    Sorry if I'm abrasive. My doctor stopped my meds for sleeping and anxeity. Told me to buy them over the counter. So I'm just getting my strength back now I've got my meds again.

    That's cool, it seems that you're going through a lot. Maybe have a drink or two and try as best as you can to relax with some nice music.

    I don't drink. Once or twice a year only if I slip.

    The same doctor wouldn't let me register with my passport and a letter from the government with this skin condition

    I had to go to A&E to get antibiotics in the end.

    To answer your question, I'd say "Yes" and I'll tell you why: Secret societies are self eliminating. They are a product of a bygone era and are slowly fading from the landscape of our communities. From the 18th to the 20th century before the internet, and our increasingly cosmopolitan world the only places people had to gather together were the church or the local lodge hall. All that has changed. Memberships in the Elks, Moose, Masonic, Odd Fellows, and Knights of Columbus are mostly elderly folks, and younger people can find little value in them. Leave the secret societies alone, in time they'll go away all by themselves.🙂

    I have severe anxiety. Have been signed off sick for years now. Yet to get a decent anti-anxiety pill or any counseling. So just keeping my claws in at the moment. Thank you for asking.

    edit. I think I had a bout of pneumonia recently was ill for about 3months. So there's
    probably some damage that needs to be addressed.

    Yes. I exercise daily. I'm in great physical shape. That's what's kept me going.

    I mention all this now as our PM has made a pledge to tackle human rights abuse and the corrupt elite. And I believe her.

    A cold compress would probably be better.

    Our PM over here in the states has no interest in either of these, only in promoting himself a divine creature who knows everything, and kissing Putin's tushy. I wish we had your PM. 😞
