I have a pretty good record with pants, it's the belts that let me down. It's that change over thing, where you only have one belt, but many pants.
Damian may scoff at the idea of wearing a skirt over pants, but when my pants puddled around my ankles in my favourite bar one night, at least no one knew that I was wearing rocket ship thunderpants...

Pants are so pants. They're the number one cause of me not being able to get out of bed. Well, as an association with the D, of course, the sense of impending doom because I have no idea where they are and cannot face looking for them.

Why can't we subscribe to the investigative journalist directly?
Let's bring back old fashioned patronage! We could all be the new Medicis or whatever the investigative equivalent is.

I'm intrigued.
I used to do CBT because I thought was paying me very well for a job straight out of uni, until it pretty much destroyed my wrists for a while - and they said it never happened and if I told anyone about it I'd never get hired ever again. (Potential employers: my wrists are fine now, thanks for asking!)
But that was, of course, Computer-Based Training.

Teaching you "to assess [your] thoughts more objectively" is pretty much exactly what CBT is.
Well, one form of CBT anyway. The kind that I've paid for, not the kind that I used to be paid for.

A head/desk simulator could work.
Also I'd like to drag'n drop away sections that I'd never read, like sports and racing and normally business, and swoosh them away with a satisfying flick.

Are you trying to say you wouldn't like a beautifully presented application in which to read Karl Du Fresne's and Deborah Hill Cone's musings? Come on..
Would set application contain an accelerometor with which to gauge how hard you punch it every time you read something by them? Cos if so, then count me in!

I have also got over my qualms about lycra
But what about our qualms about lyrca? Perhaps there's a way to get motorists to like cyclists better...

Also I should have said when I mentioned losing fingerprints that it is totally untrue and you do NOT lose your fingerprints
Dammit, there goes my idea for a TV pilot called CSI: CFS where they can hardly ever figure out who commited the crime, but when they do, it's really easy to catch the perps because they're in bed.

That's one in ten doctors who think you're making the whole thing up.
And that's just doctors - then there's the whole rest of the world. One of the non-political reasons (and there are many political ones too of course) that I loathe the MP John Hayes was that I'll always remember him telling someone close to me who had to leave their job because of their OOS was so crippling "Oh, OOS doesn't exist". Um, make coffees all day and carry heavy plates every day John, and then we'll talk.
(Sorry, I know OOS is different from CFS, is different from depression, etc. But I figured I'd mention it here because it's another one of those very hard to diagnose/fix/prove stupid things that my friends are overly inflicted with).
