OK, what's wrong with the statements ala bovine? Edmonds "has" (present
tense) food at school parties. But, pencils and stickers are allowed.
Then it states "No food". How illogical is this? Does not make sense
other than they're contradictory statements. More of the same idiocy.

Retired??? Wow. I had no idea that retail chains had such great benefits
that you could *retire*. My guess is that you quit or got fired. You
certainly did not retire with a pension.

If you haven't yet noticed the recurring patterns to your posts - and
the reactions to those posts, then it doesnt say much about your
powers of perception and reasoning.

And why is it that nobody else who posts here gets responses like you
do? Did that ever occur to you or even ask yourself why that is?

Nup, apparently. The only other scenario is that you're a form of
troll (and a damned good one at that).
Which is it?

Prescription meds? I never thought of that, to be honest.
It might account for Julie's state of mind.

April 20, 2014 "Especially since I am a writer"

Since when can anyone '*retire*' when aged 30-something?? Perhaps if
they're Bill Gates or Warren Buffet - not that either of those gentlemen
retired during their 30s!! More absurd fiction from the bove - yeah,
right, it retired "from that job almost 20 years ago" - NOT! Agreed -
it quit or was otherwise fired from said position and certainly without
a 'pension' at that age (30-something)!

'food at school party'... with no food. But extra recess is okay.
Understood.

It figures you'd say that. How can a place like Target sell decent

What? No. No dairy in either. If there was, I couldn't eat it. Some
theaters do have a real butter topping that you can get, or so I have read.
But ours here use a "buttery topping", if you want that in addition.
Standard popcorn machine popcorn is popped in coconut oil with artificial
butter flavoring and also have an artificial butter flavored popcorn salt.
If you buy those things as a consumer, and dairy is an issue, you do have to
check. Some do contain dairy. But most of the commercially popped stuff
does not.

Ewww! Air popped popcorn is nasty. There's a reason why they call
those Styrofoam packing peanuts "popcorn".

I have eaten air popped. I wouldn't turn it down but it's pretty akin to
what you said. If I eat it like that, it has to be just that. Nothing
added. Try to add butter or something butter flavored to that and it just
sucks up the oil but only in some spots. Not good. And salt won't stick
unless there is oil. I used to spray it with Weight Watcher's buttery spray
until it dawned on me that I was using about a half a can of that each time.
No thanks.

Pan popped in oil for me.

I'm not a popcorn gourmet and you know I don't internet shop for food.
Orville's is good enough for me.

I have come to expect little more than idiocy. What disappoints me is
the people here who defend her. It is hard enough that they cannot see
through her themselves, but they are in denial about the proof that
others have presented here. Everyone where with a brain acknowledges
that she has claimed to be a writer, but there are several here who have
denied that she ever said it.

I don't know how old Julie is exactly. She had referred to things in her
childhood, having a teenage daughter and other things that lead me to
expect that she is is middle aged. It would be hard enough to *retire*
from a retail job in one's 60s. If she left in her 30s that would be
quitting or being fired. If she had gone on to another line of work we
probably would have heard about it. But what the heck.... we can't
believe much that Julie says.

Not only that but we have killed off many of the natural predators in
certain areas. Like wolves. I'm not against hunting at all. I don't
want to do it, but seriously someone needs to do it.

When I was a teenager, I hunted for a few years but... Once I shot and
killed an animal, I didn't go into this silly rant about..... I honor
you Mr.Rabbit. Thank you for giving up your life so I can have a snack
tonight....etc.

G.

Year 2030. Alien kills me then immediately says, "I thank you and
honor you Gary for giving up your life so my family can eat fried
gary-nuggets for dinner."

Does anybody here realize that GMO is not necessarily a bad thing?
It's new science. Maybe a bit scary to all you oldtimers but you need
to look at the benefit possibilities of genetic engineering. Don't
throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Do you know what gmo plants we're talking about? They're food plants
that are bred survive when their fields are sprayed with roundup.
Mother nature's weeds have already figured out how to survive roundup,
so now chemical companies (monsanto, bayer etc) have to come up with
even stronger herbicides to spray on crops. You might enjoy eating
chemical laden food, but the rest of us would rather not.

Put another way, the average American hasn't eaten this much butter
since 1972, or—and perhaps more incredibly—this little margarine since 1942.
Hear you on that. I was borned shortly after the big war. We ate only oleo till prob ten years ago. Now we eat only butter or sometimes stoop to a butter olive oil combo spread. Oleo do not appear to be healthy for folks. It came about when the lie about saturated fats got discovered.
