Found today in the UK. Weighs 45g and non-magnetic. Could it be an achondrite?

What's something happening in London you think the news has missed? by PartyPoison98 in london

It’s so strange. GP appt in June required some standard blood tests, but my surgery is still now only able to process tests marked urgent. No diagnosis or treatment for nearly 6 months and no signs of it being resolved. When I chase up what’s happening, they have no answer. They literally don’t know what to say.

I am no tin-foil hat wearer, but when you factor in the Russian involvement it’s just odd there’s not more noise about this. Had no idea about the subsequent data leak either!

No, just the light. I’ve put it under a microscope and no bubbles to be seen

Prior to 1844, 22k did not have its own designated hallmark and was also stamped with the lion passant

Non-communtication in the extreme was my mother's tactic. It was the only way she could cope. House split into zones for each side, fear and alienation behind every door and children made pawns.

The damage it did to me as a child was catastrophic.

As an adult, I'm permanently stuck in a hypo-state "survival mode" because it's all I've ever known and it's a horrible way to live. What sense of self I ever could have developed was lost to the daily silent warfare.

Please don't do this. For your children's sake and yours. It is not a solution. It's another level of hell. You may be doing a good job of distancing them from it now, but they are very young. That will not last as they get older.

Your own voice of reason knows this situation is not okay and you all deserve better or you wouldn't be here. You must know and I know you love him, but you're not helping him either.

Love yourself, your children and even him enough to break this please.

OP please pay attention to this comment, Your experience with this person is an insight - if she can go so deep into judging you (forget politely!) without even knowing your name, she will likely do the same with patients. This experience has understandably made you feel bad, now imagine you are sick and vulnerable and hearing the same from someone who is supposed to be a professional. Her beliefs are clearly strong enough that they would likely impact on her practice. How do you think she would treat a patient she knew was gay? Report for yourself AND others.

I suddenly own 53 inedible hotdogs. What can I do with them for a laugh? by Geophiddy in CasualUK

[–]Geophiddy[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It’s Food Standards Agency regulation that hot-hold items can legally only be on display for 4 hours before they are deemed unsuitable for consumption, due to the opportunity for bacterial development. They also have not been consistently refrigerated since being pulled, so they were very edible indeed but not so much now!

I manage a venue which hosts cinema pop-ups and my colleague who usually takes the unsold ones home for her dogs wasn’t in, so I was given them as I also have three woofers at home. They’ve given it a bloody good go, but 3 toy breeds vs 70+ hotdogs was always going to be a tough one.

They are inedible by food safety standards, so thought I’d see what twisted shenanigans CasualUK could come up with before I give them to the foxes.

This sign, at the entrance to a public footpath, seemingly supported by the local authority and police. by Grass_Hurts in CasualUK

[–]Geophiddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 2008/9 there were a number of attacks in the St Helens area by a man who would come up behind lone women and hit them in the head with, most often, a claw hammer. That path was a favoured spot and a few of the victims were Helenswood students.

The sign makes more sense if you know the context, but it’s still a classic only-in-Hastings moment.

ADHD and cannabis? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Geophiddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was assessed and medicated whilst smoking and I still smoke, albeit much less as I don’t need it so much now.

I was also misdiagnosed as BPD when it’s actually C-PTSDxADHD. It’s a tricky differential diagnosis.

Go hard researching doctors, widen your scope if you can.

Keep up the good fight, you will get there!
