Can you help us end the dog lab at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW)? Every spring, the medical college uses 60 live dogs in a first-year physiology course. At the end of the class, the dogs are killed.
Labs like this were once common, but today more than 85 percent of U.S. medical schools have implemented humane and effective alternatives. MCW owns four state-of-the-art human patient simulators specifically designed to replace animal use for physiology teaching, so MCW president Michael Bolger could implement humane alternatives immediately.
MCW administrators are considering the use of pigs or sheep as replacements. However, this does not address the basic issue—the use of animals is cruel, unnecessary, and educationally inferior to non-animal alternatives.
Top-ranked medical schools such as Harvard, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania have produced excellent doctors for years without the use of live animal labs in their curricula. It’s time for MCW to follow that example and save the lives of 60 animals.
Contact the Medical College of Wisconsin today. Politely ask administrators to immediately replace live animals with humane non-animal alternatives.

Did anyone watch ABC's 20/20 last Friday about The Bridge of Death? It was about a documentary of The Golden Gate Bridge suicides over the course of a year. It is the number one place in the United States where people commit suicide. I had goosebumps watching it, because it reminded me so much of 9/11, plus it was just VERRRRY eerie. SOOOO eerie in parts. I haven't watched the documentary, but I'm going to. It's not that I want to watch people in their final moments, but after watching this show, it's interested me. Especially because of the line of work I'm going into. It's definitely something that will leave you thinking and hopefully it will save some lives.
The galleries are full of critics. They play no ball, they fight no fights. They make no mistakes because they attempt nothing. Down in the arena are the doers. They make mistakes because they try many things. The man who makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure. He is the one who never tries anything. His is the brake on the wheel of progress. And yet it cannot be truly said he makes no mistakes, because his biggest mistake is the very fact that he tries nothing, does nothing, except criticize those who do things.
Forgiveness.
Forgive. Get over it. Put it behind you. Move the clouds away, so that you see sunshine. It's bringing you down too much, forgive them. There is nothing so bad that cannot be forgiven. Nothing! Forgiveness is the experience of finding peace inside and can neither be compelled nor stopped by another. I believe that to withhold forgiveness is to choose to continue to remain the victim. Remember, you always have choice. "What?" you say! "Cut them some slack after what THEY did to me? Never!" Let go! Move on! Deal with it. Stop being a bitch and get over it.
That's some of the things I have heard from people, and a website, Forgiveness, I was looking at throughout the years, with the topic of forgivenss. I agree with a lot of the things that are said on that website, but I also think a lot of things are hypocritical or easier said than done. You can't just have drama and then say OH YEAH I FORGIVE YOU! Hehehehe my bad I shouldn't have gotten mad at you. I forgive you. Yeah.... My fuckin ass. I don't work that way, nor will I ever. I've been through too much bullshit to be walked all over. Ever again.
There are some things in my life I don't think I will ever be able to talk about, nor forgive. There are people who have been in my life and who are still in my life, who I will never forgive. God says to forgive, because he never asks us to do something we cannot do. But there are just some things I don't think will ever be possible to me and for some of the things I'm sure it has and will hurt me. Make me more angry. Confused. ANGRY. Sad. ANGRY. But I just can't do it. Tell me it's wrong not to forgive, but it's easier said than done. To let go of something I have no control over. To let go of something that has killed part of my soul. That has burned a hole in my heart, my mind and body. I just can't do it. And you know what? I would love to wake up one day and say I forgive them. I forgive everyone. But I can't. I just can't.
I don't like to hold grudges, because in the end that gets you no where. But there's always been one person who I've held grudges with. And in the long run it's hurt me. But I just can't help it. But I've gotten over that. I've gotten over the fact that people are so selfish that they don't even realize the way they treat the people who love them the most. I've gotten over the fact that some of the most hypocritical people I will ever meet, I've already met, and had to deal with their drama. I've gotten over the fact that if someone calls me psycho, because I don't put up with any bullshit, that's okay. I believe in karma. That's good enough for me. I've gotten over the fact that if someone calls me a bitch because I tell them like it is, too fuckin bad. And I've gotten over the fact that there are some things in life I have no control over. No matter how much I want some things in my life to be the way I need and want them, sometimes it takes time, tears and a lot of patience for things to work out the way I want them to.
When you forgive, it's a process. It's not a wham bam, I FORGIVE YOU now bs. I'm tired as hell so I know I'm rambling and I haven't checked what I wrote. But all I know is that until I hear "I'm sorry" from them.... I will go to my grave angry. Maybe shame on me for feeling this way. Or maybe shame on them for disrespecting me to the fullest. Shame on them. That's what I think about that. Yupp. Peace n luv - 1
I will never understand how someone could ever ignore someone they love. Yes, sometimes it's better not to speak to them for a minute so that you don't blow up in their face or at them. But ignoring them is not going to solve anything. It's not going to make the other person feel better. Too many people are too selfish that they don't even realize it. It makes me quite sad that someone could treat another soul this way yet think it's alright. I will never understand when the one person who doesn't deserve this treatment is treated this way. Some people need to grow up and some need to realize that the way they treat people they love will come back to haunt them. You can bet on that.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. –Leo Buscaglia
I wish I was still in St. Thomas. It's hot as hell out and raining and I just wish I was laying on the beach in a hammock drinking away the night. That's paradise to me. Simplicity. Not saying I could live out of a tent on the beach, because with the bugs and animals, hell no!! But I just need more simplicity in my life. No worries, mon. Where people chill. McDonald's may be an all day event but hey-I could deal with that. Time is not a priority and I wish I was back in my fantasy land. I guess I'll have to find some millionaire fisherman like I met the whole time I was there. Let me tell you some of their boats were I don't even know how to describe them! 11 mill for a boat. Yeah, I could live on that. In a heartbeat.
