β€οΈ the beach. Prefer animals to people, especially dogs, and even more especially my Schipperke π dog. Detest liars & bullshit artists. Twitter is my news.
@HajjGhassan@IndianaGPA I'd say the girl's black eye and terror would cause normal people to "take a side". When it's kids or animals I would hope we would all help.
@ADHDForReal A clock in every room (except toilet). Hairbrush, lip balm and sunglasses in every car I use, as well as in my main handbag. I own 5 hair brushes, all in use.
@ADHDForReal Foot bridges that have wooden treads with a gap between each. Doesn't matter if the gap is 1 cm or 5 cms. I'm falling through. I just know it. I will literally give up on my destination if I can't find another way around a bridge of death.
@ADHDForReal I absolutely do this. I also "glaze" read, where I don't focus on words or lines. I try to see the paragraph or page and take in the whole thing at once.
@miles_commodore You play along. You are giving them the opportunity to relive a moment/person/experience, and that is a kindness that enriches both of you.
@MarkDiStef Yes, better can be done. Considering his name is actually Guot Guot, and a paperwork error in Europe mistakenly changed it to Gout Gout. His father is reportedly upset, especially as he now knows what gout means in English. Hopefully it can be rectified officially for the family.
@AMAZlNGNATURE Kangaroos like to drown dogs. Don't ask me why, but they will literally hold the dog's head under water with their ridiculous little arms. We put our dogs on leads as soon as we see them when we are out walking.
@YouAreLobbyLud You weren't alone in your naivety. In 2020-21 I thought that the medical profession/industry was working with governments to prepare staff and hospitals for a crisis, as well as toiling to mitigate damage. How wrong we were...
@lesstenny Also noticed our local news nightly story on ambulance ramping has disappeared. He's either fixed that too overnight, or maybe he's sacked the Ambos like Newman. One way to stop ramping I guess - less Ambos driving around = less ramping. The news was completely different.
@xskinn Ian your heart is in the right place but I feel you are looking at it from the point of view of a decent, caring parent. What most people imagine would happen and how they would feel. The reality is most of these kids don't have supportive families.
