| How many other species have been used for milk production. Sure, cattle are one. What else? Goats, sheep, llamas, yaks, and camels. That's a very good start. There's at least two more, though. Edit: Out of curiosity, I did a search on the Internet and found a list of ten and that list doesn't inclu... |

| I was a vegetarian from ages 15-24. I will probably become one again or a vegan at some point in the future, perhaps when my son is older. I was a vegetarian for two years about 1990 or so because of a medical condition. After two years, I was able to start eating meat again, slowly at first, and t... |

Tell that to your cats.
Seriously, though, how many other species have been used for milk production. Sure, cattle are one. What else? |

True, to an extent, but their numbers would decline drastically. |

Punishing his son?
The son and the son's wife exiled themselves. They are responsible for their situation. |

| By the way, some people like to mail a picture postcard to themselves while on vacation with the picture being a landmark where they went. To top it off, one Saturday night in the late 1970s, some friends of mine were at a bar in a city about 100 miles from home. When the bar closed, they didn't fee... |

| I take pictures and print them on appropriately sized glossy photo paper...and then mail them as postcards. Um...often the photos are not the normal tourist kind of thing. That sounds like a great idea. The next time I find a rattlesnake on the road, I'll try to take a picture or two before I chase... |

| I got to thinking the other day about Picture Post Cards and how long it has been since I have seen them. Many here have probably never even seen one. Basically they were a car with a picture on one side (sometimes a joke, sometimes something scenic, ... ) and a place on the other for the address an... |

| No-one doubts the sincerity of Harry’s anxiety, especially given the manner of his mother’s death. Few would envy him a life constantly punctuated by photographers jumping out of bushes and following him in cars. He has said that he suffers symptoms akin to PTSD when confronted by camera flashes. I... |

| I thought they lived in Santa Barbara ? dunno. In the OP it says the stalker was at their home in Montecito in Santa Barbara. They were in New York City for some event. The word is that they were too cheap to stay at the Carlyle (sp?) and the Carlyle refused to give them a special discount. So they... |

| I'll take the dreamless deep sleep... Was it as deep as taking a break from this reality? Timeless, spaceless, and weightess? Not like, say, closing one's eyes for several hours. Or just that there is sleep but there's still some time passage, still occupying space with heavier gravity... If it's t... |

| I don't like them either, but I'm kind of stuck with them. Out on the farm, the cell service is very weak. If I want to talk to someone I have to go outside. A land-line might be okay, but our phone company there is a small phone company that just covers a handful of counties and they suck big time.... |

| In general, I have lots and lots of dreams and often wake up coming out of a dream. The dreams are nearly always quite pleasant so I wake up in a good mood. Occasionally, I will hardly dream at all, if at all, and can sleep for hours. When I wake up from this, it is extremely disconcerting. It almos... |

| I have a number of e-mail addresses. There is a good reason why just about everyone should have multiple addresses -- to reduce the chance of falling for a scam. I have a secret e-mail address that is only used for e-mails to and from financial institutions. If I should get an e-mail to a normal add... |

| Wind River It's about murders on the Wind River Indian reservation in Wyoming. One thing that they screwed up on, but most would probably never recognize it as a screwup at all, was when the medical examiner didn't have a clue what the word "homicide" means. To a medical examiner, "ho... |
