I know I'm getting to be a grumpy old woman.  ;)

Based on lunch with a co-worker today, minor rant...  People who don't eat (meat/wheat/gluten/dairy/carbs/alcohol/fat/protein/fruit/poop/insert whatever...) and who also then make the huge leap of logic (via unsolicited advice) then to assert/believe/say that those things must therefore be unhealthy for others to consume as well.  FFS!  ::)

Do what you want to do, by all means - for allergy, conscience, fad, diet, whatever...but live and let live.  :P

That's totally random. I mean, I'd hardly argue that a diet of pure lard is healthy, but if that's what someone wants to eat, go for it. Personally, I don't eat meat, but I don't care if anyone else eats it, with the possible exception of bacon because it smells so strong that I get queasy.

I'm all about live and let live, though, it's a good life motto.

Yeah, and right now I'm cold (had to put on a fleece just now), and I had horrible cramps first thing at work this morning - wanted to crawl under my desk and die.

It's been a wonderful day!  :P

 :-X  Hee hee!  I remember when you put that up on FB.

Or that it means we will never be quite as close as we could be.

I read that last line of the article & think - huh, don't flatter yourself.  ::) :P

Mmmm...halloumi is amazing. I can't believe I never ran into it before moving to London.

Mine is that the stupid neck crick from yesterday is still bothering me. I can move my head about 80 degrees, and that's it. I worked from home today so that I wouldn't aggravate it further, and nothing has changed. :(

You need to see a chiropractor or massage therapist!  Also, a damp towel heated up in the microwave will really help loosen it up.

"can you do a press event all next week?"

"No, I'm really fracking busy"

"I've already volunteered you"

....

*starts working*

"Hey, do we have kit organised for this event?"

"Dunno"

*Wonders where on earth I'm going to get 30 xboxes in 3 days and cries quietly inside*

EVERYONE LEAVE ME ALONE!!! :(

(I'm all right really, just stressed, in pain, wanting to see a proper doctor and not wanting to speak to 30 journalists about a game I know nothing about.)

Yeah, I should. Problems are that 1) I don't know any and don't want to just go to one out of the phone book 2) I'm cheap ;) (though that factor will go away soon if this doesn't improve!)
