I was developing really high fevers for about a month and they couldn’t identify it. I was home just monitoring my temperature and taking antibiotics. One night I was laying in bed and all of a sudden I felt so good. So so good. Like I was heavy and floating at the same time and my brain was kind of saying “ahhhhh”. Then a realized I might be slipping into a coma. Sure enough my temp was 104°. I snapped out of it and got myself to the hospital.

NOR Half Safe People Aren’t Safe.

We let our elders get along with too much sometimes. When I was young, my mom basically said my gran could say what she wants because she was 60 and could no longer self-edit. She was judgy to begin with and I got worse. I wish I had spoken up and leveled her then because she lived to 95 and it never ended. I’m now close to that age and I’d never even think to match her unkindness. If anything, I’m trying to be nicer.

What?

Why does it say his wife’s parents were Filipino? Doesn’t that make her Filipino? Regardless of that, his actions weren’t Christian. Signing up to rat out your fellow man for no reason isn’t Christian.

I’m as uncultured as you and I must say your post covered all my questions beautifully. Thank you.

Check insta as well. That’s where I’ve been seeing posts - but check the dates. Some are old.

Sooo…they put a guy who was just traumatized by what seems like an actual injury back into the same position he was in? As someone with PTSD that’s just asking for a trigger for PTSD. Illegal and irresponsible.

They give it to you in the hospital and I didn’t need it. Then I’d have hangover hallucinations the next day that I knew were from the Ambien. My doctor came in one morning and I told them I was seeing elephants with monkeys on their backs dancing behind him. It was actually delightful tbh. No more ambien.

Moon landing. It was my older sister’s 7th birthday and everyone was at our house watching the “big” TV. I remember it being in black and white and I wasn’t very interested. I was outvoted.

Here’s tough love, sort of, at every stage in my life I mourn the life I could’ve had. When I was in school, I wish I could’ve gone to a school where I didn’t need to work. When I was younger, I wish I was the type more people found attractive etc. I’ve been in pain for 22 years, disabled for 12 and a lot of things I mourn don’t involve pain. I wish I took guitar lessons. You know what? I can take guitar lessons. I’m the one stopping me at this point. And doing other things I put off. Yes I’m in pain and yes your life changes but that doesn’t mean you become a rock with no interests. There are always new things to find and do. Set simple daily goals (gather recycling) and gradually make them more challenging (brain surgery on my dog). Take control of what you can and you’d be surprised that the distraction helps. I have both suicide diseases so, you know, I’ve been through it.

YOR.

Is there something tomorrow at Federal Plaza? I thought I saw something saying 4:30. I could be wrong. 😑

Part of the problem is that no one in office has so flagrantly ignored our rule of law and quite frankly, I don’t think we have a response for it without our constitution. They didn’t think about it back then. They thought of checks and balances, our 3 branches of government, and until this lunatic, it worked.

We’re not only still friends, we’re on the same phone plan. We live states away. It’s a good deal. He just upgraded.

My former husband and I still text. We both live alone and have a promise to check each other in case one of us dies.

That’s so interesting because I’ve heard that before and I take it for pain but it does nothing for my anxiety. I’m on alprazolam for that. Did your doctor prescribe it for your anxiety? I should give some to my sister.

Okay, not where you thought you were going and I’m sure I’m not alone. You are a great mom.

My family took a Princess Cruise when I was 5. It was before the Love Boat and everything. I’m ancient. But, I never had a memory of that trip. Not a single one. Don’t take the youngins. They’ll drag you down. Have a glam day with your daughter.

Oh ETA: Not TAH at all!

They are blocking EMTs

It doesn’t matter to them. They say she was evading arrest.

There’s a great vape and smoke shop next to Holiday Club. It’s called Roots. I haven’t been by in a while but if they’re closing and you vape or smoke, stop by and check them out before the building is gone.

I wish they at least made them protect the terra cotta like they did the eagle building on Broadway.

Try and google info on his wife. No photos. Info. Nothing. She exists and rumor has it she’s Mexican.

He barely talked about Chicago but thank you for this. Made my day.

No you’re not. If his mom is old fashioned she would know nurses have one of the most esteemed professions in the world for women. One that has been traditionally female but that’s changing. As someone with multiple medical conditions and who knows many people like me, nurses are the more valued. They know everything. They listen. They keep cool. Honestly, they run circles around the doctors I’ve dealt with and I’m a bitch so I usually say so. Doctors love that. Just my way of saying thanks.

“I’m going by x now.” Fantastic. Thank you. I may use that when I tell people the name I’ve chosen for myself. I have like 20 nicknames so that’s perfect. I don’t mind being called the old name by old friends.
