Isolated Blurt Thread

[slyc_willie]

It's because I've been sick...it's not about craving, i want more than that but it's not staying down...

Sorry to hear that. Take care of yourself, okay? The little one's counting on you, and so are we.

*shrugs and isn't going to say any more than that right now, at least not on the boards*

((hugs)) Mrs. It'll all be worth it in the end.

Ok, so aside from The Samaritans and Childline, i can't think of anyone else that has volunteer- run confidential advice lines...?

I already looked at Nightline, and that's stopped recruiting for training this year...

I need to hurry up and get the BPS application put through so i have access to other jobs.

I need to email L too and ask her some stuff about what other kinds of experience i can get that are suitable.

ETA Stonewall doesnt have an advice line, otherwise that would have been a good choice too.

*sigh*

I find that a perfunctory "Fine, and you?" with a polite smile generally works pretty well. *hugs*

Unfortunately, I'm genetically predisposed to NOT be able to do that. My cells literally won't let me.

 

[McKenna]

Which one?

Decisions, decisions.

 

[TxRad]

Decisions, decisions.

Heads or tails


ETA: McK made me forget my blurt.

My three year anniversary just passed and I didn't even notice

 

[rgraham666]

You're a guy. We always forget anniversaries.

I feel guilty for blowing off classes today, but it's too cold to outside. I'm gonna stay home in my jammies with hot tea.

 

[Roxanne Appleby]

Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast (dry of course)


Related but not: I am so ready to give up on all of this...

Eeew! I was wondering what was so bad about steaming brats' with spicy mustard and sauerkraut. Although even they would get tiresome after a couple days . . .



Best wishes to you, papa-L and baby-L.

 

[carsonshepherd]

I want pork chops

 

[Tarakin]

Fuuuuuck.

I just slipped on the ice and busted my knuckles open. Blood and random pieces of skin everywhere. Bleargh.

Why is it always that part of my body that gets injured? I'm going to have more scars there, aren't I?

Ah, well, I suppose it is better than some actual serious injury. I still don't like it though.

Enough! Just hold off on any more bills for a bit, please!

I am so sick of being on the BRAT diet, but damn it anything other than that doesn't settle at all in my tummy...

Some Universities have help-lines... does that help you at all?

As I've said many times, I loathe the word 'statist'.

But I should be understanding. If someone uses the term 'commie scumbag', which is what 'statist' is code for, people laugh at them thinking them paranoid.

Nobody likes to be laughed at.

Glad I got that off my chest. Kinda disappointed in myself for letting it fester for that long, though.

 

[MrsDeathlynx]

Thanks guys, just having a really hard time with being sick right now which doesn't help anything emotional...But I'll get better, I'll take care of myself. Have time off with hubby today and we're going to relax and watch a movie together, something we haven't been able to really do for a while.

*hugs for anyone who wants or needs them*

 

[MaeveoSliabh]

Yay me!

 

[Ǽltya]

Bleepity bleep bleep bleep.

 

[DesertPirate]

Wife and I bought a new bed

 

[impressive]

Fuck! I knew this was gonna happen.

Mine doesnt and im sure i'd have to be a student at any other uni that does, to volunteer.

*sigh*

This is not a political thread so if you want to talk about it please start a thread but I will address engage further - this will be my only post here.

You make an assumption about what people mean when they use a perfectly valid word to describe a philosophy of governent, or perhaps more accurately an attitude toward government. And we all know the component parts of the word "assume."

"Statist" refers to an individual who has an extremely high opinion of the efficacy of government in solving societal problems. It is true that the connotation is usually that the opinion is misguided and not justified by reality, but that connotation does not necessarily apply; political scientists use the term in a purely denotative, "non-normative" manner. And even the negative connotation is a long way from "commie scumbag."

Eeeew! I knew I shouldn't have opened a PM with that subject line from a stranger . . .

 

[Misty_Morning]

Who is the hell is Michaelabbb?
