Can I be Omega? I used to have a dog called that.
Plus my knowledge of the Greek alphabet being sadly lacking, I'm fast running out of options.

A Greek Alphabetty thread! Now there's an idea! :rotfl:
Bags I be pi!

You have already allocated my choice to xxMU (we used to use the mu symbol on our company letterhead, back in the days when a high proportion of owners of microcomputers were of a scientific / engineering / technical background and would understand the connection).

Sigma then - the lower case version that looks like an o with a horn, rather than the other variant that means "sum", because 5ơ is the level of proof I need before accepting something as true.

Sorry Georgie. I was trying to be brief as the post was becoming quite long. That's not the way I intended to come across.

It's ok, it's just a bug bear of mine. I debated on and off whether or not to say anything, but I just felt I had to as it annoyed me somewhat. People's weight or figure has nothing to do with their ability to do their job. I just felt it had no relevance whether she was 'skinny' or not....she just sounds totally clueless anyhow!

I'd definitely go back and see a different doctor in the practice, and hopefully they'll be of more use to you and be a lot more understanding!

Thanks Birdie!

I've finally found a pillow that I like!! :happyhear: _party_ Might seem like no big deal, but when you've been through as many pillows as I have (and that's a lot!) it's almost a small miracle to have found one that suits! It's the right firmness, firm but still a bit squidgy, and most importantly, it supports my head properly. So thanks again to whoever recommended looking under the pillow case in the hotel....such a simple thing to do, that I never even blooming thought of, doh! :rotfl:

What is G in the Greek alphabet? I'll be that one!

Morning my Lovelies,

Funny night woke up at 3am. Not done that in ages.

I have got up and showered but still in dressing gown, Yes I know LOL!!!!

Bedding in the washing machine. need to go and re-make my bed.

And after 2pm go and collect my new digital camera from waitrose. I have a DSLR but wanted something smaller to carry round all the time. Looked on JL and husband bought one and we collected on wednesday. I left it and saw they are having a sale. So for one penny less I got a slightly better camera with sd card LOL!!!! We went with JL for two reasons one we could raise a few pennies for charity and also you get a 2 year guarantee rather than just a one year.

One question has any one tried hypnosis for there issues. I have tried the on-line ones over the last few days. So no idea if its working yet. but I don't think I can be put under. I can't seem to relax enough. I can't meditate either as I can't empty my mind. I dread to think if anyone went in there what crap they would find :rotfl:

Yours

Calley

Not omega then, onomatopoeia?

The thread etiquette will be reposted every ten or so pages.
........:starmod:......................................................................:starmod:.....................
Here is the suggested THREAD ETIQUETTE. By following this etiquette, all posters, whether new or existing, will feel safe, unpressured and respected..

- This is a thread for support. We have discovered some good friends on here, but we promise always to welcome and include new people, and not to be cliquey.

- People may make suggestions to help each other, and might even ask if the suggestions were helpful or have been carried out, but we'll really try not to nag each other or put too much pressure on.

- The normal board rules about sexism, racism, homophobia etc. apply, but if we are careful we should be able to discuss almost anything without breaching board rules - so far we have discussed subjects ranging from child abuse to incontinence!

-If someone thinks that too much pressure is being applied, they can post the trigger word PENGUIN and flag up the fact that they believe there's a potential for someone feeling too nagged to do something. ANYONE could post PENGUIN if they felt there was a danger that suggestions were being enforced too much.

Similarly, if they want to discuss something that might be a trigger for some people, then posting PENGUIN would be a warning that what follows in the whiteout might be a trigger.


- So, if you think something might be a PENGUIN, please post something like the green bit which follows.

"I would like to discuss something to do with [insert subject here], but I am concerned that this might be a trigger for some people. Is everyone OK if I post about that?"

Then, when you post, repost the word PENGUIN above the discussion. Then post the penguiny bit in white! And the phrase END OF PENGUIN when you have finished.

It will look like this. You will be able to see the white text if you highlight it or if you quote it, (so please don't 'quote' a post containing a penguin onto the thread!)
(Harmless example follows here):-
PENGUIN

This is a penguin. A nasty, crotch biting penguin (CBP).
It isn't really! So you can look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozGTv0hxhpc[/url]


END OF PENGUIN

(NB on a tenth-page repost of the etiquette, you can see these penguiny words because they are white against the green 'quote' background. On a normal post, they will be white against white, and so won't be seen on the thread.)

IMPORTANT: It has been ascertained that some posters to this thread have found that there are certain subjects which act as triggers, precipitating a worsening of their condition.
To protect these posters, you are respectfully requested NOT to discuss these subjects on this thread:-

Religion. (Please note: it is recognised that everyone is entitled to their beliefs, and we respect those beliefs. It is only because of the fact that religion does act as a trigger for some posters, that we exclude it from discussion.)
N.B. Please don't even mention the name of the religion.

The afterlife. The reason for this is explained in this thread by one poster, and there will be others for whom this is a trigger.

We ask and thank you for your co-operation in this matter.


.........:starmod:.....................................................................:starmod:................

It should be pointed out that if anyone is feeling very distressed or close to a crisis, they do not have to worry about what they are posting, or whether it is a penguin for someone else or not. In a crisis situation, just post! We wouldn't want anyone to feel that they couldn't ask for help in case it's a penguin! The penguin thing only applies to a general discussion situation.

- More suggestions please.............We stress that we are suggesting that we AGREE some Thread Etiquette to HELP people who might feel anxious about posting, we are not trying to IMPOSE rules, just relating this to facilitating groups, so that people feel safe and able to participate as fully as they can.

...............Thread Motto...............
