Condolences and good wishes to Iffy.

Fuck the sheer batshittery of Brexit: Week One.

Yeah, I bristled a little at that too. But she goes on to say "And I’m not saying certain illnesses don’t come from genetic baggage and all that. It would be too simplistic to summarize and make it all about emotion", so I don't think she actually meant it's all just in your head. Just that sometimes, and perhaps more…

Was about to scroll past this because "goals" is basically a concept I don't understand, but I'm interested to hear how your doc is going, so congratulations on getting one step closer to completing it!

You're probably right, but I can't bring myself to upvote that post.

The "need reading glasses" thing pisses me off too. I use them as little as possible, in a perhaps mistaken belief that forcing your eyes to work as well as they still can will slow the decline, but with tiny print or in low light there's no getting around it.

Congratulations!

I'm about half-way through Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff. It's pretty good.

I have the same issue. Disabling AdBlock made no difference either.

I don't do sports, so I get to like him unencumbered by such concerns.

There used to be this thing called the Tolerability Index, which people had hijacked and turned into a weekly general chat-o-rama.

I'm unwilling to quite give up hope yet, but you may well be right. Not least because the Tories seem to think the way things are in America is just grand, and are happy to sell that shite to Little England.

Thank you. I live in Europe, so yes, I do (should it become necessary - I'm still trusting it'll sort itself out). I do sometimes grumble about how much my health insurance costs me, but anytime I've needed (physical) medical care, it's been easy, straightforward, and free at the point of use. And I never used to…

And yet she'll continue to fuck the country six ways to Sunday, because resembling a particularly deranged Bond villain is fine whereas looking weird while eating a bacon butty can end a political career.

Thank you, I'll do my best.

I've already whinged about it in the FTS thread - I'm just kind of undefinedly unwell - headachey, queasy, generally feeling crap. Annoying, but (probably) won't kill me.

Thank you!

1) Not great.

Been having the exact same issues re. Facebook. I've never really been all that keen on it, but lately it all seems too much. But it's my only connection to some people, so… yeah.
