happy new year to you. Hope things are going better for you.
I just re-watched the Christmas special and did it seem to you that the TARDIS was rejecting the new doctor? It did throw it's door open and dump her out. Seemingly on purpose. I mean, it did hang there on it's side with the door open and shake until she fell out. Any thoughts?

I literally only watched the regeneration scene, so if there was supposed to be a reason as far as actual storyline goes I'd have no idea.
I really, really can't deal with Stephan Moffat's writing, it makes me shout at the TV and want to break things. Not just with Doctor Who, everything he does manages to rub me exactly the wrong way lol I'll watch the episode eventually, I'll get around to all of it eventually. Just...not right now lol I'm in enough pain already.
As far writing the series goes, it's a really easy and convenient way to let the Doctor develop her character and let everybody get used to her, separating the Doctor from the Tardis after a regeneration and letting her have a little confusion and possibly some memory loss, the audience needs to get to know the Doctor as a female a little more than they do as a male, and of course there has to be a bit of 'oh my center of balance is so low' and ' WHY ARE THESE POCKETS FAKE!!!' and whatnot- from a storytelling perspective it's a nice, easy transitional move.

sorry to hear you're still in pain. Since St. Johns Warts is out of the question maybe the old deer hunters remedy will work. ginger flavored bandy! it's good for the cold and what ails you.

lol Yeeeeah, I think I'm a little pasts folk remedies.
I'll be in pain the rest of my life, and nothing actually works very well to relieve it, absolutely nothing is what all but the strongest prescription painkillers do, and even strong stuff only works for about a week so there's no point taking them.
Some nurse one time was like "Oh, that's good, you won't get addicted to pain meds!"
Uh huh. You try being in excruciating pain 24/7 that you literally cannot get away from no matter what you do. For 14 years. See how much you appreciate meds not working.
Someday, I will actually lose it when somebody says something like that and smack the crap out of them.

Sorry to hear that. I was hoping a little humor might help brighten your day. I can understand and relate to pain. (I've been cooked in the jungle, shot at blown up and hit with a hatchet. All were short term things but they can take control just the same for a while,) And yes, it can and will dominate your life. But isn't it great when the pain killers do work and the pain goes away for a while.
They are getting better at pain management. maybe you should see a different doctor and get a second opinion on how to go about it. It couldn't hurt (worse). But for now, I would advise you to get your skinny butt inside out of the cold and catch up on Doctor Who. (that skinny butt comment was purely a figure of speech. I'm sure your butt is just fine. don't know don't care.)

lol no, my butt is skinny and bony. I can almost fall in a toilet if I sit at the wrong angle lol
I would love to go to a doctor. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen because fuckface up there in his fucking golden throne is a fucking fuck. Sorry. Just need to get that out. FUCK YOU, DONNIE! Ok, I'm done.
We can't afford insurance right now, and even if we could the only company that covers here sucks so bad you're actually better off not having insurance at all. The only doctors they have are hours away from us, and they will fight every single charge, they approve everything before hand then un-approve it before the billing goes through. Several doctors around here had to sue them for really stupid stuff. And they don't cover any sort of pain management center, and certainly wouldn't cover the procedures which would be the next step.
Narcotics don't work on me, I get maybe a week of relief if I up the dose each time I take it, until it starts hitting dangerous levels but by then it doesn't work at all so it's pointless. I am incredibly resistant to narcotics. So the only time I can take them is when i have an acute condition, all it does if I take them long-term is ah...well they have some rather unpleasant effects on your digestive tract. And I'm incredibly sensitive to APAP now (ah..that's acetaminophen/paracetemol) which is in all the narcotics, it actually makes my kidneys start to hurt when I take it...and try explaining to a doctor that you need narcotics with out freaking apap in it, that will land you on the druggie list.
I've had steroid injections, and had some of the nerves burned...the former seemed to work a little, but the latter made the problem worse. And that clinic was pretty much like 'yeah, that's all we can do for you, bye'.
Even if I wanted to go somewhere, like I said, no insurance, and there's no way I could pay out of pocket for something like that.
I've been on the waiting list for a disability hearing for...almost 2 years now. I couldn't file until I had attempted treatment, which meant I had to wait until we managed to get insurance that covered pain treatment and deal with that for a year to show it won't go away.

I'm confused again, I thought you had moved to and then away from Atlanta and then somewhere in the east, or was that someone else? Not important.
At least, you got to vent.
and that's enough of the language young lady. "I'm paraphrasing the doctor there. you'll see when you watch the Christmas special.
Try contacting the patient rep at the Mayo clinic. It's a long way to go but they have medical flights some times.

I live kind of near Atlanta, we moved to a new house around 6-8 months ago but just the one move.
Oh, good lord, they have financial assistance but they don't treat people for free. They'd have to do transport, treatment, testing, and meds- for the rest of my life- for absolutely free. They don't do that. Certainly not unless you are a kid with a third-world sob-story who catches the eye of some news outlet.
And that's not even taking into account that...I am not flying anywhere. I can't deal with airports, that is waaay to long I have to be somewhere, upright, and dealing with people and stress. I can't do that. It is not physically possible.
But I look fine on paper with all the standard tests, which means it's practically impossible to even convince medical people there is something wrong with me.
Yeah, yeah, everybody always thinks/says there's some way to get to see a doctor and get medical help if you just look hard enough. There is a big wall called MONEY and once you are on the wrong side of that, you're screwed. It doesn't matter if a doctor is willing to treat you for free (and those places are very, very rare and super crowded, and usually offer sub-standard care) if you can't get there- whether 'there' is 10 miles or 1000.
My options right now are...nothing. I have to wait until I manage to get a disability hearing and can talk to a judge, or until we get universal health care. Or something crazy happens and I start making a really decent amount of money, which is unlikely to say the least.

Me: *gets nailed to a cross* Hey! Hey, Joey! I can see your house from here! Boy, is your wife UGLY! What? Whatcha gonna do, huh? Crucify me? OH, WAIT! Haha- thank you, thank you, you've been a great audience, remember to tip your waiter.
Oh god, that reminds me, we were at a one-act play competition and a school with just a stupid high budget decided to do friggin JC Superstar reduced to half an hour...and chose to end it WITH THE SCENE WHERE HE IS CRUCIFIED. Just, Christ on the cross, curtain down.

sounds like you're doing a little better.

lol Oh, sweetie, I am a blunt, nasty, snarky, disruptive and occasionally truely wicked person. My friends cheerfully refer to me as being evil and I won't ever argue with that.
It's just a matter of whether I have the energy to pretend otherwise

back in the day when I was a DM for my D&D group, a character like that would not have been allowed in the gang. if truly lawful evil you would have sold out the gang and created more trouble.
But it sounds like you could make an interesting villain in one of my books. just need a cool name and a evil plot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol 'I'm a Professional Bad Guy, what do you expect? We don't have rules against double crossing, in fact we encourage that sort of thing!"
Eh, Big Evil Plots are to much of a pain in the ass. Nah, I'm more of the Arching type, I don't wanna take over the world, I'd be perfectly happy having it be my job to screw with someone and make their life difficult. Nothing personal, you know, a little harassment, some light torture, then we can go grab lunch, maybe do some shopping...there's no reason being enemies has to be a completely unlpleasant experience.

another good job and a belated Merry Christmas to you and yours.
do you think the doctor remembers Clara?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, assuming it doesn't go away with a regeneration (which I guess would come down to how it's 'removed' and what exactly happens to the brain/consciousness during regeneration and if it would detect a problem and be able to reverse it somehow)...unless the device somehow managed to literally erase every reference to her that exists in the Tardis, or Clara went in and tore pages out of a bunch of diaries and purged herself from the Tardis (if that didn't happen when her memory was erased) aaaand made sure there was absolutely nothing the Doctor could possibly use to identify her in any way...it really would come down to what you define as 'remembers'- if you remember around someone, and then find their image and personality, that inserts itself into the blank place- you have a 'memory' but it's one that you've partially extrapolated yourself. By what you know, and what you can find out and figure out, you 'remember' in the way of having knowledge, but it's even more prone to error than normal memory.
This coming from someone with a bunch of head injuries and actual memory issues lol I have no idea how the writers would actually treat it. I mean, it seems like it's logical to me, but then again I don't think most people could really relate to just having big chunks missing and filled in only by abstract knowledge from other people, which after awhile just becomes the same sort of memory as any other, except I'm aware that I've forgotten it before and more wary of making changes, I'm more likely to repeatedly confirm those than something I know I actually remember for myself.
I mean, I have 'lost' people before. It's really...weird. Not just not remember them once, of where you met them or something, not remember them at all even though you were around them a lot.
Yeeeeah, I'm pretty sure I'll get early-onset Alzheimer Disease if I don't kick off from something else first. Die young and leave a pretty corpse, that's what I always say.

So, she's obviously there if (and that's a big if.) the writers choose to use her.
I prescribe some Saint Johns Warts with egg nog. It may not help but nothing bad ever happened while drinking egg nog.

Egg-nog, yes, St. Johns Wart...no. It makes me super, super sensitive to light, even indoors. Now, a couple shots of rum, on the other hand...

I like this one. And people seem to react to this particular outfit more than other ones.
That coat needs repairs- I have to fix the lining before I can wear it at all, and it should really be re-dyed at this point. Alexander Hamilton stole it from me and it was returned rather worse for wear.
Ok, ok, I like saying that because it sounds like I'm just being weird, but my kid wore it as part of an Alexander Hamilton costume for over a year, I just finally managed to get it back.
