Just applied for Medicaid. Thanks again for the link, Night. Waiting to hear back from them once they review my info. Man, that was a lot of jumping through hoops.

Well, we had a nice little outing. Started off with just a local wander around. Went into a pub down the road for one beer, but abandoned after that because the people there were very noisily arguing about politics. It was making Dada nervous because their tempers were fraying a bit.

So, back outside and walked across the road. A tram came along so we jumped on and just on an impulse, rode a few stops to the nearest metro (subway) station, then took that into Prague's downtown. We surfaced at Wenceslas Square, then walked down to Old Town Square and wandered round all the little side streets.

When we were tired enough we took another back, then a tram for the last couple of km to get home. Stopped in at the local Kebab place, because they do great salads and obviously kebab.

She's just given me a kiss and is heading off to bed. She said, "Thank you for the day. It really helped me."

It's just so wonderful to even hear her say that, because it means there is a window of conscious awareness that has been largely absent for so long. We've gone on lots of walks and little trips, but this is the first time in quite a while she's been so introspective and remarked on how it helped her. So, it's really encouraging.

That sounds like the best day ever. I am so happy she had the moment with you and kissed you before bed. You gave me a wet eye. How nice of you to share! Thank you!

I used to love going to big concerts back in those days. It was a pretty wild time. Yes, Led Zep, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, The Who (never saw them live, but Oh I wish!) plus people like Cat Stevens back before he left the music scene for a while. He was awesome to see live. Incredible talent and he just had this glow about him. You could practically see his aura when he performed.

Right now I'm listening to Yes. Just heard the Close to the Edge Album and now about to do Fragile. That was the first album my parents ever bought me. They liked "Yes". The first album I ever bought was Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield. Astoundingly talented musician, that guy.

Years later, quite independently, it turns out my daughter is a huge Mike Oldfield fan. When he did the re-release of Tubular Bells some years back, she emailed me and asked if I could buy her the CD in Prague and post it over because it hadn't been released in Australia yet! Naturally I did. It was blown away and so rapt for her.

Hi Syx!

Yes, I am hopeful that keeping the dyes out of her hair may help. Put it this way, it has to better not to put toxic chemical mixtures on your head and leave them there for several minutes. Especially every few weeks for years and years.

One of the things that bothers me most is that while you can find the ingredients on the pack, that doesn't give any clue as what the two main components create when they are mixed. Because most of these hair dyes are a two-pack mixture, just like epoxy resin is. Heaven only knows what new compounds are in the mixed product!

I have loved that pic since the first time I saw you post it. Must have been a few Sheds back, but yeah... That bird is glorious.

a reply to: visitedbythem
Brilliant! Thank you for posting that! It's exactly the sort of thing we need! And I've checked and there's a local site here I can buy it from. About ten bucks (equivalent) a bottle but it's high quality and not toxic! WOOT!

There's light at the end of the tunnel again. For the first time in a long while, I really can see some light. Some real hope. And it all started with something in an email from a friend, who is also here on ATS.

a reply to: JustMike

That is great news! I have to say most of the people on ATS are amazing. I really can tell you I feel closer to my ATS friends vs my friends here. I really don't know much about them.
