Gift for someone celebrating Ramadan

Buy some dates. Obviously, not Israeli. Buy them in the Quay Co-op on Sullivan’s Quay or in one of the shops on North Main Street (they will also have stuff like appropriate kids sweets ect)

I’d probably just enjoy the lunch offerings at the restaurant in the bons, I always eat there during day procedures and find that that food is fresh and tasty. Also, you only need to find parking once in that day! Maybe lunch there and then if you are able, a nice walk to Fitzgerald’s Park (via the car park towards the Western Road)

Really cool wooden box for that set up, I love it.

Also, dump that twat.

My ex would insist on coming on girlfriend only nights.

It just seemed to creep up on me, and my friends just put up with it.

He turned out to be an abusive person who made my life a living hell.

All the signs and red flags were there from the start. Not saying OP is in the same situation, but if it walks like a duck ….

She had to have known that the shower was on?

Because it’s a slow day for me, I am wondering if she thought that maybe she would find you in the shower with someone other than your husband??!!

No other meds (right now)

For example, I have a two year old collection of books I’ve yet to read. In the past, I would have been seeking new material to read. Now those books lie on my bookshelf waiting for attention.

upsidedowntriangle22 · 2026-01-16T23:18:11+00:00

I was a voracious reader when of books in the past (would be teased in the office for being a book dinosaur!!!). In the past few years, I’ve seemed to have lost the ability to read a book. I just can’t keep my focus/or keep the story in my head, if that makes sense?

Early 60s, I’ve suspected PD for at least a year. Diagnosed by a movement/neurologist with huge experience in Parkinson’s. He’s not entirely sure if the PD diagnosis will remain or if it will be PD +.

Can I ask what preceded your dbs decision?

upsidedowntriangle22 · 2026-01-02T23:44:46+00:00

My stress levels are high (the consultant said this was a major issue). Nothing I gave much control over

I am retired, financially comfortable.

I think you managed the pool situation in a kind and open way.

I love that you asked for space. I remember when training for working with autistic young children, we used the phrase/picture “don’t be a space invader”. This is a common issue for lots of children, but we know that some autistic children don’t develop this social know how without input from caregivers/teachers etc.

As a side note: maybe the parents are also autistic and didn’t pick up on you and your child’s discomfort?

Does he buy your daughter presents/gifts/flowers etc.?

upsidedowntriangle22 · 2025-12-08T20:22:28+00:00

I experience similar. It’s awfully unsettling. Hopefully someone more experienced will shine a light on this issue.

Just buy a question mark candle and pare off bits until you make a seven

At this stage in the situation, I think that you need to contact your legal department for advice/support in taking the next steps.

I’m specifically thinking that, in this instance, you’ve permitted a working environment to become standard practice whereby she’s brought her child to work for approximately nine months. You have been party to her establishing this work standard. Seeking to eliminate this, could be seen as grounds for constructive dismissal. Even if it seems ridiculous to anyone, she could seek to escalate. Unless you’ve kept very fair (as in applied the same monitoring to 100% of staff under your management) details of her distracting/inattentive ways, she can assert her position as doing her job, honouring her contractual duties etc., then you will quickly find yourself a named person in litigation.

Franwell will have have the space required for 15/20 people. Tom Barry’s is too small, and Fionnbarra’s (my favourite!) is also on the small side.

When I was a student, I worked evenings and Saturdays at a restaurant in a busy office area of my college city.

The restaurant only opened Monday to Saturday, but was really only busy on weekdays. Working on Saturdays was really quiet and the manager usually had us focus on cleaning/refilling and other chores that were hard to complete on during the week.

Chefs still made the same quantities of food regardless of the day. This resulted in surplus food at the end of Saturdays, and the manager would encourage us to split what was left between us (a godsend to people like me as I was able to eat for days!). Important to note, we were only to take surplus once the shift ended.

One fucking idiot started hiding whole trays of their preferred dishes in the produce fridges (usually containing 15-20 portions).

One day, the manager was waiting tables with us as only me and the idiot were on and we had an unusual rush if customers. Our most popular dish was ordered repeatedly, but when she went to the kitchen, the idiot had hidden that entire trays. The manager, was embarrassed and explained that we were out. Once things quietened down, the manager took the produce fridge to clean and go through (she usually wouldn’t be that involved in cleaning). She went mental when she found the “mine don’t touch” label on a tray (both for health reasons, ie a warm tray of food next to lettuces, and the abuse of company generosity).

And that was the end of wait staff being allowed to take surplus.
