It's funny how the position for boot-licking is so close to the one used for curb-stomping.

Naw, 4chan is still much worse.  I mean /pol/ is basically Stormfront for Kids at this stage.  Reddit's more like The Von Mises Institute for Short Bus Crowd.

In other news, I've had 3 hours of sleep a night, on average, for the past week.  Sometimes the pipes here go beserk and my box room/flat gets dangerously hot and I'm unable to do anything, least of all sleep.  However my heating does appear to be fixed now, so maybe tonight I'll catch up.

And I've heard from a friend that a college up Oxford way may be looking to replace their current arrangements for the male students with a full time Houseparent.  So, speculative CV has been sent.

Good luck, I hope the job exists and you get it.

This week, either Monday or Wednesday, is apocalypse week.

It's when I dump a metric ton of shit on Lillie's parade.

There is a certain freedom in being in a position in which action MIGHT fuck you, but inaction WILL fuck you.

Also, I feel a little spiritually arsonist.

Neither can I.  Seriously.  Neither can Ed.  Neither one of us has anything to lose, and I know the right words to make HR froth at the mouth, or at least be forced to act.

Quote"Flesh And Blood"

Beside a Singin' Mountain Stream
Where the Willow grew

Where the Silver Leaf of Maple
Sparkled in the Mornin' Dew
I braided Twigs of Willows
Made a String of Buckeye Beads;
But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need.

I leaned against a Bark of Birch
And I breathed the Honey Dew
I saw a North-bound Flock of Geese
Against a Sky of Baby Blue
Beside the Lily Pads
I carved a Whistle from a Reed;
Mother Nature's quite a Lady
But you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need.

A Cardinal sang just for me
And I thanked him for the Song
Then the Sun went slowly down the West
And I had to move along
These were some of the things

On which my Mind and Spirit feed;
But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need.

[SPOKEN]

So when this Day was ended
I was still not satisfied
For I knew ev'rything I touched
Would wither and would die
And Love is all that will remain
And grow from all these Seed;

[SUNG]

Mother Nature's quite a Lady
But you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need.
just this

My sister has been suffering from bad knees for a while - figured it was just a part of her job, working with horses.

Nope.

They don't know what it is yet, but the best bet is early onset arthritis. She's been told her options range from surgery to never being able to ride again. The NHS, as ever, is dragging it's ass on finding anything out because either way she won't die so it isn't a priority.

Except she's been riding since she was six years old, and it is essentially her life.

She's trying to put a brave face on it and stay upbeat, but I've never seen her so scared. We're very, very fortunate that my dad can essentially afford to throw money at the problem to at least get specialists looking at her ASAP, but it doesn't sound like there's any good outcomes here.

Damn, that sucks.
Tell her a random guy on the internet hopes she gets better.
Or, you know, bionic knees specially made for riding horses.

Can't say I didn't see something like this coming, but I admit to being surprised he shot his wad so fast.
