its all about choices

Indeed - food, electricity bill, rent,phone.internet bill - or vital medic alert...

I want to go dnr now, and in the discussion with my gp she said I would need to get one of those to alert medical staff. Nope, not doing it. Thinking a tattoo on the wrist would be cheaper and a lot harder to ignore.

Heisenberg, is it all about choices? Like hi viz? Like vaxes? Letting someone else charge us for a service they profit from? Yes, I suppose it is. Same as getting a little bit of ink.

Now I just have to decide on the font.

[Lilith7]

You'll need something very clear & easy to read, quite large-ish letters.

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Nah, med staff have better eyes than moi, lol...

Though my bff, suggests I add Seriously! to it...

Well, no government is perfect, but if your comment is true, then the next election should be interesting.

And its not that far away either, next year if I'm not mistaken.

yes but this lot is trying to undo the damage done by the last lot

its a pity labour didnt win the last election then they would have been trying to sort out the mess they have made

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I just wish, whoever is in, they stop blaming the other lot. It is such a bad look.
