I've got really into a lot of the foreign language thriller/dramas on Netflix recently but I can only watch them when I'm not trying to keep up with Alice because you can't look away or you'll miss the subtitles..!@Magpierainbow I haven't seen it no, gonna have to go find it somewhere and have a look see! Thanks for the recommendation!
Since Alice has slowed down a little I finally got one of my films watched on Netflix, The Clense? It was alright, not as good as I had hoped it would be
I don't know why I can't watch things dubbed. 
I've been doing re-runs of old series in the background for some noise, but honestly I shouldn't bother coz I'm taking 0% of them in while all this drama has been going on but I thought I'd share some TMI. I changed from the combined pill to the mini pill about 6 years ago because I was getting a lot of problems with the main pill. That all cleared up but my chin hair seemed to double overnight 
I've tried waxing, threading, plucking, removal cream.. No matter what I ended up with inflamed follicles that turn into ugly whiteheads so I just have a beard of spots instead. So now I just use one of those electric JML facial hair razors. I have to use it every day or I get bristles but it seems like the only option. I've got a home IPL machine I'm using at the same time but it doesn't seem as effective on the old beard as it is the legs My ManCompanion just bought me the entire Sharpe collection on DVD, he found it in a charity shop for Β£9.50 bless his heart! I don't often like blondies, but man, Sean Bean can just .... holy crap he do whatever the hell he wants!
Β£9.50?!
Mega bargain! Well done your ManCompanion! Aww, but the thing is they didn't all have to work for the same company, they kinda mixed and matched depending on what job was needed being done on which rig. So, they could've known each other, it is after all - sometimes a small world. Don't know about yours, but my dad sometimes away 2 weeks, sometimes more, but then he could be only 2 days into being home, then be called away again. Sometimes dad was saying to mum not to answer the phone, he didn't really like it. Though by all accounts I think the food was at least good. I've got a pal, she was a cook on rigs@tilly27 I asked my Ma about Dad on the rigs and told her the company your pops worked for, and it's a no sadly
Booo that could have been so fun! The main player my Dad worked for was Maersk, and weirdly I remember the symbol from childhood from somewhere. But whatever, it was awesome to make that connection with you
Wtf? Are you wanted dead or alive like welp now? Do I need to dig my grandpappys old blunderbuss out? Not faced main thread yet done myself in again a little bit.
My standard reply when anyone says "what can I get you" is "Sean bean naked & hog tied please" although I have to admit these days mostly younger shop assistants who look at me gone out as I chuckle like mad old bag I am
That's it, who is this tit bag? (Will read up in a mo) More importantly massive π«to you, duck the fuckers please don't let anything stress you & hurt your body
Uh oh. This is what I hate about t'internetHey
I just wanted to say away from the main thread to not feel guilty, there is not very subtle manipulations going on and we are doing nothing wrong.
I don't really want to say any more than that for fear of getting in trouble with the mods and I don't want to keep rocking the boat of an unstable person but that sort of thing is designed to do exactly what it did to you, make you feel bad and make you be quiet.
Come chat with your fellow Turds and Turdettes and leave the crazy world of Bird like SM for the nuts
I'm loving that you have created two safe spaces for us away from the main thread, we all need a break from it and happy animal pics and random chat about what's going on in the world - tattoos is just the ticket!
Β£9.50?!
ETA: Ps I say that as an unstable person myself, I'm not using unstable as a slur at all here!
shall say no more
. Huge love to the funny, discerning, caring people here. Also thanks all for brilliant film/prog suggestions I keep a long list of these. Atm am caring full time for mum after heart attacks, bowel rupture, strokes etc she's sliding into vascular dementia, I wouldn't be here now if wasn't for her so my time to pay her back. This is the woman nearly destroyed by my narc dad who never ever bad mouthed him to me. Anyway sorry maudlin tangent but when I get chance to watch stuff properly look forward to suggestions. Thank you Turds π« I won't ask if you are ok, because I'm sure you aren't really because it's your mum, but I think you and all carers are amazingly strong people! Not everyone steps in or is able to like you have done. Aww thank you. I am OK, even on worst days, got handful of rl friends who've been there or are there & a fantastic kind of carers counsellor for want of better phase - it all is what it is mum can't help anything I just have to manage myself & I'm massively honoured to be able to do that for her. Thanks for saying though@Magpierainbow that is so sad to hear about your mum
I'm really glad you are getting a small respite here amongst the Turds... where we all belong
P.s love your new Christmas Turdvetar
Eeeeh, that's kind, don't take compliments well, I'm just doing what a lot of people are doing, we all just cope with hands we're dealt. I do firmly believe that if anything you've gone through you can share & help any other person then that's almost making it worthwhile, I didn't get to an almost stable place alone & so grateful for that. Lot of stuff on main thread making me bit twitchy atm so just going to lurk about. Thank you all who've shared some horrible bad stuff here's to just staying ourselves, not letting the feckers rile us, & keeping ourselves together despite a lot of provocation. I would imagine I could word that better but like i say bit twitchy today. Wishing you all as good a day as poss π«That is a beautiful quote! A lovely thing to hold in your heart as we go through life, I'm sure your mum thinks you are wonderful as you are, I do
Oh Lordy.
Is it like an OCD thing? Did it to my scalp for the longest time, like years - bleeding bald spot etc. Ended up wearing a wooly hat around the house for few months to cure me of it, because people were noticing.
