    Oranges and Lemons" say the bells of St Clement’s. “You owe me five farthings” say the bells of St Martin’s. “When will you pay me?” say the bells of Old Bailey. “When I grow rich” say the bells of Shoreditch. “When will that be?” say the bells of Stepney. “I do not know” says the great Bell of Bow.

    So many versions though, worth an internet deep dive.

    Edward Lear 1812 – 1888

    The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat: They took some honey, and plenty of money Wrapped up in a five-pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, “O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!”

    Pussy said to the Owl, “You elegant fowl, How charmingly sweet you sing! Oh! let us be married; too long we have tarried, But what shall we do for a ring?” They sailed away, for a year and a day, To the land where the bong-tree grows; And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood, With a ring at the end of his nose, His nose, His nose, With a ring at the end of his nose.

    “Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring?” Said the Piggy, “I will.” So they took it away, and were married next day By the turkey who lives on the hill. They dined on mince and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon, They danced by the light of the moon.




  • The crash was caused by part of the engine cowl from the previous flight (continental DC10) falling off and remaining on the runway

    wiki

    Whilst taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport, Air France Flight 4590 ran over debris on the runway dropped by an aircraft during the preceding departure, causing a tyre to explode and disintegrate… five minutes before the Concorde departed, Continental Airlines Flight 55, a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30, took off from the same runway for Newark International Airport and lost a titanium alloy strip that was part of the engine cowl…Concorde ran over this piece of debris during its take-off…cutting the right-front tyre of its left main wheel bogie and sending a large chunk of tyre debris into the underside of the left wing… It did not directly puncture any of the fuel tanks, but it sent out a pressure shockwave that ruptured the number 5 fuel tank at its weakest point, just ahead of the left landing gear well.





  • I never wanted kids. I have one now im 40, and no regrets there, but the fact they’re my biological child is bc my husband really wanted that. I would’ve been fine with adopting.

    Consider you meet an amazing woman who really wants kids, and her her you’ll do it, would you be OK with adopting? Or may e she wants to experience pregnancy, would you be ok with a sperms donor? You may find someone you really want to have kids with, in which case you may have to do a reversal. Ask the dr about all the options.

    Chances are you won’t change your mind, but you might, life is a funny thing. Have a plan and maybe even write a letter to your future self. What’s your reasoning?

    Your body your choice but this is a big decision, so think it through

    Eeeeeeep, yeah that’s super rough. Im sorry this person ended up being such garbage. I would recommend a chat with your dr, especially if your feelings persist. Im glad her family helped you out ❤️ and keep active for more good things to come. Sometimes the trash takes itself out, and her absence will create a space for more good to come into your life. Im so sorry she didn’t turn out to be the person you thought she was, but please be optimistic for the future. Even though right now it seems impossible

    About eight months ago I was in a similar place, not quite the same but similar. I ended up getting an online shrink and getting on some SSRIs. Im off them now, but still doing therapy. I feel so much more energy, so much more hope, i started crafting again! And having plans for the future! Sometimes our brain needs a little reset, or chemical kick up the bum. Ssris dont have to be a permanent solution they can just help with the reset if you want

    If you’re already on ssris change the type or the dose. You can also change your dr.

    Side story: it took me a long time to even get to the stage where I was able to admit I was struggling, and when I did I thought obviously prescribed amphetamines were the answer so I reached out to a adhd friend to get her Dr’s info. I had the initial consultation with him and he said I had unresolved trauma and depression advised me to seek a therapist and put me on Lexapro. I always get psychiatrist and psychologist mixed up, so I made an appointment for another drug Dr thinking she was a talk therapist. She listened to me and advised I take an as needed anti-anxiety drug (proponolol) and the ssri effexor. (Later she also prescribed me remeron for libido/orgasm side effects of effexor). I then went into marriage counseling and the first session the marriage counselor suggested she and I have one on ones. I say all this to say: you are allowed more than one dr, more than one drug and multiple types of help. I am now on no drugs, but am keeping up the therapy, single and marriage. I feel 1000× better and my journey, though still ongoing, seems accomplishable.

    TLDR: you can have more than one doctor
