Thinking about Catherine's visit to the (very) local Windsor garden centre during recuperation.
Does anyone else , when they are on sick leave from work, feel really guilty leaving the house at all , e.g. popping out to the corner shop even if for virtuous reasons as for getting ibuprofen and chicken soup supplies.
But recuperation is getting out and about gradually, hopefully with someone with you as back-up.
With me it dates back to getting in trouble for eating on the street in school uniform, I lived a 40 minute bus journey from the school and got copped in my local area by a prefect, no hiding place.

Yes, being chronically unwell, especially usually with symptoms that most people blow off as "that's just a bit of sneezing", taking a break and especially doing something else feels like cheating. But part of recovery is building up stamina and resistance bit by bit.

Took an off on Monday because of my eyes (turned out to be allergic conjunctivitis with chances of long-term injury if the symptoms don't abate soon), but I kept feeling weird and guilty, especially around the times I have weekly meetings, even though I was in too much pain to be "all there". Even now I'm feeling guilty about being online when I should be resting, but I'm beyond bored because all of my hobbies involve fumes/dust so I'm trying to avoid them. Screens are safer 🤷

With long Covid, I started travelling last year for work. Closer than I used to go before, but still too far for comfort (claustrophobia is back and much worse, and I'm not used to travelling alone, or much). The first time dad went with me, second time I carpooled with a colleague. Hoping to travel by train soon, likely after elections. Then a plane, then on my own. I've got people telling me that I'm being stupid and to just get over it.

I think, or at least do hope, that Catherine is far stronger and more self-assured than I am, and she has a strong support system who won't let her feel too badly or compromise on her recovery ❤️

Had Smegs been in her shoes, she would have milked it for all eternity. The "fire in the nursery" still cracks me up 😂

I remember this story unfolding. To my husband’s credit, he immediately distrusted the entire scenario. Just as disappointing as the media’s handling of the situation, the University’s treatment of the team was worse. They didn’t care what the truth was. Each student was punished, even Lacrosse team members not present at the party. Eventually lawsuits had to be filed, but it still took years (and a lot of money) to clear their names. No consequences to the false accuser.

These players had family and resources to help them. How many average people can do the same? That’s the scariest thing about all these groups H&M are associating themselves with. Shutting down opposing views and people that call out lies or bad behavior is what H&M care about. I still feel that the results of bullying report should be released. Those victims deserve justice, but it looks like there are no consequences for H&M.

I was…close to this case. The coach was fired for suggesting that Duke wait until the DNA came back before shutting down the team, expelling the accused and allowing 88 faculty members to ‘thank’ protestors calling for violence. He pleaded…”Wait for the truth.” The reply was..”It’s not about the truth.”

This was 2006…but here were the seeds of the Woke mania we deal with everywhere today.

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE TRUTH.

As for Crystal Mangum, the false accuser…shortly afterward she set her boyfriends apartment on fire..with her children inside!!! There were no injuries, thank God, and since she was Sister Survivor she received a judicial slap on the wrist. A few years after that…oops…she murdered a different boyfriend. This was covered VERY quietly in the media.

She remains in prison today.

At the time, alumni supporters of the boys started a movement to donate only 88 cents to any requests from Duke. That was meant to signify the outrage at the cowardly submission to those 88 rapid professors. Recently my neighbor brought her son and daughter-in-law to a dinner party we hosted. They are ‘double-Dukies”…undergrad and Duke law. They still only give 88 cents to this day.🥰

I don't know of you've come across it, but I use BROLENE eye drops , few times a week even if they aren't playing me up.....the Optician told me about them , and they are anti-bacterial . They prevent eye infections as well. Since being told , I've used them for 3 or 4 years now. Can recommend them ! You can buy them over the counter but not all chemist's carry them ( though will order for you)

I’m so sorry. I suffer agoraphobia, sometimes much worse than others and travel can be a problem. At times it has very much faded and I hope it does for you because then you know it can be alright. But I think Long Covid, like other post viral syndromes really affects the nervous system too, and things like panic attacks and anxiety and phobias can get much worse after it. You’re not being stupid. Things need to be taken gently.
 
For what it’s worth I think the reason people are claiming the vid from Windsor is being ‘doubted is the reaction of the flash to POWs make up - it looks to be a bit over baked under her eyes which highlights them, if that makes sense? It hasn’t reacted well on camera.

Just something I've been thinking today... Is anyone else wondering about all the conspiracy loonies crawling out of the woodwork and populating any and all forums and comment sections lately...? Some message boards I used to frequent in the past that had good discussions going are suddenly filled with mindless babble about body doubles, plastic surgery and covert murders (yet, when you mention all these do actually take place but most likely for example in a certain country currently attacking another one, they think you're crazy). Sometimes it's new commenters, sometimes they seem to have been there for a longer period of time but I cannot remember ever paying attention to their posts before. It's also all the completely sane people around you, at work, circle of friends, relatives... suddenly many start to question everything and everyone. Don't get me wrong, questioning things is fine but when it reaches the levels of borderline paranoia and psychosis, then...

I am getting seriously annoyed by all this. I've been editing photographs and creating computer graphics for decades now. Suddenly everyone is shocked to find people touch up photos or that the image of cousin Ellie riding a unicorn into the sunset between trees made of ice cream cones wasn't a real photo but a manipulated and falsified image?!

This is getting seriously out of hand. There are now people who don't even trust the people they see before them are real people or who they claim to be. I just want to go somewhere far, far away and forget about this madness.

It's organized chaos brought by Anti Democratic countries during war particularly in an election year.

The BOTs have very specific demographics. At the beginning of the Ukraine war it was Chinese and Islamic India mostly. Then Russian and other paid groups like sex workers in those countries. Today it's clearly a combination dominated by Pakistan and a few select but extremely coordinated groups that have a vested interest in the Gaza nightmare.

Typically groups that are Anti-Democracy are also Anti-monarchy.

This was found on Twitter last month!

So many tongues wagging on X about the Princess of Wales, they are vipers making my bloodboil. And TMZ - Harvey Levin is so excited, he's practically wetting his pants with anticipation for his Special about Kate. I used to like him, now I have insults for him that would get me banned anywhere else. News about Kate should not be trending under Entertainment. Yet That's what I saw. It makes me sick. And the phony rumors! Disgusting. .
BTW according to family Search, I'm like a 16th cousin removed a few times from....HLMTQ! Also George Washington, Marilyn Monroe, and Muhammad Ali. I must be related to some of you!

Thanks for the great new thread @slavand great title @Duee ! It's so fun, but so true.
Aro~ Anither Rip Off! I love it. Ty both for making it happen! ❤ :m 💐 🌹 ❤💐

We're blessed with 4 serious family historians in our family - one a full-on professional in Canada. My 30yrs of amateur genealogy pales in comparison!
Nonetheless, one thing I've learned is that just about all we humans are related, often quite closely.
So, I also know that you and I are related! ❤ Hello there, cuz!! 🙋‍♀️💞

I'm not actually here said:
Except according to his interview, he only sent it to his family WhatsApp in Portugal, and then some bright spark at work said it might put all the rumours to bed if it was sent to the press.

Sounds like he is arse covering himself to me.

The press would know that they couldn't publish that information as its a data breach.

I guess the person who gained access could post it online anonymously.
We've had plenty of people on this forum claiming that they have inside knowledge of something and writing all sorts of rubbish.
There was someone not too long ago that insisted the Rose rumour was true because 'they knew' it was.

Both Tom Bower and Dan Wootten have insinuated that they know it was a 'serious operation'. How the hell do they know any more than the rest of us?

I was told by a friend of the Queen’s cousin that she had bone cancer, this was months before she died. I did not put this on Tattle as I felt it was nobody’s business to spread it around as I do think medical info should be private. I did not ask about her by the way, it was just told to me.
