September Smoothies

Recommended Posts

I haven't been posting but have been reading.

Too much going round in my head at the moment.

Trying to downsize, clear out and pack. And not getting very far.

Also, still trying to get a house to go to.

Good news for Kota and you. Good thoughts for Candy next week.

I hope they can help the little hedgehog.  They are  on the vulnerable for extinction list.

 

Looks like we are  heading back into some stricter restrictions   People are getting  fed up not being able to socialise  or think I will be careful. It will be okay.

 Unfortunately, they don't just risk their own health , but the health of  their friends and family.

 

A forum friend  is worried about her young  grandson who is seriously ill in hospital after staying overnight with a friend who later tested positive for covid. He is on constant oxygen as his body is not retaining oxygen and his heart is racing. The  doctors are struggling to stabilise him. 

This virus is so indiscriminate and isn't going anywhere soon.

Good luck Blackmagic. It can be difficult up here not knowing where to pitch a bid. We were lucky with this house as no one else wanted it and it had been on the market for ages so we got it for less than the asking price. I should imagine the Edinburgh area is very different. So sorry about your friend's grandson. She must be frantic with worry.

Philip's late parents used to live in Scotland, they preferred the method of buying up there, as once your offer has been accepted you can't be gazumped.

Hope you soon find something, blackmagic and everything crossed the lad soon recovers.  We've just been watching Ambulance, set in the London service..the numbers of stabbings are terrifying and what is the Mayor doing about it? Sweet fanny adams.

Sadly Suzeanna, it's the same in every city, we have 2-3 stabbings daily, 2 shootings at the weekend and that's a regular thing. It doesn't fall upon one person to deal with it.... it's a whole list of things that need addressing, I myself have personal experience of knife crime with my uncle...he was stabbed in his femoral artery, an axe was taken to his head ...he is now missing part of his skull, the axe was then taken to his legs, the next time he was stabbed was in his heart....he died twice, had 9litres of blood and thankfully the skilled drs nurses and ambulance service saved him..he has been stabbed and it grazed his liver.

First step needs to be that parents can actually punish their children without fear of being charged for doing so...at the moment in my opinion, the kids have no discipline, the attitude that they are owed something.... parents need to stop giving, what happened to waiting for birthdays or Christmas for things or god forbid....get a Saturday job!! 

Next is stop trying to be your child's friend....you are their parents...you are here to raise them to be decent human beings, so what if they resent you at times. I have no clue when it became acceptable for 13, 14,15 year olds to be out until the early hours and parents actually having no idea where their kids are and who with. 

Next is accountability, I don't care if you are 13 or 73, if you are carrying a knife or gun...you are meaning to do someone harm...you should be jailed accordingly and proper sentences in proper prisons. Anthony (my uncle) was in ashwell...it got destroyed in a riot and to this day I can't understand why they did it but anyway, this place he had a "key to his room" I kid you not, he could ride unsupervised to Rutland water to work where no prison guard would check on him!! Prison can't be so bad....he has spent a lot of time in there, in prisons across the country...iow, Canterbury, Birmingham, ashwell.... doing more than one sentence at a few of the above named...lost count of the times he has been in Birmingham.

I am sick of people stating lack of education, colour of skin as an excuse for them being a murderer or getting involved in drugs, I was at both my school's with a black lad, we were in the same class, we had the same family life, same education, we took our GCSEs...I grafted to get an apprenticeship, he ended up dealing coke...caught with a huge amount, it has sod all to do with his family, education or colour....he couldn't be a*sed to graft for what he wanted...took the easy route. Steve struggles to read and write, he isn't a criminal...he is stuck doing a job he hates, that makes him very miserable but he pays his bills, keeps a roof over his head and all done legally.

To be honest, I could go on and on but the trouble is, that there are no consequences to people's actions, the young people of today have no boundaries and some bizarre attitude of entitlement and God forbid you say something that they don't agree with as it's labelled a hate crime and you are somehow the one in the wrong. 

Societies problems start in the home, if you aren't able to chastise a child without being upset that you won't be their "friend" sorry, but don't have them! Simple things like a lack of manners, respect for others and your surroundings ( littering, damaging parks etc)are the beginnings of the end in my opinion and until people take responsibility for the children they decide to have then we are on a hiding to nothing!

I get a bit annoyed when people point the finger everywhere but themselves. My nan created a dangerous monster with my uncle by never chastising him and ruining him, we now have a 6ft9 man who when he has been on a bender needs 12 police to hold him down, can drink 9 litres of super strength cider and still be able to hold a conversation and walk about, he has an obsession with knives, guns and fire. I daresay had my nan realised how he would turn out, she probably would have been harder on him, she always blamed herself for how he was, he could wrap her round his little finger and that's why I can't stand this blame culture, you have eyes in your head, you can see the path your kids are taking... don't blame others but sort your own mess out. I guess was Anthony growing up now and my nan could see others who he would end up like...well, it would be a different story....I know how sick I feel when the police arrive and ask for mum by her maiden name as I know it's Anthony related, I don't believe that anyone who loves someone would want that feeling, or the hours of sitting by a bedside with a person who you love on life support just waiting to see if they will wake up and if they do, how badly they will be damaged...if people had a crystal ball I am sure things would be very different and to a certain extent parents now do have a crystal ball, they can see what's going on around them with older kids...they can stop theirs going the same way. My nan didn't have anyone to compare Anthony to, had she? well, I think her life, his life and my life would have been different, had she had the ability to realise that I would be the one sat on my own by his bedside waiting for him to get off life support and hoping that this time it would be different, this time he will stay sober and get his life sorted I am pretty sure she would have had no issues with doling out punishments

Sorry about your friend Jazz.  I found this online..

How much paracetamol can I take with tramadol?
An initial dose of two tablets of Tramadol hydrochloride/Paracetamol is recommended. Additional doses can be taken as needed, not exceeding 8 tablets (equivalent to 300 mg tramadol hydrochloride and 2600 mg paracetamol) per day. The dosing interval should not be less than six hours.
 
Quite a few of the American women on a mets forum I belong to who have severe pain are given fentanyl patches to wear.  Don't know if they do that over here though?

Yeah you can get fentanyl and morphine patches. To be honest jazz, I would speak to a qualified pharmacist to find out what exactly you can and can't take...none of us here are qualified to advise and can only Google. I would also be putting in a complaint against the pharmacist who told you that you can take nothing with tramadol and be changing pharmacy... that's basic stuff and if they are wrongly advising on that...well, that would deeply concern me
