[ - ] I really don't understand the rabid Hillary supporters. I'm all for supporting your candidate, but how can they say things like, "McCain in 08!!!" Do they really think the Republicans will do more for womens' rights than the Democrats will? It makes no sense!! 1 Reply [ Reply | Watch | More

I don't think they do think McCain will do anything for women's rights (whatever that means now) I think they are bitter and are trying to blackmail the DNC into putting her in over the choice of most of the country as if they know better what is for our own good. [ Reply | More

The circled U indicates that this product is certified as kosher by the Orthodox Union (OU). The word "Pareve" indicates that this product contains neither milk nor meat ingredients. Kosher (literally "ritually acceptable") foods are those that conform to Jewish dietary laws. Reasons for food being considered non-kosher include the presence of ingredients derived from non-kosher animals or from kosher animals that were not properly slaughtered, a mixture of meat and milk, wine or grape juice (and their derivatives) produced by gentiles, the use of produce from Israel that has not been tithed properly, or even the use of cooking utensils and machinery which had previously been used for non-kosher food.

she has to stand up afterwards so you can help her wipe backwards. let her wipe herself for pee even if she does a bad job of it. prepare for lots of stains and urine droplets, but do not make a big deal out of it. she's training! [ Reply | More
