Deepest sympathies my friend.
Wife’s cousin is stuck in beirut. She had decided to leave for good and went back to finish up two days before bombing started. Bombing is targeting Hezbollah south but it’s a few km from where she is. She lived near US and French embassies which will be targetted by Hezbollah. The airport’s in the same area so almost impossible to get to. Hardly any flights and everything over booked. French arent evacuating. It sucks.
My condolences, RIP your dad.
Take care and make sure to be kind to yourself as you process it all.
So sorry mate
Sorry to hear about this mate.
Spend time with your mum and your family, you guys all need that right now.
Sorry to hear this Darth, hope you and the fam are doing ok.
Sorry to hear this Darth.
Thanks folks for the kind words, not sure what to say or do at the moment, off work for the week and going to try and get some fresh air every day to keep on an even keel
Thanks again

Sounds wise mate. Please feel free to vent etc as much as you need/want to.
Sorry to hear this, my condolences to you and your family.
After my mum passed I found it useful to write stuff down every night, just thoughts and feelings. I think I only did it for about a month, but it was good to get stuff out of my head and unload of bit of that mental weight.
Sorry for your loss.

I might try that
Weirdly, and this is very weirdly, because I’m off work and my sister has decided to take the reigns on the funeral, I’ve found myself at a bit of a loose end, so I decided to catch up on a film today, the first of the 28 Years Later films (enjoyed it) and Raphe Feines doing his little monologue at the end gave me some weird comfort.
Just to confirm, I am not planning on constructing some sort of Bone Temple and washing myself down in Iodine anytime soon

I’ve never been more disappointed by a sentence.

For the second time in my life I’ve thrown my back out putting socks on.

I’ve done my back a few times with socks so I changed methods. I used to tuck knee to chest now I fold ankle over knee. I also avoid tight socks. Kind of sad really. Not sure where I go after this?
Started pilates for lower back and hips recently and that seems to help. Also trying to lose weight. I’ve got to lose 15kg total.

Yeah I think it might just be an unfortunate fact of life. I told my family about it and 3 of them said they’d done the same thing, the snurp clan must be genetically predisposed to sock based injury. Doesn’t help that I can’t fully straighten my left arm so I think I naturally twist my back more than the average person when reaching for stuff.
Annoying thing is I’ve been getting fit as fuck recently. Everyone says building a hench back protects you from injury, that might be true with a heavy barbell but I don’t think it helps with sneezing and dressing yourself, and with more meat on your bones there’s more meat to injure. We’ve been lied to.

Oh go on then
What is your diet like at the moment?
Not amazing but not terrible. I eat a bit of everything and when I’ve had a couple days of pizza/restaurant food I crave some veg. My weight stays stable but I know I’m overweight for my age/height. According to my doctor I should be 15kg lower but not reasonable to try and cut it in one go. Better to lose it slow and steady and realistic so that I can maintain it.
