Congratulations on the engagement! From the picture, you two look happy and make a sweet couple. It's encouraging to know that two good people found each other in this world.
Blimey. It's a bit bonkers. People talk about that "when you know you know" thing, and I thought a few times in the past that the woman I was with might be 'the one', but this time I know. She is. _The_One_.
I'm very very very happy.
What's that? Did I go down on one knee? No way. At my age? You've... Read More
Oh, wow. Congratulations. I've never met you in real life, but you come across through this website as someone who deserves someone really ace. Excellent.
BRITISH GAS are fucking useless. Fair play. I've spent about 8 trying to get them to send me a bill for my gas meter. I really hate it when all i want is for them to tell me how much I owe, and then let me pay them. Grr.
APART from that things are ticking over well here. The NHS changes are pretty scary, but... Read More
"You don't need those meds, they're just a crutch."
Cor blimey, that's annoying when people say that. There's two groups of people you'd never say that to. People like diabetics; you'd never say "stop with that insulin, it's just a crutch", because we know that some people need the meds to function. But the other group are people who have (for example) broken a leg... Read More
Mental health problems are so misunderstood, even by doctors. Even by people who claim to be mental health professionals! I was given Ativan for a panic attack at one point, and later read that it should not be given to patients who have had psychotic episodes, which I have indeed had.
What's really bad, though, is when someone with a mental health problem won't take medication because of their misconceptions about them (which, of course, they have acquired from the people who don't understand medication/mental health issues).
I use Barbasol on my legs. That's a shaving cream sold in the U.S., intended for men with large beards. Gives you an idea of what I'm up against.
Edited because I've never heard of a shaving cream being indented for anything.
I'm echoing the reptile comment by rollerdisco above. Um, let's see... rodents have strong (noticable) odors; birds make noise; fish are easy but pointless if not displayed (indiscreetly)... this is tough.
What about a praying mantis? Or one of those larger, giant beetle-like roaches? (Although I hear that roaches need a lot of moisture or they'll dehydrate.) I don't think those need a lot of space, but I could be wrong.
I had a cactus called Git. he was quite enough looking after for me. have just found an adoptive home for him, because i can't take him with me when i leave the country, which actualy made me quite sad... in terms of actual pets though... you could go for mice, and then if you got caught with them, say that you'd had an infestation, but tamed them!
Hmm... shirts and ties, huh? funnily enough i have a plan for a photoset involving those, but it needs a quite specific setting. cross fingers for me!
Given the seriousness of the pandemic, said Health and Child Welfare Minister David Parirenyatwa, AIDS awareness should be accorded the same importance as any other subject.
They have a 20% rate of infection. The life expectancy is low - about 40 years.
Landmines are bad. That's pretty obvious, but I honestly thought that they were banned and that no-one still built or used them.
I'm wrong! The US hasn't ratified the anti-landmine treaty yet, and Bush has pulled back from doing so. Russia doesn't look like it's going to sign up anytime soon either, and they've got some really nasty landmines.
I'm practicing my handwriting. I write like a drunken monkey that's been smoking crack. And that's just been kicked in the head. So anything that makes it a bit neater would be a good thing. I should scan some and post a screen shot, but you'd all mock me.
Hope everyone is happy and well.

Hey Z, good to hear from you, I've missed you around. I hope you find a solution to internetlessness soon, I know I'd go crackers without internet edit it's bad enough I'm stuck on wireless, which disconnects randomly for random amounts of time
I'll have to check out the book you recommended... my psychiatrist recommended one that's pretty cheap on Amazon, I should probably just go to the store and get both if they have them. I'm debating whether to wait until I have a job before I do... the funds are running low.
I've played surprisingly few gamecube games. I've beat Zelda Wind Waker, but I have Paper Mario which I played only a few times, and Metroid Prime which I've not yet played. I've had both for months. I guess I don't have the same enthusiasm about gaming as I used to.
thats bad news
We need waterproof network points buried in the group or something.
