What A Ting

•A friend of mine had been having pains in her leg for a little while. When the pain became too much, she went to the walk-in clinic. The woman who saw her put my friends symptoms into a computer, turned to her and said 'it's not good news I'm afraid....we're gonna have to call 999 (enmergency services). You should leave your car here. So my poor friend is worrying her ass off. The lady looks at the leg and says 'it can't be anything other than sickle cell' yes, my people you read that right SICKLE CELL!! Please note how this was diagnosed: by looking at the leg, and tapping into a self-diagnosis site ting. My poor friend, not realising that you can't suddenly catch sickle cell was in a state, managed to drive home, and got blood tests today. She's fine-the pain has gone...but my girl is 25 years old...IF she had sickle cell, how the heck would it go undetected for alllllll these damn years. I can assume that this doctor woman assumed my friend was having a crisis-anyone who has, or knows someone who has sickle cell knows that when they have a crisis, they can't be sent on their way to drive home etc..bunch of bullshit. We're encouraging her to make a complaint-cos that right there is MESSED UP!!

•Went to my Mum's house today, and my bro came down. We're jamming on the chair and he says to me 'you remember that girl I told you might be pregnant for me?' I'm like 'no-who the heck is that?' Right now it sounds remotely familiar (but let's be real, my bro's a hoe, and there were a number of girls who claimed to be carrying the bro's seed). So anyways he's looking in his phone, I'm wondering what he's looking for. He shows me a picture of this cute little baby. He says this baby is the 'might be' son. I'm like 'seen, so what now?' He said he took a DNA test last week and is waiting for the results. Bubby is cute-but he doesn't look like me bro...like his boy, my brother could NEVER deny him...but then again,this bubby could look like his mum. So just have to wait for the results. His girl knows....but hey, that girl has taken some serious shit from my brother-i would NOT deal with half as much as she has..but hey-that's not my business!

•Whilst out tonight with a few of my girlies, one of em tells a story about a dude she knows. He was out at the very bar that we were at, and had 2 cocktails. As he heads home, he gets pulled by the feds. He gets breathalised, and is found to be 5 times over the legal limit. His punishment: a fine, a 2 year driving ban, community service AND a tag on his ankle. Now, I do appreciate he was over the limit (unknowingly) and drink driving is serious, and a big no-no in my book BUT considering there's all these dickheads on the road being caught with knifes and guns BUT only get a caution, this dudes punishment was harsh in comparison.....but shit gets worse for dude....as a result of his driving ban, he loses his job. He's moved back home after the flat he was renting got major damp, fucking up ALLL his clothes that the landlord refused to pay for....AND his girlfriend left him....poor sod!

There was one more crazy story, but my memory has failed me...so that's it for now........and how proud are we of me for posting so many posts in one week??!!! Huh? That's good right! Yay me! Lol!! I'm so tired, I'm going to bed!

Night!!
