Meatless: confessions of a vegetarian
It's ten thirty and I'm not in the shower. I'm not looking for eyeshadow the color of Dorothy's shoes. I'm not rifling through the blood-stained lingerie drawer for something to wear to MEAT. It's ten thirty and I have to admit to myself that I'm not going to MEAT. I'm not going anywhere. I haven't been anywhere all day

I've always wondered what the fuck is up with doctors telling me I'm sick just to get attention! Like hello! Going out getting drunk and shaking my tits for attention, fun (at least until the next morning). Staying home feeling like ass, not fun! I am so over it.

I hope that you make a point of never making another appointment with a doctor who tells who that you're sick just to get attention. That's an astonishingly lousy thing to say to a patient.
I suppose I'm luck in that all I have (probably) is your garden variety cold and all I have to do to make it better is to take my Sudafed, drink liquids, and not do anything too stupid (like, um, stay out all night at MEAT). Being sick sucks. Here's hoping that we all get better.

I'm I think coming down with the same cold. I'm particularly annoy as the person who sits next to me is always coming in sick. Which for the last month and a half caused me to get sick (septra lowers your white blood cell count which is bad if there's some one coughing at you all day!)
so she came in sick monday, and then tuesday she was certain she was sick but had to come to work (she does our payroll) but if I'd know I could have stayed home.
damn it. I'm still hanging on by a thread. but...sigh.
pass the feckin juice.

I am afraid of The Cough. The Cough can go on for months. You will go see a doctor if it doesn't start getting better soon, right? Do as I say, emmiething, not as I do.

antibiotics are almost certainly needed after a month. Aren't you hacking up blood by now?
The upside is I had that cold a month ago, and normally I would have needed to start antibiotics, but luckily I'm already taking them, so the cough portion resolve quietly and quickly.
The next week though my sick coworker gave me the flu. Uh thanks. It's a trend and I'm starting to get pissy about it.

Meatless again, for the real reason.

Health? Moral objections? Political objections? Share with the class. I've spent a lot of time thinking about the politics of food lately, but I think it may just be because San Francisco's two favorite passtimes are eating and complaining about politics.

I'm veg for all the above. It's much healthier (I really never ingest fat, for starters), I'm morally opposed to Murder (and cannot see how eating meat is any different), political? Well, I don't know many conservative vegetarians, but I don't think they relate.
For further research feel free to keep prodding me, or check out Fast Food Nation, Diary of a small planet, Supersize Me, any documentary focused on meat production, etc.
ok, I figured out political - it's better for the planet if we were all veggies (less animals, less animal waste, which is a real problem, not to mention the methane gas), and no one would go hungry (it takes far less resources to produce veggies). I'm just all about saving the planet and solving world hunger. Slap a Berkeley Liberal sticker on me, I'm done!

it is possible to eat healthier while being a vegetarian, but a vegetarian diet is not healthier per se than one that includes meat. Cheese and dairy, for example, contain plenty of fat - please excuse me while I get all misty-eyed over cheese, cheese, how I love you ( ... )

How do I make it go bye bye?

I don't know. I only feel worse today. I fear that this is going to be one of those illnesses that drags on for months. My family, of course, recommends oceans of tea. I am beginning to suspect that there are some things that cannot be mended with tea alone.
