That is my nickname at CS.....What nicknames do you have for our fellow bloggers today????? Don't be shy....Label them and "nickname" them.....
I am a computer-Murderer!! I slay them right and left; perhaps i should sign up for some computer classes????
And my job might be in jeopardy.....they are raising our rates and maybe might want to move our sleek and beautiful salon into the new building outside of our "Spa" which is one of the top 100 spa's in America. The floors are Gold and this picture does not do it justice.....I am a Hair and Nail Artist.....So my boss might not take up a new contract...so I am hoping for the best. If not, it is as it is....
My Salon......
The sun is shining, the wind blowing through my hair....My giant red horse and I galloping through the tall summer grasses. A rhythm , a beat, a river of flowing movement. My heart soars with the wind.....The sun starts to set and the air gets cooler....time to go back.
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day
And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probly just ride away
I was in a temporary relationship which did not do well at the end, i will not speak poorly of him. But, when you are in a relationship that ends...Do you like to hate, dislike, badmouth, and criticise your ex....or do you refrain from badmouthing them?????? tell me your horror stories....
Congratulations!!!
To everyone who decided to take the Karma Challenge!
The Startling Effects of Going Vegetarian for Just One Day
If everyone went vegetarian just for one day, the U.S. would save:
100 billion gallons of water, enough to supply all the homes in New England for almost 4
months;
1.5 billion pounds of crops otherwise fed to livestock, enough to feed the state of New
Mexico for more than a year;
70 million gallons of gas -- enough to fuel all the cars of Canada and Mexico combined with
plenty to spare;
3 million acres of land, an area more than twice the size of Delaware;
33 tons of antibiotics.
If everyone went vegetarian just for one day, the U.S. would prevent:
Greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 1.2 million tons of CO2, as much as produced by all
of France;
3 million tons of soil erosion and $70 million in resulting economic damages;
4.5 million tons of animal excrement;
Almost 7 tons of ammonia emissions, a major air pollutant.
More statistics:
According to Environmental Defense, if every American skipped one meal of chicken per week
and substituted vegetarian foods instead, the carbon dioxide savings would be the same as
taking more than half a million cars off of U.S. roads. See how easy it is to make an impact?
Globally, we feed 756 million tons of grain to farmed animals. As Princeton bioethicist Peter
Singer notes in his new book, if we fed that grain to the 1.4 billion people who are living in abject
poverty, each of them would be provided more than half a ton of grain, or about 3 pounds of
grain/day -- that's twice the grain they would need to survive. And that doesn't even include the
225 million tons of soy that is produced every year, almost all of which is fed to farmed animals.
He writes, "The world is not running out of food. The problem is that we -- the relatively affluent --
have found a way to consume four or five times as much food as would be possible, if we were to
eat the crops we grow directly."
A recent United Nations report titled Livestock's Long Shadow concluded that the meat industry
causes almost 40% more greenhouse gas emissions than all the world's transportation systems --
that's all the cars, trucks, SUVs, planes and ships in the world combined. The report also concluded
that factory farming is one of the biggest contributors to the most serious environmental
problems at every level -- local and global.
Researchers at the University of Chicago concluded that switching from standard American diet
to a vegan diet is more effective in the fight against global warming than switching from a standard
American car to a hybrid!
In its report, the U.N. found that the meat industry causes local and global environmental problems
even beyond global warming. It said that the meat industry should be a main focus in every
discussion of land degradation, climate change and air pollution, water shortages and pollution,
and loss of biodiversity.
Did you know that by going vegetarian for only ONE day you could have a dramatic and positive
effect on our planet?
