Lir needs no encouragement nor discouragement. She makes her iwn mind up after deliberation. Then have decided usually do the exact opposite :rotfl:

Thanks for worrying, but what i do is MY decision. Not that of my beloved np chums, nor anyone closer to home.

Yes but..

Presumably you made the decision to go ahead before today and had there not been a non-medical problem it would have been over and done with by now.

So you are using the delay to rethink, which is fine if you didn't do enough thinking beforehand. But if you did think this through and reached a rational decision, do you have new information to justify changing your mind?

There you go all done now it's 115 They look very metal.:)

If they stick at it and it works out it's a great job.

My bro posted up pics of the Burning man festival up in Scotland (I think) which looked insane. He is on tour in the USA for the past 2 weeks but had to divert to Barcelona for the W/E.

I still haven't been to one. Maybe that's next years 'new thing to do'. I might do the Isle of Wight one, Bestival. I think you can swim there too......sort of Iron man meets Metalhead moment.

Middle son is the only one who really looks 'metal', the others look pretty normal...we joke they are the most un rock and roll rock band you could get. All A* students, never in trouble, don't drink, don't smoke, they don't even swear, always remember to say please and thankyou and all speak with very nice voices!

Last 'festival' I went to was in the early 90's...Monsters of Rock at Donnington.

I was thinking of a touring caravan - a friend owns a small site and often has people who move there for a short while - relocating, working nearby, newly single.

Electric hook ups, own "facilities" or the campsites. You have your own space and privacy with no one else to pander to.

I've investigated it in the past.... main issues are that I don't know my 4rse from my elbow when it comes to choosing/buying one. Then I'd need to get whoever was selling it to tow it there and hook it up

I was speaking to a man the other day, in his shop, he's sold his house and moved a big caravan onto a site - he said his August fees were £1500 .... so he must have moved onto the big big posh place for them to be THAT much!

I also know that there are some sites where you can stick such a caravan and live there, on the quiet/nod, full-time....

However - you don't have an address. You don't have a letter box. You can't get stuff delivered.... and there might be issues with phone/internet signals too (I am struggling even here in town, in the posh roads!).

Then... let's not forget my completely irrational fears about stuff like electricity, water, gas ... especially camping gas/cannisters.... so the idea'd be good if I weren't so hopeless and screwed up

But - not having a proper address and no letterbox is a major issue when it actually comes down to trying to do it.

You can! Of course, if I'm renting it'll be a studio .... so you'll not be treated with the swish of royalty that you might have preferred.



But, I would have time to get all the right beach gear.... so we could sit in comfort on the beach, with a little tent.... and be in the right zone (and tooled/kitted up) to fire up a BBQ at 6pm. They have many rules ..... do you know, I've discovered there are even three "no smoking" zones! Who'd have thought that, on a beach!

Hmm, nothing to it, then.

My main point is that NPs shouldn't try to discourage LIR from having this treatment.

it's a fair point, although if i thought there was any risk that anyone would pay a blind bit of notice to the drivel i post when making important decisions then i wouldn't post the drivel. i feel quite secure that the drivel makes no difference to anyone sensible, and if anyone does take any notice of it then they probably should be committed to an institution.

Tbh, i have not been able to do all that much thinking for much of summer. Everything was very bad for a while, thonking hurt more than usual. Losing sight sent me into a, um, blind Panic. (don't know why embarrassed smil
Ey will not show at that pun. Too disgusted i guess).

Today, after fuming and weeping what i felt was ...relief and a realisation that i have allowed myself to be very hyped up by people who have said things like 'by next week, by the end of this week, emergency, and blind' and actually...its been, what, a couple of months, and i am not having more sight problems, and i feel a bit better in my health and a bit more.....in control of my options.

I don't think i ever made the decision initially, just got swept up in a drama. Tbh, i have always been aware that there is somewhat of a borrowed time element thing here, and i think i felt it was coming to an end this summer, not because of pain, but the eyesight. I don't feel that atm.

A deciding factor to have it done would be if the eysight was worse, the pappiloedema was worse or the headaches got significantly uncopable with again. Obviously, i am not gonna drag round if a solution is available.


In the same way though i 'need' a veneer, i have not had it done yet, ruining functional not too hideous tooth seems counterinstinctive to me.
I notice patterns to the pain, and mentioned this tho the nuerologist who told me in no uncertain terms that that was wrong, i was mistaken or the pattern is imagined. The more i think about the more i feel i am the only person who can actually dedinitively say whether i feel something or not. I am not saying what i am feelingis necessarily a true reflectiopn of what goes on, but it certainly has the biggest impact on my life. E.g.....if my head* is bad but i don't know and it feels ok, i can do stuff. It it feels worse but is ok, then to me that is worse, i cannot do stuff.

Ultimately, i am the main person who suffers if i make this call and its the wrong one.

* head and whatever else
