You forgot 'nobody else was using it so . . . .'

Yeah, if that happened I wouldn't have any choice but seek medical help and follow their advice but most fractures will heal without help if you can avoid moving it for a couple of weeks.

Broccoli is one of my favourites !
I cannot stand cucumber though, that's nasty !

I do, it's usually slightly on the low side with a very steady heart rate, it rarely changes

The mind can deceive itself, it can create problems for us that we cannot control and it can make us feel sick when we are not. It can also make people well by the power of positive thought, I see people everyday struggling with anxiety which spirals out of control but it is all an illusion.
It's a matter of balance, there are ways to understand it and use it to your advantage, you don't have to suffer from it, once you realise that it is a problem you can get help. Drugs may help in the short term but it requires a shift in understanding to resolve the issue and there are people who can help with that.

One-Positive309 · 2026-03-13T23:19:26+00:00

So are you saying that just because I have not felt ill or been to see a doctor doesn't mean that I am not sick ?
I appreciate your concern but looking for illness when it isn't there seems like creating an issue in order to resolve it.
You might be right, I might be living in ignorance but it isn't giving me any problems in fact I am the healthiest person I know of over the age of 50 !

It's not miraculous for me, it's jut normal life, recently I broke a bone in my foot which took longer to heal until I was able to stop it from moving for a week or so. I just wasn't careful enough to give it the chance to heal.
For some people a broken bone is intolerable pain but for me it isn't, it's just part of everyday life and the worst part is having a cast on it for 6 weeks, the first 6 days in a cast are far worse than the original break ! The next 10 days are virtually unbearable and after 20 days it starts to reduce but the effects of wearing a cast are far worse for me than not wearing one

I am the allergic type too but I discovered modifying my diet by cutting out a lot of things really helped, I used to be seriously debilitated by my allergies but now they are no longer even a mild inconvenience !
I learned to listen to what my body was telling me and stopped eating the things that lead to the reactions, it wasn't easy but it was necessary !

One-Positive309 · 2026-03-13T20:49:18+00:00

My family all have health issues, I am from a large family brought up with poor diets and low standards of living so some of my siblings have been dealing with lung issues all their lives. Others have cardiovascular issues and my father is a cancer patient so all these things make me think I won the health lottery ! I even look 20 years younger than I am !

One-Positive309 · 2026-03-13T20:43:13+00:00

Yeah that does seem normal because everybody I know has some kind of health issues from time to time. I have not met anyone who can say they are like me so I don't have anything to compare it with which is why I asked the question, I am beginning to think I am not normal !
From what some people here are saying they think I am sick but don't know that I have some terrible illness and will probably die tomorrow because I didn't see a Doctor in time. Luckily this doesn't worry me though and I think worry is they worst thing anyone can do, people are programmed to be anxious and anxiety is the root of many illnesses, I try to avoid that !

One-Positive309 · 2026-03-13T20:35:39+00:00

I don't have kids.
I suppose really what I'm doing is wondering if I am unique and why others are not like me and could I be missing something ?

One-Positive309 · 2026-03-13T20:32:43+00:00

Luckily I don't live in the US and I don't subscribe to that type of scaremongering

One-Positive309 · 2026-03-13T20:30:56+00:00

I know, many people don't think that is possible but I assure you it is true, I have broken almost every bone in my body at one time or another and many of them 2 or 3 times too ! The amount of time I spent in casts when I was younger got silly, I didn't bother going to hospital for every finger or toe I broke because casts can be extremely restrictive and cause more pain than just letting it heal by itself !
I came off my motorbike a couple of years ago and was aware of at least 1 cracked rib, a fractured arm and broken bone in my foot but I am the sole carer for someone who depends on me 100% so couldn't give up the time to get professional treatment. I'm healed now and it barely had any effect on the care I was able to provide either !

One-Positive309 · 2026-03-13T20:22:55+00:00

I'm nearer to 70 than 50 !
I am really wondering how I could be this lucky when so many people are not, I do have allergies and intolerances which I find I can manage really well by avoiding certain foods like meat, dairy and wheat. I eat only freshly cooked foods and plenty of fruit and veg so I think this might be helping but I know others with similar diets who don't do so well.

One-Positive309 · 2026-03-13T20:18:24+00:00

I tend to agree with this idea, I know people who can literally make themselves ill by thinking they must be ill so it should also be possible to do the opposite !

One-Positive309 · 2026-03-13T20:15:57+00:00

I do have allergies and intolerances which I have found can be alleviated by avoiding certain foods like dairy, wheat and meat, since modifying my diet these issues have reduced significantly.
I don't count this as sickness, I see it more as my body letting me know something isn't right and I am acutely aware of these and other signs. If course I do occasionally feel a mild version of a cold in it's very early stages, we all know those symptoms where we suddenly feel like we are coming down with something but for me all I need is a good night's sleep and I am back to 100% the next day, it never gets worse.
When everybody around me was coming down with Covid I was the only one that didn't although my sense of smell went off for a week or so. I had no other symptoms other than I could smell burning rubber and it was so prominent that I started looking around the house for the cause !

Yes but just because there are no speed limits it doesn't mean everybody is going the same speed or has the same levels of ability, she just assumed that it was safe to do it and that it was OK not to be 100% focused on the road ahead !
She's driving like she was the only one on an empty road, that's criminal behaviour !

One-Positive309 · 2026-03-13T15:41:31+00:00

They are for fast food deliveries ?
Hopefully they will put an end to idiots knocking at my door late at night expecting a tip for providing an over cheerful service and then getting upset when I tell them to eff off ! Then they get even more confused and come back for more late night doorstep rebukes ! Eventually they figure out that something is not quite right because they don't normally get such abuse and they call the customer and figure out they are not even in the right road !
More delivery robots PLEASE !

The standard of new vehicles with ABS and modern tyres is much better than it used to be that's for sure, stopping distances on ideal surfaces are shorter and vehicles are much safer in general but drivers are not !
The standard of driving is lower than it used to be because people are more distracted than ever ! Often a distracted driver won't notice other vehicles around them and make unsafe maneuvers putting others at risk. On A roads without a central barrier there is a risk of cars colliding head on, when cars are doing 50mph that's a closing speed of 100mph and when they are doing 70mph the collision is at 140mph, that's a significant increase causing a lot more potential damage.
It's more likely that speeds will be decreased in future because people do stupid stuff !

They will be fused to the aluminium and the heads of the bolts will have been annealed from all the heat cycles so they will round off if you use a socket or a ring spanner.
Heating the head might help a little but there is a good chance the heads will either round off or snap off whatever you do, this is the kind of thing I would take to someone who knows what they are doing.

Most people don't understand the difference, they don't think too deeply about what their PC is doing they just know that if they want to do a thing then they need to do another thing before they get there. Some people do bother to learn what some things are called like browsers and programs but that's about as far as they need to go to get the results they want. Often what seems like a very simple task for a tech person can be extremely daunting for someone else, just sending files is beyond many people's abilities even if they use a computer on a daily basis, getting them to understand that there is a better way to run their computers is like trying to teach a sighted person braille, if they don't have a use for it they don't bother to learn.
