NEWS & COMMENTARY Continued

I am wondering why girls & boys, yes there are obvious differences between the two,
were matched together to begin with.
*
 I think the boy did the right thing, & from now on boys should only compete against boys, and girls should only compete against girls.
*
 It is completely understandable why a nice boy would not to want to wrestle...a...girl.
 His parents should be proud of him.
*
Men in rough pro-sports should not be expected to compete & combat against women either,
I do not encourage women playing in the NFL, NHL, NBA, etc.

WATCH THIS VIDEO:
Brought tears to my eyes, Stephanie Flowers is inarguably correct in saying black gun crime is a top, national crisis in America & is intentionally being overlooked.
*
*
Yes ma'am, she (A private attorney born in Arkansas, with a law degree from Houston, Texas) is quite justified.
 Arkansas is a state that has suffered greatly from black, gun-related offenses & deaths.
This is a huge fire being ignored.
I completely understand her frustration,
 black gun violence is the largest cause of deadly crime in the United States & they hardly wish to address it for more than 10 minutes.
*
 I also absolutely agree with her opposing these "open carry" wackos.
Open carry is just ridiculous, completely unnecessary,
and I cannot believe it is legal.
*
 It is pretty ironic that people carry a gun to look tough,
but in reality carrying a gun
makes a person look like a huge,
yellow-coward,
basket case,
hillbilly
idiot:
(No offense lol, such as...bringing a loaded weapon around other people, & their children.)
*
 Laws created by morons being approved by morons,
a big, moronic country we do not want to be.
 Trigger-happy, gun-loving people, are the problem.
Governments, and regular citizens, both.
 Many Americans do not need a gun around them and they are doing just fine.
 We do not need guns, enough with the guns,
and enough with war/greed/megalomania.
  Look at these people...

I need to go shopping today for a special box, to keep my huge collection of false eyelashes in...
;)
*
 I actually do not wear false eyelashes
everywhere I go, like a lot of women do.
(It's true fellas, your date is actually not that glamorous in real life lol, thank the beauty stores.)
Bad jokes. :)-
 I wore false eyelashes sometimes when I was a belly dancer & it felt weird!
*
*
*
*
*
 I would guess the ones made from animal hair
(mink for example)
are not derived from humane sources,
please kindly do not buy them... :(
 
*
 I want to take my finger and smudge all of these perfectly aligned eyebrow hairs LOL LOL.
:)-
Would the girl freak out?
OH my God!
My eyebrow hairs are in...disarray!
 Quick, I must redraw the crisp eyebrow boundary,
my face is in, sheer, anarchy.
Don't touch me!
:)-
Bad jokesss!
Are they afraid some eyebrow hairs will rebel, & begin wandering away...is that why they take a pencil & sharply corral the hairs into a secure eyebrow hair enclosure?
You...stay...here.
 I am ok with some natural, plant based mascara, especially for women like me,
who have essentially no eyelashes!  :/
 False eyelashes are a little overkill to me.
 There are natural glues that can be obtained right from a tree, if you must...lol!
 I found this stuff from a tree in Florida that came out of the tree's fruit body, it was white and extremely sticky!
 I wouldn't put it anywhere near my eyes actually.

Unless I was born with no eyelashes at all,
or accidentally had them burned off,
why would I do this?

Done! Hoping to get my 1st pick!
 If not, I may hopefully get a no-show spot.
So xxxited ♡
 Whitney is more difficult to climb, due to the large number of people who want to hike it you have to enter a lottery, you choose several dates & then cross your fingers.
 There are also fees to enter the lottery & hike Whitney, Mount Elbert is totally free to hike.
 The only thing is, it is so far in advance, I have no idea what the weather is going to be like on those specific days.
I did choose warmer dates with the least amount of snow, but unsure about rain I have to look that up.
Heavy rain loosens dirt & causes rocks to slide.
•From what I just read July, August, & September in California should be more dry also.
It will be fine.
I cannot wait!

Good grief some doctor told my grandmother not to eat fruit, because it would exacerbate her acid reflux.
& she always believes these people.
I tried telling her "No, that is very wrong, fruits actually cure acid reflux."
I can't.

Today was traumatizing,
I drove by this "Black Plague" horse scene
located in a south Houston ghetto,
a dead, white horse laying out on the side shoulder of the road just a few feet from this emaciated/starving brown horse that was still alive.
 After driving by the dead white horse in complete horror I saw this brown horse, I thought it was dead also at first, until I saw it lift its head as I got closer,
my heart shreaked.
I am never again calling 911 for an animal case.
A lot of slow, mosty 300-350/ish pound, bossy people showed up, wouldn't allow me to give the horse any help, while they stood around carelessly & did literally, absolutely nothing for the horse.
Huge learning experience, part of me doesn't even want to know what they did to the horse.
They all kept insisting it would likely be euthanized.
I and they saw the horse lifting it's head, & kicking it's legs, every couple of minutes.
 It is lying in the center of a circle of mud, had been laying there, kicking itself around it appears.
I had to leave the scene because of course at the very same time my friend was suffering from food poisoning, & texting me repeatedly, 
begging me to quickly come over!
Then as I was leaving later from healing my friend, gave him whole lemons to eat, nearly 180° change & feeling super better within just a few minutes, walking outside I then had to break up a crazy fight between a young group of children!
 This girl beating up on this boy,
then she grabs a broom and begins chasing him, he's running across the yard in complete fear.
 I did not have to physically put my hands on any of the children,
 I stood in the street & talked to them.
The girl put her weapon down & went inside.
Any adults in that house?
I cried today!
This horse is haunting me!
I do want & also don't want to know what happened to it,
I am unsure what to do, do I call & find out, or not!
Breaking my heart & have to let it go.
Too much.
 Do you live in a bubble and ignore everything,
 or do you force yourself to witness all of the many tragedies in the world...
I have quite upsetting video footage of this,
& I have a feeling the area authorities were allowing this to happen.
 I know the authorities, the owner, and area residents did not want to harm the horses & were remorseful but this cannot be ignored, sick animals are not to be left on the side of the road
to slowly die in the rain.
 If I ever come across something like this again I am not calling 911, I will go straight to the owner and immediately begin helping the animal.
New reading & study topics:
"Refeeding" & "Refeeding Syndrome"
*
 Skeletons laying around on top of everything I wish I had put them in the back of my truck to find out what kind of animal they are but I didn't think of it at the time.
The skull's teeth look like horse's teeth to me.

Okay, please...lol
No more articles about "Keto Crotch".
I don't, wanna know...
Not clicking on any of them,
Ewe
Lol
Time to go plant based, & clean house y'all.♡
 I fully agree with the
high fat-high protein approach,
absolutely correct,
but they must be from a
plant based source.
Avocados, nuts/coconut/seeds, beans, & peas.
 I already know what it is, it's all the bacteria in the body from the animal products, meats/eggs, cheese/yogurt, etc.
Bacteria causes odors.
 I also noticed that fermented foods are unusually high at the top of the Keto pyramid.
Eating a large amount of fermented foods may also contribute to odors.
Raw foods are the most pure, the most nutritious,
 & the best for gut flora.
 I very rarely eat pre-fermented foods,
 maybe some pickle slices a few times a year, literally,
and my gut health/digestion is superb.
Eating meats, eggs, & anything made from farm animal milk causes the body to smell unpleasant.
Especially when people use the restroom.
 This is also what makes baby diapers smell so  horrible, cow milk formula & meat/egg baby foods.
 Babies and children have no need for meats, dairy, or eggs.
 A whole food, plant based diet is the best choice.

 Poor puppy that is definitely no place for a dog.
I know she was a stray dog that just showed up,
& they actually tied her up so she wouldn't follow them the rest of the way,
(She chewed through the rope and caught up with them)
but for dog owners, please do not force your dogs to climb with you up a super tall mountain.
 It is dangerous for humans and certainly dangerous for dogs, & very exhausting for them.
Dogs do not have boots, their paws will get absolutely torn up.
 The scenery is beautiful but the weather is very harsh and uncomfortable.
 Glad she has a comfy home now hopefully she will never have to do that again.
 It is fine to take a dog on a mountain that's only a couple thousand feet, with a very safe trail that is not too steep and rocky and brutal.
 Most of all please never force a horse to carry you up a steep and/or rocky & rough trail, I cannot believe people do that.

Yes,
I could get cosmetic rhinoplasty,
& breast augmentation,
to be more photogenic,
with an ultra slender nose,
& a protruding bosom... :)
But sadly, I will pass, & stay homely...LOL
Sorry y'all, you will never see me with implants,
& a thin little nose.
I love you too ♡♡♡
:)-
 That is my decision, for myself, anyone can do as they wish to their own bodies.
 I realize some people were born with features that make them very unhappy, and they wish to change, and that is their right.
 Personally, I have accepted my flaws, and am fine with living with them forever lol.
 I do think this technology is useful in desperate situations,
for victims of physical trauma,
who need reconstruction.
 I also think people should be embracing their natural look as much as they can.
  Just realize that some cosmetic surgeries are not as easy, simple, & safe as they are portrayed to be.

This patient looks very young maybe fresh out of high school.
Granted, she does have a very small chest, even smaller than mine!
I still don't think I would do it.
 She looks beautiful to me just the way she is.♡

She is a beautiful woman.
But isn't she a little..warm...?
Live a little, take the wrap off your head, lol.
Let the hair breathe..it's OK.
Relax,
get comfortable, seriously nobody cares...lol.
Can she hear okay?
 I will be completely honest, it's kind of weird, to me.
 I just don't see how that is necessary.
 And what is the purpose of those things again?
(Hijabs)
 Just to hide the hair?
Is hair...evil?
 I need to look that up...
But, whatever I guess.
(Do these women truly enjoy covering up their heads all the time?)
*
Will some man beat her, or stone her to death, if she exposes her hair in public?
Is that the standard procedure in this wonderful way of life?
*
 Is she afraid every man in the room will become aroused, & pounce on top of her,
if she exposes her hair?
 Do Muslim men not have any self control...?
 A woman cannot even show her hair or her face because it is too much seductive sorcery for Muslim men to handle?
 Or is it a possessive, jealousy/insecurity issue?
"You are my woman and no one else can look at you."
?  Is that the reason?
 The truth is, covering up your head
is not required
to be a good woman,
thankfully.
;)
 I just want everyone to be comfy, lol,
just a suggestion.
♡♡♡
 Look at this other Muslim woman's eyes,
is she saying
"help me"
?
Seriously, these poor women.
 I just honestly think this is weird.
This cannot be a pleasant way to live.
 The fact is, religions are weird,
 they make people to do strange things,
like this...
*
AND THIS....
*
*
*
It's a bit much.
Everyone should just relax. :) ♡
"Pray, my child..."
Oh, pardon, did you say "pray"
or "pay"?
 Do you need more money, to buy more gilded stuff?
  Just wondering, because you fine people seem slightly materialistic, just a tad bit....

 Church should only be used as a gathering place for the community to get together, bond, and have an outlet to do good things for other people.
 Church is not about showboating around in pricey attire, huge jewels, luxury cars, and living in a gazillion dollar home.

The current Pope Francis seems pretty cool though,
he appears to be, relatively, more humble.

"Marijuana might be safer than alcohol or tobacco,
they say."
"They say"
LOL (omg)
Yes, the...billions...of hospital records..
are all lies, it is just a myth.
*
 Nearly 500,000 people
die from cigarette related causes,
in just America alone,
every...year.
 This includes an average of nearly 50,000 people who are killed from breathing secondhand smoke,
annually.
 Yet these 2 substances remain completely legal.
 It is absolutely illogical to even attempt to equate marijuana with cigarettes and alcohol.
 The statistics are overwhelmingly disproportionate,
 I do not know how anyone could try to debate such an issue with a straight face.
 How many people are killed by marijuana every year?
 Alcohol and cigarettes are linked to causing cancer,
 marijuana is only linked to curing cancer.
 I also have 1st hand knowledge that marijuana is very helpful to mental patients, much more effective and much safer than antipsychotics, which can actually cause dementia.

The simply unbelievable things, that come out of some people's mouths...wow.
"Derp"
(Very classy dress btw, super appropriate for the occasion.)
 Again I am not a "Democrat",
however I tend to agree more with their perspective.
A large portion of Americans are not Republican,
it isn't entirely
"the will of the American people"
to have a Republican president,
extremely ignorant thing to say.
 Many Americans want nothing to do with this border wall, racism against Hispanics, the destruction of our planet, supporting animal cruelty, or imposing laws that control people's love lives & what women do with their own bodies.
 One thing that resulted from the previous democratic administration, that I do not like at all,
 is being forced to carry health insurance,
 and being fined hundreds, and hundreds, of dollars
if I do not.
 I'm not saying I will never get health insurance,
 I am going to look into it, & research what I might need.
I do not eat a cancerous, artery clogging diet, I do not smoke cigarettes, I do not drink alcohol regularly, & I do not take any pills, I do not have any children, & I also drive very slowly & safely lol.
My main concern would be an injury, from an accident hiking or such.
 But I do not like being forced, and/or fined.
Thank you very much!

Wow, reportedly the owner of this puppy mill turned themselves in.
 We all make mistakes, we all fall under negative influence and do unethical things at times.
It is great when people humble themselves enough to admit they are wrong, and seek help.
*
 I fully agree puppy mills are wrong.
 The tricky part is, at the end of the day, these are still animals that need a good home...
 So, do you just leave a puppy in a pet store, until it dies there?
No...you don't, so, I do not agree with people who say "never buy an animal from a pet store".
 You are still basically adopting the animal.
"Buy"... "adopt"...same thing, essentially giving the animal a home.
Look at how expensive it is, to adopt...buy... an animal from a shelter, after they inject the animal with unhealthy shots, mutilate their genitals, &
surgically implant an electronic chip into the animal's neck (And then they don't even turn the thing on, you have to pay to get turned on.).
 Would you have an electronic microchip implanted into your own child's neck?
 No...???
Lol
 Well, why not??
They are supposedly
perfectly safe lol.
Right...
I would guess this mutilation is also added to your adoption bill, when people...buy...animals, from animal shelters.
Feel  free to watch this disturbing operation here:
I am sure that feels great after the cat wakes up...
Imagine how your ear would feel after someone cut off the tip with a pair of scissors.
 Is being locked up in a small cage at an animal center, or a shelter, any better than a pet store?
*
 Adolf Hitler used to breed "Aryan" children.
 Should people not adopt these children just because they came from Lebensborn?
*
*
*
*
States should impose very harsh penalties for operating abusive puppy mills, to deter breeders from starting them to begin with.
Not jail time, but strenuous community service,
& fines if applicable, which would go towards animal rescue & care.

Omgosh...
The link above has a video showing what happened.
Inexplicable :(
Am I happy the man died?
No, I do not feel any pleasure in this.
  Perhaps if the man was abusing/torturing the animal much more harshly, stabbing the elephant with a knife for example, I would be more angry & honestly maybe even glad he is now gone.
But it was a terrible accident, & everyone does regretful things at times.
I do not know what else this man did to the elephant off camera however but shouldn't just speculate at this point.
Very sad. :(
They certainly do need to recruit people who are more patient with animals, poor elephant, hope it is in loving & gentle care now.
*
Glad, at the very least, an investigation was prompted to review this place that is housing elephants.

So are the horsies really enjoying this?
I believe they would rather not.
I love Leadville, CO.
I always enjoy going there,
but they need to discontinue the use of work horses.
I would not support this.
If people need to pull skiers around they should use a snow mobile or such, not force horses to work.
This goes for all cities all over the globe that are using horses for labor.
That is old fashioned/ignorant society, we have evolved, animals do not enjoy hauling people on their backs or in a heavy carriage, all while having their heads jerked around like a steering wheel.
*
 Horses get excited to go for rides, simply because they are able to get out, & run around...they are not excited to carry people & be dominated.

Wouldn't it be nice, if these junk food companies would all shut down, & quit making everyone obese.
What do these people say to themselves before going to sleep?
"Ah, nice, fulfilling day of putting horrible food in grocery stores for people to buy, so they can get sick & overweight.
Can't wait to do it again tomorrow!"
I would switch careers.
By "junk food" I also mean traditional meat, egg, dairy, & doughy baked foods...the types of foods that made Henry VIII obese,
back in the 1500's.
Obesity dates back even long before Henry VIII time,
it is certainly not a newfound health issue only caused by modern processed foods as some people believe.

Out of control, deadly man, armed with a knife, who wouldn't surrender.
Police shot him with a tazer...& then apprehended him.

The poor man, & his poor father who had to find him like that.
No, it was certainly not "necessary" to shoot & kill the animals.
Especially if the man had already passed away!
 It was not as if he was in the midst of being attacked and time was of the essence.
Have these policemen ever heard of tranquilizers,
is there no capable animal control service trained in humanely containing & relocating innocent animals?
 
 I am wondering if the man's father wanted the animals killed, because he was so angry, who knows.
The poor, innocent cats... :(
*
Big cats may pose a threat to the other residents if they were to accidentally escape.
 If I knew my neighbor had a lion and a lioness in his backyard I would be a little weary about walking around, isn't exactly fair to others.
I cannot expect area residents to be at ease with my bringing these types of animals near them & their children, if there were any children.
I do not know what level of security the cats were being housed in, compared to a zoo.
It may have been strict, or lenient, I don't know.
If people want to adopt handicapped, or raised-in-captivity animals who shouldn't be dumped in the wild & need a home, a very remote location is better.
Another hard lesson learned.
A tragic accident, R.I.P.♡
*
*
This happens in many countries.
USA:
*
A lion being slowly shot to death.
What is the protocol for humanely separating a big cat from a person it is, or was, attacking?
I know it is extremely difficult to do, but surely there is a plan, in case it happens, & nothing is certain to work every time.
I think I would just keep my distance from these animals given their unpredictability.
Unless I raised the animal since birth & felt almost certain it would never attack me,
but still no guarantee.
Just a risk you must take if you want to be close to a lion & have that awesome experience.

A mess. Just like Coca Cola, turn the cheek,
& continue to sell.
Not anyone wants to harm the environment,
or cause obesity,
but more importantly the industry seeks to thrive. 
We waste an enormous amount of fossil fuel on needless plastic products,
plastic toys & balloons for example.
But their goal is high sales, not low sales,
frown on decreasing plastic usage
& lowering the need for their product.
So, it's a mess.
These industries need to focus on how to shift gears, transition to a more sustainable product,
even though this goldmine is hard to resist & we are so deeply entrenched in fossil fuel dependency.
The train is speeding down the track
& nobody dares to stop it because
we simply need our plastic shopping bags,
my kids want these toys,
& balloons are purrty.
I was given plastic toys growing up,
I enjoyed them, but I certainly didn't require them.
Wooden toys are ecofriendly/biodegradable &
natural materials also keep children more calm.
Plastic toys contribute to temperament issues.
It is not impossible to break away towards less usage.
Simply lowering our purchases of plastic items would help us gain more independence from fossil fuels.
*
Conserve fossil fuels for more important things such as internet/communication, transportation, food supply, trauma care, etc.
Nobody needs a plastic Halloween spider ring...
Do they lol?
I mean, would you protest, in support...of plastic Halloween spider rings?
Hmmm, the Earth...or...this cool little plastic ring that looks like a spider!

Manual & visual examinations regularly is good advice, keep a close eye on your body.
A few of these "tips" are not good.
No mammograms, no sunscreen, no tight bras.
I stopped buying & wearing bras years ago.
You don't want to restrict blood circulation to any area of the body, this may damage that area.
Sunscreen no more,
& I have never had a mammogram.
(Breast implants increase the risk of health issues.)

A healthy diet protects against breast cancer,

I have not subjected myself to this humiliation in at least 20 years maybe more...?
Or a clinical breast exam, without any issues.
I cannot even recall the last appointment it has been so long.
One of the many benefits of a cleaner, whole food, plant based diet, it protects the reproductive system from illnesses.
Infections in female, and male, genital areas for example are caused by bacteria in animal products which can be transferred onto private parts of the body from a partner's saliva, fingers, etc.
*
Eliminating meats, eggs, cheese, & all dairy will keep a person's saliva clean & the hands more sanitary.
This diet also protects against & cures all sexually transmitted diseases including AIDS/HIV.
Pregnant women are the healthiest when eating whole food, plant based as well, no vaccines needed, these methods which in effect both greatly reduce risks of pregnancy issues,
& health problems in babies.

Please,♡ hike & climb mountains only during friendly weather months.
Warm, the least amount of snow on the peak,
& with the least amount of rain on the mountain.
Research area weather, & plan the ascent on a more cloud-free/clearer & warmer day, around full moon time, (the 3rd/4th week of every month)
when there is light out at night.
I was oblivious to these things the 1st time I attempted to climb a tall mountain, I learned the hard way(thought I was going to die), without any study or experience I began walking on
Black Cloud Trail on Mount Elbert in Colorado, & hiked the lower/mid segment a few days, over the treeline on the last day,
while learning a lot about the challenges of climbing to the peak of a huge mountain.
It is no light skip in the park!
I later went back & reached the summit
via Mount Elbert Trail during lighter snow season/late August.
I 100% understand the need to challenge myself,
the reason I love climbing mountains also.
Summiting an infamous trail, in the most difficult climate, would be legendary, absolutely,
but are some things really worth my life?
The issue is search efforts are made more difficult, to impossible, during harsh weather.
Most governments will make a rescue attempt,
rather than ignoring a missing person.
Rescuers are at higher risk in inclement,
more avalanche prone weather...
For that reason alone we should only hike in weather friendly months.
Hoping they appear.♡

I am fine with living in the nude,
on a warm beach,
because clothing is a pain,
but that is easier said than done. :)-
Who gives any thought to the economic footprint of their clothes?
Some are better than others:
*
*
Regarding clothing, fiber crops/natural plant based fabrics are more ecofriendly,
a high cotton blend at the least.
*
Unpopular perspective amidst the spandex
yoga pants frenzy &
synthetic workout clothing craze.
(Cue the "Debbie Downer" SNL music)
*
Synthetic fabrics are similar to plastic bottles, they do not decompose back into the soil like natural cotton, linen, hemp, etc. fabrics do.
They also shed microplastics into the water filtration systems, a problem due to their extremely tiny size that can escape through filters.
The less synthetic fabrics we use the better,
they are highly prevalent in
business & exercise apparel.
(It is very much possible to stay in shape without 5,000 different pairs of tennis shoes,
& spandex outfits, just to be clear.♡)
*
*
*
*
*
Clothing is an easier area to avoid buying synthetic fabrics.
Things like camping tents, & bathing suits, etc. are water-proof dependent & more of a challenge.
*
Plant based fabrics include cotton, linen, hemp, & many others:
*
*
*
Large scale animal based fabrics & feather fillings are generally derived
using inhumane treatment of animals, &
in some industries (silk production) the animal is intentionally killed in the process:
*
*
*
Fiber crops are the ethical
& more ecofriendly choice.
*
*
*
They also are not odorous, producing a rancid/musty smell, like most animal based fabrics
& fur coats are.
Any mass produced products derived from animals will inflict sanitation problems onto the environment.

"No mom, I want to get injected with God knows what, because the government says it is healthy...
so, of course, it must be...
the government never allows things that are harmful to people.
I am 18 now, I know everything.
Raw fruits & vegetables have kept me from getting sick for 18 years but, now I need a vaccine, mom."

The day my son takes the government's word over mine, would be a heartbreaking day.

I wish Miami hadn't devoured the best area of southern Florida, with the best beaches.
Now it's just concrete, hellish traffic, & noise.
I avoid big cities like the plague, miserable places in my opinion, just being honest, I am losing my mind in Austin trying to find somewhere pretty, quiet, & peaceful to go where it is sunny & warm.
The only reason I go to Austin or Houston is because I have to visit family who unfortunately live there,
otherwise I would never...LOL.
Yes I was born in Houston ♡ but I still hate the endless concrete, noise, & traffic, it is hell on Earth.
I just despise humans so much sometimes, for destroying all the natural, pristine scenery.
Just imagine...what southern Florida
use to look like, before we showed up,
& I know I am taking part in it!
I am not the one actually bulldozing trees &
constructing roads & buildings, but I drive on the roads, & I sleep and shop in the buildings.
Sometimes I wish I was born thousands of years ago, 10,000 BC!
Long before the Industrial Revolution,
when most land was still natural, pretty, & undisturbed.
  It is obvious that this planet is going to hell in a handbasket...there will be no nature left,
the human population is growing,
& destroying everything.
It will be a giant landfill.
Have a good day LOL ♡♡♡
(I am right though...you have to admit.)

That is a slightly strange requirement,
in South Padre Island, TX.
Food truck vendors required to obtain a local restaurant's signed approval, to secure a permit.
"Good day, I am your competitor, pleasure to meet you, would you mind writing me a letter of recommendation?"
Okay if I owned a restaurant, & a food truck vendor asked me to sign for their business, would I?
If they were kind people, with healthy food,
yes I would.
Competition must be adapted to,
& it inspires progress!

I hope they are found.
I Googled the story of Tom's mother, wow.
The 1st women to ever summit Everest, alone, without any oxygen aid...?
She also reached K2's summit without oxygen.
She died, reportedly from being struck by a sudden 140 mph wind storm,
while descending K2's summit at age 33.
Amazing, incredibly brave woman.
*
*
*
I completely understand the drug like addiction of climbing summits, the allure & inspiration of being in such places.
Conquering a peak is always followed by an urge to climb an even taller, or notoriously more difficult, mountain or trail.
I plan to climb Whitney in California soon,
only around 1/2 the height of Everest!
Everest is reportedly just under 30k...29,029 feet.
Whitney is reportedly 14,505 feet.
Elbert in Colorado is 14,439' the tallest summit I have climbed so far.
Guadalupe Peak in Texas I summited a short while ago is 8,750 feet.
& then Denali in Alaska I plan someday to climb, is just over 20k feet.
Washington/Mount Rainier @ 14,417', Wyoming/Gannett Peak @ 13,809',
& Utah/King's Peak @ 13,534' are also some of the highest mountains in America I plan on climbing all of them eventually.
I have to wait for warmer, low snow & rain months.
I do not care to fight harsh weather and a crazy incline that is killing my thighs.
 For taller mountains that cannot be completed in one day you have to camp and sleep on the mountain and continue the next day, I have not done that before but I could.
The tent & all equipment must be carried on your back, making the journey extra strenuous!
My 1 day trip backpack is around 15/20 pounds.
I take thick boots & light river shoes,
warm & cool clothes, water container & lots of food,
all carried on the back...it's a workout!
I drink the mountain snow also to stay alert & hydrated (never get sick).
*
I'm amazed when I see people at a summit in tennis shoes & shorts, I feel wimpy with all my gear lol.
But it gives me a more comfortable & energetic trip,
granted the tennis shoes & shorts climbers usually look pretty fatigued!
*
Since I hate flying on planes (nooo!!!!!),
I am not sure I will ever see Everest or K2 but who knows!
Can I sail there by ship...?
*
I should become a ship captain so I can sail myself around the world!
Then I can die out at sea, instead of on a mountain, or in a plane crash.
:/
 
One little slip while hiking can be fatal, this reminds me to always be very cautious & walk carefully!
Sometimes I get a little careless & don't watch my step as much as I should, & I always hike alone usually.
I would never attempt a super high summit in snowy or rainy weather months,
to me the risk just isn't worth it,
I don't need to do it that bad.
But even in mild snow, on a clear & sunny day,
there are risks.
I very much hope they are found ♡ be safe!

Why should the USA be allowed to build any type of weapons, but not North Korea...?
Why would they ever agree to that?
I do not get this...
My brother says "because they (North Korea) are more likely to use them."
Okay, that justifies why the US wants to disarm other countries but still,
why would North Korea ever want to denuclearize their own country?
Does the USA want to be without these weapons.....?
"NOOOOOO!!! ARE YOU CRAZY??"
*
How is this fair?
In a perfect & just world, all countries would demilitarize. :)

What causes maniacal behavior in people?
To the point of scheming a plan to commit murder, of 1 person, or an entire population,
forcing others to sadly, & fearfully, live in self defense mode???
Here are my answers:
1. Killing & eating animals 
2. Alcohol
3. Harmful drugs & tobacco products
4. Inadequate nutrition
5. Dehydration
6. Sleep deprivation
7. Physical pain/chronic pain
8. Mental stress caused by tragic events or troubling situations.
All of the above negatively alter people's thinking & their entire personalities even.
A person who feels bad, physically, may become more hostile. 
*
It sounds too simplistic, & many people do not want to believe this, but clean diet & good physical health are vital for world peace.

1. I could not care less about
who-kissed-who...why...where...when..
or for how much lol.
Who...cares...
Prostitution should not be illegal, for adults,
it is essentially natural.
Men take women, including their "wives", out on dates all the time,
spend a bunch of money,
all while anticipating physical activity at the end of the night, it is implied...
Putting men & women in jail simply for being intimate, & condemning acts of intimacy is nonsensical.
*
Acts of violence, hate, & oppression are the true offenses.
*
So that argument is between the couple.
No concern of mine,
party all you want, why do I need to worry about what you are doing in that respect?
I don't.
I think marriage is unnecessary anyway.
*
2. His crimes are not worthy of being locked in a cage like a murderous, out of control person in my opinion.
Our system should be reformed,
this is America 2019, not medieval Europe,
a cage is little much...barbaric, simple minded.
 I am questioning whether he will actually spend much time locked in a cage however, he seemed pretty calm to me, unless he was sedated just a thought, but I do not know!
Wishing all the best.
Don't do illegal things with money!

White Americans are the biggest threat
to white Americans,
not Hispanics, in regards to race.
*
Most white Americans are not killed by another human, but by lethal diseases caused from consuming:
alcohol
tobacco products
beef/steak
eggs, dairy, poultry, seafood
pork, & pharmaceuticals
*
All of these extremely fatal products are legal.
*
White American murder victims are typically killed by other white Americans, not Hispanic gangs or African Americans.
Any unique case is tragic but in terms of numbers caucasians kill the most caucasians.
*
Gang violence is primarily internal,
gangsters killing other rival gangsters.
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
The highest murder rates of Americans,
in all of America, are reportedly
coming from African American ghettos,
in Eastern American cities,
not from Texas/Hispanic border towns in the West.
*
All murders are significant.
"Black on black" gun, and often
alcohol related, crime causes the most
killing of "legal" Americans,
an ongoing national emergency...
*
 Is it because these gun shot victims are low-income African Americans, that this fact is not drawing as much attention as building a wall between Texas and Mexico, & prohibiting Hispanic people from moving to America?
*
Texas is not listed in the very top most homicide prone states, the cities where the most Americans are killed.
*

Trying to pass laws forcing vaccines on the public.
*
"the only exception being those who cannot be given the vaccine for medical reasons.”
*
 If something cannot be taken under certain medical situations,
that means it is dangerous.
 Unlike fruits and vegetables which
may be ingested during whatever medical issue,
because they are 100% healthy,
and would not cause any harm.
*
 Animal products in the human diet cause all of these diseases not unvaccinated people.
*
This disease was never "eliminated" simply with a vaccine, obviously, because cases are still being reported.
As long as the cause remains so will the disease.
*
Artificial sweetener
Farm animal collagen
Antibiotics
Processed salt
&
"Blood ingredients"
LOL?
Sounds great,♡ fill me up!
*
These vaccines are made using abortion,
ironic for pro-life groups who promote vaccines.
*
*
*
*
There are no adverse reactions, least of all any risk of death nomatter how "rare" the deaths are, to things which are actually healthy like fruits & vegetables.

This website says this, my map above.^
Top 10 most dangerous cities in Texas...?
May be able to fact check here?
Total crimes reported, violent & nonviolent.
1-10, red the worst, & purple the lesser.
Out of 10 cities only 2 at the border, 1 & 4.
The other 9 cities are 140+ miles away from the border.
*
The west/Mexican border area has less crime
than the east border area.
*
Most crime occurs in areas in or near the top 5 most populated cities in Texas, all away from the border with Mexico.
*
 Weslaco is #1, however, the high crime rate here is due to property theft,
not violent crime.
*
Murder & assault account for only a tiny percentage of crime in Weslaco,
see chart below.

The first step in reforming neighborhood "ghettos",
is banning the sale of alcohol & tobacco products.
*
This includes closing all liquor stores, & removing cigars, cigarettes, & alcoholic beverages from all store, restaurant, & venue, shelves.
(People can just dance, chat, & drink fruit smoothies in night clubs.♡
 Although you don't see a whole lot of nightclubs in ghettos I don't believe, however you can find plenty of liquor stores.)
A healthy, positive, clean, & safer environment will better influence all it's residents.
*
Crime would also greatly decrease.

A very good sign indeed, cool news. :)
Not exactly a detoxing/fat burning food,
but when it comes down to it,
at least the poor animals are not being killed.
*
Still this plant based burger is far less fattening than a bacon, cheese, & beef burger.
*
Be sure to pile the raw food thick with a "burger"
especially if you eat a lot of them.
Lots of lettuce, tomatoes, raw onion, avocado, etc.
This will help keep the belly flat & trim.
The bread buns are very fattening, all the salt causes bloating, the raw condiments will help burn all of that off.
I personally have no need for pretend meats or eggs in my life, but I would encourage this, if choosing between meat or plant based burgers.
Think of the animals...
*
I recommend everyone (who doesn't work in the meat, egg, or dairy industry)
to Google "modern animal slaughter videos",
force yourself to watch...& become aware, of how animal agriculture actually works.
I am still developing my
Animal Abuse Awareness page.
There is so much people should know about.
If I had known, about baby chicks being ground up alive for example, I would have gone vegan much sooner.

Morons.
Sorry, a moronic...thing to do rather. :)
After seeing a morbid video on Instagram of this poor little baby girl being restrained, stabbed in the ears, & then crying...I am sick.
*
I cannot believe piercing a tiny baby's ears is even legal, well actually I guess I can believe it,
look at everything else that is horrible & totally legal.
*
It also looks super tacky, on a little baby.
*
Letting everyone know...
"Hi, my mother is an idiot, please adopt me,
kidnap me...asap."
*
Whatever, not my kid lol, jeez.
Just sad...
*
My mother, thoughtfully, held off & let me decide when to get my ears pierced.
She didn't like the idea of inflicting pain on her baby for some shallow, cosmetic reason.
When I was around pre-teen age I had it done.
That $#÷! hurts, & should not be done on babies.
The puncture wound can get swollen, infected, sore, scabby, & cause discomfort...
on a baby's little ears, terrible.
*
This also has to damage trust in the child.
?
"Oh God, she's putting me in the car seat...
Where, is she taking me now,
to get breast implants???
Someone help me, I am frightened!!
I would dial 911 but I am only 3 months old,
& plus these 1.5 inch acrylic fingernails mom had put on my hands yesterday, are in the way!"
*
Oh yes, if you have breast implants done on your child while they are under 12 months of age,
they don't remember the pain at all.
Groovy :)
My baby girl is gonna be HAWT!
*
I know, harsh.
I am just typing everything that I am honestly thinking, oops.
Maybe I should delete?
In a nicer way:
Well, I cannot think of a nicer way, to say this is a very stupid thing to do, lol.

I love to just snack on it plain.
Coconut is also very healthy for dogs,

Have you ever had fresh coconut water?
Straight from the coconut?

The poor deer. :( :(
I am still not afraid of deer, no reason to be.
*
People should not be eating animals anyway.
Going vegan will eliminate risks of becoming ill from eating meat.
*
Please, do not use this as a poor excuse to kill deer,
they are not going to charge after anyone & start devouring people alive, with their little leaf-eating teeth.
*
Just allow a sick deer to live out it's last moments & let nature handle it.
*
I don't think anyone would shoot & kill their own child, or any family member,
if they were suffering from this same illness...
*
Why not "euthanize"/shoot mom, or grandma,
if they are dying anyway,  & suffering?
Because that would be wrong...?
Why is it okay to end an animal's life early?
By shooting it with a gun no less.
*
My heart breaks for these poor, sick deer.
Just eat plant based & you will not have to worry about becoming ill.
*
 I would be willing to bet humans are to blame for this issue somehow, someway.
*
  The cleaner & healthier we are, the cleaner & healthier the animals will be.
*
 The other day I saw a bunch of cats crawling in-and-out of a filthy dumpster, eating scraps of food that were inside.
Those poor cats, that is highly unsanitary,
 considering what is inside that dumpster...
Old meat, & germ covered packaging, germ laden egg cartons, stale dairy products & packaging,
likely making the cats sick.
*
Garbage cans containing processed animal products can cause diseases in animals that
eat out of human garbage cans,
spreading sickness.
One example of how our diet/lifestyle affects the animals.
*
A dumpster filled with just plant based food scraps would not be so contaminated or harmful.
*
Clean people, clean animals.♡

I'm not sure if there is any clear sky, anywhere, in Texas right now, or I would drive somewhere else. :/
Boo!!! I'm bummed, what to do... :(
I may drive somewhere less cloudy, hmmm.
This snow moon is reportedly the biggest full moon of the year, the closest perigee.

No meats, no eggs,
no cow/goat milk cheese/butter/whip cream/other creamy saucy things
made from farm animal milk...
Get creative!
This here's my banana~dry oats~organic maple syrup bowl,
my go-to breakfast.
Delicious!♡♡♡
Add lots of nuts for more fat & protein.♡
(There are now plant based, cholesterol free, versions of all dairy products available at stores,
homemade is usually healthier!

Evidently Fox News has no understanding of veganism & is not up to date on modern health.
They are also seemingly unaware that a great many vegan mothers are having very healthy vegan babies.
*
Anytime a baby is simply not fed enough,
there will be issues.
A plant based diet is far healthier for babies than meats, eggs, & dairy/cow milk.
*
At 5 months, the mother should have
been breastfeeding the baby, all day, if able.
If not able to breastfeed, find another lactating woman, or find a human breastmilk bank.
*
Glad the baby will be somewhat okay, I suppose, it is now being fed extremely unhealthy cow milk formula, which will not help the health issues the baby has.
*

Creating a more hostile, militant, & dangerous environment will not decrease crime.
People will adapt to any partition & carry out plans in new ways.
Building a hateful wall & spreading more racist energy will not decrease gangs,
this racism forms gangs.

Gangs are a product of racism,
a retaliation.
More racism = more gang crime.

MAGA gear.
Shirts, hats, signs....todo.
It was very weird!
That....I do not understand, no comprendo.
I didn't want to point my camera at them lol,

In this case El Chapo should not be incarcerated,
he should be made

AMERICA LOVES YOU & YOUR DRUG MONEY

The commemorative plaque will read:
"PROUDLY BUILT, FROM COCAINE PROFITS"
Yes...sir.

YAYE COCAINE!
Cocaine money to the rescue.
And here everyone thinks drug lords are bad people lol.
El Chapo saved America...
*
Sculpt a huge rolled up dollar bill to place next to
El Chapo's statue.
Or a straw, whatever is used.
And then just legalize cocaine use in America,
since cocaine is so legit, & beneficial...lol.
*
Cocaine is gross.
*
Perhaps...use that money to help unfortunate people?
Clean up all the filthy, hellish, frightening ghettos, that some children are being raised in?
There are plenty of those types of neighborhoods to be found
all over America,
as well as in Mexico.
*
At least give his money to his kids...
*
Send him to jail for life,
then turn around & use the money he made for a government agenda.
Only an idiot would not see any moral issues with this.

No American should support this wall.

So, so, terribly sad. :( :(
Poor girl.
You never know how 2 animals will react with each other.
I'm sure there are a lot of guilty feelings,
very heartbreaking.
 Sometimes it seems like you are darned if you do, and yet darned if you don't....
Such is life.
 A terrible outcome, no one intended for this result.
 I don't think this happens every single time 2 animals are introduced in captivity,
 unfortunately it did this time.
Poor sweet girl. :(
 Caring for animals is so joyful but very stressful also.
*
Animals also kill each other in the wild,
all day, every day.
:(
Tigers are known to be the largest big cats,
bigger than lions.
Male tigers can grow 10-13 feet long.
The average male lion reportedly reaches 8 feet with some occasional exceptions.
A learning experience! :(

If vaccines are so great, why, is everyone in the hospital...?
"This year's vaccine..."
....doesn't work...?
 I remember when I used to get sick during winter, it was not fun at all.
 It is so nice being able to get through the year without coming down with a horrible cold.
*
No vaccines or pharmaceuticals needed.
*
 If you don't want to get sick,
stop eating meats/eggs & dairy,
don't smoke tobacco products,
don't drink alcohol,
& eat whole fruits and vegetables.
It truly works... :)
 Yes it is that simple.
Many people have a very difficult time believing that diet basically controls your health.
 It is really quite logical,
what you put into your body.....
affects your....body....
 Animal products are full of bacteria.
Bacteria City.
 They make the body inflamed, achy, feverish, prone to infections,
and full of mucus coming from every orifice.
Highly processed foods & drinks are unnatural, & also have negative side effects like inflammation.
 Eating a clean diet truly will keep you well, even all throughout the winter!
*
Vaccines are not a healthy solution,
nor do they actually cure any illnesses.
 The only way to cure an illness is to eliminate the cause, vaccines do not do that.
 The cause is meats, eggs, dairy, alcohol/tobacco, & processed foods.
Mental stress also plays a major role in sickness.
If you are an anxious, irritated ball of nerves all the time, this may make you prone to illness.
 Unless you eat a super clean raw vegan diet,
 and have great immunity, that does not allow sickness, but even still, a highly distressed brain may cause problems.
 My boyfriend for example, we've been dating around 10 years, & I have...literally...not ever once seen him seriously ill.
 He may get some light sinus congestion every blue moon, for like 1 day, and that's it.
 And he does not eat 100% raw vegan.
 I truly believe this is because he has such a mellow personality, unlike me lol.
He is not a chronic worrier like I am,
he rarely worries himself about anything.
 He generally just does not let things bother him.
Except for me, I can make him pretty mad lol.
 I am terrible.
 I am surprised he doesn't get sick just from dating me lol!
I am not healthy for him! :(
;)-
Actually, it seems I am healthy for him,
since, in 10 years I have never seen him very sick!
:)
 I just make him punch holes in the walls.
 It is good for him,
that is how he releases stress lol!

Hmmm,
I don't think he should run for "president",
too much stress.
Is it worth it?
Your life...?
Unless he truly wants to.
He is essentially presidential already...
10.5 hours to El Paso....
Hmmmmmmm
This should be quite a scene lol.

DON'T DO IT...
Anyone who has implants, male or female,
should definitely eat a cancer fighting diet..
No meats/eggs, dairy, gelatin, etc., & eat lots of cancer preventing raw fruits & vegetables.
*
People with implants also definitely should not drink alcohol or smoke tobacco products, both decrease immunity & allow malignant cancers to form in any vulnerable areas inside the body.
Taking a bunch of pharmaceuticals for years also decreases immunity.
*
 Breast augmentation is marketed as an easy-breezy surgery, just come on in, for some breast implants, painless piece of cake.
This is not the reality.
This is very serious surgery.
*
 It is also not exactly made clear, that these things will eventually degrade, & need to be removed & replaced, sometime later in life, maybe more than once even.
Meaning...another surgery.
This procedure should be illegal.
Perhaps only used on patients of physical trauma.
*
Avoid the risky mammograms, just eat & drink healthy, exercise frequently (which also prevents cancers), avoid taking pills, stay away from alcohol, cigarettes & also 2nd hand smoke, (Breathing in someone else's cigarrette smoke all day long can still possibly give you cancer.) & give yourself close examinations often.
Many people who have implants do not develop cancers, just be safe. ♡
*
Oh, last but not least, implant patients definitely must keep bodyweight in a healthy range, excess weight also decreases immunity which promotes cancer growth.
Refer to the food pages on this website for healthy, cancer fighting, fat burning meal ideas.♡♡

Unbelievable behavior by these critics of the winner,
but I am admittedly relieved...
I saw the headline
"Shift In Beauty Standards"
& I thought "Oh God, are they allowing obesity into these beauty pageants now...?
Please...no"
Sports Illustrated magazine, unfortunately succumbed to the terrible fat acceptance movement.
I wonder how their sales are doing, since they began featuring obese women?
 I would be very interesting to know.
 Perhaps just morbid curiosity is making people still buy the magazine.
 Also I've noticed that obese men are more accepting of obese women.
& considering (I would guess) probably around  90% of American men are overweight...
(A tight, completely flat stomach on any American, adult or child, is extremely rare these days.)
that is quite a large audience.
It's just "Team Obesity" support perhaps.
*
A beautiful pair of Siamese twins in a beauty pageant would be better than sending out a message to young girls & women that gorging on unhealthy, cancerous food/drink & straining your heart with pounds & pounds of excess weight is perfectly fine, & pretending that excess body fat is attractive.
*
 Although I would bet, because it is a fact, that issues with fetus development are also cause by animal products and processed foods being consumed during pregnancy.
The same things that cause obesity.
*
Oh, okay, it is just her skin color that is an issue,
with some deranged people.
Really...?
I mean...really....?
She is quite beautiful!

Hungry Tara...?
I just wolfed down 2 avocados,
& almost finished with a 3rd lol.
Around,
1,000 calories
50g total carbs (mostly fiber)
100g (healthy) total fat
13g (healthy) saturated fat
12g protein
And lots of vitamins & minerals.
Sometimes I don't take the time throughout the day to eat!
Avocados are not fattening.
Avocados do not cause diabetes.
Avocados do not cause fatigue.
Exactly the opposite, avocados cure all of those issues. :)
I am guessing the palm tree muralist also painted these cute shells...lol ♡
I have not painted in so long!
It's so messy.
& so toxic...lol
I feel bad using all those toxic art supplies...
Everything is freagin' toxic it seems!
I love avocados though.♡
Yes, I eat onions like apples,
like George did on Seinfeld. :)
Because onions are delicious & super healthy, mmm.
They never make my eyes water either,
that happened a little before I went vegan.
But since going vegan, I never cry around raw onions anymore...hmmm...?

Animal cruelty, counter productive (killing animals/insects makes them breed in higher numbers),
& extremely unhealthy for people & the environment,
dropping poison bombs on the land.
Very bad idea. :(
"Rodenticide"
First time hearing that word ever.
 Of course the poison manufacturers are going to convince politicians & the public that their product is not a threat.
 It is somehow, magically, only a threat to rats...
wow
How about a humanicide...humans are basically the worst thing that has ever happened to the Earth, & the entire universe is on track to suffer also, because of humans.
The poor animals & plants that have to live with us,
that we are killing.
So sad, just too many terrible things people are doing.
You have to ignore everything sometimes, if you ever want to be in a good mood!
Covering my eyes..."La-la-la-la-la..."
>:(
NEVER READING THE BAD NEWS MAY HELP!
Jesus, Christ
There are humane & ecofriendly ways to manage animal populations.
Also, why do we have to nose in & control everything anyway?
Just let nature take care of itself.
There needs to be more birds...?
Okay, make a list of all things that make these birds thrive...& focus on increasing that.
Not dropping poison everywhere to kill rats...
Decrease the rats' food supply so they will begin to go elsewhere for food.
I am not bothered by rats at all,
I find them adorable. ♡

Perhaps 1-2 every blue moon wouldn't cause heart disease, or cancers, & other things.
Lol, but the highly processed alcoholic drinks are not too healthy.

Uhg, such a long drive to Florida Keys & I get very sad leaving all my family & friends, & they also get all upset when I leave & drive out there, breaking away is really tough, & I do get lonely out there.

Nothing like sleeping overnight literally just a few feet away from the shoreline, the loud waves singing you to sleep lol...
This was my view waking up!
Aaaahhhhhhh...nice.
Breathing the refreshing, outdoor beach air into your body all night long...is the best!
Cute birds & beautiful waterfowl/cranes chillin' around.
I was afraid my truck was going to float away lol!
Woohoo!! Set sail!
Free camping spot, so nice of the city,
providing a free place for people to go & sleep!
 During the day they charge an entrance fee to get inside the park, but at night I guess they just let everyone in for free!
 I mean I guess it's free lol, there was nobody at the gate taking any money when I drove in.
*
 I was a little afraid at first, but there are police officers patrolling all night long, and early in the morning.
 So I felt completely safe. :)
Come on down ya'll!
Now I need a shower so bad lol.

And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one...."

Please...do not buy or disperse "Roundup".
Or any such toxic lawn & garden chemical.

Thank You For Not Using Toxic Chemicals!!!

Groovy!
Denver may, hopefully, become an even greater role model for the rest of the US states, & other countries,
for progressive/sensible drug laws.
Illegal....to eat...a...mushroom...
That is just as ludacris as marijuana being illegal.
Another harmless (non-fatal) gift from nature that actually benefits people (unlike alcohol or cigarettes which are legal & highly deadly).
Yet mushrooms & marijuana are criminalized by idiotic legislation.
I cannot eat....a mushroom...??
Screw you, moron...get outta here.
Who the hell do you think you are,
trying to ban me from simply eating mushrooms???
>:(
Stupid, & annoying....really.
I may go to jail over that one day, lol,
because it is absurd.
Not that I eat magic mushrooms every day or anything lol, actually tried them in high school & not since.
But still....!!!!!
I hunt, pick, & eat mushrooms for good health
& for funzies...♡♡♡
Go home with that nonsense.
Here anyone can go into a bar, & become as slobbering & stumbling intoxicated as they like,
& then drive a vehicle amongst the public.
Have at it...government approved...
bottoms up!
*
I can light a cancerous cigarette right in front of a policeman's face,
make everyone breathe my cancerous smoke
give everyone malignant tumors,
& that is completely legal also.
Government approved...
smoke if you got'em.
*
Magic mushrooms & marijuana do not cause cancers,
they are medicinal plants & fungi,
they instead cure cancers.
*
People who use them are not automatically turned into shivering heroin addicts.
Both should be legal,
any rational, perceptive person would agree.
*
GO DENVER! GO LOGIC! GO FREEDOM!
:)
I hope logic wins.
& "poisonous" mushrooms,
are 2 different types of mushrooms.
*
Psychedelic/psilocybin, "magic mushrooms"
are not known to be lethal. :)
Stomach upset, & possibly death from food poisoning (animal products cause deadly food poisoning cases regularly), may occur if the mushrooms are eaten with eggs, meats, dairy, or processed foods.
:(-
Or, if the mushrooms grew in an unsanitary environment & were exposed to germs.
I quote "poisonous" because it may just be a myth.
I wonder if people are blaming mushrooms for fatalities caused by other things, possibly.

Be sure to eat your morning fruits!
If I do not start the day with fruits,
I literally turn psychotic.
Foods...control...your...mood!
When I eat raw, whole fruits & veggies, I am so calm.
Much less agitated & more at peace.
*
Junk food literally makes people irritable,
children also...
It has negative effects on the brain.
"Why is my child throwing tantrums..?"
Most likely because they need more raw fruits and vegetables (Also breastmilk if they are anywhere around 6-8 years old or younger, or whenever they choose to stop.) in their diets,
and less processed foods.
*
Just scarf that fruit down, get it in your system!
Even if you are not eating a 100% raw breakfast,
INCLUDE some fruits in your meal...
Sliced banana on your toast, chopped strawberries in your cereal, orange in your oatmeal, add whole fruits anywhere you can.
Fruits are good♡♡♡
(Drinking fresh ice water all throughout the day will also calm the mind, & keep you serene.)

Rats & mice are precious little sweeties. ♡♡♡
They literally can be just as affectionate as dogs & cats.
Rats & mice actually love to be petted, when they are acquainted with people. :)
*
I found out about "rodent boxes" today. :(
People have "pest control" services place these boxes around the premises.
To lure a poor animal into a death box, poison it, then let it walk away, & die later from the poison.
Heartbreaking...
Here is a quote from a person who uses rat poison:

“I put out bait boxes, which are boxes that secure the bait inside. The bait contains a pheromone that attracts the rat to it. 

“After the rat eats the bait, it slowly ‘dries’ the rat out over the course of about three days until they basically fall asleep, usually in their nest."

Source

Slowly dries out the rat until it falls asleep.

Yea, it just peacefully, painlessly "falls asleep" nighty-night, all comfy...

amidst being "slowly dried out".

Is that supposed to make any sense?

Who would believe this is a pain-free way to kill an animal?

This causes a great deal of suffering, during a slow, torturous death.

*
Rat are just trying to eat, & defend themselves like everyone.
Now I am wondering if the poor, terribly sick, sweet, gentle little rat I found standing frozen with misery in the middle of the street, barely able to breathe,
was perhaps poisoned.
And slowly dying.
?
*
Poisonous chemicals, pesticides & herbicides, are not something that should be sprayed or distributed anywhere.
*
Poisons that are sprayed or left around, are also unhealthy for people, pets/other animals, children who are shorter, & breathe air lower to the ground where poisons are present, they are unhealthy for the soil, they also rinse into the lakes, rivers, & oceans...
our water system, & drinking water...
any edible plants growing in the yard are made inedible,
the list of hazards can go on quite a bit.
*
&
TIPS ON HOW NOT TO
ATTRACT THEM:
(NOT the toxic ammonia, killing traps, torturous sounds, or toxic baby powder.
The plant herbs & humanely harvested, not store bought owl feathers are a great ideas.)
*
THANK YOU FOR NOT SPREADING POISONS!
(And having compassion for animals.)

Surely everyone is concerned about public health,
including the folks at Coca Cola.
The tricky part is,
no company wants to sell -less- products...
*
Every adult & child in the world, drinking a 12 pack or more of Coke, every day....
is fantastic business!
*
It is actually not completely the fault of soda & energy drink companies,
 that some people literally drink soda & energy drinks at every meal, as well as all day in between meals, and allow their children to do the same.
*
 Just because fattening/unhealthy sodas, energy drinks, & processed foods exist in this world,
does not mean adults and children have to be obese.
*
Just because cancerous cigarettes are legal to sell, doesn't mean people have to buy & smoke them all day, every day.
The same with deadly alcoholic beverages,
 which are available to purchase, on almost every street corner in America.
We have the freedom to simply decline these unhealthy things.
(And then maybe they will begin to disappear!)
*
Moderation....
Drink water more often, a lot more often.
Choose healthier meals & drinks, more often.
*
Many children in this day are literally never given plain water to drink, they are raised on unhealthy processed drinks.
*
I think many people honestly do not fully realize...how fattening processed drinks are...
Some seem to think only processed foods are the issue, & that drinking sodas, energy drinks, flavored teas, & fruit juices with added sweeteners,
with every meal & snack,
is just like drinking water...
The health consequences are unknown.
*
Processed drinks are just as unhealthy as processed foods, &
DIET IS THE LARGEST FACTOR IN BODY WEIGHT,
NOT EXERCISE.
Fattening food & drink is the -only way- people actually put on excess pounds.
Simply not exercising, doesn't actually cause weight gain.
People only gain weight if they over-consume fattening foods & drinks.
*
As for the emails, I am not surprised. :/
How can Coca Cola have everyone drinking LOTS of their products, but also, not be responsible for make everyone obese...lol?
Well, when the product is fattening & unhealthy,
that is quite a challenge.
*
A glass of soda every blue moon will not cause obesity, however, soda companies want everyone drinking much more than that.
*
It is crazy that processed drinks are on some level more readily available than drinking water, in certain areas.
Well, unless a gun is being held to their heads forcing them to stay where they are, these people can always find some way to move to a different city, with a better water supply.
Who knows when improvements will be made in these areas.

Overweight pets. :( :(
I saw some of my grandmother's neighbors,
out walking their 2 obese dogs,
who were dragging behind them,
struggling to keep up.
My dogs nearly yank me off my feet when we go out.
Anyway, it was an upsetting sight. :(
*
The same fattening foods & drinks that cause obesity in people, also cause obesity in animals.
Please -never- (unless it is a desperate situation)
feed any animals dairy products.
Plain milk
Cheese
Butter
Icecream
Whip cream
Whey
Etc.
Dairy products are extremely fattening,
for humans and other animals.
Cow milk is for calves.
Goat milk is for baby goats.
When humans & other animals consume cow or goat milk, we/they become sick, and obese.
*
I saw a cat that lived on a goat farm, during a road trip, the poor thing had a horrible sinus issue, mucus coated all over it's nose, mouth, & getting into it's eyes.
The poor cat could hardly breathe because it's nose was so clogged with mucus.
Likely from being fed goat milk constantly.
I mentioned to the owner that dairy is not healthy for cats, it was heartbreaking to see this cat's suffering.
*
Breads, fried batter foods,
& processed "pet treats" are also very fattening for animals.
See below (fattening processed foods, not healthy for people & also not healthy for animals):

*
MORE WHOLE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
LESS PROCESSED FOODS,
HEALTHY & HAPPY ANIMALS ♡

Oregano...marijuana...both are harmless...lol
"We confiscated a bunch of marijuana!!!"
Um....and.....?
And, now, you are going to smoke all of it lol...?
I would bet at least, probably much more than, 50% of officers smoke marijuana.
Any state that, still, prohibits the use of marijuana should be greatly embarrassed, utterly ridiculous laws.

Such a strange story lol.
To clarify.....plain garlic & spices, do not cause body odor, least of all severe body odor, or bad breathe.
That is a myth...
It is actually quite the opposite, garlic & spices are antibacterial, which eliminates odors.
So in reality, people who need to cure this problem should consume more raw garlic & spices, while eliminating eggs, dairy, & meats from their diet.
Think about how smelly animal products are,
these things cause odors in many different areas of the body.
*
I eat a great deal of raw garlic, & lots of spices,
& I smell just fine lol.
I guarantee animal products are to blame for that disorder,
being full of harmful bacteria.

I was moved by a 300+ pound (??? Not sure of her exact weight, just guessing.) very young teenage girl, sitting next to me in a restaurant
who ordered a diet soda to drink.
Many people apparently truly believe that diet soda is just like drinking water, completely non-fattening.
Very false information!
Full of chemicals & still super fattening.
*
Then this girl's grandfather begins muttering, purposefully loud enough so everyone hears him, about how
"the Democrats don't care about security...
& I forgot to get my gun this morning,
need to go back & get it."
Oh, jeez lol.
Yup...this entire scene, looks & sounds about right.
Lol
And Mr. Trigger Happy Nervous Racist Republican obviously does not care about feeding children healthy food... :/
Ugh, lost my appetite lol, check please...lol
get me away from these crazy people.
*
Right, Democrats do not care about security, at all, not one single, solitary bit....lol
Very intelligent comment.
I am not a "Democrat", but I would say, in this case, they do not see the logic in being savagely racist drama queens,
or enormously wasteful with other people's money....
Huge difference.

Whole food groceries.☆☆☆☆☆
Little store here had a nice selection.♡
A can of pure pumpkin...?
I thought I would try it, forgot to get bananas...
would be yummy over bananas!
Just 1 ingredient: "pumpkin".
No added processed sodium or sweeteners.
Minimal plastic. :)

Lots of people all around the globe, including pro & other athletes,
changing to a healthier plant based diet. :)
*
The unhealthy, plastic packaged junk food market is also going plant based.
Junk food junkies rejoice.
Obesity rejoice.
Sickness rejoice.
Landfills rejoice.
Bittersweet...!
The only positive thing about plant based, er...laboratory based, junk food, is that it does not use tortured animals.
In the food at least.
The adhesives & glues used to hold all the packaging materials together, which processed foods are sold in, might be made from animals,
I can look into that later.
*
Try a salad and a piece of fruit y'all!
*
Whole food diets benefit the animals the most,
producing less litter &
it keeps our garbage out of their habitats.
Feel your best & look your best.♡♡♡
*
I will not even respond to articles that discourage plant based diets, it is a waste of time.
A plant based diet is quite obviously the better choice. :)

I am using the brown paper coffee bags,
from the coffee section,
to get bulk dates, rather than the plastic bags they have provided next to the date bin.
Cuff me! :)-
There is a thin, clear layer of synthetic lining inside the paper bags, but still, they are far more biodegradable than the plastic bags.
 I was told by the store once that reusable bags are not allowed for bulk bin items for sanitation reasons.

I agree....
Close these parks, before the ignorant masses, excuse me...misguided people...
inflict further damage.
:(
I know this sounds heartless, but honestly...
(Except for the young girl who tragically fell.)
I do not even care much about the safety of these destructive simpletons.
I shouldn't use some of these adjectives.
I really mainly care about the preservation of our parks,
& the protection of the animals.
*
Hopefully these people will change.
It wouldn't surprise me if alcoholism was a main factor in this park vandalizing..& since the US government keeps it's citizens liquored up...
(& strung out on cigarettes)
I say government is partially to blame for alcohol related crimes.
I also feel pity for these unfortunate people,
& everyone makes some mistakes.
*
Also, other people are going into these parks, & committing suicide???
Keeping people out is the better choice.
Insanity, it is a shame that some people cannot behave respectfully, & responsibly, destroying our beautiful, natural areas.
Unbelievable.
Proper parenting...is critical...
So that a child does not turn into a moronic adult, who would go into a vulnerable park,
& choose to just wreck everything.
*
Good parenting also prevents children from becoming overgrown, spoiled brats......
Maybe I am being judgmental.
I am certainly not perfect.
I am just angry at the destruction to nature!
:(
The fact is, alcohol is, absolutely, responsible for a large amount of misbehavior in people,
which causes crime.
There should not be alcohol, nor cigarettes, for sale on every street  corner in America, as there is now,
negatively affecting people's personalities (and health),
and greatly straining our society.
Get authorities, or some type of supervision, in there to prevent such damage, or, close the parks...
A neighborhood watch of sorts?
Area residents can join for solutions.
Is it time for citizens to volunteer for these government jobs?
Guns are also not making these situations any easier.
People have to worry about guns as well.
From officers, & regular civilians, does not matter who is carrying it.
Manufacturing guns, bombs, missiles, etc. should be illegal in all societies.

I could literally spend every minute of my life protesting all of the heinous things people are doing.
Psychopaths rejoice...they can hunt beautiful, sweet, harmless...female...deer.

& wanna-be bad hunting gear...
Dangerous....deer....?
Really?
A healthy person will not catch a disease from a deer.
Simply slow down & let deer cross the road.
Employ methods to humanely repel deer from crops.
Where there is a will to do good there is always a way.
*
It is shameful for a "parks and wildlife" organization to encourage the brutal killing of animals.
THANK YOU FOR NOT HUNTING ♡♡♡

To all of the people, politicians & other American citizens, who actually want a wall,
& are supporting this...
You all pay for it..... :)
Simple. 
And then you can all move to border cities,
so you can look at your cheerful, pleasant wall, all day, every day...
"Ahhh, isn't it beautiful."
Or, why isn't this, particular, administration....
self-funding...this wall that they want so badly?

Do Democrats eat healthier, perhaps that is why they declined..?

Dangerous, be careful...
Do not try to befriend these types of animals!
They are for watching & admiring, not for touching, unless you raised the animal from the time it was a baby, & the animal knows you well.
Even still, special precautions should be considered for animals like this.
She thought she was safe on the other side of the tall barrier, a logical assumption.
Get food involved, & any situation with a beastly animal will become much more treacherous.
*
Crocodiles & alligators are actually good climbers, being basically huge lizards...
who are excellent at climbing,
so they are far more agile than they look.
They can also move quickly, & suddenly,
similar to tiny lizards.
*
This is a sad wake up call for me, sometimes I get too close to gators I see in Florida.
This can happen to anyone...
Love our wonderful animals, but be careful!

Ohh, boo-hoo....
Or what, you will starve to death, if you do not have a plastic bag to put your groceries in?
Oh, the struggle.
Please disregard this senseless perspective, plastic shopping bags are nonessential to human civilization.
*
Paper bags are nowhere near as devastating to our planet, they completely decompose, very quickly.
Bring your own, reusable bags to stores, keep reusable bags handy in your vehicles, etc. so you will not need paper bags as much.

Oooo, okay, let's listen to these experts.
Like listing credentials for a bunch of muppet characters.
Should we be listening to muppets...?
:)
Cheese is healthy LOL, just saying that in my head makes me crack up.
Cheese & dairy is seriously SO disgusting.
Our bodies do not react well to dairy products.
That is all the evidence we need.
*
Dairy is fattening, &
anything that is fattening, is not a healthy food.
*
Excess pounds are a negative symptom of consuming substances that should not be digested.
*
Obesity is only 1 of many critical health problems that are caused by dairy.
*
These people trying to spread lies to the gullible, cheese addicted masses,
& desperately scrambling to keep the immoral, polluting, & unhealthy dairy industry relevant,
are extremely crooked.

There -is- a cure for STD's.

Why is extreme obesity more prevalent in women?
I would guess, not in all cases but mostly, because of pregnancy.
Many women put on a great deal of excess weight while pregnant.
Instead of losing the weight after the baby is born, these women continue to gain even more weight.
Why?
Because they become enveloped in the terrible cycle of depression > overeating of fattening foods > weight gain > depression > overeating of fattening foods > more weight gain > depression......etc.
All starting with eating more fattening foods while pregnant.
*
Other obese women who do not have children, like myself, simply suffer from depression & junk food addiction.
I over-ate on fattening foods because I was addicted to the taste, & the brief feeling of false happiness.
*
How can women endure pregnancy in a healthy way, stay lean, & not put their unborn child at risk for developing health problems?
(Being overweight while pregnant, is extremely unhealthy for the baby.)
Very simple, by consuming non-fattening, raw/plant based, healthy foods & drinks.
*
The high fat, high protein, high carb (high nutrient) diet I recommend for all ages, is also the perfect diet for pregnant women.
*
Dairy is -not- a healthy pregnancy food, quite the opposite.
The same goes for meats/seafoods & eggs.
All people, of all ages, at any stage of life, should absolutely avoid eating animal products.
A non-fattening, plant based diet is best for everyone.

Good things usually are created from bad things.
Critical changes are needed in our obviously flawed system to ensure that a single person cannot dominate the entire United States.
A country of nearly 400 million people, at the mercy of 1 simple human being.
As well as other countries around the globe who operate in the same manner.
Isn't that a bit insane?
This is a learning experience that we must improve from.

Sorry, Beth, I disagree.
A raw, plant based diet is a natural, healthy, side-effect free vaccine, against all of the diseases listed in this article.
I believe vaccines are repulsive, profit oriented, unnatural, & very unhealthy.
One major issue is that people, including vaccine manufacturers & doctors, do not know about the preventative & healing power of raw plant foods.
*
I think pharmaceuticals & surgeries may be used sparingly in, some, emergency situations, perhaps, but overall a highly nutritious diet will prevent & cure these diseases.
Yes it is that simple.

Most canned foods are extremely unhealthy.
 I always knew canned foods were very high in processed sodium, but I honestly did not realize just how bad it was.
I was snooping through the store aisles & taking photos...in disbelief...the other day.
Over 1,000mg of processed sodium in just 1 can of veggies,
just about equivalent to 1 McDonald's Big Mac.
Veggies are supposed to be healthy, not cause obesity, diabetes, hypertension, & heart disease.
It is so important to buy fresh, whole, unprocessed, unsalted, unsweetened produce.
Salted chips are also processed sodium monsters.
Notice the difference in processed sodium levels between a bag of raw beans vs. canned beans:
*
*
*
Canned fruits lack the processed sodium, yet are high in processed sugars.
Pineapple was the only table sugar-free option.
*
*
*
*
*
*
"men and women of all ages, ethnicities, and normotensives also experience reduced CVD risk in relation to lowered sodium intake. Public health policy to reduce sodium intake in the United States would have significant cost-savings, far greater than the cost of intervention, and would also result in a significant gain in quality-adjusted life years."

So the 2nd day I was at Guadalupe Mountains National Park,
I began to see trash spilling out into the ground.
I picked it all up, & found another bin to put it in, that wasn't so full.
We, the visitors, are capable of caring for these parks, by acting responsibly, & dealing with issues ourselves.
Everyone can do their part.
It would greatly help the situation if people disposed of their trash elsewhere, & not leave any trash inside the park, since park waste management has been compromised & is unreliable.
This would be a better policy to improve the parks, even if the government was not experiencing a shutdown.

Here are my photos I took from the gorgeous Guadalupe Peak summit!
There is no feeling like that of gazing down on the world, from an incredible mountain peak which you struggled for hours to reach lol!
There were also moments when I literally was afraid I might die lol, just like when I hiked Mount Elbert & became totally, lost off the trail.
I did not reach Elbert's summit until my 4th(?) attempt.
While on Guadalupe, I actually thought to myself "well, at least the other hikers would find my body, if I did drop dead on this trail..."
Guadalupe was rough because I started my period that morning!!!
(Apologies, but necessary to explain why I felt tired lol.)
So I was feeling very weak & fatigued, but I knew that particular day was going to have perfect, full sun weather, so I made myself follow through.
The exercise actually greatly helped my cramping.
But there were a few moments when I honestly thought I was going to just pass out, or even die, on the trail, feeling extremely weak & dizzy briefly, on & off.
I just kept myself energized & nourished by eating fruits, nuts, drinking the icy snow, & getting boosts from the potent herbs I found on the trail.
Descending was a breeze, I got a burst of energy & hurried down the mountain, reaching my vehicle right as the last few rays of sunlight disappeared, so I didn't have to hike back in the dark with a flashlight like on Elbert.

A bunch of uneducated people saying a bunch of ignorant things, Lord.
Poor Melissa, has no idea how idiotic she sounds,
bashing almond milk, & promoting...dairy...?
Even trying to warn people of negative health effects from drinking store bought almond milk, without any hint to the endless list of deadly diseases that are caused by dairy.
I do not know how anyone can tout dairy with a straight face, in this day and age.
*
Almond pulp is delicious, & still packed with nutrients, lots of healthy fiber for starters,
these people are completely clueless.
I do agree however that store bought processed foods are not the best for the environment.
Homemade has the least environmental impact, using less factory operations, conserving more of the food, containing no additives or preservatives, & using less packaging.
*
Buy mostly whole foods, do eat almonds, & continue to make your own homemade, 100% almond milk. :)
Only babies actually need breastmilk, not adults, (adult cows do not even drink cow milk, cow milk is exclusively for calves) & a human baby should not be drinking cow milk.
Get well soon Melissa.

Flea, tick, heartworm, etc. pharmaceuticals
are pesticides.
Just open your pet's mouth, & spray "Raid" in there, no different!
Yes, there are negative side effects from these products.
Keeping pets bathed, & the area they live in uncluttered & clean, cleaning the floor daily or often, feeding them a clean diet/no meat based processed foods, eggs, or dairy -very germy, the less carpet the better, & washing rugs/blankets 2+ times per week, etc. will keep parasites away, without the use of harmful pesticides weakening the animal's immunity
& causing health problems later.

Free public beaches are quite sparse down in the Florida Keys.
Still, considering the masses will flood in, make a bunch of drunken noise, blast boomboxes, allow all of their hyper children to scream, & cry constantly at the top of their lungs annoying the other beachgoers, & totally trash the area, I would absolutely vote to keep the disrespectful general public out, or at least charge a very high fee to enter.
This will help protect the land, & the wildlife that lives there, keeping the Keys pretty & nice, not turn the area into an outdoor Walmart.
If humans behaved in a classier, more respectful manner towards our environment, & others, it wouldn't be such an issue, but that is generally not what happens. :/
I honestly don't like visiting Sombrero beach, because it is open to the public for free, & constantly filled with drunk, loud, obnoxious people, making the visit unpleasant, & slightly scary.
I cannot even jog on that beach without a creepy drunk guy yelling things at me.
Hmmm...if only...people didn't drink.
That would be splendid, make the world a far better place.
There is also a super irritating icecream truck that just parks & sits there, & plays it's loud jingle music over, & over, & over, & over, & over, & over, & over, & over, & over, & over, & over until you drown yourself in the ocean because you cannot take it anymore.
Ah yes, more cow milk icecream, exactly what our unsightly, morbidly obese nation, & it's obese little children, needs. :/
I go to Bahia Honda State Park, it is much better.

He better serve some lengthy & hefty community service for his crime, almost twice her size, & assaults her first.
Jail time just makes some people worse, then they are released into the public again, terrific.

Junk food causes mental instability & aggression, absolutely.

And of course, to no surprise:
"Taylor may have been under the influence of alcohol,

Taylor, referring to the man, who was arrested & charged.
Perhaps the reason why he seemed inert during the physical confrontation.
Junk food & injurious drugs is a dangerous combination. :(
Alcohol abuse causes a large majority of the world's problems.
Yet this drug is legalized, & encouraged by governments to citizens.

Cute & sad read.
Militarized border lines are a depressing reality for the world.
Nobody truly likes or wants them.
(Except racists & megalomaniacs.)
A simple, informative, undemanding line indicating where one man made "country" begins & where another ends is fine, but armed oppression of people, especially for merely walking a few steps in one direction or another, is not fine.
That is utterly ridiculous & unnecessary.
*
Nature originally created this Earth for everyone to roam free as they wish, & to treat others as their neighbor, this is the ideal for humanity.
*
A large, highly influential country (such as the US) that could find a way to manage itself without the use of dangerous, dismal, armed border patrol, would set a strong, most progressive example for the rest of the world.
"Where there is a will there is a way."
I believe armed border patrol causes more violence than it prevents.

Good...running anti-cigarette ads in Facebook Messenger.
The same should be done with alcohol.
Why is alcohol completely legalized, highly promoted, & widely endorsed by governments?
Considering the fact that alcohol reigns as one of the top deadliest drugs, which induces an endless list of...diseases.
"Migrants...bringing drugs into America."
:/
Poor Americans, just trying to be fit, healthy, & not use lethal drugs.
We never gorge or overdose on our lawful & deadly pharmaceuticals, or eat foods that cause a host of...diseases, & kill us.
We just want to follow our healthy eating traditions, & exercise regularly.
But the migrants...
& their unhealthy drugs.
They enter the USA, and open all these liquor stores you see everywhere in America (legalized deadly drug dispensaries, basically government-authorized "crack" shops, if you will), & hot dog (death dog) stands.
Influencing Americans to become completely, vomiting drunk on holidays, & weekends, snort cocaine at parties, & consume so much cholesterol that they die of a heart attack or stroke.
It is all their fault, the migrants & their bad "drugs".
*
Would, at least, raising the age limit, lowering the alcohol percentage in each bottle, & imposing a limit on the purchase amount at stores & bars, help people?
1 or 2 beers, a glass of wine, or a cocktail every blue moon to unwind, is not too damaging, the issue is alcohol abuse.
Drinking regularly, on a consistent, long term basis, alcoholism, drunkenness, the violence it causes, this is what needs to be addressed.
Alcohol related health problems begin to appear, make people suffer greatly, and/or even die.
This also causes much grief for the families & friends who care about these people.
Drinking every day is unhealthy, even if it is just 1 drink, it is a myth that moderate, regular drinking is healthy.
Smoothies are a health drink, a glass of poison is not.
A constant intake of alcohol is not good for people.
Better to find healthier ways to cope with stress.

How much food, educational/skill development programs funding, & shelter construction would 5 billion dollars (and more) buy...to help eradicate severe poverty like this?
Put money where it is truly needed rather than squander  it.
National "leaders" all over the globe, with the conditioned acceptance of the people, are basking in gaudy luxury, having plenty of available money to apply to improving their poverty tribulations, while some of their nation's citizens live like this....wrong.
There is no lack of unbelievably impoverished areas right here in the United States.

I would bet the majority of the people living in "tent cities" abuse alcohol, and cigarettes.
*
This is what degenerative, legalized drugs do to people, such as alcohol and tobacco products.
These lawful, & highly promoted, deadly drugs cause diseases & mental issues, low self esteem, & create a severe sense of avolition in people.
*
A lot of them probably abuse other deadly, "illegal" street drugs as well.
If the government would group alcohol & tobacco products in the same category as heroin and cocaine, as they should be, and make it illegal to produce, sell, or buy them, I believe people would use less, and be much better off.
*
Some of these people also have no family members or close friends.
*
Self esteem, confidence, & mental health are what is needed, to help most of these people.
How can this be achieved?
By eliminating things that cause low self esteem, insecurity, & insanity.
Drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco products makes people feel squalid, which lowers self esteem, & decreases motivation.
These drugs also severely deform the body, skin wrinkling most noticeably, which greatly contributes to depression.
Animal agriculture/unhealthy foods that cause health problems, harmful drugs, & classism are major contributors to this issue.
*
A lot of these people were raised under physical abuse.
What causes physical abuse?
Alcohol mostly....
*
A public boycott of unhealthy products that deteriorate our societies, would be an incentive for the government to make positive, legislative changes.
*
However, it isn't so easy.
Are people really going to stop drinking, & smoking cigarettes/cigars?
Reportedly, alcoholism is increasing...while tobacco product use is decreasing.
Why?
 Are more people actually concerned about the health effects of tobacco products, or are people smoking less because of the increase in smoking bans in public areas?
 Billboards for alcoholic drinks can be seen all over most major cities, while billboards for cigarettes have essentially vanished....
*
  Commercials are being played discouraging people from smoking cigarettes....we do not see the same being done with alcoholic beverages.
 In fact quite the opposite, commercials are being played which encourage people to drink.
*
 Do all of these things explain the increase in alcoholism, versus the decrease in tobacco product use?
Perhaps, and if so, that is proof, that government intervention can influence people to make healthier choices, like quitting smoking.
 Imagine if the government put the same amount of effort into discouraging people from drinking...
*
 It is a game of "You first"
 Would it take a government outlaw of alcohol and tobacco products, to make people stop abusing them?
 Or would it take a boycott by the people to make the government stop endorsing these products?

Public criticism over featuring an extensively lavish room filled with highly expensive items, particularly the incredible piano, while delivering her annual Christmas message.

People have no control over the life they were born in.
I am guessing she has few complaints... :) 
Although, people can, usually, control what they tolerate....

It is not entirely her fault that some people have no shelter to live under, & very little food to eat.
(In response to people's comments I read about the story, pointing out the misfortune of so many.) 
*
People are also responsible for themselves...
Excluding those with special mental situations, who are not in control of their own minds, literally at the mercy of their caregivers, & the government.
*
Still, I will never be an advocate for superfluous materialism.
*
If I was "in charge" of a nation/s, and was well aware that some people, & many children, in "my" nation were basically living like insects & going to bed hungry....this would be quite disturbing & embarrassing to me, and I could not justify prancing around in expensive clothes, huge jewels, luxury cars, or living in a palace.
Personally.
Referring also to the American presidency, the exorbitant designer attire of the First Ladies, & the White House as well.
The USA's version of royalty.
*
I believe a simple, minimalistic way of life is the most benevolent, & the most beneficial.
*
Healthy food, comfortable shelter, clean water, clean air, some kind of clothing lol...warm clothes if you live in a cold climate...things of that nature...are at the top of my priority list.
*
I literally could not care any...less about expensive clothes, shoes, handbags, fast cars, mansions, yachts, or anything else of the kind.
(Snore...what else you got, anything interesting..lol?)
Personally, -nothing- impresses me more than the enchanting, breathtaking splendor of nature & the intrigue of biology!
That is my opinion, everyone is of course free to like what they wish.
*
I feel uncomfortable just owning all these electronic gadgets necessary to stay online & manage this website, but...until I buy some land & just live off selling tomatoes or something lol, this is my situation.
I don't buy the MOST expensive products, but I need to be able to function efficiently, so,  I do not buy the cheapest either.
*
She should try camping! ;)-
Ahhh...sleeping outdoors, in the fresh air, with the insects biting you, & wild animals, hovering in your tent in the pouring rain....lol, the perfect way to stay nice...and...humble. ;)
Makes you appreciate every genuine blessing that you have, even if it isn't a gilded grand piano.
That's okay, I think I'll live. ;)

I loudly and gratefully applaud anyone who switches to a plant based diet.
If any man does not want to go to the gym to lift weights, that is completely fine. :)
However, let us certainly not suggest that doing so (going to the gym & lifting weights)...is in any way a negative thing.
I also loudly and gratefully applaud those vegan men who do put in the time & work to look amazing, and provide the crucial scientific proof to the world that huge, strong muscles can indeed be obtained by eating fruits and vegetables, not from meats, tons of eggs, or gallons of cow milk.
:)
It absolutely is not faulty for men to build large muscles.
(I strongly support it lol!)
Please....carry on...lol.
*
I am sure vegan runners could jog circles around a lot of men who eat animal products.
Cardio endurance is also very important, running is a wonderful way to maintain it.
*
Lifting, when done correctly, is a very healthy hobby/career to have, much better than the way some other people are spending their time.
*
Running is a terrific endurance exercise.
I believe men should do both...run and lift.
Running gets the blood pumping hard, improves blood/oxygen/nutrient circulation, this will help muscles grow, if combined with large amounts of healthy food & high intensity strength training.
Building strong leg muscles can improve running ability.
Keep hitting that weight & get your jogging in guys!

Austin is BOOMING, getting more and more crowded!
Aaahhhh!
The traffic here, is already a nightmare.
Well I suppose these things must be built somewhere...
I only go to large cities to visit with people who live there...family & friends.
Otherwise I prefer to be in a quiet, scenic, rural area.
I always feel obligated to hang around Austin & Houston to be with family for holidays, even though I wish I was somewhere else....lol.
Honestly, I just cannot stand big city traffic, the noise & air pollution, & tall buildings everywhere covering up the view of the sky.
I feel so suffocated & claustrophobic.
Austin needs a border wall...lol.
Apple will fund it!
Looks like they are doing well...
I recently was shmoozed into buying an iPad, very smooth talking salesman at Verizon lol.
My current cell phone is Samsung.
I have no preference really, as of yet.

Smiling faces...:)
Not faces filled with sadness & horror.... :( >:(
*
Happy, excited people, celebrating their restored freedom of movement with the reunification of Germany, during the fall of the Berlin-Wall.
*
Border walls are a symbol of oppression & hatred.
Border walls create hostility.
Protect & inspire liberty & peace, not segregation....
"this brutal division of a continent"
"forced to look upon a scar"

is now selling a new meatless burger...
Popularized in India, now launching in the US.
Add lettuce...!
No mayo...no cheese.
Ask them to put this patty in a flat wrap, instead of a bun, to make it less fattening..
I know these will be appearing more throughout the US.
I emailed corporate requesting an exact ingredients list, I could not find it on the website.
Try not to eat these all day, every day!
Still loaded with table salt...
Bleached wheat flour buns, very fattening.
However, still a far healthier choice than a beef & bacon cheeseburger.
Have some salads with your veggie burgers..! :)

Nice park I visited today.
Beautiful fish illustrated here.
People should leave fish alone, & let them stay in the water, where they want to be.
Eating fish is not healthy!
Fishing also inflicts suffering on the fish.
They are not squirming like crazy when caught on a hook because they are happy & excited...
Catch and release is also cruel...this severely injures the fish, before it is put back into the water, left with a bloody hole in it's face.
Sometimes this prevents them from being able to eat properly, and causes death.
Fishing also greatly pollutes the planet.
The plastic fishing line & fishing gear leaves litter all over parks & beaches.
Thank you for not fishing.♡♡♡

Please dispose of garbage responsibly.
People are too lazy to walk a few steps to the other garbage can area,
so they leave trash laying all around the cans,
so it can blow into the woods..... >:(
Who cares right...? Not your problem?
Bye-bye trash...
This is everyone's problem, & the animals.
I propose a new trash mandate:
A person must keep all of their garbage in their backyard, or on their patio. :)
Great way to make people realize how trashy they are,
& hopefully encourage people to make an effort to decrease their waste production.
Humans just suck, seriously.
Very depressing sight. :/
I no longer buy garbage bags, nonessential plastic waste.
Just walk trash directly outside to the bins.

Thank you for not smoking tobacco products.♡
I used to smoke cigarettes, off & on, when I was a teenager, & through my early twenties.
You just have to say "no more" & quit!
I didn't want my clothes & hair to smell bad, & I knew it was not very healthy.
Smoking tobacco products needs to be entirely banned.
This unhealthy habit not only kills users, it also kills non-users who are consistently exposed to the cancerous smoke.
Second hand smoke is also deadly.
Please do not smoke around children.
Almost 50,000 second hand smoke deaths occur annually.  
"approximately 7,330 deaths from lung cancer and 33,950 deaths from heart disease each year."

A large percentage of global litter pollution is produced by tobacco products.
There are innumerable benefits, personal and economical, from not using these products.
Post-consumption waste:

"Cigarette butts are the most commonly discarded piece of waste globally...

the most frequent item of litter picked up on beaches and water edges worldwide....

non-biodegradable...

trillions discarded annually...

waste...annually..about 175, 200 tonnes."

(1 metric tonne is around 2,200 pounds)

These filters also harm & kill animals who mistake them for food.

These are easy products to avoid, which in doing so vastly benefits everyone, & our world.

"Whole food", mostly unpackaged groceries, nothing processed...♡
*
I decided unpackaged "non-organic" foods are better than "organic" foods wrapped in plastic, or in a plastic mesh bag, on some level!
Ironically, & unfortunately, a lot of organic produce is packaged in plastic, which is equally bad for the environment. :/
If the organic version is unwrapped, that is ideal!
*
Very minimal plastic, & no hard plastics....
I stopped using those thin plastic bags that come in rolls, located next to the produce bins.
I just pile everything into a reusable bag.
*
I usually buy organic raisins if available, I forgot to check if these have a preservative before I bought them, they do :( sulfur dioxide.
Plain dried fruits are healthier.
*
All of this for under $24.00:
Organic red & yellow pears, organic red & yellow apples, potatoes, organic bananas, organic kale, 2 kinds of organic/heirloom tomatoes (bought them for the seeds), lemons, limes, peanuts (dogs love them), & avocados.
*
I am going to experiment with raw potatoes!
I got lots of different kinds of potatoes including sweet potatoes. :)

What an ignorant, destructive meme....
I don't understand this.
Almost just as bad as someone who refuses to stop eating meat....junk food vegans, who refuse to eat healthy, & trash the planet with all their packaged processed food litter,
which destroys the habitats of animals, btw.
*
"Vegan for the animals."? Really...?
The absolute best thing a person can do for animals, is go whole food vegan.
Buying less packaged foods, & more whole foods, that do not come in plastics, which litter the planet, put animals at risk, & enlarge landfills.
*
Promoting obesity & illness is wrong, & that is basically what "junk food vegans" are doing.
"Vegan" cinnamon rolls, & fried foods, are still fattening.
Excess weight causes many health problems.
How can anyone be proud of eating unhealthy, or boast about feeding unhealthy foods to their children?
How can anyone not care about their health?
Honestly, a bunch of out of shape, overweight, careless people is not a good example for the world to follow, & also appears pretty ridiculous trying to protest anything.
*
Just venting, because this unhealthy propaganda & ideology crazy....
Seriously, get a grip, salad & fruit will not kill anyone, junk food vegans act like healthy, raw food is poisonous, it is insane.
*
I saw a video on YouTube years ago, a mother proudly filming her little boy eating "vegan" food.
Everything he ate in a day.
The little boy was obese.
After noticing what he was eating, I could see why he was obese.
All his meals were fattening...sandwiches & pasta, mostly processed foods, & doughy foods.
 
*
The true spirit, & effect, of veganism, is healthy people, safe animals, & a cleaner planet.
Fattening, packaged, vegan junk food is counterintuitive to the real meaning of veganism.
*
Only a small percentage of people's groceries should be packaged, rather than 100% packaged groceries.
Foods like dates, seeds, nuts, etc. are more difficult to find & buy unpackaged.
But we should be buying whole(healthy), unpackaged foods, as much as we can.
*
The icecream is the least harmful thing in this photo, it comes in a paper container, & coconut, almond, or soy based icecream is not nearly as fattening as doughy foods, or fried batter foods.
Better to pick icecream flavors that contain nuts & whole fruits, less chunks of doughy foods like brownies.
Rather than raise the bar just slightly, let's raise the bar as high as it will go!

I do not have any such deficiency symptoms.
I changed my diet in October 2011.
A great deal of fact checking to be done on this article.
