No the Russians who started the invasion of Ukraine and who cannot be trusted.

Yes, I agree with your post and although I'm not an avid follower of the Mediterranean diet, I do include a lot of EV Olive oil in my diet, along with balsamic vinegar and raw vegetables (mainly raw broccoli) however I am far too fond of pizzas to give them up completely, although in fairness I do have the thin crust, wholemeal ones and on those I use onions, tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts and anchovies amongst other things. And just so that I get my fair share of anthocyanins, half a bottle of red wine to help it go down! PS. I do try other diets/recipes and a lot of my recipes include pomodoro in one form or another, so I do get more than my fair share of lycopene!

I do recall that the "Atkins diet" was all the rage a few years back, and although I didn't go on it myself, a friend did and when I enquired as to how it was going, he said he had lost weight but was fed up with eating so much meat, a lot of it?? How different is that to modern day diets, and especially the one that is being discussed here?

A few decades ago, or should I say many decades ago, the big "thing" was about giving up items rich in dairy fat (as well as other fats), and that included milk, so I gave that up and used low fat milk, and have used it ever since, and now whenever anybody makes me a cup of tea with the "normal/full fat" milk, it tastes too creamy for me – – so I've stuck with the low-fat stuff and it suits my tastes now.

Brand is named, "Foremost", in blue small or larger cartons. UHT milk don't forget.

Twas but a joke!

This isn't a surprise as NZ has been unable to get rid of rabbits and possums for as long as I can recall, despite so-called "eradication programmes" being in place for yonks!

I only by the UHT milk in small cartons, and in Big C they have both the 0% fat and the 2% fat versions. Take your pick.

The problem is that they float when you put them in your cup of tea!!

I feel sorry for you as you seem unable to understand that what Clarence Thomas has done is totally unethical and compromises his position; but then again you might just be a MAGA nut, a shill, or someone who just doesn't understand the simple aspects of ethics.

So, what we seem to have, according to you, is a safe method of generating electricity, which may well be the case, however that doesn't take into consideration the dangers to the miners and those who die from cancer is alarming, in fact..... "They reported that a miners' life expectancy was twenty years after entering the mine, and about 75 percent of the miners died of lung cancer". Not a good look for the miners, and also of course there's the problem with the tailings which destroy surrounding wildlife and pollute rivers, along with killing people. Then of course is the fact that the nuclear waste remains radioactive for thousands of years, and mankind hasn't found a safe way to deal with this, just kicks the can down the road, so Earth is being seeded with a contaminant so powerful that it could destroy mankind, and we doesn't know what to do with it (safely). That to me is the reason we must seek out other ways to generate electricity. Not much point in my continuing this, as you have your view and I have mine, and as the saying goes "ne'er the twain shall meet".

Obviously a nuclear power supporter, and your "answers" gloss over too much.......e.g. mining for uranium far more dangerous and as for spent nuclear fuel, then it doesn't become "safe" for thousands of years Burying it is still the option taken, so is unsafe in that environment due to circumstances beyond our control, water table or not.

Not sure the idea to get kids killing feral cats was too bright, however there is nothing to stop a campaign getting underway which precludes kids from the hunt. They are indeed one hell of a nuisance and are indiscriminate killers at the best of times, so god knows what these feral ones are like – – get rid of the buggers, and as soon as possible, wouldn't be soon enough.

They are just a bunch of dogs..............and even that is too kind a description.

So you have no problem with justice Clarence Thomas, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, telling lies and being unethical in his financial affairs. Doesn't reflect well, and I hope he gets called out big time (or should I say, bigly) but then again the GOP are a spineless bunch of crooks so will probably protect their own, or maybe MTG can issue a statement in his defence – – yeah right! PS. It could well become a legal issue if he is found guilty of defrauding the IRD with regards to tax being paid.

And plentiful.

They can't help themselves, and to quote the "scorpion and the frog" fable, it's in their nature. A news channel which bases itself on inaccurate news and lies, will attract personnel with the same failings, and that will never change.

You can eat them whole and they are available in supermarkets here....... Pumpkin seeds contain many nutrients which help to reduce an enlarged prostate. Firstly, they contain protective compounds called phytosterols, which have been found to help reduce an enlarged prostate. Their rich zinc content is another reason why pumpkin seeds are considered to be good for prostate health.

I have so far watched two episodes of a brilliant series on BBC iPlayer, called "Berlin 1945" and it is actual footage of the Russian advance on Berlin, and eventually of the taking of Berlin and the deaths of Hitler and his hierarchy, with more to come. Nothing is spared, dead bodies and all and there was one particularly poignant sentence in the second episode which really did hit home, when one Russian soldier, in the midst of fierce fighting, was quoted as saying, "why did they do it, why did they invade us, what was the reason?". I suppose the Ukrainians could be asking the same thing now about the Russians. Just a warning for the faint of heart, because in the first episode there is footage of what was found at a couple of the concentration camps, and it is not pretty at all, in fact it is disgusting that one human could do this to another, with body, upon body, upon body, looking no more than a grotesque rotting human carcass being piled into a mass grave.

I bought an Apple SE (second hand) a couple of years back on Lazada (or EBay??) and it's going fine, not that I use it for anything else other than phone calls and messages, although I have used the camera on a couple of occasions. My computer handles all of my emails and other stuff, and because I get quite a few emails, I don't want them following me around on an iPhone or similar. So this Apple SE is fine and should it decide to pack up then I will go back to my old Nokia 3710 flip phone, which I think is absolutely gorgeous. Sorted.

So why doesn't this inorganic mineral buildup which you say calcifies on the prostate due to improper diet and drinking water, happen elsewhere? After all, elements of the diet and drinking impure water start in the throat, then the stomach, then the intestines, also the kidneys and the bladder, not to mention the urethra, are associated with water/fluid transfer – – so why no buildup in those places?? The only calcification found in prostates is that which is due to infection in the prostate which hasn't been eliminated/dealt with successfully. Pleased that you are free of BPH, but I don't think your analysis "holds water" (as the saying goes) and as for drinking your own urine, well...... Drinking your own urine isn't advisable. It can introduce bacteria, toxins, and medications into your system. There's no reason to think that drinking urine would benefit your health in any way. There are much more effective routes for getting a high dose of vitamins and minerals.Mar 21, 2561 BE What Are the Risks and Benefits of Drinking Urine? - Healthline https://www.healthline.com › health › drinking-urine

And if nothing shows up, as is often the case in nonbacterial prostatitis, where then? After that it becomes a case of eliminating other causes and settling on something which "seems" to be the cause.

Well, I think that's about the first post of yours that I've ever liked! However that also describes me and although I do have a couple of female "friends", the idea of anything even like permanent or more than an hour or two, is an anathema to me. Single and content to be so.

But he is totally thick as two short planks.........a product of the education system here, or how positions can be bought.

I wonder why!!
