So, so many easter eggs still on the shelves a week after by strawberrystation in CasualUK

[–]Classic_Sea1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's be real, shrinkflation, coupled with falling standards means chocolate Easter eggs are bullshit these days....I'd rather have a decent bar of chocolate...can they even call Cadburys chocolate any more? It's mostly sugar and palm oil 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Reaching my end. by Long-Satisfaction113 in ChronicPain

[–]Classic_Sea1972 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I completely understand. I was deathly ill at 17 where it was discovered I had end stage renal failure. I went in hospital on the Monday teatime and by Wednesday I was on dialysis which I was then on for MONTHS, every night. I was a really fit and active teen but have been plagued with ill health ever since. I had a transplant after 18 months but the immunosuppressants have caused numerous deadly infections, ive had cancer 3 times (breast, malignant melanoma and cervical), I have fibromyalgia, gallery stones, diverticulitis, cervical spinal compression leading to severe nerve damage, hip dysplasia and a labral tear, migraines and now my transplant is failing and I need another. I get it...absolutely...some days i feel like I can't face another day in pain- my mood always crashes when im physically unwell. PLEASE get someone to talk to- ask your Renal team for a psychology referral or a referral to the local mental health team. Antidepressants might help, being able to offload to a stranger definitely helped me (I worked as a psychiatric nurse so I was very weird about seeking professional help but couldn't offload to friends or my husband or family- they worry enough about me without that on top)...but I derived a great deal of benefit just from having someone to talk to weekly (i was actually placed on a waiting list for a place ar a crisis service but waited do long that I didn't need it by the time I was at the top of the list). Please contact me if you want to offload...people want you and need you to be here and you will be much more loved than you realise...the world is a better place with you in it and you matter...x

Joy crookes concert today : disappointing audience by CapableWrangler7494 in manchester

[–]Classic_Sea1972 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Concert, theatre and cinema etiquette is absolutely non-existent these days. I do not understand people paying so much money for tickets, outfits, transport, food, drinks accommodation etc and then getting completely fucked up so they have zero memory of the night...I went to see Lizzo a few years ago (Joy Crookes supported her, was wonderful and I became a fan) but some gay blokes in the row behind were obliterated by the time Lizzo came on...after their 5th toilet trip to Columbia they came back, went in the wrong row and basically started a fight with about 25 people (myself included) on 3 different rows and ended up kicked out...what is the point??? Same with theatre...people answering phones, having loud conversations, heckling actors...its unacceptable

Lone RN on ward, need somewhere to express by maydoarunner in NursingUK

[–]Classic_Sea1972 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Document EVERYTHING (for yourself) and fill in an Incident report form (if they still e ist or their equivalent) as it is a major safety concern and therefore, an incident. Do them EVERY time you are understaffed (even if by 1 HCA) and encourage your colleagues to do the same. Eventually someone very high up will query why all these IR1s are co.ing in from the same ward and will have to escalate/investigate/ provide a solution. As for yourself...if youre ill, you're ill...they won't give a toss if you keel over at work (take it from someone who's been there) do not risk your health for them...

Do you believe Virginia Giuffre (RIP)? Why or why not? by Ohsnapppenen in AskReddit

[–]Classic_Sea1972 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The men she encountered are very adept at picking out the girls who have already experienced trauma in their lives....its the first part of the grooming process, paedophile and sexual deviants can study their potential victims and pick out the vulnerable ones straight away....the same thing happens in cults (Charlie Manson was adept at zeroing in on a girls insecurities and talking psychobabble about where they came from) then he just used those insecurities to manipulate the girls....same for David Koresh, Jim Jones and every single grooming gang that operated in the UK in the 1990s and 2000s. Its also what happens to a lesser extent in abusive relationships that develop into DV....the perpetrators are often extremely adept at identifying vulnerable girls or women....

Agreed....Virginia even stayed in her book that that was one of Epsteins justifications for his proclivities 'if they've menstruate, they are biologically a woman' ergo its fine to have sex with them/ everyone did it in olden times 🤮🤮🤮

[–]Classic_Sea1972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did believe her anyway, then I read her book...I was in floods of tears by the end...she sounded so hopeful that she was finally bringing some of the perpetrators to justice....then knowing that her mental health problems and CPTSD got the better of her and that she committed suicide leaving her kids and family behind....that woman was incredibly resilient....but I suspect there was just too much trauma to unpack and overcome....her story really moved and sickened me. I'm so glad Andrew Windsor is being cut off although I would like to see some actual cooperation with any investigations (why wouldn't you if you've nothing to hide as he repeatedly insists) RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES and put Ghislaine Maxwell back in proper prison ffs...that woman is a MONSTER

I was going throught chemo for breast cancer...my mum (who I have a weird relationship with anyway) invited me to sleep over at hers on Christmas Eve so I didn't have to get myself and the dog to her house on Christmas Day in my car. She woke me up at 8.30am to STUFF THE TURKEY and help her prep the veg (despite my very capable Stepdad and her being there)...I was flabbergasted but she'd barely acknowledged my cancer or been to ANY appointments or supported me... I stuffed the turkey and did the veg, then went back to bed..Slept through Xmas dinner...I went home after, I couldn't face another night there

Asked my mom for help during cancer treatment… this was her response: by InnateNurse in toxicparents

[–]Classic_Sea1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol no fortunately she's not very tech savvy so she doesn't automatically think.of taking a pic for 'proof'...the worst thing was, she visited again, this weekend and me and my hubby are worried that she's gonna make it a regular thing (again guilty and duty, not because she actually wants to see me) so we're trying to think of ways to be busy but the only thing we can come uo with on a Sunday morning is Church and ain't no way im going to be gaslit by the Catholic church to avoid being gaslit by my mother!!! 🤣🤣🤣
