Some parents are complaining. 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. Sky, who's rolling eyes again |

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? |

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)! Sky |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Sharon 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." ![]() |

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. ggg. |

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. -- All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt. |
