No choice or control where the focus and attention lands, it’s one of those giant prize wheels, inside there. Pure random chaos.

Wtf does that even mean. Can someone please eli5?

Of course! They’re super simple but they actually worked.

Standing at the sink, (or wherever) leg straight, lift leg backwards (keep straight). (Do a billion times, (I forget the number, 30 odd? I can look for the exact sheet I was given) but work up to a billion times slowly)

On floor, on all fours keep leg in bent position, but lift upwards (keeping knee at 90° angle) bend only at hip, till back and thigh are a straight line. Both legs. I forget how often, I’ll look for the sheet, but it was a solid block of time, 10 minutes, go easy though, work within your comfort levels and work up to more.

Both those above 3x a day for a good month to 6 weeks.

This one I found super hard, walking backwards for at least 10 minutes a day. And it has to be vigorous, I was told walking around my coffee table wasn’t enough. Be very careful. Do whatever you can that’s safe.

I also just worked on strengthening my lower back and core, too, after I got to a place where the pain stopped and I had good muscle tone to support it.

The physio person also focused on my walking pattern, you might also be able to find some info on that online. I know tiktok isn’t loved much but it is great for people sharing medical information similar to this, also. You could see what the algorithm there spits out.

Are the coffee grounds blowing up into the machine? If they aren’t cleaned from there after each coffee is made, it can cause a bitter burnt taste, could be that?

Sounds like your sacroiliac joint is gone. I did mine in by moving house and having bad posture, specifically the deep curve in my lower spine. I went to a physio they taught me some exercises that strengthen specific muscles that support the joint, to take the weight of the joint, off the joint. Sacroiliac is the joint of the spine and hip bones. Does it kinda shoot through the centre of one butt cheek, and lower back and seems to hurt no matter what position you lay or sit or stand?

Fool and his money.

Here’s an angry explanation / view of it. I like to think of it more like coming to an understanding of why a person would behave that way, so as you can forget them. If you’re angry, they don’t feel that, it doesn’t punish them, it only punishes you because you have to carry around that bitter feeling that taints everything. It can be seen as giving them power over you to think of them at all. Whereas if you can find an understanding, not letting them off the hook, or saying it’s ok, but just that you get why those behaviours come out of people, sometimes. Then you can pity them and look down on them, for choosing that path, so really, it’s just about flipping the power back into your hands.

After hearing from Robs daughter how she was treated and what he was / is like as a person, I can’t like anything he did, and it all comes across narcissistic and creepy from that viewpoint. It’s like a game of power but with a curse. (whatever that game is really called,)

He knows he’s too rich to ever be convicted of anything. He just bought a president and a whole country of his own. He’s drunk with power and thinks he’s invincible.

You’re taking the sentence way too literally, you need to chill a little, dude. They mean the ship she was due to travel on. It’s longer to say it that way, so they say “her ship”. Similarly, if you were going to fly on an airplane, people would say what time does your plane land? They don’t think you own the plane. You had a misunderstanding.

I think they’re just setting up a defense for all the illegal activity, so when they investigate, they’ve got a get out of jail free, card. Not that he would go to jail with the amount of money he has.

This whole Gen vs Gen bullcrap is a bourgeois distraction attempt. Don’t buy into any of it. There is no Gen vs Gen, it’s bourgeois vs proletariat.

I’m having a really rough time, currently. Too many neurodivergent needs, not enough hands, BUT! I’m excited to turn around what seems like a super tricky situation, into a super fun place of joy.

Life is gunna throw stuff at you, you can’t change that, and sometimes it’s disproportionately heavy handed in throwing the stuff. But you can be super proud of how powerful you are when you make the most of your situation. Proud of how clever and inventive and unstoppable, you are. This seems like I’ve been backed into an impossible corner, but I’m excited to show my kids how anything is possible, you just gotta get creative. I’ll find joy and I’ll fill our home with it and I’ll remind them how truly lucky we are. And then I will have handled this like the true boss I am. It seems impossible to get time to meet everyone’s needs let alone make time for self care, but I will turn that around. I’ve done more with worse situations than this. I absolutely have got this.

I’ve also been gifted a really good quality bike! (thanks Dad!) That I’m super excited to ride and improve my health (just got a fun times diagnosis of fibromyalgia, after asking for the last 9 years why I’m in so much pain all the time) but now I know, I also know how to battle it!

I miss riding a bike, I loved riding my bike as a kid. I’m so looking forward to connecting with my child self, wind in my hair (well the wispy bits around the helmet, anyway, lol)

I bet Zelensky actually got some sense into trump at the funeral. It’s been since that conversation he’s flipped his usual script.

All that 50’s “advertising” that was essentially social conditioning and oppression, hear me out, because all the women had to do all the jobs while the men were gone. They got a taste of freedom, their own money and skills. They were all like, how hard can it be, boys do it. But when the men came back they had to shove them back in the box, they had to effectively put the cat back in the bag, it required a huge effort of bullying from the government and all. Like they hit hard with this kinda pervasive stuff, everywhere. That’s when women were forced into the “get in the kitchen” role. Now we get to have both! Work AND be predominantly responsible for the majority of the house labor and child raising, yay!

Sorry for some reason my rely appeared here rather than where I aimed it.

They would frame or fallguy someone if they couldn’t find the culprit. Too dangerous to let us think we can rise up and overthrow our oppressors. Then flood gates would open.

Oooh. I love medical dramas, I seem to love to ruin them for myself by finding out what’s real and what’s not. That said I desperately want to know the details behind a real organ transplant, now that you’ve mentioned it in that way. Are you able to elaborate?

I’m experimenting with a similar thing, but with Lentils. Kind of a Dahl. I’ve recently learned about a mirepoix and I’m trying to meld it into as many things as I can. I threw blitzed carrot, onion, garlic, celery, and broccoli stems, in pot until softened, added tomato paste, a red chilli meal base I had laying around, seared the spices a little then, tin tomatoes, Lentils, split peas, (yellow and green), cooked till it tasted cooked, I have no idea. Added a tin of coconut cream at end, cooked a few more minutes. Turned out great, needed lemon, but I didn’t add that because a kid hates it. I also added Greek yogurt. Bloody lovely, needed more spice, but I have the spice tolerance to kill a buffalo, so if I’m cooking for other people, I try not to do that.

I’m determined to keep a container with roughly chopped carrot, onion, celery, to blitz and add to stuff. It’s been super useful. Seared it and Added it to a pumpkin soup the week before.
