I hate it when I pwn myself.

Have they taken Tamiflu yet?

I looked up the NHS policy on Tamiflu, and their website says that they offer it to anyone with a confirmed case of it, plus children under the age of 5 are considered an at-risk category, but I don't generally have much to do with my sister, and I don't know whether or not they've taken it.

Has their case been confirmed?

I really do hope they get better soon 

I think a doctor diagnosed it, but swine flu has displaced ordinary flu and now accounts for >90% of flu cases, so GP's in most cases are diagnosing it based on flu symptoms rather than taking swabs and having them analysed.

Oh no The mother in me wants to cook for you. I can't help it. My maternal side goes into hyperdrive in situations such as these. When do you think they'll get it sorted out? Do you have family that can help you out for the interim?

[Blasted]

Are there any soup kitchens close to you?  Or drop-in centres for the homeless?  Those usually give free meals, tea, biscuits etc.

[ZEGH8578]

haha they actually told me to go to a soup-kitchen once. they also told me to go rehab for smoking weed.

no, and no

im not hanging out w the junkies as long as i can avoid it

i mailed them today, but... im learning that they arent too eager to check their mail.
ill go by them tomorrow and see if i can sort it out.

the problem is THEIR lack of communication, one guy told me to write out an application for a semi-sort of disability payment, while another told me to hurry and re-apply for normal welfare, since it was nearing the end of the term.
my suspicion is that these two applications have clashed, and that theyve sortof annulled each others. and they love not telling about these kind of things.

whats especially fucked up is that the welfare application i delivered, they promised would be treated as a priority case, that is, solved in a day or two. its been a week...

A soup kitchen is not for junkies!  I volunteered in one for a bit and all sorts of people turn up.  Those drop-in centres are awesome though, you should give them a go.  Some of them tend to be Catholic.  When my mum threw me out of the house, I went to one and the people there are really helpful

My dad just called. My Mum's kidney fuction just dropped another 3% in the past 48 hours. Ugh. I know she's expected to get worse before she gets better, but this really plays on my anxiety.

im in trondheim, norway, we have
One soup kitchen

trust me. its full of alkies and junkies.

we are a welfare nation, so everyone poor gets welfare. theoretically.
gvt will sometimes even find a flat FOR you if you repeatedly fail to find one, despite you supposedly having to find it yourself, and then deliver the bills to welfare offices.
i have a VERY handy automatic-payment deal, they pay my bills. again. in theory
the ones _still_ on the street are those who insist on spending all their welfare money on junk.

its just a different scenario :/

I don't mean a soup kitchen though, cause fair enough, your particular one may be lousy.  I meant a drop-in centre, where you can get light meals, snacks and hot drinks.  Also they let you sit around, read books, do activities, get laundry done etc.  Isn't there anything like that in Norway?

nope
norway has forgotten its past experiences w poverty, since the oil in the 60's and the change to a welfare state poverty more or less doesnt exist, cus all poor recieve welfare and are technically no longer poor.
it just sucks when welfare for whatever reason stops, and your back to being dirt-poor

the only place "lower" than welfare to turn to is a downtown church used as a soup-kitchen. out of 150 000 inhabitants, we only have a small handfull of people who are SO poor that they need a soup-kitchen.
its okay tho, i was just venting
ill go by welfare tomorrow, and tell them i am *this* close to start selling drugs
(which would be catastrophic, cus nobody knows me, and i'd basically end up buying shitloads of drugs )
