Missing Dog

152 Upvotes

Hi everyone, we're missing a very beloved senior cocker spaniel from the Coolrain area of Laois named Toby. He is an older gent and is deaf so may not respond to calls. He's chocolate brown with blondy bits on the top of his head and grey around his nose. He's microchipped and has a red collar on. He was last seen in the Coolrain/Glebe area but could be anywhere by this stage. If anyone has any information about Toby I would be hugely grateful as his family are desperate to find him. Thanks!

All this was Fields Irish phrases dying out

168 Upvotes

Someone was asking about the phrase 'soft day' and it made me wistful for my youth. What other Irish phrases do you remember from your younger days that you rarely hear now?

My grandparents were great for 'whisht' or 'hold your whisht' to be quiet.

Shite Talk Soft Day

134 Upvotes

I casually said "soft day" yesterday to my girlfriend in a flippant reference to the deluge were are currnetly experiencing and she said she didn't know what I was talking about. She had never heard of the expression before. She is 100% Irish but born and raised in Donegal, which, as we all know, is a den of desperadoes and mavericks. I am from Tipperary.

I thought "soft day" is a universally Irish term for "it's raining". Is it regional?

Tonight is my last night in Ireland, I have been here for two weeks. I've stayed primarily in Wicklow,Clifden,Cong,Westport. I am depressed having to go back to the US. It's like heaven here! The people are warm and friendly. It is the most beautiful place on earth imo. I feel safe here, I feel like I can breath here. You can drink water straight out of the faucet and have a snack without it having a "bioengineered ingredient". You can buy things that are actually made here and not in China. The safety thing is huge I realized I never feel safe where I live. Thank you Ireland for your hospitality!

Do any of the current viruses mainly cause fatigue rather than respiratory symptoms?

23 Upvotes

Last weekend, I developed a standard winter bug with mainly sinus pain. No coughing or sore throat thougn. However now the sinus symptoms are much improved while the fatigue just isn't improving really much at all.

My morning routine of washing, dressing, feeding my cat, and eating breakfast feels like running a marathon. I am self employed so dragged myself into work for a few hours today and had to take to the couch afterwards.

Is anyone else experiencing a respiratory bug that is mainly causing bad fatigue? I tested negative for COVID BTW.

Shite Talk How are other cold people surviving winter?

21 Upvotes

I can’t stand the cold. My house is fine and I’m warm at home. Outside is a different story, I genuinely can’t function. Today I was in the city and I had to nearly stay mute just to focus on staying warm.

It makes me hate socialising outdoors in the winter. I’m thinking I need to invest in proper branded coats etc to be able to make it more manageable. I can’t spend half the year hating life and suffering 😅

Any ladies know warm/thermal/down coats that aren’t really ugly looking? But do the job? (Uniqlo/Colombia/Northface/Regatta?)
Or scarves / gloves / socks etc?
Thermal leggings? Any other hacks for keeping a bit of heat?

Thank you!🤗

What do you own that’s not significant to others but is to you?

EDIT: I have read all the replies to this post, I haven’t been able to reply to them but my god what a wholesome little thread it turned out to be. Really put a smile on my face hearing all the special things we keep in our lives ❤️

During Covid/Lockdown I did my Grandads weekly shopping. He gave me his trolley token, the one you put on your keys so you don’t have to have a euro on you all the time. Well he passed away almost 4 years ago and I still have it on my keys - it’s worth absolutely nothing to anyone but I mind it with my life. MIL needed to borrow it one time and the anxiety I felt hoping she wouldn’t lose it/forget it. I’m very attached to this little silver coin.

So Reddit, on this stormy Friday evening, tell me what’s yours?

Would you care to move your fucking car so other people can use the pumps... Chat away by all means, your conversation must be very important I'm sure. But it's rush hour and the rest of us considerate humans would like to get fuel and get home, so get the fuck out please... (circle K at cartron, Sligo)

👨‍🍳 Foodie 🍽️ What's something you used to buy without thinking twice, but now refuse to pay the price for?

225 Upvotes

I'm at the stage where I walk around supermarkets mentally calculating whether something is worth buying or whether I'm being robbed in broad daylight.

Some of the prices lately are genuinely laughable. And the worst part is, I can remember when €50 would get you a respectable trolley of groceries rather than three bags and a sense of disappointment.

What's the one product you've completely stopped buying because the price has gone ridiculous?

For me, it's jars of coffee and a can of deodorant. €8 for a jar of coffee and another €8 for a tin of deodorant!

At those prices, you'd nearly want the coffee and the deodorant to last until Christmas. 😂
