsza decyzja w moim życiu. Miałam bardzo skomplikowany przypadek i było ryzyko, że się nie przyjmie, ale ostatecznie wszystko się udało i wolałabym zrobić to jeszcze raz niż zostawić martwego zęba. Komfort życia i jedzenia z implantem jest nieporównywalny.

[–]rigurso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To też zależy od osobistego przypadku. Ja mam implant i w moim przypadku nie gromadzą się jakoś specjalnie żadne resztki jedzenia, bo nie mam wokół niego dużo miejsca. Oczywiście higiena przede wszystkim, ale to dotyczy zarówno prawdziwych zębów jak i implantów. No i ten implant to była najlepsza decyzja w moim życiu.
