sapphirain I love to read also, but I mostly read sci-fi/fantasy. Now, don't discount this. Most of the authors do research before they write. And you can learn things from them! For instance, Issac Asimov had a PhD and he wrote about what he knew. Same for Robert...

sapphirain If a company discriminates against a diabetic, there IS something you can do. Report it to the ADA (America Diabetic Assoc), THEY will take them to court! Just because we have a problem that requires constant monitoring, does NOT mean we should be "pushed...

kitchenwitchoftupper @kitchenwitchoftupper (2290) • United States 14 Apr 07

Poetry.com is one of the most vicious sites that I can think of. Not vicious in the sense that it is going to cause escalation of crime. Not vicious in the sense that it will lead to racism or hate wars. Not vicious in the sense...

sapphirain Yes, sobitol and manitol have laxative effects in big doses. Of course, unless you read about them, there's nothing on a package to tell you about that effect. Oh, I know about that! When the sugar is gone, they add other stuff...and the calories are higher...
