I swear my femur must have been near a greenstick fracture.
Not only was it narrower, but the whole thing was then precariously resting on four rubber button things.
I swear I saw this and immediately remembered what the gymnasium/assembly hall smelled like.

These lies can't be spun.
The truth will out.
The USA is also not releasing accurate USA casualty numbers.

Oh, no. That's extremely debilitating and uncomfortable for your son.
Same here, no rhyme nor reason for it.
It's frustrating when there's absolutely zero holistic way to treat stuff like this, or help your body stop fighting itself.
Genetic luck of the draw really.

Dear USA,
get this regime of fruitcakes removed.
You've gone on about your 2nd amendment rights for 235 years.
Use it and the militia part.
Otherwise, what was the point?
USA Armed Forces are overseas and ICE are terrorising Minnesota and many more states.
Use the distraction.
Love,
The world.

I'm a little ashamed to say I still haven't learned the rudiments of rugby scoring, although I understand most of the positions and general terms.
Same deal for American football and basketball.
I can explain the football offside rule, but never ever spot it.

I've such gratitude to the Scottish NHS.
Flare, phone call to optician Friday noon, visit optician Saturday 09:00, she calls the on-call consultant, appointment made for my own consultant 09:00 Monday.
I don't mind waiting for appointments for non-urgent stuff when the urgent treatment is so fast.

I'm so sick of the global fight to allow the abuse of women and children.
We're only safe when we're together without a man in sight or orbit.
Otherwise we're constantly on guard.
On a first date men hope they've not been catfished.
Women just hope they won't be murdered, r@ped, abused or kidnapped.

Public less positive towards Royals following further Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor revelations but most still think it will continue in the future The latest polling results on the perception of the Royal Family among the British public.

There's still quite the number of hardcore Monarchists.

Oh, good grief, no pressure then? My High School was in Port Glasgow.
1st and 2nd years would regularly spend gym time clearing glass and rubbish off the rugby pitch for the older years' games later 🀣

We really can't speak when we fund a monarchy filled with vile people.

Concussions Can Wait. democracy, war crimes, and corruption don’t pause for head injuries

Donald Trump doesn’t care if people live or die.
He never has and he never will.
And it makes me so fucking angry.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Is it really only six?
Because various sources are stating the USA is not giving factual information.
The problem is we can't trust a single thing anyone in the Trumplethinskin regime says.
The lies are constant and absurd when they're so easily verified.

Malicious compliance is how I'd handle that.
Once I'd tamped down the immediate desire for violence.

Wealth cap.
One billion.
Anything extra has to go to society.
These are the people that don't even pay taxes.
What IS the point of the ultra-rich?

I knew immediately that this hadn't been written today.

It would be far too insightfulβ€”and honestβ€”for Donald.

The burn of shame when I couldn't haul myself up the ropes....
EVER.
The vaulting horse and I got on about as well as you.
The only "sport" I was good at was the 100m sprint.
'Cos we ran about anyway all day and evening.

Seems Lindsay Graham is either incredibly stupid and fully compromised or an Israeli asset and fully compromised.

Those poor people.
Less flooding water and more clay slurry looking stuff. Which will set hard ruining everything it hasn't swept away.

Good gods. That's almost clay slurry. That's going to set hard, further hampering rescue and safety.
Those poor people.

FacePlace market place.
Anyone fancy some nostalgia?
I once really hurt myself falling off the invert side the teacher had decided we'd to "balance beam" on.
I wasn't coordinated then, I'm not now.
But I still remember that fall and the full-leg immediate black bruise
No break, but what a wallop.

Heads must roll. And names must be released.
Every day historical predators, paedophiles, r@pists, and abusers are allowed ro saunter the earth free is another day for them to carry on their predating, abusing and grooming.

Studio is in chaos as I try to finish setting up the lighting rig. I will see how far I get this evening. It is another job that would be much easier if there were two people and it would certainly be a lot easier if I was 10 years younger.
