Here's my post replying to Moth
Thats an interesting article moth. Best not on the board or MRAs would be all over it!
I was wondering today, hopefully, if the news about darts getting rid of the girls means the overton window is shifting and maybe p0rn will become less acceptable?
If not all this hooha about F1 girls and the presidents club is just tinkering on the edges.

Errol, yes but I'm wondering about training and support etc. Just thinking it's not going to be a quick thing so there will still be women needing to travel.

ErrolTheDragon · 26/05/2018 19:54

I would guess there would be many doctors who've been horrified by how they've had to treat (or rather, not treat) women who will want to help those that need abortions now.

LighthouseSouth · 26/05/2018 19:32

Okay official result
Good to know they've moved into the 1960s
I wonder how it will work in reality in terms of doctors training and agreeing to it?

Meanwhile, there's a topic on MN called "streamed TV". I find that weird, couldn't it just be TV?

I fell asleep watching TV ad didn't wake up coughing for a whole hour! Hoping to go out tomorrow though!

LighthouseSouth · 26/05/2018 01:18

I'm waiting for a result, I don't trust the polls.

I spent an entire day in A&E with DH a few weeks ago. Picked up a really nasty flu type bug which he then caught so I'm not sure he'd want me there another time. Though I probably helped stop him expiring from boredom, he was wired up to monitors so couldn't have got himself anything to read or anything.

Meanwhile, exit polls in Ireland make me want to raise a glass Wine

LighthouseSouth · 25/05/2018 23:33

The A&E thread has been quite an eye opener.

LighthouseSouth · 25/05/2018 19:31

Thanks everyone
I have extra steroids now, they said to go back Tuesday of not feeling better but they also said it seems quite bad so not to expect much of the weekend. We did have a lot of walking planned. Oh well.

I was watching an American estate agent show...cant remember the bloody name

And Josh Flagg proposed to his boyfriend Bobby...i was welling up, so sweet

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 25/05/2018 17:39

waddle

I know!!!

Half way through texting him today (supposed to be coming home today) dh texted me and said 'picking ds1 up at 6.30

No youre not!!! Grin

Waddlelikeapenguin · 25/05/2018 17:25

Ah Lighthouse sorry it's not settling hope triage can sort you out.

I recommend a peek at #hometovote incredibly inspiring although it does keep making me happy sob so maybe a really bad suggestion!

Rufus i had to read that twiceGrin

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 25/05/2018 14:43

Sometimes its good to vent

Hope someone rings you back and you feel better

Maybe they will get you in...if the coughs on your chest it will take a bit more than your inhaler to sort

Ds1 was supposed to be home from uni on Wednesday...then it turned into friday, then it was sunday...now its back to Saturday

Im so confused Grin

LighthouseSouth · 25/05/2018 14:35

Thanks Rufus

I just thought the same thing so I left a message with the receptionist and someone will call me back.

sorry, I probably should not have said that about the user....just a bit annoyed. Will find something cheerful to watch now I think. Thanks for the kind words.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 25/05/2018 14:30

Which user is that?

Im sorry you are not much better today

Can you ring the triage nurse at your drs if they have one ?

LighthouseSouth · 25/05/2018 14:11

Think I've encountered a user who either can't read or is spoiling for a fight

had to go across the road for supplies. The coughing...! I've left it too late but I'm slightly confused what to do now as I think I probably am over using my inhaler. I really thought I'd feel better this morning.

sorry for the moan - but hey Wankstain has been charged so hopefully that's something.

LighthouseSouth · 24/05/2018 23:57

Oh I see Waddle, yes, it's one thing to miss work or school but missing fun is awful!

Yes I think every man in Hollywood that I liked....also rumours abound Wankstain is going to police tomorrow. Hope that's true.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 24/05/2018 23:01

Oh we were just having an at home holiday so it just meant missing some day trips! I was trying to say how rotten it is to have a cold when the weather is lovely!

Morgan Freeman urgghhh

LighthouseSouth · 24/05/2018 16:31

when you see Morgan Freeman trending and have to ask yourself which of the 2 possibilities you'd prefer..

and that's right after Jason Bateman makes the worst apology EVER.

LighthouseSouth · 24/05/2018 15:37

Thanks Waddle

sorry you wasted your holiday. That happened to my mum - she and dad went on a dream holiday to New England with all the autumn colours, she looked forward to that for years - and got a chest infection Sad

Waddlelikeapenguin · 24/05/2018 15:15

Hope you can rest up & get rid. We had a stinking cold a couple of weeks ago, totally wasted our holiday but somehow i felt the insult was in the beautiful sunny weather!

LighthouseSouth · 24/05/2018 14:58

Waddle, yes it is a factor but this is definitely lurgy related.

I was all right today - then I had a conversation with my boss. I managed the conversation but was not good afterwards! She is not expecting me till next week so no worries.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 24/05/2018 14:24

LighthouseSouth how are you? Asthma sucks & can be very scary.
Is the evil pollen a factor?

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 24/05/2018 12:43

Its just that you cant catch your breath...at all

Have to go now Sad

Hope you feel better very soon

LighthouseSouth · 24/05/2018 12:35

6 hours a week

awesome!

I don't know anyone else with asthma so sometimes I don't know if I am being weird or neurotic but reverberating coughs freak me out. I once had an attack on the Tube and a lady pulled the emergency cord and everyone looked utterly panicked....so I guess it's scary to see as well.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 24/05/2018 12:29

Yes my brother has bad asthma

It can be very very scary

And so uncomfortable for you!!

I only work 6 bloody hours a week

But by christ do i whine aboit it Grin

Drives dh mad

LighthouseSouth · 24/05/2018 12:26

yes, it's the cold
I got worried yesterday because I hit max use of my reliever inhaler but I seem to have avoided it so far today and it's nearly 12.30 so that must be a good sign, I hope.

it's such a bone shaking cough, my back actually hurts. having asthma is boring. And sometimes a bit scary!

hope you enjoy the manicure at least!
