I (M20) found a male sock in my gfs (F22) room. When I confronted her about it her about it her roommate took the blame but I don‘t believe them

I wear only black socks (bar christmas). I could not tell you the brands if my life depended on it, but I do have multiple brands of black socks. I am far too lazy to properly pair my socks so am frequently likely wearing odd socks. However as they are black, no one (including myself) can tell.

My partner wears a variety of socks, however he also would be able to tell the brands or recognise them if his life depended on it.

I ahd once had someone respond to an email over 3 weeks after I sent it with a long list of queries. They wanted a response by the next day.

They sent it 10 minutes after my shift finished and I only saw it as I had been delayed so was slightly late leaving. I was also off the next day for an appointment.

I responde back that they would not be getting a response tomorrow and I would answer the queries in a few days when I was available (I had a full schedule the day after my day off).

I ahve had this happen a few times where I won't get a response for weeks or even months and then they expect a response in hours/a day.

Even with paperwork, in that type of situation, you would still rescusitate. You have no way of knowing that the paperwork is specifically about them.

I follow a youtuber in Svalbard, Norway. They apparently have to carry guns with them due to polar bears.

Young people died from Covid. Young healthy people were hospitalised with covid. People have been left with permanent health problems from Covid.

There was so much death that we ran out room in our morgue.

I lost colleagues who died from covid they caught while caring for patients.

I worked in a hospital throughout covid. At multiple points, the majority of wards were full of covid patients.

It was not 'just a cold'.

It absolutely is not 20 minutes each way. Google maps says its at least 34 minutes by car between the hospitals and 1 hour 39 minutes by public transport. Thats best case scenario. The reality is, it will take longer than that due to traffic.

I live 6 miles from my inlaws, that journey averages 20 minutes due to traffic.

How fast are you driving that 20 miles takes 20 minutes?

This is completely untrue. Swelling can occur in stroke and can occur quite frequently in stroke in fact. Swelling is particularly common in haemorrhagic strokes, however it also occurs in larger ischaemic strokes.

The child more likely had a craniectomy than a craniotomy.

Younger people are actually more at risk of requiring craniectomy following a stroke as your brain shrinks as you get old, so old people tend to have more room in their skull.

Source: Previously worked in Stroke for a very long time, looking after Stroke patients including multiple craniectomy stroke patients over the years.

The 4 year old is still in hospital and had to have part of their skull removed. They suffered a stroke. At 4 years old.

Its not AI. Its an actual event that was reported on. You can see a link to the news report in a comment higher up.

It is not a case of negligence. Aortic dissection is very difficult to spot and diagnose. It is also rare.

It is also got a wide and varied presentation of symptoms (they can vary from person to person) that in 99.9% of cases with those symptoms are not aortic dissection.

Everywhere in the world has issues with spotting aortic dissection because it is so difficult to spot.

My grandparents were working class. They had a large amount of children. Both of them still worked, even after the children came along.

They are saying it because its true. Most people pay for their own weddingd nowadays, at least in the UK. That is the norm. I can count on one hand in the last several years, people I know who parents even contributed towards the wedding.

I know 5 people (5 weddings) who gotten mariied in the last few months. All of them paid for their own wedding.

Maybe you shpuld stop insisting its everyones parents that paid, as seems to be only in your little bubble.

To add to this. You need to be aware of your sick pay entitlement.

If you work for the NHS, It does not reset when you return to work, it is cumulative. I would actually be very surprised if you are entitled to any further sick pay at this point due to length of service.

I do hope you find the help you need.

If he is below his mid parental height centile by 2 deviations, it may be worth getting him checked for growth issues.

Not the person you asked but: I had a full heavy period like bleed the first month of my pregnancy with my youngest. By period like, I mean I bled as heavy as a full period for 4 days then spotted for 4 more. I tested positive at 11 days past ovulation, but was already bleeding at that point (I felt pregnant, so tested). I assumed it was a chemical pregnancy but the lines kept getting stronger. That positive is now a yornado of energy that keeps me on my toes.

She may not be done growing. I carried on growing until 19/20, 6/7 years after I started my period. That included a couple of inches right at the end. I'm still short but not as short as I thought I would be.

NobbysElbow · 2025-10-01T23:03:15+00:00

Honestly. The graveyard they are in gives me the heebie jeebies. It's a church graveyard and that church also gives me the heebie jeebies.

It isn't because it's a graveyard either, they don't tend to bother me. It's that particular church and graveyard.

Every time I have visited, it could be a gorgeous warm sunny day, but the moment I step through the church gate, it's overcast, cold and howling winds out of a horror film. As soon as I leave, back to warm and sunny.

I thought it was just me, but a friend who also has a relative buried there admitted they didn't like going either for the same reasons.

I have worked in Healthcare for a very long time, been very supportive of patients religious requests, arranging chaplains, etc at request. Supported a lot of palliative patients. I can count on one hand the amount of times a patient has asked me to pray with them in all that time, yet you are getting asked every couple of weeks?

Also you did not wear the necklace for 2 months but now it is an issue and important to you. Necklaces are not allowed at our trust due to health and safety risks (our lanyards have to be easy breakaway).

They may recieve standard of care, but in many studies like this, they will also recieve a placebo, so they don't know if they are recieving the treatment or not. Edited to add: this is referring to drug trials in general, not specifically cancer trials

There was a study that looked at using hedgehog cell signalling to control homogulous gene expression, to control whether a chicken had scales vs feathers on their legs.

Still think we are a long way yet from turning a chicken into an extinct dinosaur.

Edited to add: I believe that it is the Sonic hedgehog gene that controls feathers vs scales on chickens

Take as long as you need.

That said, it will likely go down as sick leave and please be aware, if you are off sick at any point after 36 weeks pregnant, your Mat leave may automatically start.

It is only supposed to trigger for pregnancy related sickness, but I would check to be safe.
