Not really I used to love them when I was really really little and then hated them. So when I have them it makes me angry like flashbacks or something. *shrugs* Only ones that are safe are Potatoes all kinds, Corn, Roasted Red Peppers and String beans cooked a certain way. Occasionally I can have carrots in soups and stuff but if I have to eat it on it's one it just makes me angry. XD

[Mika]

Ah, I see now. I guess that just makes more sense.

[Blue Jay]

Yeah my memory can be vivid at times. XD

I like veggies but they don't always like me .... so I can't eat some of them.

[Blue Jay]

*stretches* To be honest I feel like the Tomato should still be labeled a veggie. It was considered one for how long and then got turned into a fruit! That's just really really lame.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

No matter what they say, a tomato will always be a veggie to me

[Blue Jay]

That's how I feel about it. Plus I want to say that having ketchup on a hot dog counts as a veggie. XD

[Lemon Cheesecake]

(giggles) I hear that very often, and ketchup still has lycopene which helps against cancer

*shudders at the word cancer and a tear falls off his eye* I hate cancer with a passion. It angers me that so many people think Breast Cancer is the only cancer and it gets the most publicity when there are other types of cancer. I lost my mother to brain cancer two years ago. I had my sister told off for having a Gray Cancer Ribbon tattoo on her that it should be pink. Pink is for Breast cancer and Gray is for Brain Cancer. *grits teeth*

With all the clients we have, you'd be surprised just how many cancers you can learn are out there. We have a few clients with cancer currently. We had one die last year, she is missed dearly. We've had others pass away before I began working full time with my mom, so I didn't really know them, but yeah. We currently have one client who has bone cancer. I forget what kinds the others have since they are newer client ts and we don't see them often.

[Blue Jay]

There are too many cancers out there and they should all be eradicated!

[Mika]

I doubt that will ever happen.

well with cancer and stuff usually the scientists who are searching for a cure, they focus on one particular kind, because that way it doesnt stretch resources plus if they find the cure to one, its either going to work for other cancers, or at least give them a starting point for them. I think breast cancer gets the attention because its more marketable i think? but telling someone their ribbon should be pink is really dumb.. like the other cancers still exist :S

[Mika]

I feel like once cancer is solved and more curable that some new obstacle will just be thrown at us.

[Blue Jay]

I can get behind the cancer research but they really should state that breast cancer isn't the only cancer out there. I saw a bunch of women throw their arms up in anger over the challenge for Men's Testicular cancer campaign a while back. It made me mad because there are so many breast cancer videos that have woman covering their chests and it was all power to them. Yet when guys do the same thing in a picture completely clothed they get yelled at. Cancer regardless of what it is needs to be seen and heard. Let the guys have a special thing too! *Harumphs in the corner!*
