Having a crisis about my dress for next weekend. I don't think I like it anymore. I look stupid.

Ok.....headless pic and we'll be the judge of that!

Oh go on then, I'll go for Saturday.

Rushes into fort, replenishes ice cream selection, and rushes back to weekend away playing massive symphonic work. (Can you guess which? Clue: they don't come any bigger!)

Well, I had to google it.
Do you mean Havergal Brian's The Gothic?

If so, I'd never heard of him! :eek:




Edit....so I googled him! How come I've never ever heard of this British composer who wrote so many symphonies and who died in only 1972 at the age of 96?
I don't beleeeeeeeeeve it!

Just spent a morning at A&E under a blanket! Don't worry, nothing serious. I started throwing up blood this morning and have been told that I have to get it checked out when that happens. They think it is as simple as I have an inflamed stomach lining, the only risk is if it develops into an ulcer. So I am now taking super strength anti-acids and need to eat the BRAT diet for the next two weeks, meals half the size of a side plate every few hours. I can start slowly introducing ordinary foods in 5 days. If it still happening in a week I need to return for a camera down my throat so that they can have a look. Eeeep! But they doubt there is anything badly wrong, the blood is fresh which just implies my stomach lining is burnt with the acid and nothing more, all tests for infection came back clear. It's just an annoyance!

Hugs to all that need them, I shall now read what I have missed!

Oh dear, WaS! :A

Glad it's nothing serious.

Must google BRAT diet now! Sounds like food you give to petulant children!






Edit. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast!

Never heard if that!

I'm learning a lot today!

ThesaurWaS strikes again!



NB........it says not to follow it for more than 48 hours (unless under medical instruction) as it does not contain all the nutrients necessary to avoid being malnourished, but in the short term provides binding substances which help with the diarrhoea, and potassium.

Hahahahaha! I get to be a brat for a couple of weeks. Fortunately I already have all of those foods! Funnily enough, it's a diet given to children with upset stomachs but it works for adults, too!

Pyxis

WaS, don't forget to vote in the Outbreak Poll, see post above, else you don't get the chance to win the cream cake!

Mind you, if you win, you won't be able to 'eat' it! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Good job it's only a virtual cream cake! :rotfl:

Hmmm, tricky one. Me being me, I want to say in the next hour of course. I choose Tuesday!

Good point about the BRAT diet, Pyxis. Normally it isn't for more than 48 hours, I am only maintaining it for 5 days under doctors instructions. After 5 days I am to eat tiny amounts of food that my body craves, but nothing with vinegar and no citrus fruit for another few days. Thing is, I feel perfectly healthy now, I just suddenly get the urge to be sick and then I am fine again. It's just a nuisance actually!

Ok, so first off I have to admit to having piles. I was complaining to hubby that I needed the loo but darent go. He suggested I apply some Savlon to the affected area to help matters. He disappeared off in to the bathroom to get me some and then sent me in there to do the deed. Luckily, just before application I realised he had given me a tube of Sensodyne toothpaste instead!

I yell at him for nearly causing a titanic scale accident, so he comes running in to the bathroom .

Sees me standing there with my knickers round my ankles brandishing a tube of toothpaste and bursts out laughing

This then causes me to laugh, and I promptly wet myself.

My friend fairly recently told me about when she was pregnant with her oldest she had a similar experience.

She had piles and went to grab the cream for it and instead picked up SUPERGLUE without realising.. :eek: moments later.. finger stuck on bum hole...

I vote Monday!

Before I read WW's post above, I saw codes (was working up backwards) and knew EXACTLY what was being talked about....I read that story this morning and it really made me angry :mad: People like that shouldn't be allowed to own animals, not only that, she comes across so flippantly and so immature that I don't really think she realises the implications of her actions.

She says she loves animals, the whole article screams otherwise.

WW, I for one would support you in contacting the RSPCA. I don't know if anything can be done, but I'd like to think that there was. There's also this petition website too https://www.change.org/start-a-petition?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GST_USER_GBRT1_SCHT1_petition_gen&creative=48114332743&keyword=petition&matchtype=e&network=g&device=t

I don't understand why she hasn't realised she doesn't really want a dog and stops getting them. She is just being selfish.

I look after other peoples' dogs to supplement our income. I do like dogs and there are one or two of my 'clients' that I am particularly fond of. (Kuro and Logan, good boys both ). However I am well aware I don't want one of my own as they tie you down too much. Therefore I don't have one, however cute and cuddly they are.
