Apologies in advance if I misspell your name, fail to use a fada, or otherwise offend via typing. I am often using speech-to-text and it is imperfect and not particularly Irish-friendly. I do my best to correct, but results are inconsistent.
What could the solution to this terrible problem be? If only we we're able to inoculate people against this terrible disease...
Well, this isn't concerning at all.
The biggest cause of deaths in Ireland between the 1880s and 1950s.

You may be delighted, as I was, to discover that the firstline treatment for spontaneous onset of TMJ is a cozy hot water bottle and a big fat Vallium.

Very recommended.

Day for the history books. On the macro level the world is in an absolutely perilous state. On the micro level I had two Menty B's, one panic attack, two valium, one beta blocker, and one 1-hour conversation with my solicitor cosplaying as my therapist.

Duffy is about as "left-wing" as Bertie the Socialist.
They can feck off if they think my left-wing vote is going next or near that transphobic, reactionary, on air bully.

The only thing that would keep me up this late is conferring with my mother and ordering shoes online to be delivered to her three thousand miles away, because she has suddenly discovered she urgently needs gold flats.
I have also snuck in some biscuits and a case of ginger ale for hydration.

Spent the day among incredibly enthusiastic #astrophysicists huddled over laptops, excitedly sharing data with one another. A great and timely reminder of how science is *supposed* to work.

So it turns out that they key to getting a job as a woman actor over the age of 40 is to be cast in the Mission Impossible franchise where EVERYONE is over 40 in a very transparent effort to make 62 year old Tom Cruise look less like 62.
