The news is negatively biased

Print that out, place it on the top of your laptop (or whatever you’re using to access the news). And do try taking a break from the news cycle if it’s getting you down – or if you can’t bear to do that, try limiting your access. You want proof that the news is negatively biased? The way that you’re having…[Read more]

posted this before, I’m sure, but may as well again.

@missrori – imo the answer to your ongoing question will not come from others.

@thane15:

Same here. We had a fridge/freezer and air conditioner, which lasted over 20 years!

I also agree that Murray may need a break, even though I shall miss him.

@hellsingfan01:

As for the the JW outfit? She should audition for the Wiggles.

The word ‘ludicrous’ comes to mind. The new series is getting better and better!

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@missrori thanks for the link and also the sad news re’ Dudley Simpson. I was very disappointed about the lack of Minisodes and such additional material during the more recent years, BBC cost cutting evidently but at a cost.

Cheers

@missrori:   I’m trying to be like the Doctor and be kind, and it doesn’t work…

Oh but it does. You retain your self respect, and put unkind people to shame. They may not realise this, but other people will.

Try to be your good self, the power is with you.

Thanks for trying to help. 

Not at all, it doesn’t cost much does it. *big smile*

@bluesqueakpip:  You can’t. Fix other people, I mean. They can only fix themselves, and you can only fix yourself.

Spontonski. You can’t.

@missrori:

This is going to sound flippant and perhaps it is. However, if there is a nuclear war, there won’t be anyone left to try to live with themselves. I endeavour  not to think about it, it only spo…[Read more]

You can’t. Fix other people, I mean. They can only fix themselves, and you can only fix yourself.

Glad to know you’ve been looking into stuff; that’s the first step. If you keep looking, something will come up. Which sounds a bit ‘if you build it, they will come’, but I’ve found that it’s often the way things work – and the route to…[Read more]

@wolfweed – perfect, as ever.

@whisht, @jimthefish, @missrori

Thanks for your good wishes. I’ll have to see if the draft is any good on November 30th. 🙂

Hey @missrori!

USA Midwest? What state? (unless you’d rather not say).

Our president (and by that I mean not “ours” but the current 45), is a giant (insert here worst thing you can imagine).  I’ve read in some papers he seems to have forgotten Puerto Ricans are Americans. I think he’s forgotten they are human beings. We can only hope for…[Read more]

@missrori: as @thane15 said.

Yep, I moved into a church army hospital (they don’t deserve capital letters) and whilst there I looked for a job and

BS. Obviouosy don’t try to move out until you have both.

I’ve heard how hard it is to get a job these days, even for people with Uni degrees, so please believe that I’m not being flippant or…[Read more]

@janetteb;

Ouch! That’s me told!

Of course times are different nowadays. Jobs were easier to find, especially as you gathered experience. Being Dental Nurse gave me a lot of scope.

My point- and I hope that @missrori realises this – is that things can’t happen unless you make them happen.

I lived with an impossibe mother too. Fortunately not…[Read more]

@missrori:

Hmm. I don’t think Clara was selfish in the true sense, she simply wanted to have her cake and eat.  Doesn’t everyone?

She was able to. Danny was the annoying one.

“Do you love him?” (Caretaker) He asks Clara.

“No, not in that way.”

“There isn’t any other way.”

What a twerp, hadn’t he heard of parental love? I thought he was…[Read more]

@hiker:

I agree with @bluesqueakpip. I rarely watch the news, and only read one newspaper The International Express – our British members will no that one.

@missrori: Well, I agree with your mother about JD, but nothing else. All I can offer, and it isn’t easy, is stick to what your gut tells you. Don’t listen to anyone else, just you sense of…[Read more]

Oops sorry. @missrori I seem to be making a habit of getting names wrong tonight. Thank goodness for the edit button. I can’t do anything right tonight.

@Missrori

You may feel like taking a break is ‘shutting out the real world’, but sometimes going cold turkey on the news cycle is a good thing to do. Pick a date, shut off your feeds and alerts, tell yourself you’re on retreat until a week or a month later. If anyone notices, just tell them you’re taking a holiday from the news.

I’m a bit of a…[Read more]
