 Humans are also the only ones who cook their meat.  Should we not do that either?

As for the six drops of pus...yeah, I would check your sources on that one. 

As for the cows, if you're really concerned, buy organic milk.

 my source was PETA... i didnt just pull it out of my bum.... and im pretty sure the OP asked for opinions, and i gave mine. So...*choice words* ... im sorry someone pee'd in your corn flakes this morning.

Just a thought.... please dont flame me for my opinions.... I always felt that Drinking Milk was Disgusting for the fact that
a) humans are the ONLY mammals that drink milk after infancy
b) there are about six drops of puss in every glass of milk
c) the cows are treated HORRIBLY...

but thats just one opinion. im sure there are alot of other ways to get the health benefiets from milk. I prefer Soy Milk.

Holidays are teh worst for me.  Its easy when were with my family, cause they are very health conscious as my mom has a bacterial lung infection that can not be treated, adn by dad has high cholesterol.

My mother-in-law on the other hand makes hes husband two packs of bacon every morning for breakfast, and saves all teh fat in order to cook everything else that she makes in it.  Basically everything ends up tasting like bad pork.  Not a lot of fun for somebody who generally doesn't eat pork in the first place, n/m the sheer amount of fat.  GROSS!

 you poor thing!!!!! my boyfriends family is from newfoundland so i know how you feel, everything is salted and fried with extra lard as seasoning...

This is my first holidays with my new lifestyle and i want to enjoy everything that i usually eat on christmas, but im hoping to only nibble at it, and then eat the healthy things instead of the bad things as my main food. Its always good to have a plan and stick by your guns!

I used to have the same problem, i agree with nbkelly, i started drinking shakes in the morning with some protein powder, soy milk and fruits ( i like frozen fruits better then fresh fruits in my shake) i look forward to my shake now, and i alternate different breakfast throughout the week now. eat smaller and more frequently and you wont feel so sick hopefully :)

I work at a vet clinic as a Animal care Attendant/ Receptionist and learning to become a Vet Tech. I love it so much! it took a long time to get here (went to school for hairstyling and esthetics and finished at the top of my class, just to find out i hate people!) Helping animals every day gives me the sense that i am REALLY making a difference, especailly if i can convince an owner to do somthing good for thier pet. or when the owner has to make that last hard decision, im always there crying with them, afterwards they write me cards letting me know that it felt so good that they werent alone, and that makes me feel needed and usefull..... i wouldnt change my job for the world. animals are the best things in the whole universe.

I let Everyone know because i work at a vet clinic with an ALL WOMAN STAFF and lets just say there is alot of chocolate to go around, i figured it was safer to let them know so they can add their two cents if im about to cave. they also like the fruit i bring in as treats as a change from the sweets.

mmm..... our gyms have tv's in the treadmills so i never miss a beat ;)

There is a product called "bitter spray" you can get it at your vet clinic, (providing they carry it haha) and its basically just awful tasting and he wont ever want to taste it ever.

Coincidence?

 No - a logical consequence of people drinking too much booze. 

And the pendulum thing was a 50/50 shot anyway - that's better odds than most things you encounter everyday, so there's really no special significance to it.  When me and hubby were first starting to talk about starting our family, a friend did the pendulum thing on me, and according to that method, we were to have two girls.  Same thing happened with another method based on my food cravings.  We wound up with two boys - go figure. 

you dont have to be quite so negative about it. I dont beleive in them but its no need to bash it, if you dont like it, dont comment. I do respect your opinions but there is no need to post more then once disclaiming them. They got the point.

Im actually friends with most of my ex's. One of my Ex's is my BEST friend, he and my current boyfriend get along great and talk all the time. sometimes you just know that you are not meant to be together. after we broke up we didnt talk for months, but after the hurt was gone we missed being in each other lives but didnt want to be in a relationship. So yes i think it is possible, Once you reach a mutual understand where the boundaries are, and if you can TRULY be happy for thier success and their future relationships.

Hi there, i understand exaclty where you are coming from, except for the fact that once i was put in the hospital from reaching my all time low, they were quick to throw me on the drug band wagon. Once i got out, the first thing i did was go to my family dr. and talk about options, we decided that the best thing for me was to get off the pills, and just have coping stratagies, and use natural mood elevators. The best things to make you feel better are, Good Diet, Good Sleep, and Keeping active. When i start feeling like i am going to have a mood drop or anxiety, i stop what im doing, and do something that i enjoy, or take my mind off of it, i play a sudoku puzzle, play a video game, play with my pets, anything that dosnt give me time to think. Just make sure that you are doing what is best for you. And that you always have someone to talk to.

Good luck, and remember you are not alone. there are millions of people going through what you are, even though you may feel isolated and alone. so reach out

*cough* (slips on the glasses and turns on the mp3 player)

I dont Feel like Dancing - The scissor sisters.

Dont Judge me!!!!!!  just listen to it, and you will see why. you just start bopping and cant stop!!!! WOOO!!!!! (bops around town)

in canada, the buisness actually has the option of having it or not, i filed an accident report, but no workmans comp unfortunately.... soooo came out of my pocket.... it was my fault anyway, i wasnt paying attention and i put my arm in front of a cat that we were doing a blood transfusion on so it was a little grumpy to begin with..... *sigh* this too will come to pass... so im not to worried anymore.

Yah I was hoping to avoid going to the doctor.... im not completley dense, lol.... yahh looks like im going to the doctor today then. But yes i have a really great employer and she did take the time to ask me if i was ok and explained how to clean it properlly but it dosnt seem to help so.... looks like im off to the doctors... thanks for your opinions guys.

I really beleive that no two scales are alike. I work at a vet clinic and we weigh every patient, we have a really great scale, and it is consitent, and clients always ask why the weight on our scale is different then when they weigh their animal at home, so i think if you are going to be looking at a scale, you use the same scale consistenly to make sure that you are getting consistent results.
