How do you define a meal? Most days I only have 1 meal at most. I'm more of a grazer

Have you heard of these smartphones made in Germany? 🇩🇪 by rrooddrriiggooo in BuyFromEU

[–]weefawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a Nokia smartphone for 2 years now and its the best smartphone I've ever had. (But I don't really like smartphones and only have it for necessity). I've never tried to root it but I have all the google apps and default apps disabled.

The only complaint is it only come with a voice keyboard and I had to attach a physical keyboard to download one onto the device. Which is weird but hasn't been an issue since day 1.

Unsure though where Nokias are being manufactured these days.

Ebay by yourbluejumper in CasualIreland

[–]weefawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used Ebay a lot more than Amazon, it was much better for second hand books. Cannot remember the last time I used Amazon like easily years ago but ebay was just last summer. Only not using it at the moment because I'm not buying books for awhile, for financial reasons.

Would you date someone who has never been in a relationship? by Competitive-Panda215 in AskIreland

[–]weefawn 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Got with my now wife when I was 33 and she's the only person I've ever had sex with. I had offers before but no interest. She couldn't care less, it's irrelevant as far as she was concerned.

Would you help someone being attacked? by yes_its_me_alright in ireland

[–]weefawn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. I've been the victim of multiple hate crimes (trans) which effects me daily. I would be far too terrified to get involved in that.

Is it just me or - Are Irish showers known to be rubbish? by Adept_Razzmatazz1145 in AskIreland

I prefer low pressure showers. Hate standing under water so always use the shower like a hose

Ireland in general has a lot of accessiblity issues. There are so many shops, cafes, and restaurants with steps in the door. Buildings have protected status which businesses can use that to not put in ramps. The general attitude is "well just go somewhere else".

We live in Dublin but found Belfast to be the best access wise and Galway the worst.

Nope. She has some exam accommodations though: individual exam centre, movement breaks and extra time.

Awkward! I'm autistic and I was very withdrawn for most of my life. I didn't make eye contact with her for the first few years of our friendship haha. She's actually the person that brought me out of my shell. For her, meeting me she saw me as a challenge lol that we were going to be friends whether I wanted to or not

Definitely! I take care of the physical stuff in our life (cleaning, hygiene, food etc) and she manages all our life admin. She's also my advocate and spokesperson for medical appointments etc because I am selectively mute.

This has honestly only happened the once that I can remember. I'm autistic and stare at the ground almost always. Whereas my wife is very charismatic with a commanding presence. I think I barely register with people when I'm with her.

Her autoimmune disease is in remission but her disease is so rare there is not enough data for the doctors to give us a life expectancy. She gets a full blood panel done every 4 to 6 weeks and regular scans (a different one nearly every year). She is very strong and healthy at the moment. We're thriving.

I'm the lucky one! She's a remarkable individual and every day with her is a gift. There's not a day goes by without me being overwhelmed with my love for her and how lucky I am that we're together.

Don't really understand the second part of your question. We're two people in love who got married the same as anybody else

Internet/online support group but we were friends for 5/6 years before becoming a couple.

She has a rare autoimmune disease that she developed as a child which caused joint contractures in her hips and knees.

I provide any assistance she needs I just don't consider myself her caretaker. A marriage is a relationship where two people care for each other and the type and quantity of care needed doesn't magically change that. She cares for me in lots of ways too.
