I got it!! I GOT IIIT!! I´m so happy! Thank you dozen times Mel I can´t wait to start reading it!!

So how was the weekend? And this up-coming one?

I watched football yesterday, Spain VZ Portugal, and I know Germany is up to play against Italy, so I´m having my fingers crossed for ya

Oh man, and I wrote a PM, can't believe I'm such a jerk and didn't read my own thread, sorry, Jennka

So glad you got it

So, actually I wanted to spend yesterday's evening here, but a friend of mine send me a link to a documentary I had to watch ... it was the most shocking, upsetting thing I ever saw ... did you hear about "Earthlings"?

I'm not sure if I should recommend it to you, but in a way I feel oblieged to talk about it. It's about the suffering of animals for food, fashion, pets, entertainment and medical research. They filmed a lot of the material with hidden cameras in slaughterhouses and labs and breeding farms and stuff, I cried the whole movie. I can't believe how cruel people are. It's very long, about an hour and a half, every few minutes I was gazing at the time code to see how much longer I had to watch, often thought about stopping it, but one of their "motto" is: "We must not refuse with our eyes what they must endure with their bodies"- so I stayed tune until the end. Afterwards I couldn't bring myself to spend time with talk, and I'm still shaken by the memories.

So I'm posting a link to it here, but it is really, really dreadful, so read the review first before you decide to watch it ...

Why am I posting this ... I don't know, I feel like the more people know about it, the better we are informed, maybe one day we will be able to stop the cruelty. It's not that I decided to become a vegetarian or vegan after watching it, though I thought about it. But I will not buy meat anymore when I don't know where it came from, that means no hamburgers and no meat at restaurants anmore etc. I won't eat pork anymore. Same goes with sea fish. I'm not gonna buy milk/cheese/creme etc from a brand that doesn't exactly state how they treat their cows. And I won't buy any bakery stuff, if I don't know where they got their eggs from. I'm not gonna buy leather goods anymore.

I simply won't.

And I will only buy cosmetics from companies that are on a white list, having absolutely nothing to do with animal research whatsoever.

I told my mother about it and she said it won't change anything if I stop all those things, but if I decide to change my way of life due to that movie, maybe others will change their ways too, and in the end we are perhaps enough to make a general change of things.

I think that if someone wants to change the world, he should start from his very own self - that means you have just the right approach Mel never lose hope, even small good things are worth a try.

I can´t watch the document - I already know what I´m going to see and can´t go through that anymore. Last time I saw such thing I could not sleep for a week and everything inside of me just hurt damn lot. I will never understand cruelty to animals.

Nothing has changed me to a vegetarian, but I do care about what I buy. No cosmetics, no leather, no fur (hell seeing someone in fur makes me freeze, especially now since the technology of creating clothes has gone so far and we no more need fur to feel warm), I have one shampoo and that´s all.

If I have a chance to help, I do it, if I can save an animal, I do it.

We really should care more - if only people would learn it.

Oh balsamico vinegar, so romantic

I got to say, I smiled and laughed when I read this It's nice to appreciate the little things in life

Carmelita! Any gardening undertakings at the moment?

I miss Freja. I hope she gets back into the modeling game. Why did she disappear? I don't really know.

Freja's back and more beautiful than ever!!!

Speak of the devil and she shall appear

*put the volume on mute, though
