I've always been very left wing and I've become even more left wing as I got older as I want people to have all the things they need and I want things to be far more equitable

My dad came up today with my shopping and got an update on the neighbours cat and showed him your new photos. He thinks all your cats are beautiful (he thinks all cats are beautiful) but he was very taken with Winnie and thinks (accurately of course) that her eyes are especially beautiful

It's absolutely awful and if we would just tax the rich a little bit more and make sure they paid their tax like everyone else and tax companies properly and make sure they pay it we could afford so much

I live in the UK. I have lots of chronic health conditions and the problems I had getting disability benefits was ridiculous and this was and is standard. I bought my first mobility scooter (secondhand and cheap and on my credit card) before I got disability benefits because apparently I was fine.

So cute! I've been having a bad time recently so I haven't seen my dad (though he did come up and do my washing up as I was too ill to even have my cleaner come). He loves cats. I show him your cat photos and get an update on my dad's new neighbours cat who is very taken with my dad

working people can get it and they should be paid well enough that they don't need it, unless perhaps they have a large family. Governments subsidise capitalism all the time and it really pisses me off

Absolutely. There basically should be no in work benefits (there are some exceptions) because people should be paid properly. I live in Britain and universal credit is one of our benefits. I get in because I'm disabled with several chronic illnesses and can't work, unemployed people can get it and

when I had a period and others who weren't bothered and we'd put a towel down. One of the things I loved about my moon cup was being able to keep it in overnight. I don't know how it would be for really heavy periods but mine stopped being really heavy after being pregnant and I only got it after

month unless she gets pregnant or alters her BC and she should only do that for herself not him. And he's so disgusted by it that she has to sleep on the settee but he wants to have anal sex with her when she's already said she doesn't want to. I've had boyfriends who didn't want to have intercourse

Bloody hell (pun intended), just end it. Even if it was a longer term relationship I'd end it but it's only been a month! It's fine if a man doesn't want to have sex when you have your period (and obviously some women don't want to) but to react like that is appalling. And it's going to happen every

The way he goes on about the cognitive test (without realising what it actually is) makes me think it must be something neurological

bits and of course I have scars. The NHS definitely has problems and is definitely underfunded but I was so grateful for it. I was in hospital for 12 days, operated on, lots of changes of plaster etc and had some basic home care so I could have a wash for just over 3 months all for free.

elbow is a slightly different shape as it was bent because of having plaster up to my shoulder. I damaged my meniscus and have nerve damage on my knee, smashed in one side of my face, so I have nerve damage and some paralysis there and my nose was split open. I have lots of bruises and very sore

Yep! And of course as I'm right handed it was my right arm! It was 6 and a half years ago and the left arm, where a bone cracked through but stayed in place is basically back to normal but the right definitely isn't. I don't have the same mobility, there's lots of nerve damage, it's thicker and my

so no more MRIs for me! I would rather it hadn't happened that way though and I don't recommend it at all!

me (just my dad now ๐Ÿ’”) so I said they were to fight in my corner for no more MRIs. Anyway less than a year later I fell down the stairs and amongst other injuries broke both my arms and one of them both bones broke and poked out of the skin and I shattered my wrist bones so there's plates and pins,

So I said to my parents that I never wanted to have another MRI again (it was that bad); maybe if it had been a bigger one it might've been better. Yes I'm overweight but there are lots of people bigger than me and it was only about an inch over my boobs (I'm big busted). My parents help care for

arrogant twatbastard and wouldn't listen to me. They wanted to do 4 passes but I had a major panic attack after the 1st one and tried to run away, which given that walking isn't my strong point was ridiculous. I would've hit the floor if the nurse hadn't caught me. So anyway they didn't do anymore.
