When we experience emotional turmoil it comes out in all sorts of ways, Itchy.
We're more likely to cry at a soppy movie if we've just split up with our partner. The movie hasn't become sadder, we're more vulnerable to sad things.
Paul was experiencing anger and frustration as woman in a man's body. That anger and frustration came out when his work was criticised.
As Paula, she no longer felt the anger and frustration she did, so didn't lose her temper over work issues.
PS. If you are, keep doing it, you've expanded my knowledge and understanding enormously.
PPS. I like your C&P style because you provide easily accessible information, but also qualify it with your own opinion. People soon complain if you don't provide your sources.
PPPS. I now regularly look to Stephen Colbert, and Trevor Noah in particular, for bite-sized little nuggets of astute insight.
More than that, he's not afraid to challenge anyone, including the leader of the political party he belongs to.
It's authenticity without bias and criticism proportional to infractions against his personal ideology. Plainly, he thinks Jeremy Corbyn is capable of more and has expressed his frustration. With Trump, he expressed his disgust.
Thankyou String, but it wasn't that one where Trump expressed his opinion about the function of name calling within the context of the political arena.
You can't tell this man he's too old to do something.
For one thing, he's not too old, he's too unwell with a degenerative condition.
If he has moments of lucidity and understands that, he will also have moments of non-lucidity where he doesn't. Eventually, he will have no lucidity.
It's a chaotic lifestyle living with dementia. Everytime I found a dear friend wandering around the village on her own she was less confident about who I was and where she was. She became more and more anxious about me walking her home. I got the impression she was frightened I was going to rob her, or harm her.
Her daughter moved back in to care for her. The last few times I saw them out and about, my friend appeared petrified. I'm guessing nothing made any sense to her anymore.
If I were in those states, I would rather not be kept alive for the sake of it. I've already told my daughter to put a pillow over my head if necessary. She was a bit shocked which is good - she'll remember I said it.
Maybe a hefty morphine drip might assuage any concerns about suffering during the process.
I'd certainly rather finances were channelled into those who have prospects of a reasonable quality of life.
Two thirds of the world are starving and are very much conscious of it, but we don't have an emotional attachment to them.

RE: I want Louie back
Yeah, looking at that video, he can't really claim he didn't know at the time he was taking advantage of his position.
