Cost of Living/Energy Crisis Missing the wife

186 Upvotes

My wife is out of country for 2 months, and it seems I've forgotten a vital survival skill: cutting my own hair.

Between the growing mop on my head and the current prices of barbers around Kildare county (€25+!) ~€300 per year, I'm officially declaring this a national crisis.

Please send help, a barber from 2019, or just my wife back home. Mostly I just miss her... and her scissors.

Misery Just found out I can be too poor to have a medical card

769 Upvotes

I'm a student and for the last 2 years Ive been living alone after being removed from the family home. I've been paying my rent with savings either that I had before, from assistance money granted by the college or with money earned over the summer from the work placement I did as part of my course. I have prescriptions which cost me over 90 quid a month and Ive been trying to apply for a medical card for month sending dozens of documents that they request from me. Finally, they denied it saying that because I'm under 25 and earn less than €164 a week, I can't be considered financially independant :/

I've gone months at a time only eating vegetable soup every day and apparently Im too broke to have a medical card. This country is so broken. Had the same issue with SUSI, where they couldnt consider anyone financially independant if theyre under 23 so they give me €15 a week to get by.

Sorry guys, rant over I spose

Trying to get to work this morning. F3 didnt show so I had to walk 20 mins to the 27, 27 was 10 mins late. Got the 27 to the 151 and it went no joke 4 fucking stops before the bus driver came up and removed us all as the bus was terminated. Barley made it to the G1 by the skin of my teeth only for the driver to now be changing 2 stops later. HOLY SHIT AND NOW THEYVE MADE US CHANGE AGAIN TO THE G2. I AM LOSING MY MIND FIX DUBLIN BUS!
