Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Yes in the 60's they said we would all die young if we took drugs and they were not the hard stuff just tablets .Now they recognize that hash can be of help to some .The fear factor .
In many countries its legal. I read somewhere that a UK band on a North Anerican tour had it available pre concert in their dressing room in Canada, in much the same way that they provide beers or scotch here in the UK.
 

Morning all . I’m making a tentative return to GOT after a four week absence. Mrs bl developed severe pain in her side four weeks ago and we ended up going via NHS 111, on call GP , hospital A&E , admittance to A&E Ward on a trolley in the corridor at 1.30 am in the morning. She had a severe kidney infection/ sepsis which they struggled to get on top of . Really she saw the best of the NHS, good doctors and nurses, and the worst , no beds, lost notes setting her treatment back, scans that failed to happen, repeated inability to get bloods/ cannula into her arms leaving her literally black and blue , undertrained/ overworked staff . Appalling really how underfunded the NHS is , this is not a thread for political comment so I’ll confine it to “ Paul Mullin’s boots” . Thankfully they eventually reduced her infection markers sufficiently via IV antibiotics to allow her home , and she’s making slow progress now.

Life was really hectic for a few weeks, twice a day hospital visits, keeping family and friends updated etc , so I had no time to post on GOT. And to be honest I didn’t miss it and wondered if I’d return again. When I did pop in it struck me how negative most of the threads are. I sponsor the Chermiti thread , a 19 year old moving to another country, trying to progress but all I saw when I looked in was the same people repeating the same negative comments. I didn’t need that level of negativity in my life so avoided GOT, but kept up with what was going on Everton wise. My own BP has been sky high the past few weeks, lack of sleep etc hasn’t helped , so it may be a tentative return .
Sorry I’m late to comment, and I’m so sorry to hear about your wife, it must have been so difficult for you and I do hope she is continuing to recover from a horrible illness. You don’t need negativity in your life right now but it would be sad for us if you didn’t pop in and comment. I send you both very best wishes 💙
 
Sorry to hear about your wife and hope she makes a full recovery. I have just had two bouts of debilitating pain in the rhs lower back kidney area, very sharp pain making any kind of movement painful. Laying on my back or side and it goes. Saw the doctor yesterday who prodded and poked around and she said she doesn’t think it’s the kidney but let’s let it settle down and see how it is over the next two weeks. I can well imagine the pain your wife went through.

On the football negativity front, yes it’s all doom and gloom, best just to look in to the New Ground thread. I used to spend time debating in the CA forum but the intolerance of differing opinions and echo chamber effect just adds to the football gloom………
Hope you’re on the mend, kidney pain is so painful 💙
 
Hi folks. We have just accepted an offer on my Dad's house. A couple of doctors (one's a psychiatrist) with a 2 yr old son. They have an apartment in town which they are going to re-mortgage and rent out. So, no chain. I'm so happy that the house will once again be a family home because it is a lovely house in a nice place.
Not much else to report - a weekend of overtime beckons. Have a good one whatever you are doing.
Hope you’re not working too hard, good news about your dad’s house
 
Morning all, it’s a bit dull today, literally and metaphorically. After last weekend this one was always going to be a bit meh. Enjoy your weekend @Val P and safe travels. Good news about the house sale @anjelikaferrett, hope all goes through smoothly. I’m off to the shops when I can get my backside into gear. Have a good day, all.💙
Thank you- the weather has been glorious here, been sat outside of a bar in a sleeveless top catching some rays - brilliant at 21 degrees.

Pot has been legal over here in Canada since 2018, loads of pot stores are closing down as the market got saturated with pot shops,

Apparently from my pot smoking mates it’s less than half the price for them to buy if from their dealer,

Thank Val, and Jazzy earlier, and others , Mrs bl is progressing slowly but nicely . I suspect in the midst of things it was 100 mph trying to do everything and looking back it no doubt stressed me , and mu usual resilience was missing. I think I’ll just keep to a few threads for a while , this one of course 🙂
