Quote from: davina61 on September 08, 2026, 08:03:05 AMDentist today for a scrape and polish with the hygienist, 5mins work and £53 on the NHS robbing b******.
 Made mum breakfast this morning and found a pack of bacon in the fridge with use by 5th on it so put it in her air fryer and brought it home with me along with some of her tomatoes that needed using. Pasta, bacon and tomato for my lunch. Stayed at mums and did some jobs as didnt want to drive home just for a few hours, back home after dentist for 1.45 so got a lazy afternoon (I need one!)

Free Bacon!

I don't actually care about bacon but I wanted to make the joke. Wait is that American Bacon? If yours the same as ours? Does your chest get tight when you eat it, if not its not American bacon.

In the old times of the USA, barbers used to be the community "dentist." 

I am glad I do not live in those old times. 
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Controversial opinion but American bacon is not proper bacon. We do have it though, we call it streaky bacon over here there is a slight difference due to the different woods we use for smoking but it's both belly pork cuts.

We use back bacon which is way nicer, meatier, leaner and cut from the loin though it does include a tiny section of belly in it. If you can get it try it, It's far nicer. We also have a thing called Ayreshire roll which is the back bacon rasher with a full rasher of the streaky belly bacon attached basically the entire cross section of the piggy. Best of both worlds.

mmmm bacon!

Mum said can you collect my prescription, well I was calling in on docs to confirm my address (dont start me on that or I will rant!) . So after finding the dispensary was closed till 1.30 I then stood behind a woman talking to receptionist for what felt like 10mins, told her what I was doing and she said I need a form of identification .Back out to the car to get my drivers licence ,what a faff as been with the same docs practice for 71years!  Then I had to wait for dispensary to open only for them to say the prescription only went in 2 days ago and will be ready next week!! If you wait 15mins we can do it, I was a bit short with him and said if you make it up I will get it in the morning. I did say not getting at you just the system. What a PIA.

Yeah it is getting crazy now. You used to be able to go to the docs get a prescription on a piece of paper walk to the pharmacy hand it over  and pick up your meds. Now as it's all been "improved" by the digital revolution I have to wait up to 3 days for it to be ready!

Weird. Here the prescription is sent electronically to the Pharmacy. I pass the Pharmacy on my way out from the doc. And they have it just minutes after seeing the doc.

It is how it is here, except you get to the pharmacy and they say it wont be ready for 2-3 days! IT's a recent change. I think it might be because the government started telling people to see pharmacists instead of GP's for a whole rnge of things and now the pharmacists are too busy.

I am so sick of evey consecutive government cutting and scrimping with our public services. They have even been telling the armed services to stop non essential training to save money. What sort of a message does that show with Putin sabre rattling from the Kremlin?!! The British army is one of the best trained services in the world but they soon won't be if they won't let them train!

The pharmacy at the docs even has a robot shelf picker so no excuse for it takes time to find stuff. All this computer/ need to use a mobile app stuff is rubbish, I live in a fairly dense populated area and the phone signal is very poor.
