somnolence Well, it's not exactly like regular ice cream. It's richer and kind of chewy, more like gelato than ice cream. I do really like it.

somnolence Oh yes! I forgot about alcohol. I can't have that either, though I pretty much had to give it up a long time ago due to GERD (acid reflux). It's been hard for me to give up dairy and beans the most because I used to eat beans and rice with cheese several times...

The right to die

somnolence @somnolence (460) • United States 21 Feb 07

If someone takes a passive course to die, such as refusing to eat, or refusing lifesaving medical treatment, should they be considered suicidal and have their rights to make medical decisions taken away? Does it make a difference...

somnolence Hmm. What if a person with a mental illness is just tired of trying? What if they have tried every drug and therapy they could and nothing ever got any better for years on end? Why should someone with physical pain be allowed to end thier pain, but not someone...

Would this bother you?

somnolence @somnolence (460) • United States 12 Feb 07

Would it bother you if you were divorced and shared custody and your ex was moving in a with someone he met only six months ago? Would you want to meet the person before your child lived with them?

somnolence I don't think I'd have the energy to do full custody. I have to have alot of outside help from my parents as it is. My ex and I have several mutual friends still, so I talk to them and they think she is a good person. My daughter only met her once for a...

somnolence You're taking more of a risk by buying a hard copy of a book because they cost more and it still may not have the info you want. I'd rather spend 2-3$ on an e-book that turns out to not have what I need than 15-30$ on a hard copy.

PepperJane @PepperJane (50) • United States 7 Feb 07

somnolence I think you are right, but if they had drawn the out-side view of the female organs it would be the same. It would also be different if they had dawn the internal organs of the male. That age for kids is so akward as it is. I would have been mortified to have...
