Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

I eat beef, and dairy products, and would probably try veal if the opportunity arose, however I doubt very much that cows are all that happy happy with the situation.

Recently had a meal cooked for me by a Japanese girl. At the start, I asked "what's the Japanese for bon appetit?". I explained it's something you say before a meal. She then says something that to me, sounds more like the Japanese equivalent of grace before meal rather than bon appetit. She then dissects it piece by piece to translate it for me; "<blablabla> means you thank the farmers for providing you with the vegetables. <blablabla> means you thank the animal for giving you their meat".

Jaysus, I don't think they would have the opportunity to say "you're welcome"!

4. She got really really attached to me and could both give kisses (nose would touch my face, sometimes she'd lick my face) and hugs (her head on my shoulder, my arms around her neck). They are capable of emotion. Jealously, being lonely, being frightened, being sad.

Ah Lexie that's adorable. I'm nearly crying. I love animals that's why I'm vegetarian.

I was a vegetarian for 7 years, then I got really sick and needed to eat meat, but lately I've been really feeling like giving it up again. Lexie's post just made me feel that even more.

Possibly not "The Hots" per sé, but this "Bromance" bullhockey properly annoys me. What is it with sixteen-stone grown men acting like teenage girls (these days, with beards!)?? As far as I'm concerned the authorised way of expressing camaraderie and/or affection for a fellow-Bloke is after he's converted a hard-won try the getting of which will probably confine him to a wheelchair and he's fighting back tears of pure agony - the hands are placed on the hips, a good hawk spat on the turf, a quick stare into the middle-distance followed by a remark like "Daycent. Well-hoofed, chief!" before trotting nonchalantly back to your own half.

I dont judge anyone for eating meat but I physically couldn't stomach beef purely because i grew up on a farm, and made friends with so many calves and cows, and theyd trust you, they'd come running over in the field, nuzzling at me for food and attention, they'd trust you so much never to hurt them -- and then you allow them to be killed, and the worst part is -- it's your fault they don't even see it coming. I think it's more about me personally betraying them than them being killed. Like leading them to their death what's that about keeping your enemies closer than your friends

I had 3 different types of animal on my pizza last night.

I was too. Had my parents hearts broken 'cause I didn't eat veg either lol. I tend to stick with organic, free range and can see myself giving it up completely at some stage. I also dont eat it every day as I don't think we need to. If we only ate it once or twice a week we could afford to produce meat more sustainably and ethically, rather than being flesh guzzling hyper consumers eating low grade, intensely farmed cráp. I dont judge people who eat meat but I do challenge those who claim the animals are all happy and that they are living some kind of one track amoeboid existence, incapable of fear or sadness.

Yes, god be with the days when a man would go "over the top" with a tally ho ,and a stiff upper lip, swagger stick under the arm, with a revolver and six bullets.....to be sliced in half by a machine gun and be remembered as "a fine fellow"

it's quiet in here today.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I'm so upset. Not blowing my own trumpet but I'm really good at what I do. I have well known models who come to me, I've been named in an irish magazine for my eyebrow threading. So my late appointment arrived 15 minutes late, freaked out because I was irish "I'm sure you are experienced but..." Was so rude to me throughout the treatment and freaked out at me before I could finish. She was screaming at me so loudly one of the other girls came into the room to check if everything was okay. I asked her to leave and she was just shouting hysterically at me, in really broken English about irish people and me looking like a prostitute. The Russian at work was at reception and this other lady could speak Russian but didn't look Russian, my russian wouldnt translate what the horrible bitch said about me but she kept saying she was really offensive, and really racist and "didn't want to hurt my feelings" by translating but it was about me being Irish and me personally, appearance etc.

I'm shaking with both temper and annoyance that I didnt stand up for myself more and ask her to leave before it escalated. wtf is it with dublin and crazy people

Been trying to get some work done all morning. It's a tedious task as it is, but today the tool I have to use is particularly slow. So frustrating!

What horse sh!t!!

I worked in New Zealand on a dairy herd of over 1600. I can most certainly tell you, 8 out of 10 cows knew you were up to something coming into the paddock with one calf amongst hundreds outside of feeding time. And f*ck me you had to be quick to get out with the poor calf.

*as an aside I did NOT enjoy any part of working on that farm. Intensive farming = lowered animal welfare.

THIS!!

From an evolutionary standpoint, red meat wouldn't have been eaten alot by people. Too much energy would have been expelled in the hunt, chase and kill. If a large kill was successful, I can assure you it wasn't eaten within a two week period!!

Then from a settled period with farming, well it takes time and dedication to get that animal to an "effective" maturity to eat. Again, time to get the meat to an adequate quality for consumption and so not thrown back quickly when ready to eat.

Personally I don't think red meat is necessary more than once or twice a week either. It's something I keep meaning to look into more scientifically to get a proper read on it.

And this is someone born and bred on a farm. I do enjoy a good steak (even venison - don't shoot me!!), but not hugely necessary as part of our diets as commonly perceived.

Hope you're okay Lexie, that sounds awful x

Where did that wind come from? I was about to head out there for a workout- you know, walk to the end of the street- and I nearly got blown over by the wind.
To hell with that. Am safely back inside again.

Yup. I'd much rather eat an ethically sourced steak once a week than seven days of cráp meat.

Ours got stuck inside yesterday for longer than he wanted - he shat in the shower! Very unpleasant to clean up, but could have been a whole lot worse if it was elsewhere in the house.

What in the actual scuttery brought all that on? I'd be inclined to tell her I'm not particularly interested in whatever psychotic episode she's having, that'll be potato alcohol for you. I speak French to my wife, Italian to visiting dignitaries, German to the chap who maintains the cars and Russian to the dog. :cool:

We'll see how it goes. It got on the duvet and the sheets. Mattress protector seems to have done its job but I think a new duvet is in order!

What makes it more annoying is that it's the older cat and not the kitten

Gross! We keep all of the upstairs doors closed when we are out so thankfully no shower incidents. We did have one of them poo all over the couch and it wasn't solid.... :eek::mad:
