I'm stealing globohomo, Once I work out how to use it in context...
What it boils down to- anything that can cause change, can also cause harm. Smarter minds than mine weigh up the pro's and con's of both the change and the harm, and go from there.
What about the story of thalidomide? the antidepressant for pregnant women that made them have babies with no arms... Its now completely banned in Australia for many years, but now they've discovered its effective for MS or something like that. But they cant do anything with it because its completely banned.
But I would say if you had a large family because you expect a few to die from preventable diseases, it would still make sense to vaccinate them all so they dont make each other sick.
As for the ingredients, there are plenty of things you'd be horrified to see what goes into. Sausages, meat pies, tomato sauce, salamis and processed meat, powdered milk, margarine, and the list goes on...
Well, effectively you're accepting anything anybody says as gospel. I could do up a graph, that perfectly correlates the decline of piracy with global warming, or ice cream consumption and drowning. Thats an example of poor survey design, attributing causality where there is none. It wouldnt fly in the science world, but I bet I could word it so it got through on that site...
Some things, you dont want to give too much notice about. Big influx of immigrants for 18 months, then huge influx for 6 months, then rioting and looting...
Its a time of fear and instability, voters are reticent to take chances with unknown quantities in such times. It should speed up the Brexit process significantly, and impact land values anywhere near Calais.
Yes. The shiny brown stuff on the outside is called chocolate. The biscuit is dark brown due to the addition of chocolate, and the lighter brown soft stuff in the middle tastes a lot like chocolate.
However, the opaque white tray they come packaged on cannot be digested because its made of plastic, as is the outer crinkly colourful protective layer. These should not be eaten or fed to livestock, but be thoughtfully disposed of after the biscuits are consumed.
Nah, its a rejection of the brand of politics exemplified by the National Front. It might seem strange to an American, but I dont think any French people were looking for Trumps name on the ballot paper, or felt relieved it wasn't there.
I can buy locally made Daintree Chocolate, for a very high price. And I dont know about fair trade, last thing I want is unvaccinated stoned idiots, who never wash their hands or their disgusting filthy insect-ridden greasy dreadlocks, preparing my food. Call me old fashioned.
Maybe me and Mimi should be getting commissions for talking up tim tams...
However, the downsides of chocolate include- forced child labour, environmental degradation, corruption in third world countries, and in Australia imported chocolate is permitted to contain something ridiculous like 15% insects...
Yeah, Japanese tourists have been known to buy the whole lot on the shelf, to take back home. I had some mango flavoured ones the other week, pfft. Dark is fine, double dipped is too but you get less biscuits in a pack, I like the caramel but nobody else seems to, never bothered with strawberry, white's alrightish, ... but the original is what I always go back to.
Its best to clamp right down before the problem gets too out of control. The minute she starts whingeing about the toilet seat, raise your hand and say STOP! you're confusing me with all these complicated requests. The next morning, leave a poo in the shower or bathtub. If she says anything about it, simply remind her you couldnt remember the exact request and didnt want to interfere with the toilet seat management plan.
I think chilli flavoured chocky must have suddenly become unfashionable, I've been buying it reduced to 1 dollar, normally it would be about 4 or 5.
Personally, I like to make some cocoa up, get a packet of tim-tams and have a good session. I nibble each end off, then suck the cocoa through it. There's a knack to it, if you dont get it right, the biscuit goes soggy and the chocolate melts and the whole show collapses into your cocoa and becomes sludge.
You get it just right, by feeling the weight increase and the chocolate warm up, then kind of flick it up and snap at it like a dog. If the cocoa is too hot it burns fark out of your tongue and you splutter the whole thing across the room with tears streaming down your face, so thats something to be careful of.
Its a very worthy sentiment, and a nice story. Its origin I suspect is a chain email to raise awareness of an important issue. Not referencing its source diminishes it I feel, as most people will recognise a few details clearly identify it as a work of fiction and they'll dismiss it out of hand.

RE: What is a "successful" relationship?
When I saw my boss and her husband walking along the beach holding hands like a young couple in love, they've been married about 50 years.
