So what happens when you cant afford it ? What a disgusting way to treat its citizens to make them pay for this test. Im glad i live in the UK.

Hiya, yes i agree. Tomorrow morning, i will be taking my daughters into town to make sure that they realise how important it is for us all to just think about our ancestors. They are strong children and we will all walk and lay a wreath for my grand and all of his family who suffered in the past. I think its very important to them to be aware of how people suffered in the past and to be proud of them. As English people, we should teach our children to have respect for their forefathers and mothers. My childrens father is from Ireland but he will also be joining us as his family also lost family during the great war. My mother is Irish and she will also be joining us . x

It helps me to realize how lucky i am . Good luck xx

link removed Read this then imagine how you would have felt .

Reality to me is realizing how my ancestors coped. I feel sorry for myself and yet have looked into my background and found that my life is great compaired to them. I must be a strong person because i am here today, alive and well. Death was an everyday thing about 100 years ago. All they thought about was how to get through the next day and how they were able to feed their children. They did not have any money or any food and were living in filth in back to back houses in England. If you woke up alive, you were very lucky. No birth control, no help from the state. Send your lovely sons off to join an army so that they could feed the rest of you. Tuberculosis and diptheria from damp living conditions and lack of food and poor sanitation were the order of the day. If you couldnt manage this then you were sent packing off to a place called "The Workhouse " The workhouse, was a great big building for people who were unable to look after their family due to either ill health or no work. It was a last refuge for anyone who was desperate or sick. The people who were admitted to the workhouse lost any sense of being a human being. They had no choice in the matter because they were destitute. Maybe thats why people in the UK are so hard these days. It was a case of live or die and this was only around 100 years ago. Some people think that as a race the British are fighters. They had to be and we today are a result of their efforts. Some still live in dumps but we do have a national pride that is in our genes and are fighters for what is right.

God bless my 6 great uncles who were killed in Ypres and god bless my Great gran who lost her husband and had to raise her 13 children in a slum and make ends meet being a washer woman. God bless the strength that women like her had in the past and who raised her children with no money but made sure that they were all well fed and clean even though the walls were crawling with damp and the floors were full of rats. God bless her that she went without food to feed her babies and died with breast cancer. God bless the fact that i am alive and well thanks to the line carrying on. Paschendale, Crimea, Ypres, Korea, Belgium, Flanders, India, Germany. etc Dont ever forget them because we are alive because of them. Dont ever forget those men and women who were tortured in the name of freedom and always remember them with pride. If it was not for them then we would be in a right mess now.

I think that there is a point to life. We are all here and all born the same way and we will all die. If you are ever in doubt or in a mess in life then always think to yourself that its a certainty that someone else is worse off than you. This is no answer to people who are suffering and at the time that you are in pain or feel that life is bad. I realize that life is crap and to some folk , Jesus is not always the answer. Reaching out to other people and asking for help from them is the answer because people as humans do care and its better to share a problem than to lock it up and close down the doors. We are all living in a cold and harsh place but to go it alone is not the way. Peace is the way x

Yes they do watch us and they think that we should Live life because we are able to do what they were so denied to do. They want us to live in their memory, as people who are alive and who can live. They dont want us to feel down just because we "feel pain on their behalf" They want us to live on and they also know how you and many others feel about all the horrible and wicked things in the past so that we should all remind others that life is not as it appears but that we should tell others that if it was not for the past then we should not be alive right now. Im not religious but have i feeling that the world is not quite right at the moment.

SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS BUT YOU REALLY MATTER. You cant help having this illness and its not your fault so lets concentrate on you and how you feel right now about life please. Spill, rant and rave if you will feel better. Im no expert but i have also felt stuff like you do and i got through so hang in please because you do matter and are important ok. Im in England too so talk to me please.

Get a bin liner and throw all your past into it. Write it all down on paper and throw it in the bin liner. Lets take one thing at a time here. Lets take you and your feelings first and never mind aboutanything else at the moment. Lets think about how you feel, right now, about life ok . YOU MATTER RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING WITH FEELINGS AND ARE FEELING DOWN .

Hey you ! Guess what ? You are a human being and you do matter in this rotten world so hang in there ok please.

Hello,does this man know that you are single and does he know what has happened in your past ?

First of all, get evidence and really appreciate your intuition as it matters and is there for a reason. A mate aint no mate if she does this and as for the bloke, dump him .

Hi, i passed out about 4 hours ago from this. I dont take the pill and have not had sex for about 8 months but my period was late. I went shopping and had a dizzy head and my friend had to bring me home. I have had to change my drawers 3 times in an hour and have passed great big lumps of blood or clots and its driving me nuts. I had a pap test that was fine last week and 3 blood tests all fine and im quite fit apart from having suffered bi polar. I eat a very healthy diet and swim most days and i feel sooo ill and wiped out today.

Im 41 and i would not date anyone who expected me to pay the bill or split it. When i was younger, i would always go dutch or share but not anymore. Theres always another guy who will pay for me and if he didnt then i would just walk out of the restaurant and jump in a cab home. Age makes me more choosy lol.
