Kiki's B's Birthday Bash Backyard BBQ Bunny Banquet

[Kiki]

Then I congratulate you on your health and good fortune I wish we all were so blessed.

I suffer from allergies issues but I don't complain about it.
It's not bad enough for me to take daily medication.


I just avoid being outside too much at certain times of year.

I don't mind but I wouldn't go so far as to say I love it. I wouldn't put it in the category of, say, a cool breeze on a hot summer day...

I normally have no problems with blood draws (I like watching it come out too), but the one yesterday has left my elbow very stiff and tender.
I still can't bend it today.

Those two were just the first two I thought of, maybe not the best example. I’m sure a lot of stuff can be cured through diet, exercise etc. but my point was more that not everything can and medicine has saved a lot of people.

I agree that medicine can be helpful.

no. damnit don't encourage fake fixes.
another pill isn't going to fix the problem.

No it wont you are right. It seems everything I try eventually decides that the body is done with it. They need to find the source (yes @Kiki I know a lot of it stems from food, but for crying out loud MEAT?! Gotta have some protein.)

Yes, maybe for a husky, but their coats are not like that. They have hair, very similar to that of a human, and not fur. If that were not the case I wouldn't have them wear anything. But they can get cold sometimes. Teddy tries to sleep under the blankets with us some nights when it's chilly.


Rosie always runs around like that when she's excited. She's never shown any pure signs of discomfort. The clothes are lightweight and fit them right. They aren't lose or baggy, and they aren't tight anywhere.
I could be playing with Teddy all day but if I say "wanna get dressed up?" he sprints to his room. And he truly is happy when he gets dressed up. I think it makes him feel special and safe.

We (most of us) keep our dogs inside, which absolutely interferes with their ability to self-regulate temps, etc. Also, we tend to keep dogs unsuitable for the climates we live in. Unless a dog is a working animal who lives out-of-doors with the livestock, or perhaps sleeps in an unheated barn, etc., I don't see any harm in playing dress-up with the dear little creatures.

They're our pets. They live in our houses and some of them actually do need sweaters on cold days—tiny little things, shaved or short-hairs, hundreds or thousands of miles perhaps, from the climates they were bred in. We've altered them from their feral state and made them into beloved companions. Maybe we've made them that little bit more human. We (if we're good friends to them) have certainly taught them to love.

I wanted to say though, how impressed I am that you've started your own business making dog clothes. Good for you! Very well done! It's a great market niche and you could (if you love it) make that into a lifetime business if capitalism survives. I'm very proud of you!

If I could sew i wouldn't have spent too much money on these way over priced things that I can't return.

Sewing masks ain't hard.

Sewing masks ain't hard.

Ha.
You are talking to a sewing machine retard here you know.
I gave up trying to figure out how to work it.

All I am saying is that nine times out of ten what you eat or don't eat will make a difference.

I am just saying that people, in general, would rather take a pill/bandaid than deal with the cause.

What's sad is when you overhear 2 people practically arguing that they have more ailments and take more medication than the other. Like they're proud of it lol. Pretty miserable to me

YES!

 

[gointothebirdsfarm]

actually YES if they can otherwise control/cure their illness through diet, exercise, and weight loss!!! the “old school” cure for type 2 diabetes and HBP is 20% weight loss, nutritional counseling for prescription diet modification and 30 minutes exercise 3-5 days per week!!! it cured my grandmothers type 2 diabetes and could cure mr muddy’s HBP......i’ve also witnessed several on my weight loss group that have gotten off meds through these methods!!! i personally cured my IBS and migraines through lifestyle changes (#1 change was DIVORCE )

That is very true. Stress can really affect IBS...my friend had it, and once she got out of her home situation she can now eat anything she wants.
