It's great to get over COVID, it really is, but the lingering 'brain fog' is an irritant. Here's an example, with a bit of whining thrown in: I'm currently wide awake and knackered after four hours' sleep. Yesterday, I was given some new medication (Metformin, because I'm also diabetic), and I've forgotten the dosage my lovely nurse recommended. On the bus on the way back, I forgot to get off at my usual stop, and I've been living at my present address around twenty years. The joys, etc. I'm on Metformin as I'm type 2 diabetic just make sure take it after food not on empty stomach. As for brain fog i had that too post covid & if I'm honest i haven't felt 100% since i had covid in January 2021. I 'liked' your post because I'm grateful for the response, not because you also have brain fog - just to be clear! I'm hearing this a lot though, about the effects lingering. I'm a keen writer (I've published a couple of books) and I *cannot* get into it at all since COVID. It's very frustrating, but I realise things could be a lot worse. As for the Metformin - cheers for that. I'll make sure I have the tablets after meals. I would phone the surgery and ask, but the phones are always jammed. What times we are living in. |

Your welcome my friend, i used to enjoy writing reviews but since having covid i haven't the passion for it, i used to love Snooker & Tennis but again post covid i lost interest, the reviews i have wrote felt forced so i stopped until i can find my passion again. |

The passion is hardly there anymore, for anything. You know what's also bull***t? It's when you explain brain-fog, and friends say, 'no, that's completely normal', 'everyone forgets things', 'I do that all the time and there's nothing wrong with me.' *That* is really annoying - as if you're somehow 'pretending' or making it up! Gahh! |

I am sorry you have to battle through this. I actually have heard this a lot from many people who went through COVID, including my Yoga teacher who has now closed down her studio because of the ongoing COVID issues and is only offering an Online lesson a week anymore. And one of my colleagues here in my office also reports similar things- she basically freaks out quite often because she is just a headless chicken.
No, I do not think it is normal. Sending you hugs.

Something that always gets at me when I walk past the local filling station on my way to the shops - the way the UK insists on pricing units of fuel at 0.9 of a penny (one supermarket does 0.7). That has NEVER been legal tender and never will be. So why is it allowed? It is so misleading, and should be rounded to the nearest penny. Do any other countries play this silly game?
Before decimalisation, it was priced at 11d or 11 1/2d, which was completely doable in coin of the realm, but after 14 Feb 1971, we briefly had a New Halfpenny, which then disappeared. So the smallest legal unit of currency is a penny, which means the smallest amount of fuel you can buy is actually 10 units - not that they say this of course.
I doubt you can offer any other goods at impossible prices without getting taken to the Trading Standards, so why this bit of psychological flim-flam is allowed to continue baffles me.
ARGH!

Gas stations in the US do this, too. It's very, very odd. I guess it's so they can pretend it's 1 cent cheaper in the same way most MSRPs are $X.99 so they look 1 dollar cheaper, but I've yet to meet a single person who ascribes any real or imagined value to pennies. |

Just saw this on CNN: www.cnn.com/2022/06/14/energy/why-gas-prices-fraction-of-a-cent/index.htmlThe gist is that when the US government started taxing gasoline, the taxes were in tenths of a cent (gas was so cheap... Around 10¢ a gallon, that a 1¢ tax would have been 10%. Thus the fractions of a cent.) Don't know if the reasoning was similar elsewhere in the world. |

Working in Hospitality, it will always get to me that a small amount of customers will always be angry and act down right indignant that they cant get the exact thing that they want.
Im sorry that the fact we have over 200 people in our garden buying large round after large round, meaning we have to go to plastics as we only have one glass washer. Do you want a Piping hot glass making your beer flat? No? Take the goddamn plastic cup then

The next person to say that local honey cures hay fever is going to get my jar of extremely local (about 100 yards) honey smack in their kisser.
If you have the sort of mind that can persuade your sinuses not to fill up every year by eating honey, good on you. I'm jealous.
But bees make their honey from the pollen gathered from flowers, not the microscopic wind-blown stuff from grasses and trees that gets up my hooter. That's a fact. Deal with it.
ACHOO! Doh....

Actually, it is not honey that is recommended, but the pollen that the bees collect. These are these little balls that also come in glasses.
Honey is just the sugar the plants provide to attract the bees to do the sex courier for them (pollen is nothing other than plant sperm).
(my granddad was a bee keeper, hence this post. And now I quickly duck away, else things get thrown at me for being a insufferable know-it-all....  ) |

In some cases, the phrase “If you don’t like it leave” used towards someone who doesn’t like their job annoys me. It’s kind of lazy as it might not be as simple as that.

People that use their age as an excuse for their behaviour, especially the over 60s.

People who arent involved in a situation, trying to get themselves involved. Even though the situation itself has already been sorted

When people say I don't have a filter I say I'm 47 years old, I battle bipolar & manic depression & OCD everyday & I simply stopped being tactful & don't give a damm anymore.
