I had 2 out on the same side of my mouth under general anaesthetic about 10 years ago. I remember being in remarkably little pain afterwards although that's not always the case I believe. Nothing comes close to the pain one of them generated before then anyhow, so much better out. Obviously getting both sides done makes it more awkward in terms of eating.

[ionapaul]

4 out under general anesthetic last year. Bled horribly for about 6-8 hours afterwards. Was only given iboprufen by hospital, luckily a friend had some cocodamol handy so I basically slept through day one.

Was no pain after that other than when trying to bite, took about 5/6 days before could eat solid food.

Was grand, would do again.

Had similar-ish experience about 10 years ago, all four out under general anesthetic, taken care of by dental surgeon in private hospital, covered by health insurance. Five days or so recovery time in terms of being back to non-soup/icecream type foods!

My youngest brother went through the same procedure, in the same operating theatre, performed by the same surgeon, immediately before I went in - at the time I was pretty annoyed that the younger got to go ahead of his elder. As I was being wheeled in, he was wheeled out, was barely conscious at the time (can't remember seeing me when I asked later), looked at me and opened his mouth to mumble something; all I could see was a mouth full of blood. Nice chill down the spine right before they gave me the anesthetic!

[Mellor]

Very little chance, they barely have them defined in law as a concept yet. That'll have to happen first before they can be brought into the excise tax items (excise duty is the most likely way to attempt to tax them).
Even then the e-cig part is really just a battery, so I think it'll just be liquids that they go after eventually.

I would have thought that was the obvious part to tax. The active ingredient, the consumable part, whatever it's best described as. Are any unique parts consumable?
Was they actually talk of trying to go after the e-cig itself, isn't it like trying to tax a regular old tobacco pipe.

Anyone on here ever get Wisdom teeth extracted? Trip report?

Soup, Beans and Smoothies is the diet for the 3-4 days after so have your favourite meal the night before.
Procedure itself is fine, slight swelling for a couple a days and you will wake up the first couple of nights with a mouthful of blood due to the stiches falling out.

[Emmet]

I was woken up basically out of it with a mouth full of blood in the recovery room by a nurse. She handed me a tissue and I said thank you, accidentally spitting blood all over the place. She said "don't try to speak". I apologized and repeated the blood spitting incident. I then apologized for apologizing the last time, once again showering my chest and her gown in blood. Think this continued 4/5 times.

Drugs are good.

[CHDad]

What are the mountains like? Decent views?

Big rock formations. They go up and down and all over the place. Few deep holes sporadically thrown around the place. Full of water. Lots of deer, mad bastards. Very quick so no point chasing them. Nice mix of trees, grass and steep cliff types. Ideal for a photo to get loads of thanks on boards.

Sounds class. Thanks all.

Yup, I've barely slept since Saturday with it. Went to dentist this morning who said I should get the bottom two out or I'll just have a repeat of this episode in 6 - 9 months.

For a tourist it includes the €10 cost to/from airport, so highly decent in that context. Yeah, maybe not so much for dobman.

The confusion is you called it a LUAS card in your post, its actually a Leap Card so covers all forms of public transport. €19.50 obviously great value for this especially as it includes Airlink.
Edit: Slight flaw that you have to go to the Spar shop to get it as presumably this will be closed when some flights arrive. Should really be more available (in machines at baggage control maybe)

[Strewelpeter]

Isn't he from a very wealthy background? Hard to understand how he represents a lot of the constituency he just got into(Especially the areas where he would have gotten the majority of votes). Also his dressing down on results day was poor,scripted attire.

It was ever thus, Catholic missionaries Protestant republicans and most of all bourgeois socialists, the over privileged pushing their solution onto the deserving masses.
Murphy, to be fair to him appears to be a little bit less delusional than the real weirdos like Higgins and Boyd Barett

My Daughter is going in to get her 4 wisdom teeth out later this month, won't be showing her this page.

Going to be painful for me too, as a student she has a medical card but despite severe pain and other problems coming from them HSE won't give her an appointment just a reference to some unspecified date next year, so there really isn't much choice but to pay for it

I had one extracted in 1999 and I didn't get a general. I just manned the fuck up! I had it done by my friends brother who is a dentist at his surgery and it was over in 20 mins (including numbing time).

Best thing I ever did.

My wisdom teeth are not in my gum properly, they came in at the side of my mouth and they were compacted. I was told that I would need them all out. Once they came through fully there was no pain from them any more and I still have the remaining three there.

Made the mistake of listening to a dentist who suggested the pain would pass and ride it out a couple of years ago and ended up enduring a miserable christmas when the pain came back. Went to another dentist after xmas that year because my own was unavailable. He spent about 3 mins looking at it and said something to the effect of "WTF??? Your dentist said to leave that in? You have health insurance, the the fucker out!"

Only had to have one out but as others have said, the pain from the procedure and the following couple of days was nothing compared to what it was like while the tooth was still in

I went to my usual dentist with the same symptoms about 9 months ago, got antibiotics but the thought of taking it out never arose. Different dentist beside work this morning said pretty much exactly what you said, you've VHI so get it out.

Knew Paul reasonably well at college in the early 2000s as we shared some mutual friends. He's a genuinely very nice guy and is extremely smart. If i was in the constituency probably would have voted for him more because i knew him rather than agreeing with his political outlook but would trust him a hell of a lot more than your average politician. He is pretty middle class alright but not sure that detracts from his political leanings particularly as he's never wavered from them that i'm aware.

[LuckyLloyd]

There's a slogan and a half! Very good. Did you back Murphy?

Of course not, King was a shoe in.

Though 1 / 8 was too strong a price all the same given the fact that the Socislist Party have never been a total write off in the constituency.

[LuckyLloyd]

Murphy was a year ahead of the St. Killians year most of my close friends were in. Yeah he was parachuted in, but he's spent long enough campaigning consistently for what he believes in not for that to matter. Like Higgins on the Bin Charges, I don't doubt that he'll be willing to do jail time for non payment.

Should I be barred from running in Tallaght were I to take an interest in politics because I went to UCD, now live in leafy Goatstown and mostly have private school educated middle class friends?

[Strewelpeter]

Her other three are growing nearer to 90degrees than this one

Thanks. I saw that on the website but it's a waste of time going all th way out to the airport just for that. Gonna do what Martin said and buy the one card for us both. I don't see why we would use the dart at all and the luas will probably only be for getting to/from Heuston.

No way just pointed at you but:
You vote for a socialist party; you live in a republic and yet constantly use terms like this!

Why do socialists love putting themselves in small boxes?

You want to use labels for people, use the economic ones

poor
working poor
working well off etc...

unless you think we should have a monarch?

out for the day so will not get a chance to reply to your essay

[Denny Crane]

He actually does have a trustworthy look about him. Manic euro election posters though - must have been a few hundred different varieties of posters that spoke of a man trying to hit every single socialist button it was possible to hit even though the vast majority of the issues had nothing to do with europe.

Yeah he had horrendous posters alright, seemed to fail the basic bit about understanding the job description. Also curious about how one ended up here:

sigh. new 8% usc rate for high earners in budget. what they giveith, so they takeith.

Top rate of USC has been 10% for all the employment generators for years, keep up buddy.

[digiman]

Yeah mate of mine was renting one of these earlier in the year. €1800 is standard. Loads of guys working for Google, Facebook et al making €80k/yr with no kids, no commitments. They just want walking-distance access to everything without being surrounded by scumbags, and don't care about silly things like costs. It's all quality of life for them.

Having not seen rent prices in Ireland for 3 years now I couldn't believe how much they had gone up since I've left. I remember moving into a 2 bed in Blanchardstown in 2008 for E1200/month, when lease was up and recession really starting to kick in got him down to E1100. Then moved in 2010 to a much larger 2 bed with huge wrap around balcony for E1025, same places now are up to E1400.

Biggest shock though was that there was hardly any places actually for rent, have 2 brothers living in Maynooth and Sallins who both work in Dublin but can't justify paying the E1000+ rent that it is to get a 1 bed in a decent area in Dublin.

Hoping that the new mortgage rules of 20% to borrowers brings down the price of property so I might snatch something myself as a bit of an investment and rent it back to them

[NewApproach]

Barristers, GPs and dentists you mean?!

maybe what they'll do is all income above €100k is 8% USC no matter if PAYE or self-employed (so 1% raise for PAYE and 2% cut for self-employed). Not sure why they'd be bothered to reduce the top income tax rate by 1% if the new USC rate kicks in at much less than that. €100k seems to be the default assumption of fat cattedness

Yeah something like that would be fair enough. €100k is a bit low tho, maybe a higher percentage (say 10%), but kicking in at circa €175k?

Don't know myself but will it more likely leave more people renting as they won't have a sufficient deposit?
