He is amazing. Friendly kind caring. Young handsome. Has a small pic of his wife and kids and a massive pic of his beloved dog in his office. Copes with my fear of docs and ranting about doctors past and present and the state of our once magnificent healthcare. He fought tooth and nail against useless docs at hospital to get me the treatment I needed and then the meds that kept me going that I was refused by the 'scum' (is the only word I can think of) running our crumbling NHS. These docs are out there. I promise. <br /><br />It is Pogue Mahone missed the e off and it is kiss my arse in case you need it in the future. There is an Irish pub in Liverpool with that very name. I wish I could take you there.

It is a rare thing. I found one It took me over 60 years. I dread the day he leaves! I hope to be dead before then. He doesn't look old enough to have left school. Some of the receptionists are awful but he is worth it. I adore him and I tell him so and he tells me I am unique. Try the doc particularly as you have a recommendation from someone who has actually seen him.

In my 62 years I found one...a woman. She actually listened ! I hadn't had her long when she moved her practice about an hour away. There was no way I could go that far with my agoraphobia. So I pretty much quit going to doctors, except when I had to get my anti-anxiety pills. He was a smart ass jerk who didn't listen to a word I said....but he filled my scrip.<br /><br />Since this doctor was recommended by a friend, maybe you should give him a try. Just ignore the idiotic receptionist as much as possible ! I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds by giving you advice...I mean, you don't even know me. But I feel your pain in trying to find the right doctor...especially when it comes to dealing with anxiety issues. <br />Glad you got your washer fixed !Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044809479022489978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-3902312404210398522016-10-12T20:24:09.998-04:002016-10-12T20:24:09.998-04:00I vote for the "I am not your sweetheart"...I vote for the "I am not your sweetheart" pin.big mamabirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758974733590946010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-60427809213815558172016-10-12T19:59:13.694-04:002016-10-12T19:59:13.694-04:00It's a pet peeve of mine, Elizabeth - I can...It's a pet peeve of mine, Elizabeth - I can't read books and articles that refer to 'Mum' and 'baby'.

Dia duit, or 'God on you' in short. Which is equally extreme, but bothers me less, for some reason. The response is Dia 's Muire dhuit, which means the blessings of God *and* Mary on you. Mhhm. Maybe once it was Pagan before it wass Catholic, I do not know. <br /><br />I am thinking that Mr Moon is very wise - he knows his time is worth €300 and so he was right to get someone else to fix the machine. Same way he knows you should go away for the weekend with that precious time.
