Hope all goes well miroslav.
Thanks.
You don't have a signature I can comment on :rotfl:
I'm off to bed shortly, but to get involved I shall start a conversation...
What is the worst song everybody here has ever heard (and if anyone says a Britney song, I will)
I ask as i've heard the new Pitbull/GRL song -Wild Wild Love and it makes me cringe :rotfl:0 -
lostinrates - I won't quote, so will reply separately...
I'll likely be going to Yeovil hospital - at a push Musgrove in Taunton.
I'm not offically 'graves' yet. She thinks it's a high possibility, but wants confirmation with another blood test which I hear back, hopefully next week.
It is a terrifying thought to possibly lose any of your senses. I will fight as hard as I can though - it is all I can do. The GP said I needn't make any changes in my life just yet, bar medication.
Good luck to you0 -

I stumbled across this thread a couple of years ago from the music threads in the Arms and found this a welcoming place.
I never thought of having a sig. I only got an avatar about a year ago when I somehow switched on avatars and saw almost everybody else had one. I based my first one (a black swan) on a Thom York song.
I dislike most music that starts with an r like reggae, rock or rap. So I oought not to like this, but oddly I do.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
Yes, i've had a couple of bereavements (Partner, daughter) that have changed me. I was never a bad person, but i'm now more patient with people.
Sadly, today I had bad news about my own health.
Miroslav I a sorry to hear of your loss, when you have 'lived a bit' it can make you more understanding of others.
Are you able to say what bad news you have had? We are good at listening.
NP listen to me a lot.
Edit: Glad you have 'said' what it is and hope all becomes manageable.0 -

There are things that I want that I can't have here. Culture being the main thing. The irony is thick, what with the culture secretary being our MP.
I'm not sure the reality would be particularly fulfilling. If I had a partner genuinely from sunnier climes, we'd be there already.
OH isn't exactly foreign - he's lived here since he was 5 years old, but he has very strong connections to Israel. He wouldn't want to live there (I've always known that) but he has close linguistic, social, cultural and family ties. Apart from Isaac, Aethelbald, me and his brother, he doesn't have family in the UK at all.
Both places are home to him, but that does also mean that neither really and totally is, he's always a bit outside looking in.Foot a lot better but I discovered on saturday morning that ditching the ugly shoe for a few hours is not a good idea yet:o.
No never been to the Scilly Isles, I think it's probably on a list!
I think they are an utterly lovely place for a holiday, but I couldn't ever live there. All that quiet isolation is wonderful for a week or 10 days, but would do my head in on a longer-term basis.
They are magically beautiful and peaceful, though. OH and I have altogether spent about 8 holidays there, latterly with Isaac, some on our own before him....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Ah, been to both but not for endocrinology, (thinks...yeah, pretty sure).
For other nice peeps mugs grove is where I was asked if DH was beating me.
I go north most often now, but am heading south ( through the Glovers town) for next appt.
Miroslav, the np help me a lot. On good days and less great ones. This group of people have supported each other a fair bit. You'll get a kind ear here, and soon feel you know all of us0 -

I moved a week or 2 ago to week commencing 26 may.
I'm starting to wonder if we may be talking the week after now (waiting for the last queries to be answered).Thanks to you both
I had intended to get more involved, but damn health and all that
I just hope my eyes don't go or i'll lose this internet thing as wellIt's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

I'd like some overlap, 3-4 days would be ideal, up to a week just about acceptable .... but any more's a complete waste.0 -
Been catching up.
Gen, hope all goes well today.
Masomnia, sorry about everything that's happened this week. It'll tur out to be for the best.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
Cheers for the support everyone. I feel a bit better tonight. I just wish something would work out for me for a change
the harder I try the worse things seem to get. I feel like I'm constantly firefighting, and I can't move forward, like I'm always on the back foot.
Michael, I remember you mentioning the job yeah, but as it was statistics based I think I'd better give it a missI appreciate the thought though.
