That's it exactly!
(Except I'm nearly always cold and wear more layers than an onion)
Mam, have you had your thyroid checked? Classic sign mine is out of whack, when I am shivering under a down duvet, midday in summer temps.

Trying to figure out what the fog is going on outside. Main Street has all but disappeared once again, not sure whether I'm in Cork or in Silent Hill

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Diamonds of Frost - 12-01-2022
My feet are often cold but I do experience hot flushes and a sort of sudden clamminess now and again. Dunno. Will get my bloods done soon.

The hot flushes used to make me feel what I assume a normal temperature is

Bored.com here. Still, at least I have menopause to look forward to ...
No fog here, but it's cold and my back and knees do not like it. Anyone have the number of a glue factory handy?
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - ari101 - 13-01-2022
Menopause has it's benefits
I do dread Summer though, that heatwave last July flummoxed me I've got a probably dried up partially used tube of super glue somewhere if that will do...?

Last spring for some reason his show was a menopause special for about two weeks.
People calling his show get the hot flushes very easily

Another thyroid sufferer here. My meds were increased just before Christmas, the house was apparently a furnace and I was working under a fleece blanket with all the layers on. A sure sign bloods were needed
My mam has the same thyroid issues as me. She passes all the fun stuff onto me - like getting my gallbladder removed.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - cee_jay - 13-01-2022
I'm finding it so hard to concentrate on anything today thinking about the senseless murder of Ashling Murphy in Tullamore. I can't comprehend it all, in broad daylight too. I feel sick thinking about it.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - ari101 - 13-01-2022
Parents give us all the fun stuff!
Yes senseless stuff, makes me so angry. I get very obstinate about walking on my own and refusing to be bullied or scared out of normal behaviours. Muireann O'Connell was on Ireland AM talking about things women do or don't do to protect themselves or to avoid be blamed for some man's criminal act. Yes I want to keep myself safe but why should our culture make me think twice about wearing a skirt or walking alone just because I am female
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - nothing - 13-01-2022
I'm the same with walking/travelling alone, feel like "well, why shouldn't I?!"
Coursework has my head melted and my eyes blurry. Think I'll be taking a nap soon!

It reminds me of the Garda Horkan murder that happened last year. The senseless-ness of it.
And there was a poor lad shot in Dub a few days back. Every day you hear of a new tragedy.
May Aisling rest in peace.

Nobody should have to take precautions going for a walk or a jog anywhere. I heard Madigan on about legislation for self defence classes or rape alarms earlier and I just rolled my eyes, it's just more of the same victim blaming shite
The judiciary are not tough enough on domestic violence and sexual assaults, that is the inherent problem, far too many suspended sentences for these animals because of their 'tough upbringing' or something similar.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Diamonds of Frost - 13-01-2022
I see poor Aisling's murder as a horrendous crime against a person. Why must it be connected to womens safety? There are people in this world who do horrible things regardless of the who and the where.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - ari101 - 13-01-2022
It's a senseless act regardless of gender, etc. The circumstances are sympathetic for media attention and some situations just ring true. She was doing what I like to do, walk alone in a nice area (I do it in the local park on paths that wind among the trees), and some nutcase attacked her - maybe he would have attacked whomever he met, but it does make you think twice about your own safety.

That's what's so sad about all of this . Most people, regardless of gender, are very safety conscious these days and try not put themselves in danger . Which is exactly what this poor girl did , jogging in broad daylight in a public area which we all assume wouldbe safe .. ... We teach our kids as best we can , ways to protect themselves and to try avoid dangerous situations, not wanting to imagine such acts of horror could randomly happen to them .
Evil has no boundaries nor limits to deter a perpetrator from committing horrendous acts .

It's just a scam at the end of the day.
It sounds like the bubble has burst and now they are doing the same thing with Pokemon cards.
That lads name sounds familiar too, I'm not sure but I thnk he might have been involved in the games bubble.
If I find the video I'll post it.
edit: I found it, that Logan Paul lad wasn't involved. It was in fact millions the games were selling for! It's crazy that people have been pulling this same scam for years, they just change the product.
