Just had an odd moment.

An hour ago I was talking to my OH who had injections for an allergy and was sleeping at home. She called and explained she is hungry, because the doctors told her to avoid protein. She went on to explain that she will eat pasta with tomato sauce. I thought, rather you than me...

... fast forward, I've been to the shop as the fridge is empty, cooked a meal, sat down and started to eat. bks I'm eating pasta with tomato sauce.

I can't remember the last time I ate this. I also consider myself "strong minded".

So, are we easily manipulated? With all the constant bombardment of information on social media, newspapers, radio and TV, are we really voting on issues and debating with a clear mind?

I'll leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL7hihcww1M

We aren't living together yet, this was all over a phone call and I went home to eat alone. I'm not really thinking in terms of kindness or consideration, more about "planting the seed of an idea", which then becomes my idea, without me realising.

Go to the N,P and E subforum for a sample of the manipulated sheeple.

Typically found in the Trump threads, crying because there EU feelings are being hurt.
