you think living in the woods is a good idea
- I was up in the mountains this weekend and thought how nice it would be to not have neighbors.lemmy_k
- ^ jealous.mugwart
- Ok with the solutide thing, np, but... being old and living on the woods... better live near a doc ;)OBBTKN
- im english - the NHS will kill you!mugwart
- "the NHS will kill you" SMHfadein11
- you're British by the way.fadein11
- He's allowed to be English too — or is that not politically correct these days? 'SMH'Nairn
- I say this as someone who considers himself 'British' rather than Scottish or English. Or, better yet, a Lost Northerner.Nairn
- I still like to consider myself British and find it v.odd when people call themselves English. Each to their own though. Has absolutely nothing to do withfadein11
- political correctness for me. What do our passports say, what do you write on an application etc. The NHS comment was the bugbear tbh.fadein11
- It's odd that someone follows a pattern that was a norm for a thousand years? Is it as odd for someone to describe themselves as Scottish or Welsh?Nairn
- I find it odd that some English people seem to loathe their country so much.Nairn
- "You're a what now? A 'Geordie'? how dare you!"Nairn
- mug seems to loathe his tbh.fadein11
- I'm English and wot********
- tbh?mugwart
- I have a love hate with this shit hole!mugwart
- I don't have much hope nor respect for NHS no. I want to, I fucking love the idea of it but the practice ... not. Not sure if it is hate though...just distrustmugwart
- also in regards to Nairn, I get it but I've always been very anti queen and cooperation. 19 when most people get pissed and Uni i hitchhiked around Vietnam,mugwart
- trying to get an understanding of self and why I hate it so much but its too late to have me waffle on!mugwart
- and I'm forgetting what I wanted to say on a "signs youre getting old thread" which is not a good sign!mugwart
- Ha. Fair enough mugwart. I am quite a passionate supporter of the NHS for many personal reasons too long to explain here. I get it is down to personalfadein11
- experience though. I am not pleased with the direction it is heading under the tories nope.fadein11
- agreed, as I stress its the best idea. All chip in for something good for all. I only know one person that benefit rest got worse. Bunch of crooks and politicsmugwart
- its very english!mugwart

had a stupid cough and cold for 5 weeks and finally took a week off work - something i dont think ive ever done before
working through the overwhealming guilt of not being at work (the work ethic is strong with this one) and its bloody bonus month so hopefully it wont affect that as time off factors in to it.
works been really nice about it but my history with bosses leads me to believe i'll grt stabbed in the back at some point about it.
then again ive been here 3 years now and theyve always been good to me.
old habits and conditioning die hard it seems.
right back to coughing my guts up (8 steroid pills!!! fucking 8 of them... all in one go... im not a fucking body builder ffs)
- 5 weeks? Jesus, wtf. Black seed oil will get rid of the mucus in your body.Maaku
- will check it out thxtrooperbill

On Monday, I met with a physical therapist who told me the MRI on my knee shows a cyst, some damaged cartilage, that I was born with slightly angled knee caps which have contributed to this damage and damage to what I remember she described as a fatty blob under the knee cap. While none of these thing require any invasive treatment, my running days are over. I LOVE running. I've done it since I was about 14. I can use elliptical. I'd love to find a pool but that's hard in Manhattan. I've never complained about age in my 55 years but this is tough to take.
- Sympathies. That's a bummer, although you might find a new thing that you get into as a result - an opportunity, like.Fax_Benson
- Did the therapist suggest / schedule the MRI? I fear something similar with my knees but can't get a scan on the NHS.Fax_Benson
- That’s terrible, I can’t imagine the feeling. I love to run, it’s my therapy. I also go to the gym, but it’s not the same thing...dmay
- That really sucks man. I love running too. Can you do an elliptical machine?sarahfailin

when you sit alone at a newly renovated mac donalds restaurant, watching to the huge TV-screens and not just enjoying the content itself, but thinking more about who made this content, what strategic goals they have, their media deals and what opinion they want to awake at the consumer side. also watching lot of young kinds who also stare on the screens instead of talking to each other, but without all those questions before.

more and more people you know are dead.
then you realized this random shit can happen to anyone else you know who is still alive, or even you.- and now the only way to hear their voice ever again is through videos.pango
- pango, I know a great deal of trans folks who have committed suicide. one of the most heartbreaking news to get. we hear about drug ODs constantly, not sure ifnotype
- not sure how* the folks you knew died, was sorry to see this particular thread though.notype
- aint gonna get preachy, but hugs to you.notype
- Cause of death hasn't Benn released yet. Usually means there might be an on going investigation...pango
- Tbh. Od, self harm, suicide. amongst friends... I can relate. That's why I detest signs of bigotry and religious institution.pango
- One good news is conversion thearapy on minor is now banned in Canada.pango
- I'm just depressed for the last couple days. It will pass.pango
