I deadlifted 135 lbs. (61.24 kg) yesterday afternoon!

For me, a "fluffy" 5'6" (168-cm-ish) woman, this is a major moment. I've been forcing myself to go to the gym for 8 weeks, and it's beginning to pay off.

Being flagged on steam community forums and contacted by a random steam community moderator with a demand to pull down my avatar (a pre-war anti-nazi, anti-soviet poster with Htiler and Stalin ridiculed). At first I laughed, since community rules don't say anything about avatars until the stuff posted is straightforwardly offensive (pornography and such), but then I realised:
demanding to pull off that propaganda poster basically means that steam community moderators support both national socialism and soviet communism.

Do you have a larger image of your avatar? I'm a history nut and my mother is an antique dealer with an impressive collection of WW1 and 2 posters (one of which I have over my bed) and such so I'd like to have a better look at it and show it to her as well.

If I recall correctly it was released just after Soviet aggression on Poland 17.09.39. Or after the Ribbentrop-Molotov treaty, but that's less likely.

I'm now officially on disability pension. Not that I'm in love with having a massive anxiety disorder but it's one less thing to be anxious about. It doesn't look like my income will be greater than on disability welfare but that's fine, I'm a socialist that did not mind having 1/3 of my income going to the government and as a socialist I do not expect a safety net on which I can have the same life as when I was working.

And I might be partially wrong, my income might be a bit more now but one aspect of my disability is the inability to concentrate when reading important official paperwork (It's like the part of my brain that know how to read shuts down). I gave everything to my little brother so he can explain it to me. Without him and the support of the rest of my family I might have killed myself by now.

I also just learned that one of my favorite person here is a history lover, it always make me feel less like an alien when I find people who enjoy the same things I do. (at 5, my imaginary friends were in a space ship in Earth orbit).

This person, the blog & the resulting debate in combination:

http://aarikanlotta.fi/otaniemi-feministin-follow-up-myrsky-kylpyammeessa/

It is nice to see there is possibility to raise a priori low threshold contention topics with for the most good manners debate following; and the initiating person having the strength and patience to answer even the catty and unkind sort of answers.


For the most whom shall not know Finnish, the blog was about moral disappointment that the most prestigious Technical University in Finland (TKK, Otaniemi, Espoo; now part of Aalto University) has influence heavy, prestigious student guilds that are by appointment and males only.

To think that power and prestige wielding structures at the pre-root of the subsequent career and at the core of a student experience should be gender segregated, in Finland, in 2015??

Shocked to learn, happy to know! Ja hauskaa vappua kaikille.

Apparently some nerd scientists have cracked the code and we now have the secret recipe to Ecto-Cooler, the greatest non-alcoholic beverage to ever grace God's green Earth. Being able to make my very own batch of Ecto-Cooler makes me very happy, indeed.

http://ghostbusterschicago.com/content/ecto-cooler-recipe

1 Packet Kool Aid/Flavor Aid Orange
1 Packet Kool Aid/Flavor Aid Tangerine
3/4 Cup Orange Juice (No Pulp)
3/4 Cup Tangerine Juice/1 can mashed Mandarin Oranges
1/3 scoop Countrytime Lemonade (Reg or Pink)
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
Green and blue food coloring for color.

Bliss awaits.

Hi
I am also on disability, I got it a couple of years ago. For me it was ok, not exactly how I wanted to end up, but at least I will always have enough to eat and money for a place to stay. The day I delivered in the papers, or the day I got the confirmation letter... that was days with a lot of feelings in all possible directions, all at the same time. I was only 36, and retired!?! But now Im safe, no matter how sick I get, I can provide for my self, I wont be homeless.

When one pressure, the economy, and all I had to do to make sure I had enough for me and the kid, was relieved, my condition gradually improved, Im not healthy, I will never get rid of it all, but now, a couple of years later, Im better.

I hope that you also will get better. Remember, the pension is your safety net, and it is difficult to get, so you deserve it. I dont know how the social climate in Canada is regarding disability, but remember that the ones who get the pension, have proved that they need it.

Knowing that a friend who had surgery is taken good care of and recuperating quite well.

Bringing my son and his mates to a scouts weekend camp and having the pleasure of hanging out with my 10 year old daughter for the two hour return trip. Made me feel quite stupid and out of touch, but, in a good way :)
