Beware possible triggers (disordered eating, self-harm and suicide references). Let’s kick off with a candid post from Differently Sane, who has been given some rather helpful advice on dating and sexuality from her GP. At no point, after GP registrar tried to get Ex to come to therapy with me, then found out that the waiting list had been shut-down because it was too long (how common a problem is this?) it has never been mentioned.  And whenever I bring it up (u...

I just let them dissolve in my mouth.  They kind of have a minty taste to them.  I was sitting in front of the house for which I would soon get to work in the yard.  This man’s yard was a complete disaster compared to the other yards on the street. I had a big job ahead of me this afternoon and tomorrow. I got out my band saw and all my clippers and trimmers, put on my leather “cowhand” gloves, and got to work. The man stood in the yard watching me as he drank a Pabst Blue Ribbon talking a mile a minute. He was in what I thought his late sixties with thinning grey hair and a wife beater on. He had a hairy chest that would make Tom Selleck envious.  He...

Perhaps more pertinently, can something as silly as the iPad cope with the ...

After the airline pilot had managed to land the planeinto Wellington airport  — albeit bumpily — following a descent through exceptionally heavy weather, she came out of the flight deck to bid the passengers farewell as they gratefully left the plane  on their way back to terra firma. The most memorable comment he received was from a little old lady who asked him politely whether he would pleas...

I exclaimed as I motioned for Tim to pull the company van off the road and onto the shoulder. "You're not pregnant, are you?" Tim jokingly quipped while I was barfing my guts out in the grass. I climbed back in the van feeling so much better. "You got a stomach bug?" Tim warily asked. "It's my nerves," I replied. We finally pulled into my Doctor's parking lot.  I was due for an injection in the ole derrière.  My sanity potion as I call it.  The nurse had a hard time putting it together and almost screwed it up. "Dear God, please don't let her screw this up," I prayed with my heart pounding furiously in my chest.  I was nervously rocking back and forth in my chair.  Finally, I got m...

In the ways I think, act and even interact with people. I am still a child at heart- a Tom boy of sorts and fiercely independent and confident, but I also play by the rules so much more. We had a young tech call out from work the other day- we have a no call out policy so you have to find coverage- and it made me think how much I have changed. I would have to be very very very ill not to go to work. Bedsides the fact that I love what I do- I would not want to burden anyone with picking up one of my shifts or put fellow workers in the red. Gosh… I think it stinks that I am so responsible now these days, haha! Do you call out from work...ever? Not unless I am dead. Yes, sometimes when I a...
