@RevRichardColes Middle grandson idolises Mr Beast. A YouTube guy who apparently uses his wealth to help people... but also sells tiny bars of vile chocolate at £2 each, and does all manner of pointless stunts from what I can understand. He does pay for surgery for the needy to giving away $10K.

@BlondeHistorian @MyBodyBackProj I had a horrendous delivery ending in emergency C section. The male Dr who did my internals left me feeling brutalised. My then GP, a lovely man, got the smear reminders stopped until I could cope. I've got one due and had some awful gynae stuff done 3 years ago. Dreading it.

@Sandford_Police I do hope poor K9 had a check up at the vets after biting those shorts!

[Poyningsfamily @newman_bev]

@DrJaninaRamirez I think the police need to start legally investigating social media platforms for incitement of violence. After all they are failing to take inciting posts down and allowing some horribly, vile stuff to be spread.

[Poyningsfamily @newman_bev]

@BlondeHistorian When we rock up most places, and the boys are bouncing off the ceiling, I go to show their cards and get waved through and told not to worry! So it makes no sense that venues ask for someone who has an evident impairment.

[Poyningsfamily @newman_bev]

@DrJaninaRamirez My wip is like that as I read more or fall down rabbit holes that turn up more interesting connections. I've learned now to go with it for the draft, write when I can. Becoming 'Mum' to my 3 grandsons mid process is an added challenge.

@MermaidJade4 @clairebubblepop @StephenJMaye @JaniceW78256134 You're assuming everyone has access to a library within walking distance, which they don't. Can afford to have home Internet or have access to decent 4G, which they don't. Everything is becoming app based, and it excludes the poorest and the elderly

This exceptional bear figurine was discovered in a peat bog near Słupsk. It was carved from amber during the Mesolithic- Neolithic, ca. 5000- 2000 BC https://t.co/mUksdCV7Pn #archaeology #Poland

@DrEilidhMaria @ShaunLintern Also work with the voluntary sector to get the Expert Patients Programme up and running again. It saved multiple unneeded GP appointments, empowered people to feel more in control of chronic conditions and support each other.

[Poyningsfamily @newman_bev]

@DrEilidhMaria @ShaunLintern Revisit the closure of community beds and adult respite to enable carers to have proper breaks so that they are treated fairly. When we had these facilities, there were very few, if any bedblockers. Pointed this out in multiple meetings in the late 90s. Hate to be right.

@RevRichardColes Or in the case of two wheelchair using friends get home! One had to leave her wheelchair locked in a cupboard at station on Sunday & shuffle into taxi. Then travel back to collect it on Monday. No available wheelchair taxis as deployed to other stations with working lifts.

[Poyningsfamily @newman_bev]

@RevRichardColes @DrFrancisYoung But highly accurate. I have been on a plane twice. The second flight because I needed to get home from the first. Might have tried again if friend's Dad hadn't told me about a huge sewerage plant at Heathrow 🤣

@MrBoothY6 My grandsons are autistic. Last year middle one had just come to live with me. He was struggling in the space hopper race. I started cheering. In seconds we had kids, teachers and parents on their feet chanting his name. He had no idea he was last. The grin on his face priceless

[Poyningsfamily @newman_bev]

@BlondeHistorian My 3 grandsons age 10, 9 & 6, all autistic, developmentally delayed, and dog obsessed can manage 1. Not to disturb assistance dogs. 2. Ask the owner first if they can pet / play with a dog and 3. Accept the answer is sometimes no. Then why is it so hard for adults to do the same?

[Poyningsfamily @newman_bev]

@DrJaninaRamirez Having fun like this with the Lords Appellant currently. The more I dig the more I find I don't know... my mind map is currently resembling spaghetti

@baroquenglass @Beska If it starts raining bread be prepared for crowds to descend

[Poyningsfamily @newman_bev]

@gardnerstuart39 @DrJaninaRamirez They would but many women married to men like Trump can't or wouldn't dare. His previous wives have claimed DV / SA. Melania was probably threatened with losing her son if she left. Children are great weapons for domestic abusers sadly.

[Poyningsfamily @newman_bev]

@bevelynnparker @Steve7Cocks @fLuidinio @RachelOrr Not true. Dad had diabetes, end stage heart,& renal failure. Unable to afford to buy a house. Took his small pension from his years as a roadsweeper for the LA. Only 4K of his savings left when he died. Why? He wanted to die in same village he'd lived in all his life.

[Poyningsfamily @newman_bev]

@MrPMHarrison Insane! Unpaid carers save this country an absolute fortune... they're already doing National Service for pity's sake!

[Poyningsfamily @newman_bev]

@TeresaBuglass @medicalmodelbri @iDrSunny When my Dad was in a care home and there were concerns about his consultant rx, home not allowed to question his care as no qualified nurses. I rang them as worried and they begged me to do something. Spoke to GP. Problem solved. So how far can a home go in questioning PA use?
