Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything
wise in this world.

This is all getting beyond a joke, you all need to take a good look at
yourselves, this kind of behaviour towards a fellow human being is
shameful. I wouldn't treat a dog in this manner.

No you wouldn't treat a dog that way, but you and Julie treat Susan that way
every chance you get, and I never see a word from you about the FOAD that
Julie is throwing around all the time. Preacher, take a good look at
yourself before taking others to task.

Susan is not a saint and never will be. She makes unprovoked attacks at
every opportunity and she gets back what she gives out. You do know the
difference between people tit for tatting with Susan and the behaviour
of many shown towards Julie.

NONE of us are saints, neither Susan nor Julie or you or I. There is
no mistaking the term FOAD. It means **** off and die. Not nice by
any means!

I hope this nasty stuff gets settled soon!

Peace!

AFAIK, Ozgirl has never said anything unkind to me. However there are quite
a few dogpilers in here who are doing it now. Including those who say they
don't. One makes bad comments about my canned chicken or canned broth and
then complains that *I* say something is disgusting? Complains about *my*
buying prepared foods and then posts on how to reuse rotisserie chicken? I
don't get it. I really don't.

And still the question remains. Which post was it that was supposed to have
been of interest to me? I have asked this repeatedly now and that is how
this all started. And yet nobody can take the time to answer.

For your information, a rotisserie chicken is a FRESH chicken, cooked
in the store, THAT DAY as opposed to being cooked in my house.

On the other hand, canned broth may have been made a year ago. We
have no way of knowing how old it is, not to mention the very fact of
it being canned isn't really good for you. Cans are lined with
plastic containing carcinogens.

In spite of that, I occasionally will use canned broth when I am in a
hurry too. Fresh is always better than prepared foods. A FRESH
chicken (no matter where it is cooked) is not the same thing as
something in a can or a box meant to last for months on end.

I just wrote about that on the other thread. I believe it was the use of
pureed meat and vegetables like ozgirls's friend even if you are supposed
to be past that stage. If it works to eat soupy pureed meat adn veggie
soup, try it.

Less strain on your digestive system.

I am very thankful that I have never encountered such people in my real
life. But I wonder... Do they walk about talking to others like this? I
hope not.

As for me... If someone did in real life talk to me or about me so that I
could hear it, I most likely would tell them to FOAD, or something similar
but a bit toned down if there were children present. I'm nobody's doormat.

Please stop trying to push your low carb food on me!!! Damnit, I don't like
anything, never have liked anything, and never will like anything! It's all
disgusting and it makes me gag. ;-)

Come on Evelyn, two things here. One, the subject line is very
inflammatory and two, why are you psychoanalysing another person?

Thank you. I collect wisdom quotes like this. I find that Ramana
Maharshi has left a treasure trove of them.
