I totally agree and I'm heartened to hear people trying to think outside the non-reciprocal box!

For the record I’m not American, I’m not sure if that’s relevant?

I’m so glad you found it when you needed it. 

Yeah, I think I'll stick in this area for now. It sounds absurd but this offer from the club feels like the first stage of falling in love. The butterflies, the idle daydreams about a future, the incredulity that they like and want *me* of all people?! I don't want to walk away from that and have to try and replicate…

*joins in screaming*

Exactly this, external reality is finally catching up with my internal reality.

Thanks, me too. I think your kinja name is magnificent. 

Im worried my lede wrote chequesmy story can't cash now but here goes...

Thank you Novel Solution, I appreciate the applause!

Congrats on the training!

With a husband like that, who among us could blame her for relocating?!

I had no idea about that heavy face thing but I want one! Yeah, I felt like a fucking king when I figured out what my triggers were, it’s the most effective weapon in my arsenal for avoiding them in general and halting them when they start.

You get to watch t.v?!?! The migraine gods accepted whatever offering you made them once upon a time. I can’t even look at a blank wall! But very quiet, calm talking radio is nice, as long as nobody raises their voices.

Oh I hope so Maya...once my head stops spinning!

Ok so this dude was having some kind of day and decided to take it out on you? That’s unfair of him. If you’re waiting for a person (rather than the opportunity to pay) you get the fuck out of the queue, right?!

The red bulls would kill me...the rest I would absolutely use to stave off the miserable fucker, and once I’d demolished them I’d go and have a lie down somewhere dark and quiet...just for good measure.

When my brothers and I were small and my Ma walked us through the fancy part of town she’d yell “DON’T TOUCH THE CATS! YOU’LL GIVE YHEM RINGWORM!” A kind person tried to correct her and she had to assure him that it was her kids who posed a risk of parasitic infection to the animals, not the other way round; she meant…

Oh that’s a good one.

Migraines = misery. Sending you a long nap in a dark quiet room or whatever else will help.
