I am a bit nervous about a BC option.

carrie78 @carrie78 (19) • United States 29 Jul 08

I was recently told to consider the option of the shot instead of the NuvaRing for some health and comfort related concerns. This does scare me a little because I am also diabetic and suffer from severe anxiety and depression. Can...

ChristyMA It's important to remember that any kind of pharmaceutical (sp) birth control pill is messing with mother nature. Even when you're on the ring (I am) and you have your period it's not a real period. It was built in by birth control designers to put our mind at...

Why is it that when you're a vegan, people relate everything to your diet?

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 29 Apr 07

Do you ever notice that? Oh, you have a cold? Maybe if you ate meat... Oh, your ears keep getting infected piercings? Maybe you need more vitamins, afterall, you are a vegan... What? You're blind in one eye? Now maybe if...

ChristyMA I actually had someone tell me that newborns could starve if they were nursed by vegan mothers. Are you kidding me!? I figure it's probably REALLY difficult to get enough calories to nurse if you're vegan, but starving a newborn...that's just ridiculous.

All You Can Eat Vegan Food

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 6 Sep 08

I love the whole "all you can eat" idea, but when you're vegan and go to a buffet, typically you are disappointed. It becomes more of a "all you can't eat" dinner and is a huge disappointment. But recently, a restaurant near...

ChristyMA There is something similar in my area that is put on by a local vegan cooking school. I've been wanting to try it. You totally just reminded me. I think it's a great idea, and they serve food other than salad. Don't get me wrong...I like my salad, but vegan...

Vegan Meal Planning

ChristyMA @ChristyMA (10) • United States 9 Sep 08

Does anyone have any good ideas for how to plan my vegan diet better. I'm super busy, and I want to be able to do a good bit of cooking on the weekend to get me through the week. So far I've taken to cutting up a bunch of salad...

ChristyMA Coopstar, I totally respect not wantint to put your child on drugs, but it may be needed. One alternative treatment my brother's girlfriend uses for her son deals with diet. She basically removed processed foods rom his diet that contained food dyes, and...

Iraq War

AliBabuh @AliBabuh (25) • United States 9 Nov 07

Hi I'm thinking about joining the Navy. I just wanted to put this out there, and see what people respond: Americans are killing and dying in Iraq for oil. Please discuss, and agree or disagree.

ChristyMA Having served in the military I think I agree and disagree with you. I was in the Navy for six years, 4.5 of which I spent on an air craft carrier. I don't think you get to check your politics at the door when you're in the military. Nor do I think you end up...

iamnes @iamnes (324) • Philippines 19 Jun 08

i am fond of eating doughnuts since i was a kid. i always ask my father to bring me to the doughnut store after school and sometimes i would ask him to bring me some when he gets home after work. how about you, do you also...

ChristyMA Strangely enough I'm very rarely in the mood for doughnuts. I like the glazed ones every now and then, but I almost never eat them. I wouldn't say I don't LIKE them, I just don't like them THAT MUCH.

Do You generally Cook Quick Meals? or do you follow Long compicated Recipes?

momalisa65 @momalisa65 (1971) • United States 18 Jun 08

I usually cook meals that are quick. Or I will cook a whole chicken on my day off and then cut it up so it's ready for other quick meals the next few days of the week. I don't really get out a cookbook and follow a long...

ChristyMA Every once in a while I'll cook something complicated, but I'm really addicted to one pot meals. I love things like beans and rice, or hoppin' john, or a great big pot of spaghetti. Then we eat on the leftovers for a few days. There are only two people in my...
