Bush Vetoes Stem Cell Bill - Thanks Goodness We Are Saving Those Discarded Embryos



Recommended Posts

Stem cell research could fix my hearing. I also am upset at his continued opposition of this stuff.

Good points being made. Except for the Bullseye Barbeque Sauce report. I don't know about that. I will have to do a taste test and report back.

The "chocolate" underwear remark is pretty dang funny.

But Bush, he's not funny. He's a train wreck. And he's taking our country down with him. Have you been reading about the things that his appointee to the Supreme Court (mostly Roberts, although the other one is nearly as bad) has been saying lately?

What has his new appointee been saying? I know his Attorney General has been in the news quite a bit....!

I am prepared cast my vote for Bullseye as well. It is about the best commercially available BBQ Sauce that I've found. I like to use KC Masterpiece for full body soaking, however, because they sell it at costco in 30 gallon drums.

As for Bush, I'm now to the point of just trying to hold my breath until his term is over. I keep passing out, but this is only a problem when I'm driving.

By the way, did you hear? Barbara Bush has now asked for a DNA test to make sure Dubya is really hers. Now that's just sad.

I'm all for Bush screwing up. The more mistakes he makes and the more Americans he pisses off, the more voters will rise up in anger and strive to replace him with someone from the left wing (or as left as the Democrats go, which isn't very far in my opinion).

And you're all wrong about the BBQ Sauce. My homemade secret recipe from scratch is the mother of all BBQ sauces. A little sweet, a little smoky, a little spicy. Just like me.

I've just read that there is going to be stem cell research going on at one of the universities in my Province. One donor alone has given 15 million to the research fund. This is good, I think.

Lucy's Barbecue Sauce

1 large red onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup Laphroaig single malt scotch

10 oz Tomato paste

1/2 cup cider vinegar

1 cup honey

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup Dijon mustard

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 cup hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons chili powder

1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

In a large saucepan on low heat, saute the onions and garlic with the olive oil for about 12 minutes, sweat the onions, but don't over-saute then. Deglaze with the scotch. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes. Voila!

Mark: multiply everything by 120.

Isn't the issue more about who should do the funding, not if it should be done? Didn't the veto indicate that federal funds could not be used, but the $$$-rich pharmaceutical companies are free to conduct research using their own funding?

If this is incorrect, I'm sure someone will set it straight.

Lucy I can tell just by reading the recipe (thanks for posting by the way) that it is great. Your recipe includes the basic barbeque sauce recipe ingredients that I use. Whenever I use it, I get rave reviews. I will print your recipe, try it out soon and give you my report.

Btw, have you ever slow-cooked a roast (beef or pork) for most of a day and then shredded or chopped it and smothered it in that basic sweet/spicy barbeque sauce, heated it throughly and kept it warm in a chaffing dish and served it with soft mini Buns on the side, as an appetizer? You'll make friends and influence enemies.

Mark, for your purposes, use half a cow or a whole pig.

Oh, no, mousecrazy! No sense injecting FACTS into the discussion.

(In case anyone hadn't yet guessed, I'm being sarcastic)

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
