A women cast asunder by competing interests. Wiggling and worming her way through life, bending and molding herself to fit the preconceived notion of what we want her to be ?
Life is tantalizing, moving, compelling, we empathize with the women, her constant girations as she attempts to simply get by and get through.
Why oh why on your personal blog can't your give us some PERSONAL information. We find these sites everywhere. This is not interesting or new. Give us something that means something to you.
oops posted that twice, dam my computer and its slowness, I thought it wasnt working and hit post again just to see that it worked and did it again, ARG! oh well so yea how was your day?...
Meh...its fun for a few seconds but stick with links to animals wearing cute hats or clothes or something like that. There is one more thing I would like to address. Sarah, I am one of the annoying off-topic posters. I try to give each blog topic a 24 hour grace period before I start posting off-topic. All other off-topic posters should show the same respect! So with that I'll be back in a few hours sweetie! Keep ya head up!
This is the the sickest, oddest, most interesting, and most hilarious thing I've seen all week. I laughed like crazy when I first saw it... then I had to turn it off because it creeped me out. ::laughs::
So I've learned a lot about how people act when you start up a blog. For example, if they don't like something you said, or they just don't like you, they'll post it in the comments section. And that's ok, because blogs aren't all about rosy flowers and praise and happy times. It's a forum for discussion... and as a new member of the on-air world, my skin thickens with each passing day.
But then you get the weird anonymous posts that are either 1) lewd, 2) mean, or 3) misleading.
1) Lewd is lame, and it's either underage boys, green-eyed monsters, or just lonely adults looking for some online fire. The third scenario is clearly the worst. Might I suggest a nice run on the beach?
2) Mean is just, well, mean. Who wants mean people around? I don't. And I know you don't.
3) But what really gets me is the dude that posts in the comments section as ME, and says things I would never say, just to upset my readers. What a bummer. There's really nothing I can do, because I said at the beginning of this little blog project that I wouldn't resort to turning off comments. I really like your comments, and I read them religiously. But what I can do is refrain from posting in the comments section at all. That way, if there's something posted by me, you can rest assured it wasn't me. I'll try to stay on top of taking out the other crap too. You guys don't deserve to read that shit when you come to my house. :)
I wonder if the person who made this thing has some kind of unresolved anger towards that woman, or if that's just a random picture from a magazine or something...
Vegetarians who abstain from dairy products or animal flesh face the greatestnutritional risks because some nutrients naturally occur mainly or almostexclusively in animal foods.
Vegans, who eat no animal foods (and, rarely, vegetarians who eat no animalflesh but do eat eggs or dairy products), risk vitamin B12 deficiency, whichcan result in irreversible nerve deterioration. The need for vitamin B12increases during pregnancy, breast-feeding, and periods of growth, accordingto Johanna Dwyer, D.Sc., R.D., of Tufts University Medical School and the NewEngland Medical Center Hospital, Boston. Writing in 1988 in the AmericanJournal of Clinical Nutrition, Dwyer reviewed studies of the previous fiveyears and concluded that elderly people also should be especially cautiousabout adopting vegetarian diets because their bodies may absorb vitamin B12poorly.
Ovo-vegetarians, who eat eggs but no dairy foods or animal flesh, and vegansmay have inadequate vitamin D and calcium. Inadequate vitamin D may causerickets in children, while inadequate calcium can contribute to risk ofosteoporosis in later years. These vegetarians are susceptible to irondeficiency anemia because they are not only missing the more readily absorbediron from animal flesh, they are also likely to be eating many foods withconstituents that inhibit iron absorption--soy protein, bran, and fiber, forinstance. Vegans must guard against inadequate calorie intake, which duringpregnancy can lead to low birth weight, and against protein deficiency, whichin children can impair growth and in adultscan cause loss of hair and muscle mass and abnormal accumulation of fluid.
According to the Institute of Food Technologists and the American DieteticAssociation, if appropriately planned, vegan diets can provide adequatenutrition even for children. Some experts disagree.
Gretchen Hill, Ph.D., associate professor of food science and human nutritionat the University of Missouri, Columbia, believes it's unhealthy for childrento eat no red meat.
"My bet is those kids will have health problems when they reach 40, 50 or 60years of age," she says, "mostly because of imbalances with micronutrients[nutrients required only in small amounts], particularly iron, zinc andcopper." While meat is well-known as an important source of iron, Hill saysit may be even more valuable for copper and zinc. Copper not only helps buildthe body's immunity, it builds red blood cells and strengthens blood vessels."A lot of Americans are marginal in this micronutrient," she says, "and, as aresult, are more susceptible to diseases. Children can't meet their zincneeds without eating meat."
Also, vegetarian women of childbearing age have an increased chance ofmenstrual irregularities, Ann Pedersen and others reported last year in theAmerican Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Nine of the study's 34 vegetarians(who ate eggs or dairy foods) missed menstrual periods, but only 2 of the 41non-vegetarians did. The groups were indistinguishable when it came toheight, weight and age at the beginning of menstruation.

Women falling haplessly through the air...not cool.
Why am I reminded of Auschwitz when they were dumping the bodies? Blech!
