Same here on the resistance to pain meds. I had a such a terrible experience with surgery. Once I woke up I was in such agony but I was also tripping hard from the dilaudid and left over anesthesia that I was unable to communicate effectively. Once a doctor finally listened to me many hours later, they gave me a cocktail of other stuff that finally eased the pain. I also really struggle with dental work.
As a kiwi that left for the US, things are getting a bit strange in New Zealand. So many folks are becoming openly racist vs. what I see in the states. Granted, I don't live in the south, but still... I was shocked when I went back to visit at the rhetoric being used.
No kids and will not have kids. I have nieces and nephews that I enjoy spending time with and they satisfy any desire I might have. I have an uncle and aunt that are 85 and don't look a day over 65. They never had kids and are some of the happiest and healthiest people I know.
I agree, it's improved quite a bit from over a year ago. I hope it doesn't get too big. I personally like only logging in once every two days and being able to see everything important. Less content makes it much less addictive than reddit was.
That statement is there because the company selling that milk is advertising that it is rBST free. It is illegal to make health claims for a product without proof and it can lead to large fines and forced product withdrawal. The disclaimer protects the company from any false advertising claims.
First, don't assume "your". Second, you are using the EU as a reference. What about the Middle East, Asia, Africa, or the Pacific? As someone who has traveled the world, there is junk food in every culture and most of it is garbage.
Packaged foods in different countries are exactly the same as what you can find in the US. They are all loaded up with the same stuff. But, just like anywhere else in the world, lots of people make their own food from scratch or buy healthy alternatives.
My house is heated with hot water radiators. One of the best things I ever did was install a towel holder in my bathroom that was plumbed into the hot water. In the winter, my towels are always dry and toasty.
If you look up industrial accidents with nitrogen, it isn't at all like the accounts of that execution. It takes one breath of pure nitrogen and you'll just fade out. There have been plenty of accidents where someone connected a respirator up to nitrogen and put it on, and they passed out immediately and didn't even know to take it off. If you are trying to hold your breath for as long as you can, it is very painful as the buildup of CO2 in the body is what triggers us to breathe.
If you smell almonds, you are in business.
