I think I had the beginnings of scurvy. For the past several weeks I've been rather remiss on vegetables intake and by this time last week, my gums were bleeding when I brushed my teeth (which I do 3-4 times a day) and there seemed to be some nose bleeding and dry lips etc. Also, I was having a long afternoon nap every day - something I'm accustomed to anyway- but these were going on an hour or more longer than normal.) Anyway, I've been taking these chewable Vit C + Vit D tablets every day for about 10 days (500mg C, 25microg D) and it's all stopped. Also not had - or felt I needed - an afternoon nap for 3 days in a row now.

I remember trying to rewatch one of the LotR films when they hit dvd and even at that point and on tiny TV the cgi was too poor to take seriously. They were a fun cinema experience but keep the nostalgia and don't go back

So many bad LotR opinions itt The Hobbit films are trash though. Weird CGI instead of practical effects, the barrel scene, that weird shot in 3D blurry background look, no Gollum sex scene and the fact that they upset my mainan McKellen Ive not seen the third, tried a rewatch during lockdown and didn't make it half hour into the first.

Not that it's not good or anything I've just seen it for what feels like a million times already (probably closer to 3 or 4 times) you just need a second breakfast. I have msgd my sisteers god-parents about my neice and nephew on facebook. It is depressing, even though they are from Bromley. [edit] facebook is depressing

Jaeluni Asjil posted:I think I had the beginnings of scurvy. Once in the morning, once before bed. Don't rinse (water or mouthwash) after brushing - washes away the fluoride. If you're feeling a bit skanky during the day, rinse with mouthwash. Floss once a day (I do it before my evening brush). But yes, I feel you on the vits thing. I've been feeling pretty sluggish, and see it as a combination of being stuck mostly indoors and the fact I have only eaten food of varying shades of brown for the past two weeks.

They're still the best cinematic blockbusters in recent memory and I'll happily watch the 10-12 hour extended cut on a yearly basis. Hell I rewatched the Hobbit trilogy recently too and even those aren't nearly as bad as I remembered (still really loving bad though, don't watch them).

Rats opinion of lord of the rings will be exaggerated because they feature his adopted homeland. Im being ghosted by a latvian man I wanted to dig out my hole.

LOTR is a good time, but anyone who thinks they benefit from a four hour runtime is absolutely insane. The Hobbit films are terrible, and I'd go so far as to describe the last film as an embarrassment to everyone involved.

LOTR is incredible, made all the better by outstanding practical effects, costuming and on location shooting. The Hobbit is bad.

The bits of the Hobbit that I considered standout scenes at the time (the Gollum and Smaug scenes) really don't hold up all that well either. 2002 Gollum holds up better today than 2012 Gollum does. There's something too fluid about the newer one - like they're going for ultra-realistic motion but it just makes it look more like an animated character. Ian Holm looks loving weird too. I know he's a decade closer to death but his hairline is in a completely different place. Could they not find the old Bilbo wig?

Collateral posted:Even after being stopped for 15 loving years, I still dream about smoking. Even during those dreams, you refuse it for a while. Then you wake up and feel, phew, it was just a dream. Yo9ur body will always crave nicotine. You have trained it to do this. I haven't reached the level of my grandad. He used to smoke 40 a day, and despises the smell now. Walking past a pub 2019 or so,, sniffing the aroma, I do not hate the smell the way my grandad does. I remember him telling me about his (shorst) time in Malaya. He had already quit by this point. He was in the back of an army transport plane. The guys next to him sparked up n offered my grandad one. Want a smoke mate? Yes. My grandad had to quit a second time then. My grandad had been through alot by then, Korea in the early 50's. Just anywhere the british army had been in south-east asia.

Cyril Sneeer posted:compareed to the films, how bad are the books. The LOTR books are fairly inpenetrable - they were basically the first 'modern' high fantasy novels and Tolkien was a loving weirdo who would rather spend 200 pages talking about a forest than the actual plot. They're great if you can get into them though. The Hobbit is a kid's book and dirt simple. It's worth a read and won't take long.

There is a companion piece made by tolkein and a musician friend of his for how the songs should sound in Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit. The Hobbit is very readable even if it kind of loses the plot a lil after Smaugh dies.

Years ago I had a boyfriend who smoked quite heavily. He was a charge nurse on permanent night duty and had a lot of other things to deal with. A few months after we broke up, we had a 'where did it go wrong' chat and one of the complaints he had against me was that I never nagged him to give up smoking! I told him I thought he had far bigger problems than smoking and trying to give up at the same time as dealing with all that was going on would have guaranteed fail and made him feel even worse. (It was also apparently a mark against me that I never nagged him for us to move in together, a lucky escape as I discovered later just how many times he had moved in with women, and, after a few months, the women would merrily go off to work being all smug about their gorgeous 'live in lover' and come home to his half of the wardrobe and chest of drawers emptied out and no sight or sound or even a note from him to say he'd left. He was a lovely arm ornament though for weddings and parties.)

This morning I told my manager my mum starts chemo on friday & I'm part of her support bubble. He was not overly happy... I emailed our H&S guy at work & explained the deal.... He was really good. Upshot is.... I've got to work at home 'as best as possible' for the next 9 months or so. As long as mum pulls through this should be a good time
