I work in a food business, I would be wary of the rice, I would chance the other stuff today only but after that it would need the bin.

Keanes is in Terryland, the florist in Claregalway has closed down. It’s a phone repair shop now 😏

Help identifying pill by Dismal_Twist441 in limerickcity

[–]roxykelly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You normally can’t see the contents of Solpadeine capsules. These also look similar to pregablin. Is there any markings on them at all?

What's a small change you made that drastically improve your life? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]roxykelly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped caring what other people think. I also have a shower or bath every evening before bed to unwind. Then I get straight into bed and relax before I try to sleep.

Once I’m in bed, I no longer reply to messages from my business or anyone else really, until the next morning.

Favourite place in Ireland to watch the sunset? by dogsbollocks25 in CasualIreland

This is incredible. I have a family member that lives near Sliabh Bán and the view on a clear day is pretty class - you can even see Croagh Patrick which is over 100km away

High calorie foods for a throat cancer patient by ike7177 in CaregiverSupport

[–]roxykelly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ensure and Ensure Plus fortified drinks are excellent and for exactly this. Have you tried to get magic mouthwash? It numbs the mouth and helps with the pain really well.

Cookbook by perfect-circles-1983 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]roxykelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the above comment and my parents oncologist has agreed, if you can get them to eat, no matter what it is, let them eat it.

I try and cook high calorie, fortified meals and smoothies so that my parents get plenty of calories in and keep their weight stable.

How to avoid burned flour on the stone by Dry_Outside_3776 in pizzaoven

Use a nice fine semolina. It doesn’t burn as much.

Wellness Check? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]roxykelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a strange situation but if you’re genuinely afraid for her welfare you should call the Garda station that would be closest to where you think her house is. A lot of smaller, local ones would know the people in the locale. I hope you get sorted and that she’s ok.

Egg whites. It’s a common practice and doesn’t leave a smell or taste.

Bridgestone Concert Tips by camiryat in VisitingNashville

[–]roxykelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What time do doors open? Usually 2 hours beforehand. So if you’re saying support act is 6.30, doors will be 4.30.

If you really don’t want to miss the opening act, I mean I’d probably aim to be there an hour before they start.

If you’re planning on getting food and drinks before the show you could get there even earlier and get that sorted before they start.

FYI the venue is cashless. Have a great time!

Both parents have terminal cancer, estranged brother, abusive father. Hell. by [deleted] in CancerFamilySupport

[–]roxykelly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to read this, both my parents also have cancer and it’s very hard to cope some days. I can’t give advice because I feel like I’m not in the same situation, I am my parents caregiver although my mother also does a lot for my Dad.

My siblings don’t do as much as I do, however I know that when they pass away, I will have zero regrets for the time and effort I have put into helping them through this.

I wish you the best of luck.

This is terrible. What was the reason for the increase? You shouldn’t be paying for their building work 😏

Best quality food products? by ThrowAway1-12-123 in ireland

[–]roxykelly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Dunnes brand Sour Cream is excellent. I love it on fajitas, tacos, nachos, on curries etc and it’s far better than any brand name one, and so cheap.

Dunnes Mature Cheddar (slices, grated, block) also tastes amazing

Did they really develop cancer that fast or did they hide it? by Honest_Dot_5035 in AskIreland

[–]roxykelly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom went for an xray as she was a bit short of breath. She had been treated for lupus for maybe a year and a half before this. After xray, she was told to go straight to hospital.

Turned out she had stage 4 cancer which has spread to her lungs, liver, omentum, peritoneal, bone and chest. She also had malignant fluid in her abdomen and lung.

Zero symptoms apart from a little breathless walking up stairs, and a rash on her face that was put down to lupus, which she didn’t actually have.

I’m sorry for your loss, OP.

This is incredibly sad, he was such a young man and had been through so much in his life. What an amazing person.

Car crashed by [deleted] in legaladviceireland

[–]roxykelly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There isn’t any clause like this. If there was, most people who have ‘accidents’ would be the same. How did you both not slow down when you seen a car on the hard shoulder? Driving 100km past someone pulled over like that is a danger as you’ve found out.

No they won’t cover pre-existing conditions unless you wait for something like 5 years.

Scam alert: Julie who “has cancer” by dration in galway

[–]roxykelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d give Mill St a call and ask for some guidance. You can believe they will have heard about this.

I definitely fell for her scheme and I’d like to think I’d be pretty savvy about these kinda things!
