  The Salt Threat

  .. you may be aware of recent media coverage on 'the salt threat'* where the fda is trying to regulate the food packaging industries use of salt in the products.. if they go forward with it what would stop them from trying to regulate the salt content in usda meat since it's common knowledge that blood contains salt and if the production line is slowed down allowing for a better quality of bleed in the carcass reducing the amount salt or blood in the meat.. * http://abcnews.go.com/gma/oncall/story?id=3929972&page=1 .

  when i first came to this board, i was mesmerized at the knowledge.

  people had ideas and thoughts and voiced them and did it quite well.. i was a witness, i hardly read more than a paragraph at a time.....stopped, answered a planned out question in the paragraph, highlighted and went on.. formulating my own thoughts was one thing, but getting them typed out was another.. i saw all sorts of opionions thrown out there, debates, bantering back and forth........i was impressed to say the least and yes, intimidated.. them there posters had some balls and i wanted some too.. i was careful not to post things too controversial as to not make waves........i got my feelings hurt alot, said i was never going to post again, went stomping off.

  licked my wounds did some soul searching and came back.

  Man I have missed out on everything!

  Oh, and a disclaimer here. If I have been insensitive to anyone or unkind, please forgive me, I had a lousy childhood

  my partner and i celebrate our 20th anniversary today!.

  hmm...a successful relationship outside of the the troof...who would've thought it possible.... anyways - 20 years without a raised voice, a fight, a heated argument; 20 years of mutual respect, even when not in agreement, and getting along; 20 years of love and kindness, and mutual support.. who would've thought a jw and a mormon could both recover and prosper...!.

  any ideas why?.

  princeton, nj -- republicans are significantly more likely than democrats or independents to rate their mental health as excellent, according to data from the last four november gallup health and healthcare polls.

  I hope you're not voting JG. To me it's a "real world" problem. I take it very seriously, and try to educate myself. Knowledge can change my views.

  I will have to listen to all these tomorrow. This is a VERY dangerous thread for me. I spent over an hour here earlier just pulling up and listening to great stuff on Youtube. One thing led to another.

  Oh just to say, I was only looking for a sample of the piece, not up on the best versions.

  "O mio Babbino Caro" Hehe the first time I heard this, was when my 19 yr old son made me listen to it on Grand Theft Auto III. I love that kid.

  La Boheme is my favorite opera (so far) I do love opera. I was very fortunate that my Honey Bunny took me to see the San Francisco Opera do that one. Sigh........My favorite piece http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpxXlhTP8os the final notes never fail to make me cry.

  Oh heck, now you've got me going.

  Loved Sense and Sensibility! Have you seen the A&E Pride and Predjudice with Colin Firth?????

  Midsummer Nights Dream from about 8 years ago. It's the music that makes it.
