“But by cutting your expenses tremendously, you’ll be able to pay off your loans quicker and just do good deeds….or maybe send more money to Japan or other places. You jump on other people too quick for their morals but you’re not willing to put in 100% yourself first.â€
I get two paychecks a month and put one towards my loans. I volunteer when I feel like it and spent two years in a village in Africa. Not that any of that has much to do with this discussion. All I’m trying to do is point out that people benefiting off of the bad fortune of others is just not a positive force in the world and so maybe, if we can’t stop it, it’s better to be more sensitive about it when it happens.
Biff, I should add that I downloaded Born This Way to my iPod, and, when I did, I discovered a couple of more songs by Lady Gaga that I like. I mean, I knew I liked the songs, just not that they were hers. But, I can’t remember singers or song names — give me movie or TV lines any day.
Because I’d like to pay off my student loan debt and acquire useful skills first. Also, fwiw, and not that it was intentional, but most of the clients here aren’t corporations.

Sometimes I’m in the mood for some fruity yogurt, and Mrs. D sometimes makes her own smoothies. She usually buys these giant containers of plain yogurt.
The other day I was in a store and noticed they had big sizes of strawberry yogurt. I picked one up (not organic) and the expiration date was close. Then I saw this organic container for a buck more.
Here are the ingredients in organic strawberry yogurt:
Organic Low-Fat Milk (OK)
Naturally milled organic sugar (IOW, white sugar)
Organic Strawberry Juice from concentrate (WTF)
Organic Natural Vanilla Flavor (whatever)
Organic Beet Juice Concentrate (IOW, red dye)
Pectin (would you put this in if you made it?)
Cultures (ok)
So the bottom line is in spite of all the pretty pictures of strawberries on the label, there isn’t ONE goddam strawberry in it. And it’s full of stuff that you won’t find in anyone’s kitchen.

I will sell out any of my principles for drinks. You name the principle, it’s for sale.

Btw, the video I posted was my response to the discussion yesterday about whether or not people “choose” to be gay.
Biff, I didn’t see that video, but Born This Way is a great song.

99% of organic food is bullshit.
“You just sold your principles that you were banging on about for a few drinks.â€
So does that mean you won’t buy me a whiskey?
