Monster I am so sorry to see this. It's a bummer when people won't hear what you say, especially if they seemed to be interested ... Hugs from across the water for you.

Oh I was just being facetious with the last bit. It's hard to trot out the required "fine" when really you're not.
Into the lion's den this morning. Really I should just walk away at this point, but too many sacrifices have been made that can't be unmade, too many complex arrangements. I may be "throwing good money after bad". But I know that I will think less of myself if I just walk away, even though I shouldn't. For my kids, I will do it.

Does the NHS ignore everyone, or just me?
Got referred for an X-ray by the GP yesterday, was told the hospital would call yesterday or today... they did not. I tried to call before 5 but they were busy and there was no way to leave a message or queue... so I called just after 5 and they were closed, of course. Left them a message. Hope it made sense. Hope they damn well call me back tomorrow. Meanwhile I'm being a total hypochondriac over here. I know it's irrational and I need to quit worrying, but it's hard. The human mind is geared to seek answers, and we find an extended period of simply not knowing tricky to accept. This is why we have religion, and this is why I have hypochondria. Blarg. Edit: So I got a call back, awesome sauce. Got an appointment for Thursday. Will try to relax for now.

don't know where the designated "mock the homophobes" thread is, so I post this here. I can't really mock the four year old singing it, I grieve for him. I mock the idiocy of the irresponsible adults around him.
It's pathetic, really, teaching hatred to children.

Put some probiotics directly on it. Good ones, the refrigerated kind. Any regular pharmacy should have some behind the counter, possibly under the brand name Lactinex, but no prescription required in any case. Open the capsule or envelope and just pack the powder right on like a wad of chewing tobacco. It will taste like ass, but hold it there as long as you can. Canker sore will be gone within a day.

Umm. Okay, long time not been here. Just wondering ... where does integrity disappear and self-preservation take over? Been trying to negotiate a 'civil' divorce, only to see the soon-to-be-ex-spouse make $340,000 disappear. Nice magic trick. Does anyone ever successfully negotiate a civil divorce? Is there such a thing? I cringe at the prospect of lawyering up only 23 days from D-Day. Am I a hopeless, laughable idealist?
That's what's upsetting me today.

That sounds like a shitful situation ortho. Might be an idea to hire a lawyer AND an investigator if the spouse is doing dirty stuff.
