Bit like Alyssa, never been stung so dunno if I’m allergic. My grandfather was highly allergic to bees.

Neither a bee or spider will hurt you if you do nothing but while both would make me squeal I’d prefer the bee.

Spider will look for somewhere dark & warm & can only run. It’ll likely crawl into my shirt. If a bee lands on me its taking a…[Read more]

My room is a sauna. Rest of the house do whatever temp ya want just don’t expect me there.

I’d rather be warm & alone than cold & social.

Absolutely. Like I’m good for a chat, argue a point whatever but I’m at a distinct disadvantage having just woken up & you’re discussing something that happened while I slept. I realised these people aren’t interested in conversation, just like having their opinion heard.

1 dude was awesome at his job but couldn’t stop with US politics. It’s…[Read more]

People asking my mum what I thought or how I felt when I was sitting right there drove her up the wall.

I got a pretty sharp tongue & quick with a joke so I’d back myself to make the baby talker look like the dickhead they were.

Probably nothing angers me more than being ignored. Or seeing people ignored.

I hate conflict but I’d rather the opportunity to engage & fight than be ignored altogether.

I’m the same. I’ve gotten rid of 2 support workers in the last 8mths because they couldn’t shut the *cough* up.

Just put me in the sling, hose me down in the shower & pump me full of coffee. Then we can say “good morning”.

I don’t think that is unreasonable; most people get up & shower before interacting with others.

I remember when I was 11 or 12 I sorta reasoned with myself that OK I’ll be physically weak but I’ll always be mentally strong.

I fell way short of that and fell into deep depression for years after some big things didn’t go well. I just didn’t care. Now I’m not as depressed and do care a bit so anxiety & regret has taken over.

Personally I…[Read more]

Great post, Losmi.

I get it mate. Absolutely. I’ve always been my harshest critic but have eased up a bit. Every time I can’t do something but drives me mad and I usually wind up frustrated swearing at myself. If my body kept up with my personality it’d be great. It doesn’t. Overall I’d hate myself more than I loved me.

haha it’d be great! Ask someone to pass something then move it just as they go to grab it. They’re like “you see that?” you’re like “see what? you’re crazy!”

I’d be at the casino playing dice games for sure.

I like messing with people so I’d absolutely go for moving things with my mind.

Also who needs physical abilities when you can shift things with thought? I’ll levitate my chair up stairs or mentally command that rib to hover in front of my mouth while I gobble away at it hands-free.

A few years back I went on a health kick. Nearly choked to death 3 days in on a bloody multi-vitamin!

The few moments I couldn’t breathe the only thought I had was how ironic it’d be dying taking healthy pills.

I grabbed a beer & a cigarette & got back in my lane lol.

Deepheat? Dencorub? Not sure what the US equivalent is.

Ya rub it into sore spots & it’s got a cold hot soothing. Keep away from eyes & genitals. You know the sorta stuff.

But TB has some Asian (I’m feeling its Malaysian but can’t remember) magic in it. Just the smell is calming.

Absolutely that makes sense, mate. Been there myself more than once on various things medically & recreationally. Especially if you dunno what you’re in for the panic is a natural reaction and oh boy its full on.

I’d say have a dabble if you’re curious & think it could help. A mild blend indica dominant and small dose worst that’ll happen is you…[Read more]

How did I forget Tiger Balm? Awesome stuff!

Hot wheat packs. I’m guessing same or similar to your heat pads. On real crook days I’ll have 2 nuclear hot under my back, 1 down my sternum & 1 at the back of my neck/base of my skull. That’s real bad days but where ya can’t even entertain getting outta bed.

Other days when its bad but manageable its again hot wheat packs. Taking pills makes me…[Read more]

Wrap the towel over the new thing?

Never had skin probs till recently. Mum said the other day “your toes look like 50,000yr old crocodile skin at a museum”. I looked down & she wasn’t wrong lol I just don’t care anymore. Used to be a gelled hair, cologne drenched, dressed up pretty boy with a fat head but now I’m good in trackies (sweat…[Read more]

Wheelchair reps are generally good people happy to provide a good service but really bloody difficult to nail down.

Like that friend who says they’re 5mins away but ya know they’re not even outta bed yet lol.

Keep on ’em DeAnn. Squeaky wheel gets the oil.

Wow! Yes!

I had my best mate stay for a week & he remembers so much that I don’t. But he doesn’t really remember my rough times.

Not really. They’re a reminder. They represent an identity I don’t have anymore.

Same with jewellery. I love it & spent heaps on it but it doesn’t “fit” me any more.

Becoming a lot less about material things.
