Well that was a patronising waste of time. She didn't ask about suicidal thoughts either. I tried to say about letters to explain to family, but she said that was a nice idea, I'm not sure she understood what I was saying.

they roll in it

it is like the BEST thing you can do

PollyPooic · 08/02/2015 16:46

oh dear Up

maybe some people need to have these things spelled out to them?

hope is someone else tomorrow (or later today?) or you can be more direct?

Millie2013 · 08/02/2015 16:53

Flipping heck, Up. Even I picked up on that and I'm a dippy person on the Internet :(

Ennn · 08/02/2015 16:59

FFS. Hard enough to get up the courage to say what you did. I'm so glad you did though, even though she was being a bit of a dense cow. It's important to keep people in the loop and that they know what you're thinking; it will be easier to tell someone tomorrow how you've been feeling.

Perhaps it's unimportant. I find it hard to tell what to share and what not.

Ennn · 08/02/2015 17:00

Share everything and let them sort it out Grin

Doctors always look embarrassed when I talk/ask about sex; nurses less so. But im fucked (or not) if I'm putting up with sexual side-effects of meds without making sure the person prescribing the things knows IN EXCRUCIATING DETAIL exactly how many hours of cunnilingus it takes to get me off on citalopram. Poor sods Grin

Also I am completely fed up with people assuming bisexual = promiscuous, or that multiple partners = deception/dysfunction/exploitation.

Also have always wanted to do

would you rather have 3 fingers on your dominant hand and 7 on the other

or no fingers at all?

Ennn · 08/02/2015 17:16

3 and 7, why?

A schoolfriend of mine had three fingers (well, two and a thumb) on one of her hands and did fine.

OP posts:
CaulkheadUpNorth · 08/02/2015 17:17

3 and 7.

Would you rather fart marbles or sneeze confetti?

Ennn · 08/02/2015 17:19

Fart marbles and set up on eBay selling them.

I dunno I was just wondering

my Sicilian scuba instructor from about a thousand years ago just messaged me to say he IS my soul mate

Ennn · 08/02/2015 17:21

Gosh. Are you going to up sticks and bugger off to Sicily?

OP posts:
PollyPooic · 08/02/2015 17:23

I already wrote 47000 words about his torso and that is plenty

Ennn · 08/02/2015 17:25

Would you rather be bright green or have no nipples?

OP posts:
UpOnDown · 08/02/2015 17:27

green

CaulkheadUpNorth · 08/02/2015 17:28

No nipples.

Would you rather see an alien or a zombie?

Ennn · 08/02/2015 17:31

Alien! I'd love to meet a being from another planet.

OP posts:
PollyPooic · 08/02/2015 17:32

Ennn · 08/02/2015 17:33
