The internet makes plagiarism ever so easy to commit. The journalist has copied whole passages from Wikipedia. Sad really.
Congratulations on the new member of your family, Goose. Remember to give Max many things to chew: carrots, bones, rug toys (sorry not sure what you call a bone shape made of knitted rugs). That will save the furniture. ;)
SH rules (the unwritten ones) state clearly that a person using these forums may not be:
illiterate
disabled
old
too young
need I go on?
My personal take is that everyone is entitled to the same things in life. I have met men on a wheelchair that I wouldn't mind spending time with. I have a friend who was born blind in one eye and his 'good' eye only works 10% and now he is losing it. I have known people who are hard of hearing and cannot hear you when you whisper sweet things to them but I have adjusted to accommodate them. I look at the person, not the disability.
Maybe it is because I am disabled myself. Maybe it is because my ex partner left me with the excuse that he couldn't go on living with a disabled person that I am more understanding and accepting of others.
Anyway, live and let live! What is not good for you, may be perfect for someone else and we don' t need to put every thread under the microscope and try to prove ourselves better than the poster. (Unfortunately, this is the trend lately and I am just wondering whether this is the reason some very fine people do not post any more.)
No bra. Bras can be positively dangerous. They have been associated with breast lumps, chuffing, allergies, and other stuff. Also remember the bra is a recent addition to female dress.
So OK, breasts will migrate south and nipples will eventually point downwards in heavy breasts - what's the problem with that? I'd feel more embarrassed for a man to see me having perky breasts due to the support I've given them and when he opens up the bra for them to drop heavily out of it and land on his knees...
When I was a child, I once stopped a well dressed lady in the street and offered her back the souvlaki wrapper she had just dropped. I gave her a brief lecture about littering whilst she stared at me wide eyed and openly embarrassed. My mom then told me off for causing a scene. There's no justice in the world.
We often do that in Greece, cool our bodies using the hose pipe or passing through the sprinkler system. But only after running the water for 10 minutes as at first it is too hot for comfort.
Sex in the water is fantastic but why confine yourself indoors when there is the deep blue sea...
Your post has brought tears to my eyes. You are such a brave woman. Well done for tackling 'loose ends' from your life or fears as you call them.
I hope to one day ride my bike again. Last time I was on, it was 9 years ago. Maybe one day... after my knees get a revamp, who knows.
Hey, when you have the confidence in your riding skills, go up a steep hillside and ride down without hands - now that is something, going at speeds of 70 kph with the wind whistling around your head, sheer freedom!
Oh Goose you got thatphoto on!
Not a good time according to the moon phases to be turning us girlies on like that. Isn't it true that women who don't get it when they need it turn to werewolves?
I assume that if you body was to change, so would your psyche - temporarily? Would you have any knowledge of what you used to be or would you feel that your situation was normal?
Just wanted to update you on my talk with the surgeon. He was taken aback with my allegations of professional misconduct from the part of the anaesthetist. I outlined everything that happened and he explained that as the chief anaesthetist it was up to him to verify that I was going to be safe under narcosis (anaesthesia) and the touching he did was just to feel my chest and see if the breathing tube could be inserted and alligned properly (because I am so fat and that causes problems). I felt like such a fool but pointed out that perhaps he should mention something to this guy so that next time he performs this kind of examination he forewarns his patiens and explains what is going on so they don't make more of it in their minds like I did.
I just wanted to share this with you so you are not left with the wrong impression. I hate being unfair to people and it seems in this case I have been unfair, so this is my way of setting the record straight.
Your profile looks alright - it is honest and clear. From the pics I love the one in front of your guitars.
Here's hoping you get to make many new friends here!
:cheers:
I pray you never get to need a doctor and cannot afford him. That's all.
I need a hug. Post-operative depression is setting in and to make it all worse I got an email from a UK consultant who I had hopes of following me up on my return who says he does not do NHS work on people who have gone private elsewhere. In other words he wants a piece of the pie, too! Why are doctors such s.o.b's?
I hope to look very different for my next social...
