Kitsune

So strap in cause this is a long one.
A few months ago I lost my engagement ring. I'd piled on a few pounds over the lockdowns and it no longer fit on my ring finger, so I had to wear it on my pinkie for a bit, but it was a little too big. So one evening it slips off my finger round my house. I noticed about 5 minutes later when I got into the car and it had gone. We looked all over but couldn't find it, naturally I was devastated.
Fast forward a few months and @SgT.Chris sends me a photo from his house. It's my engagement ring. My only theory is that it slipped off into my hoodie pocket and when I took my hoodie off round his it may have fallen out onto the floor.
Where did he find it you ask? In the cat tower, there's a little hidey hole in the base and he found it in there.
So the question is: did my tiny princess hide it to keep it safe? Or is she just a little shit who likes to steal my stuff?
Here's a picture of her to help you guys decide

Also do share any weird pet stories with me, I'm fascinated my any shenanigans our babies get up to.

I'm so sorry to hear this happened to your friend. I've lost a friend to suicide myself and I don't think I ever fully recovered from it, you always get the 'what if' feeling hanging over you. I make it a point to be there for people now, even if I come across as overbearing or clingy, I want them to know that I care and will hear them out.

ha! i got 14038 profile views, thank you for stoppin' by. hugs to all those who check my profile out.

A few years ago I found out that one of my old friends from my UT 2000  gaming days killed himself.  He was super depressed.  His girlfriend at the time was cheating on him and she was pregnant with another mans kid.  He pretty much did everything he could for her and nothing worked.   He disappeared for years, and then I found out he killed himself due to depression. He stopped talking to everyone,  stayed to himself, he had a good job, but the pain was eating him up inside.  We all go through things in life, and we have our ups and downs, but if anyone who is reading this has thoughts of ending their life or ever has, you need to reach out to someone - XI or not.  We are gamers, but most importantly, we are a family.  

Idk Rob this sounds like a 'Northener' problem as opposed to a 'socialism' problem to me.
Just another day in t'North 😂😂
 
 
(Pssst. I'm making a joke btw, I need to make that clear because some people don't understand you know)

It should be a requirement for @wildthing to be quiet for a game every now and again 😉😘

Holy shit does that mean even I can kill him??

I dont think this is a left or right problem but rather people in general who think they are entitled to better care above and beyond anyone else. I reside In Canada where violence or harrassment of staff is not tolerated PERIOD!  Workers may refuse to perform dangerous work using the Dangerous Work Refusal Process here in Alberta. If any staff member feels threatened in the midst of their duties, they may refuse to do such duties. 
We are all entitled to a safe and secure work environment regardless where we work. Sadly this is not just healthcare staff being subjected to this. This article is from today. Its society in general.

In all seriousness though my two pennies is: NHS is GROSSLY underfunded and GROSSLY understaffed and yes, the abuse of staff across all departments is nothingshort of disgusting and exacerbatingthe problem. Simply put, people don't want to work for the NHS because the sheer amount of financial cuts means the pay isn't good enough for the shit they would have to deal with from entitled pricks who think they should be waited on hand and foot. And why would they when they can take a nice fat paycheck in the private sector or even moving abroad with their shiny new medical degrees where the pay is better? This makes the staffing issue so much worse, increasing the pressure on the current staff, and destroying their mental health (for which services are also grossly underfunded) in the process. It's a vicious cycle tbh, where does it end?

This has turned into a dark conversation I am not comfortable with. I have worked hard and treated every patient with the respect and dignity they deserved, and what I hope for if I was a patient as well.
If you wish to make a statement that you have experienced or witnessed poor treatment, or even preferential treatment to others then I would advise you talk to someone in your health authority or your local MP, MLA or state representative. 
I myself have worked with some amazing individuals in my career who have given themselves tirelessly to their profession. Yes, I have met some you also treated this as a pay check but gratefully they could not make as a career. Is it possible that some individuals let their own personal ideals cloud their work, yes its possible. I just have not witnessed it in my career and I am grateful.
I stress again, you have concerns and yes make allegations then I suggest you contact someone. Your not doing any any good venting here, maybe go outside and scream at clouds, at least then you are getting some exercise. 

Lmao how many winky/kissy faces do I need to put to make it clear that I'm teasing you 😝

Having tits goes a long way here 😂
Ohhhhh boy I just shuddered at that thought thanks 😂

I am sure they have all gotten pretty good at multitasking so they can do both at the same time. How is that for a revolting thought.

Trenchcoat ready, finger on the 'button', uncle Rob always ready to help dear, in the words of a famous group 'dirty deeds done dirt cheap'
