He is using apes as an example here........not the same thing as a chicken or a cow, just not. Of course animals react to environment, of course they will develop habits as a coping mechanism when their fight or flight is denied them. Different animals have adapted in different ways. Look, if this is your belief system,…

This is what I have an issue with, not all the studies, not the difficulty with absolutes, causation and correlation. I take issue with blind statements that erroneously attach human emotions and feelings onto a chicken or a cow! Do not mistake me, I believe strongly that we have an obligation to treat animals with…

With a gun in his hands???? Not a good idea..........

Personally I might have taken a pic with the camera phone and sent to their Momma and my attorney.

Wow! I agree, dont shoot! I would contact an attorney.

Bump for CHEESECAKE! YUM!!

Sodium has been my enemy personally............before I started MFP I lost 12lbs doing nothing but making my food choices based on 3 criteria. meals under 500 cals snacks under 200 cals low sodium choices. I found that when I started reading labels the bad, high fat foods where always high in sodium as well. I would…

Deviled Eggs Fruit Loops (never buy those evil things anymore) Hominy & Cheese Sauce Cheese.......I have to work really hard to manage this one.

I gave up .... making excuses.......everything else is on my menu within my calorie goal.......

OMG are you freaking kidding me? No court of law in the south would have convicted you, this person qualifies for the "because he needed killin'" defense!!

Actually I have 5 nephews and am quite close to them and my sisters, I would tell you just to apologize for walking in on him, tell him you are sorry to have embarrassed him and that while he may be embarrassed you do not think poorly of him or feel it was wrong. Let it go, by apologizing you give him his pride back a…

Wow Darrell!!! Awesome post!!! I'm going to go see if my dragon is around here somewhere myself.......

Also Pickled........I make Dilly Beans.........AWESOME!!! LOL, they are great in Bloody Mary's as well as low cal snacks.

I have heard that lack of hydration can bring on migraines, you might ask your doctor about that. Certainly wouldnt hurt to up your water intake if your a little low.

I live in Washington State and there are a lot of GMO labeled products on the shelves in the stores. Muir Glen tomatoes spring to mind off the top of my head. With some organic produce there is a huge price disparity, some is very close in price comparison. I also prefer to buy local and love the local markets over the…

I do agree that the meat industry in the US is terrible. Because of this I buy most of my meat from a local shop that only carries local grass fed beef and free range chickens. Organic is becoming much bigger here. Even some of the local grocery stores are getting in on the action and carrying a larger selection of organic…

I think almost every one of us on here has had that "wake up" call. I so get it, for me it was looking at a picture of myself and thinking, who is that fat old lady? OMG that's ME??? That just wont do.. So after the denial, the excuses and the crying........I got moving...I'm really just starting so I havent come that far…

Interesting, so you think that vegetarianism makes you into a person less likely to smoke, be overweight, etc etc........hmmm Interesting bias. These are your assumptions, assumptions have no place in a study which is why you must throw out other factors that could contribute to poor health. By the way, my father is 78,…

Some dogs no matter what conventional tools are used just like to pull. period. I had a friend who was a trainer and also had a puller, what she did was use a very long leash, she attached to a flat collar, brought it around the dogs hind quarters and back to the front to loop it around itself once. When the dog pulls, the…

I've always called that a martingale

LOL, everything is obvious in hindsight! LOL glad I could help!

It bothered me when I first moved to the south, after 10 years, you only notice if someone DOESNT use it.

Possible solution to Kitty poo......I used to have this issue too. So I put a kitty door in a closet and put the litter box in that closet. The kitty door was too little to let my dog in, the cats could do their business in peace, and I no longer had to battle the kitty roca problems..... Edited for spelling

for your sake I hope it isnt a false alarm because if it is you will be wishing you had died! LOL

"I told you I was sick"

Excellent point.........it's been a long time since I was in the dating game.......

I'd actually give this one a pass.......since his suggestion would have been a lot less expensive than a movie.....maybe he really wanted to go out but is "between" pay checks?

Beautiful dogs, congratulations. Curious, did you use the "trade game" to break her of her bad habit of not releasing?

Actually, they were bred to hold livestock and are more likely to show aggression to other animals than humans. This is actually what makes them the ideal pit fighting dog because people are less likely to be attacked by these dogs. Seriously, the pit has gotten a bad rap, and because of it the most undesirable of owners…

piercings ears.........fine piercing nose........maybe but we discuss boundaries belly button............fine, but at least 16 tattoos.....NO body stretching things.........are you kidding me? NO NO NO!!! There is more to this than self expression, if your child decides he wants to become a lawyer and he has these giant…
