I think the #MeToo movement may have started on well intentioned grounds, but was quickly weaponised for political agendas, power grabs and the demonisation of men. If these allegations are substantive grounds and the FBI have done 6 comprehensive background checks, does that mean the FBI...

Because of what I consider a toxic #metoo movement, which is inherently sexist, there is this call to believe the women who come forwards. Hillary (for prison) herself says the women must be believed, unless of course they are the accusers against her own husband, and they should definitely NOT...

That is a good level Doc, much better than before! From my reading, I see that if your Diastolic is over 80, that is classified as high blood pressure. What I have been trying to find out is what the average male blood pressure reading is by age. By comparing with your cohort, it is a more...

Last year I think it was 113 over 79. Yesterday it was 127 over 83.

We all know high blood pressure is the silent killer. There are few symptoms to speak of, but the effects can be devastating. I checked mine yesterday afternoon and notice it is much higher than it normally is. This has been the same for the last few months. This is a worry. If I can lose a...

I have realised they don't give a hoot about the pain aspect. It is all about preserving life. When my mother broke her arm last year, she was screaming in pain lying on the floor in agony. I think that took about 3 hours before they arrived.

I think average wait times for life threatening issues is about 12-14 minutes in my area.

I had a horrendous night last night. My mother has degenerative osteoporosis which causes her terrible back pain. She felt back into her chair a couple of days ago and her back got worse. We called the doctor out today and she said it could be a fractured lower back. She prescribed morphine...

Sneaky of the Japanese! Is there any difference between US and USA? I am sure I've seen it used interchangeably.

Maybe mine is less an anxiety attack but just legitimate anxiety based upon the circumstances I face. In any case, perhaps it will increase my capabilities of dealing with this sort of thing. I grow as a result.

There might be something similar to your Small Business Administration, although I alway imagine that the US probably has more help. (Do you use US or USA or are they interchangeable?) Regarding lawyers, I am cringing at the thought of it all.

Does that not make bootstrapping your business an impossible task?

There seems to have been quite a few books recently out about introverts, rebranding them as just fine and also to clarify what they actually are. It appears it is not just a question of quiet verses loud, but instead that extroverts get energy from other people while introverts get energy from...

Wow, Insane_AI, you seem to have had your own fair share of stress too then. Whenever you run your own business, there is a risk involved that can turn your brain into mush. At this stage, I don't have a legal team. I am only a tiny business. Me verses a $60bn company. :eek::( Ultimately, I may...

You can even use the right terminology and cause offence. For example, some people might find the phrase "white old men" as being offensive, at least that is the impression I got from a Senator who accused them of bias regarding the Brett Kavanaugh affair. (US politics for those who don't know.)

Thanks for the recommendations Uncle Gizmo. Sometimes work stress can be intense, especially where legal matters can have serious financial consequences. I keep telling myself to only focus on the things that are in my control. There is nothing I can do about matters outside of my control.

We used to say "coloured" back when I was young. But then ten years later I was told off by my girlfriend back then that the correct term was "black". It had changed and no one told me! She was adopted into a family where her step father was black so it was particularly sensitive to her.

Oh my word, you are streaking ahead! 24 Likes now verses my 21!

I don't think the new iPhones are much of an improvement over last years.

You are right. Like quality does beat quantity. :ROFLMAO:
