    I visited the Emirates a couple of days ago. I just wanted to take a walk around the outside of the stadium, see the statues, take some photos and visit the club shop. I spent a couple of hours there in total. I’m English but have been living in. Amanda for the last 12 years and don’t get back nearly enough. I desperately wanted to go to the Sheff Utd game on Saturday but I wasn’t able to get tickets

    Looking for a job for months at this point. Man this is really mentally draining. But at least I’ve met really nice girl recently!

      Mate just keep applying and slogging and you’ll find something, it’s hard and demoralising but you need to persevere, keep interviewing and you will find the right place

      Im in the same boat. I’ve had a nice chunk of interviews, all of them ended with “we decided to go for another candidate with more adequate experience”. Except for one company that just stopped hiring people from the role I postulated whatsoever. I’m like a few days from grabbing an unpaid internship and working half time on a coffee shop.

    Joined a gym, haven’t trained in 6months. I’ve been walking a lot and my face has gotten smaller, I’ve lost all my muscle mass. But the newbie gains will be fun again.

      That sucks. On the other hand, winter is starting here in India and night temperature has dropped over 4°C over the past couple of weeks. Becomes difficult to go out late nights

    I have a fourth date tomorrow, I really like her but don’t feel the spark that everyone talks about. Is that bad?

      The spark might not be as important as compatibility. Do you want the same things out of the relationship as her, do your long term life goals align with hers and most importantly, are you happy being with her and she with you

      Honestly I would say no spark is not great…how’s the attraction? I’m not with my old partner anymore but I do remember that when we first met even a hug would send this feeling of warm electricity flooding through my body.

      Latest Oliver Tree album (Alone in the crowd) is nice to play in the background if you like pop

      Also I’m listening to “Tragic Love Songs To Study Vol. 5” by Duckboy. It’s great if you’re into early 2000’s pop punk

        I am into Country music these days. Plug in the Country Hotlist from YT music and do my office stuff. Pretty pleasing to the ears and the pace/tone helps me focus on work

    I’ve always considered myself quite intelligent. However, it only recently occurred to me, at 40 years old, that Mary Poppins was singing about mixing a spoonful of sugar INTO the medicine, and that children in those days weren’t being fed sugar by the spoonful to take away the bad taste.

    Now I am questioning everything else that I think I know.

    I just had to verbalise this somewhere.

      I understand. This is just like the other week when a pigeon had pooped on me, and I shaked my fist at it.

      Then fantasised about purchasing a jetpack, and seeing how it liked it.

      I had to to tell someone else to verbalise it. Sadly, she wasn’t as understanding.

    Cat got stomatitis so the vet removed all of his teeth except his front four canines on Wednesday. He seems better already, but his mouth is a hot bloody mess.

    This is after I had a root canal on Tuesday and was pleased that I didn’t have to have the tooth pulled.

    Life has a cruel sense of humor.

        He’s approx 2 years and 7 months old, so long life ahead. Don’t know his exact age as I rescued him off the street (he had conjunctival eye infection so nearly lost his sight.

        Yeah, that’s why the vet left the four canines in. So his tongue wouldn’t keep flopping out.

        If the condition doesn’t improve as a result, those will eventually have to come out too.

        Thanks man. Cracked my tooth on a piece of ninja chicken bone which led to a rando abscess. It’s cleared up in the gums but has very quickly (seemingly within 4 days) spread to my jaw. Antibiotics should clear it up.

        Dentist earning a down payment on his new car cleaning it out and treating it.

        Orion seems okay, and is mostly himself. Just lethargic and weird oral discharges. He’s eating and playing though but needs to get used to not relying on his teeth. I think he’ll be okay, and I hope the dental removal alleviates the issue.

        His gum line already appears pink though.

      Everyone involved knows the nerves youre feeling, they see it in basically every kid in your situation. Its so normal to them, so you dont need to worry about pretending to be totally at ease. Youll find yourself more at ease when youre in it, youll probably enjoy it. Just give it your best shot because its all you can do :)

    They better sign someone good this winter or next summer… I have an unexpected/last minute trip to London for the first time and basically just donated $40 for the Red membership just to be able to see no tickets available on the ticket exchange for the Burnley match… as an investor, I have higher expectations now. Use my money wisely. /rant
