Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. β™₯οΈπŸ“š

Very pretty! Where are you?
And couldn't agree more about the difficulties of being veggie in France - particularly outside of Paris & its environs.

Yes. It can be very serious. My youngest son can dislocate his jaw just when eating &, once both shoulders dislocated when he stretched his arms onto the back of the sofa behind him.He subluxes (partial dislocation) constantly.
What people don't talk about are the headaches that can be an EDS issue

There are plenty of places in the UK where you only see white faces. How does Jenrick feel about that, I wonder?

I just saw someone use the abbreviation β€œAI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Sounds like you might have Ehler-Danlos Syndrome. Easily dislocating joints are classic for the condition.

How are things looking this morning?

I think that you and I are in complete agreement! And, as for the others, I'm extremely good at blocking and not engaging!

Maybe you're right. I could certainly see that.
But, yes, a deeply hideous condition. My uncle, after horrible years, managed to pull his breathing tube out overnight & sort it.
Now we need more awareness & earlier diagnosis to find the answer. It must be out there.

Oh, Helena. I'm so sorry. Horrendous in every way. Just absolute shit.

Nope. Not an acceptable word. Still pejorative against women.

Sending all the love & strength. Like many, many people here, I'm with you.

Oh, my love, I'm so sorry. That must have been horrible.
Yeah, maybe now in the public eye. My uncle died in 2008 after some years of trying to work out what was wrong. I think that diagnostic criteria can be confusing & unclear.
But I am so sorry for you. That's immensely tough.

I hope the Nobel folk don’t bow to pressure and give the Orange Oaf the Peace Prize.
If they do, he’ll lose interest in and abandon the Palestinians and the Ukrainians. I’m sure of it.

Far more research into MND needed.
Leaving aside potential contact sport link (which seems significant) is it more prevalent? And why?
Having grown up in 60s, 70s, 80s never really heard of it, then my uncle (hideously) died of it, then my dad's colleague got it....

We had this rule in fringe, where if the total number of punters in that night was smaller than the combined cast and crew, you offered a refund or a ticket for a busier night.

How are you doing now? It's almost 11pm, Monday evening & I'm holding all of you in my thoughts.
Sending strength & love.

They'd find mine very boring! A bag of headache drugs/antihistamines & acid reflux drugs. Two diaries. A large notebook. My phone. An umbrella.

Quite. And as the first retribution (the shank) failed, they'll do something else - probably something physical.
