care-who does?
15 minutes that s the time given or allotted for helping people in thier homes..when i was doing a bit of home help it was half an hour and that felt rushed due to the fact you are dealing with people who have various problems,so i think this is disgusting andsomething needs to be done so stand up for your rights.
mental health -not all kilers
headline -1,200 killed by mental patients in last 10 years example given in newspper.but mental health is far too often spoken in terms of aggression and violence.1.2 million people are in trouch with secondary mental health services.i found through working in mental health most patients are more likely to harm themselfs or be verbally aggessive-scary but life threating.mind is campaigning for better crisis care,its time the nhs mental health services put treatment and care at the highest quality.also rememember everyone has a mental health issue once in thier lifetimes before you judge thier lives and above headline.

stepdad not the horror film
It is said being a parent is not easy and I agree. I became a parent instantly as my wife-to-be had 3 children. I have known them from the ages of 5, 6 and 13. It was difficullt at first to find common ground but after some time we gelled. I still find it hard not to get involved in their problems as I care a great deal for them. I also never asked them to call me Dad.
Global Warming - do something about it now
Tthe last 30 years have been the warmest for the past 1,4000 years. Sea levels are higher than 2,000 years ago. World's average temperature is 0.89C higher than 111 years ago. Saltwater has become more acidic since the begining of the industrial age. 2050 could see the Arctic ice free. Man is responsible. Get the governments and ourselves to do more before it too late to repair the damage.
back from the dead or nearly kicked the bucket
lying in my bed almost dead,machines wired to my body,air being pumped into my lungs,nurses,doctors hover over me doing tests,ticking charts,the world carrys on its orbit,i know not of events gone by.wife told to expect the worst,she has faith,i hear a voice in the darkness, a woman unknown,wake up she says,i am overcome with a powerful urge ,i awake,to this day people say it was just electons in my brain resparking,i believe it was a guardian angel,whos to know,its time to live again
respect
When I was unemployed I had to do employment training - £10 extra for this. One of my duties was to go to churchyards and cut the grass, tidy up, sometimes put gravestones back up that had fallen or been knocked down. Whilst doing this I learnt to respect the dead or people no longer with us. Even saw families gather to tidy up the graves of their lost ones. So I think the idea of placing another coffin on top of an old grave wrong.
1,is abled patients dyingin hospital-do something now
More than 1200 patients with learning disablitities are dying needlessly in hospitals. Doctors confuse signs of serious illness with systems of learning diffculties. Report by mencap the following has been suggested: a better complaints system in hospitals for families with learning disablities, a goverment reveiw board to record deaths and invesigate random cases so disabled get best care, a learning disablity nurse to be provided in all hospitals to liase with medical staff and famlies, extra training for doctors and nurses, famlies to be briefed and consulted before 'do not resuscitate' notices go up. These are people not their illness. I have worked with learning differculties and found that it is best to treat them how you would be treated. So do something about this, i.e. support the Sunday Mirror campaign, complain to your MP, stand up for their rights as we are all equal. read more
Playing catch-up for ex-essex weirdo
Why was I put back a year at junior school? My headmistress at the school decided to keep me and a girl back 1 year as felt we were not listening in the classroom. This affected me most of my life as I was playing catch-up at secondary school onward. I think this is what makes me feel insecure or paranoid. I have done stuff wrong and keep being annoying by asking if I have done stuff wrong.

Woolfardisworthy, Torridge
The name of the village is a local curiosity, as its pronunciation (and occasional spelling) differs from what one might expect. On local signs, the village is sometimes marked as Woolsery alongside the original name. This is due to the pronunciation of the village's name being /ˈwʊlzəri/. The name also provides evidence for the power of the written word in conserving place-names: the shortened pronunciation is known to have been in use since the 17th century.[2]
According to the Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names (Eilert Ekwall, 4th ed., 1960), the origin of the name is probably 'Wulfheard's homestead'. The element 'worthy' is from Old English worþig, one of several words used by the Anglo-Saxons to denote a homestead, farmstead or small settlement. Who Wulfheard was, or whether both Devon villages are named for the same man, cannot be known, but the relative proximity of two villages with such an unusual name is intriguing.
