17.02.2026 01:10 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Thermal image of my legs. The left leg, especially at the knee and surrounding area is considerably colder than the right. There is some muscle atrophy to the left leg. Warmest areas are orange with the cold areas are purple.
I have heated mats. Bedroom, bathroom, living room (when I'm able to get downstairs) and another at my in-laws. Then there's 'electric slippers'. Keeping my leg warm is a necessity for exactly the same reason.
Cold = pain. Lots of it.
Outstanding! She's brought our house down too. Cheers.

Taking invasive questions with good humour non-answers is a healthy approach. Far better than a simple 'fuck off'. Enjoy it.
I appreciate I have watched just a small cross section of his work but he played characters who were warm, likeable and liked to joke around. I've always wondered how much of his personality is in those roles. He looks like the granddad everyone wanted.
Rest well Mr Duvall.
Sad to hear of the passing of Robert Duvall (95). It's a ripe old age, but another one of the greats has left us. From 'THX 1138', to 'Deep Impact', Apocalypse Now', 'Gone in 60 Seconds' and the sublime 'Falling Down'. The Godfather too but it's not one of my faves.
RIP & thanks for the memories...
22 years together or she's now 22? In which case, how long have you been together?

For me it would be to feel believed. My disability is invisible.
The only thing people start to accept is my leg doesn't bend past ~45ยฐ so my โฟ has a leg extension. They can see one working leg but accept I can't use the other.
I use "Any 3 y/o can tell you you can stand on 1 leg but need 2 to walk"
You should lose @bsky.app verification if you don't use alt text on your images. We already have the tools to evaluate this at the account level.
I think if we got the largest and most influential accounts doing it we could revitalize the accessibility culture this site once had.
A Scots charity is urging for new legislation to help disabled individuals escape poverty and create equal opportunities. What are your thoughts? #DisabilityRights

I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, German humour is dry, laser focused and rarely held back. Funny as hell.

There are hundreds of preschoolers, toddlers & babies in this "BABY JAIL!"

Imagine the trauma, the harm, the abuse!

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.
We really are not a very good-natured country.
Funny how it's predominantly mobility aids that are always questioned. We stopped questioning other things like glasses when we were at school.

Triple the price is a bit cheeky but given the event you can't really blame them.
The knee jerk response is Leicestershire's got to be pushing it but didn't they get it in Monaco or something the other year? Leicester itself must be a bugger for light pollution though.
That's a sad shot. A car in a driving distance from the kerb, the bumper inches from him but nobody behind the wheel. I don't want him killed but was a little karmic suffering too much to ask?

Does the German standard cover private land too? You've got me curious.
