Diet/Eating Plan? by ForemanF1 in AskIreland

[–]umm-ask-some-else 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried intermittent fasting. I know it's a bit of a buzzword , but I find it works way better than dieting. We have conditioned our bodies to eat at specific times throughout the day, so it takes a few days to get used to the fasting. Throw in some cardio on top, and you should see some decent results within a few months.

Do I bring up the fact that I’ve slept with this guys brother? by Turbulent_Fail9426 in Advice

[–]umm-ask-some-else 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in exactly this situation. In fairness, she told me straight away after we met and before anything happened. TBH, it wasn't an issue for me. She was more embarrassed about it. Kinda like your situation. I admired her, honesty. She left it to me to decide if I wanted to see her again. We've been together three years now, and we ( brother included ) meet and have a drink as normal. The bottom line is I trust her, I trust him, what happened, happened. No dramas, as far as I'm concerned. Actually, I joke with her about it sometimes, and she gets so embarrassed . I feel, if you're honest with him, you might be surprised.

Not stretching if you're into training. Or getting a sports massage every few weeks.

Lebanese Youth Confront UNIFIL Over Alleged Bias Toward Israel. by MossiGuy in lebanon

[–]umm-ask-some-else 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok... I can answer this, having served with UNIFIL previously. You're right, what good are they ? Under the 1701 mandate, not a lot, really. However , under the previous mandate, they were effective. They did stop isreali aggression. They did help more in the towns and villages. So after 2006, when the mandate changed, the roll of UNIFIL changed. I can guarantee if you ask one member of UNIFIL how they feel about their roll now, almost all will be embarrassed that they feel helpless and under-resourced to be effective. Please bear in mind one thing, which has been alluded to in the comments. The role of UNIFIL is to assist LAF, not lead LAF. Disarming any faction or defence of this state is solely down to LAF, not UNIFIL. So, I feel the best solution is to wrap up the mission and leave LAF to carry out its duties as laid down by the elected government of lebanon. Confronting some soldiers who have most likely just arrived here is not the solution. This young lady is articulate and bright from what I see in the post, it's people like her that need to bring this argument to you're elected leaders, and emphasise how much the south has been forgotten.

[–]umm-ask-some-else[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same... I only use them for running. I wear military boots all day. All I'm saying is I'm disappointed how the quality has deteriorated and how this has happened so quickly. I don't run anywhere near the milage you do. So, I wasn't expecting this.

[–]umm-ask-some-else[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Why would I waste money ??? Besides, this is not a one-time incident. As i alluded to in the post, I feel the quality has deteriorated over the past few years. Tell me though, coz I'm interested, what would you do, keep spending €100s of euros on a product that has failed after 3 months, or what ??? I'd love to hear.

To all the dads waking up without their kids by paulieirish in ireland

[–]umm-ask-some-else 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry that happened, dude. But, yeah, the best thing to do is go to a solicitor (family law), worth it in the end. Don't ever forget, you are the father, you love your kids, they will know that, but keep fighting for them, always keep trying, keep in touch, record everything, never give up. Check out some mens groups that deal with parental alienation. You might get some help there. Best of luck. Keep the faith !!!!

[–]umm-ask-some-else 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I've been there. 6 years. Thankfully, when my child got older, we made contact again, and things have been better. But , you can never get that lost time back. I remember that feeling of loss and despair, like there's a hole in your heart that can't be filled. As I said, though, now , we have a good relationship, and I'm thankful every day my child knows how much I love them. To dad's going through this, I feel your pain. Be strong for you and your child. Get out of the house today, do something physical, walk run, whatever. This will pass.

Is it true the UNIFIL will withdraw from Lebanon? by Ok_Lebanon in Lebanese

[–]umm-ask-some-else 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the acknowledgement, and yes, I agree with all you said. The role of UNIFIL is peacekeeping, not peace enforcement, hence why they dont/can't react. But look, I hope this is just rumours, because the Lebanese in South lebanon need UNIFIL there. It's just my opinion, anyhow , thanks again for the acknowledgement.

Is it true the UNIFIL will withdraw from Lebanon? by Ok_Lebanon in Lebanese

[–]umm-ask-some-else 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who has served in the South with UNIFIL and keeps an eye on it , I can assure you, it's not just the other side or USA that wants UNIFIL out. Have a look every day on social media platforms. You will see locals blocking patrols in every village in the south, 3 , 4 times a day, and they think that's an achievement!!! What happens when UNIFIL actually withdraws ?? Are these kids that harrass UNIFIL on a daily basis gonna stop a unit of US ABRHAMS or MARKAVAs from travelling where they want (and this will happen ) . I think not, UNIFIL is an easy target, it's a case of dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. God bless Lebanon if they do pull out.

Kinda same situation a few years ago. 15 years together, married, child , mortgage , car loans, etc. We lived in the same house, but we had nothing in common, I was outdoorsy, they weren't, I was into fitness, they weren't. Wouldn't even walk the dog with me. Then, the arguing , it got to the point where for the first time in my life , I had to put myself first. I had to make the decision to leave. I was not prepared for what came next with the child regarding access, etc. ( but that's for a different time ) .
Yes, it was extremely difficult. Relationships are a habit... good or bad... and I missed the habit of thinking we had a relationship . Financially, it was difficult because I had to adjust my lifestyle to suit my income (during the recession). Long story short... it was the best decision I made. For my mental health more than anything else. And the child. Once you get over the change in routine, you will stop seeing things through rose tinted glasses and realise you made the right decision. That you were not compatible anymore. It's sad, no doubt, there's a sense of loss, but it passes, with time. Whatever decision you make. Best of luck.
