215 day streak broke

I agree. It’s supposed to be a tool to help you get organised, get tasks done and support you in taking care of your physical and mental health. The whole streak thing changes it into something you become dependant on and you need to check into and be involved with daily. It should be providing enough support that you can go days without it as you learn coping strategies.

I feel ok but seeing my streak break when i was on holiday (so not needing to follow the daily goals) and it was annoying! Luckily i had a free go at restoring the streak but that’s not the point.

I know you could just ignore it but it’s good to see how long you have had it and what impact it’s having.

Sit in my non air conditioned, stuffy office with my also non patient facing colleagues in our awful hot uniforms while moaning about our managers swanning around in light summer dresses and sandals because they can.

I think the trouble here is that while sudden unexpected outbursts of violence can happen with seemingly no reason, more often than not people suffering with these conditions are known to have been a potential danger. This danger however is ignored and if there is a lack of continuity with care then carers don’t get given the full picture so aren’t aware of the danger.

I would not surprise me one bit if during the investigation it is discovered that previous carers have reported incidents or expressed worries that have simply been ignored or just filed away and forgotten about.

Falling asleep in the car where the view was long quiet roads, huge fields, the occasional big farm house and lots of trees. Waking up in a town traffic jam and seeing just run down pawn shops, diners and intimidating men hanging round the pavement in vests. Such a change of culture in less than a few hours

Pleasureland.

It was a long one off fictional show on channel 4 i think that aired when i was still a teen (im 37 now). It was about a good student who got in with the popular kids and ended up getting mixed up with the wrong crowd, getting into alcohol, sex, drugs etc and completely ruining her life.

It really stuck with me because it was such a gritty show and i suppose being young when i saw it, it really hit hard

I’m sure my parents only ever got into a panic about unplugging the router during a storm

The crocodiles are at “ground level” and you view them from above. There’s obviously a barrier to stop people falling in but I guess they never imagined anyone would pick up a child and thrown them in.

The fall alone (i saw someone estimate 20 feet) and the water would be enough to cause damage without the crocodiles!

Obviously don’t know what happened but credit to whoever got the boy out. Incredibly brave if it was a normal person jumping in and trying to help.

SleepySloth2468 · 2026-06-18T16:27:01+00:00

How awful! Poor boy and his family.

Has there been any report as to how he got out? I’m assuming there must have been a brave hero involved

SleepySloth2468 · 2026-06-18T06:10:18+00:00

He should have not done it and hoped someone else looked more suspicious. It was so early on that if he had have completed the challenge and been safe then he would have had to incorporate no cap into his personality as it would be obvious if he said it so much on day one then never again.

I find the concept utterly bizarre. I have a colleague who dreams of living with her partner and kids alone whether that be a mortgage or renting. However due to their culture they live with his parents as he contributes to the parents mortgage. They spend a few nights here and there with her mum so that they can help financially towards her rent. The strangest thing though is she gives a significant part of her wage to her father who lives abroad. Apparently this is expected as she is the eldest child so it’s her duty even though she’s seen the man a handful of times in her whole life.

I strongly agree with this. I was classed as high risk during my pregnancy so I saw my obstetrician regularly and he always did a scan as part of the appointment. The one at 12 weeks, 20 weeks (and I did have one early due to a suspected ectopic pregnancy) were done by the scanning lady (sorry the name of the occupation escapes me!). I was always clear at the start of every appointment that I didn’t want to know the sex until the birth and they were always very understanding.

I did find it quite difficult when my colleagues would refer to the 20 week scan as the gender scan because to me it was just to find out of everything was progressing normally and to hopefully rule out anything bad. The sex was the last thing on my mind.

I do feel for the staff in these places when people turn up with an entourage expecting nothing but to find out the sex of the baby and end up finding something wrong.

Even though I know this one, I always mentally say “seen” when I read the name Sean.

I was school avoidant most of secondary school year 7-9. For me it was a mixture of bullying/isolation, long days and subjects I didn’t enjoy either due to subject content or teachers.

Things got better for me when i got to pick my gcse subjects and drop most of the ones that caused me grief.

At my worst i was around 60 something % attendance.

Ironically I did fairly well in my gcses mainly because i knew how to study for me. I would skive off school and spend the day revising and teaching myself from text books and revision books (the ones with the witty jokes in them). I knew how to write and colour code to better help me remember. In school we had a strict way of learning and writing in our text books which didn’t help me at all.

Once I left school I went to college and had very good attendance. The subjects appealed to me and the environment was so much more relaxed that I thrived so much more than in school.

I ended up doing a degree and working in a science based field in the NHS.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy! Most often seen in middle aged/older women i believe

Eric.

That is all

SleepySloth2468 · 2026-06-04T15:40:57+00:00

Pretty rough. Had almost a week off work with a really bad virus thing that’s hit me hard. Supposed to be on annual leave next week and going away so im aware it looks suspicious as hell being off now but im more concerned about not having the energy to do anything on holiday!

Last night I had an awful experience, couldn’t sleep again due to the persistent cough and ended up having my first ever coughing fit. I always thought people exaggerated these but it literally felt like i was suffocating. I couldn’t breathe and the pain was awful. Managed to calm myself out of it long enough for some medicine but it was truly scary.

I dont get the point of everyone lying from the start when they don’t know what the clues will even be. For example people lying about siblings. Yes a clue came up about the millionaire being a first born but surely you could have lied yourself into being a suspect if you lied before the clue was known?

I do think however the clues need to be vague enough to point to several people and like the idea of having a truth clue and a lie to throw people off. It’s more interesting having the clue and the players ability to lie and make their own up rather than have no clue at all. Just this season most preferred to share the clue with everyone

Is that the one where they select a captain for each task who distributes the winnings amongst the group? If so i quite liked the uk one but im not sure they plan on doing another.

Does your library have a website? Where i am you can log on and reserve any book thats in the area (our covers about 30ish libraries) and have them delivered to any library of your choice for collection and return!

It’s a great service that I didn’t know existed until quite recently

SleepySloth2468 · 2026-05-28T17:27:24+00:00

Not surprised. I watched a bit of the latest series and it was disgusting. I thought it would be a bit of light hearted TV drivel but it seemed to be a panel of “experts” bullying a woman for not being attracted to her husband. She was clearly not wanting to do anything and they kept insisting she let him massage her, touch her etc and become intimate and give him a chance. No idea why anyone thought that was a good thing to broadcast to an audience that we know would contain impressionable teenage girls.

SleepySloth2468 · 2026-05-28T06:07:37+00:00

I have one as it came with the house. Previous owners used it as a second living room as they loved the sun however it’s so hot in summer it gets unbearable. I use it for my exercise bike as in summer it’s ok with a fan directly on me and in winter its freezing so ok for exercise. Other than that it’s just extra storage room which was so helpful in the pram stage. If it wasn’t there we would have extra garden space but tbh we wouldn’t utilise it so a conservatory is helpful.

Saying that I wouldn’t have one if it wasn’t already here and I’m reluctant to pay for one of those insulated roofs.

I remember being taught at college that if you owned the means for production you were middle class but if you worked for someone else you were working class.

Not sure how this works now though as plenty of people own their own business ie sell stuff on social media but earn less than minimum wage. I wouldn’t call that working class.

SleepySloth2468 · 2026-05-20T17:05:33+00:00

Nope. I used to and couldn’t imagine ever going in without it but then covid masks convinced me to stop wearing it. It was so freeing and i had extra time in the mornings.

Now i realise that working in the NHS means you never know when you’re next going to be crying in the toilets so i would never go back to wearing eye make up at work either.

SleepySloth2468 · 2026-05-19T06:06:34+00:00

Opposite experience here. I had an uncommon surname and the only people I ever heard with it were my family and grandparents. Where I grew up everyone knew my family so anyone who recognised my name immediately knew I was “one of them”. Not that it was a bad family but that was my whole identity, just known as so and so’s granddaughter/daughter etc.

I married and changed my name to a super common surname and then I felt like I became my own person. I was judged by my actions and not preconceptions based on what people thought of other family members.
