sharkyvilla Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Each new day is a smaller proportion of your life. I think that's why time seems to go quicker the older you get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. 5 years as a 25 year old seems an age. As a 50 year old its nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The old woman who told me off for trick or treating when I was a kid, telling me it’s an American thing and that it’s begging, despite her having Halloween decorations up... ...she knocked our door this morning to ask if we could get her some shopping.

Did you? You should have agreed, and bought her nothing but 'fun sized' chocolate bars. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try and think of a “trick” to play though. I dunno, loosen the lid on the milk or something. A trick 25 years in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then when you delivered it, just beat her and rob her of all her jewellery or summat LOL. I was always pretty good at pranks an'that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2018 Just now, Xela said: When a girl* I was laughing and joking with recently said "I wish my Dad was as cool as you" *she was 19 A twist on that: my younger daughter, when she was about that age, got chatted up by some lad at a party, and she said to him: "You remind me of my Dad". He was aghast, and said so. She replied: "Hey, that was a compliment - my Dad's cool". That's my girl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2018 I got properly shit up this morning. I got asked to grab something that's under a load of boxes in the conservatory for a family friend. A couple of minutes of that and I found myself out of breath. No worries though. An hour or so later I decide to head over to the outdoor. A minute walk. I was out of breath by the time I got there, walked in and felt like I was gonna collapse, heart was pounding, couldn't catch my breath. Manage to stumble back home struggling for breath, get in the door, heart pounding, bent double trying to get my breath, 10 minutes later I'm still short of breath. Took my shoes off and I was out of breath doing that, after I recovered a little. Genuinely thought I was having a heart attack or something. **** terrifying. Still don't feel great, still short of breath, wheezy, but I'm not nearly collapsed on the stairs heart pounding. Nearly called a bloody ambulance. Doesn't help once had a weird ache in my leg the last couple of days that has my brain screaming 'DVT!'. I think I've got a chest infection. Will be making my third doctor's visit in a week Monday I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BillyShears Posted March 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2018 If it's that bad go to A&E Chindie. Together with the aching leg you are right it screams Pulmonary Embolism. If I triaged you, you would be in the immediate stream with your symptoms and history. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to waste anyone's time, I'm sure it's just a chest infection. If it happens again I'll call 111. I'm just wheezy and tired now wth a bit of a headache. Still short of breath. I'm sure I'll be fine. Genuinely never been so scared in my life. Edited March 3, 2018 by Chindie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn’t be wasting anyone’s time - get yourself sorted. If its ‘just’ a chest infection you’ll get the right treatment and peace of mind!

Give 111 a call, it can't do any harm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like you've scratched your knee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
