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
