For months now I have been baffled about the phenomenon surrounding Mike Vick and the Dog Fighting case. The media frenzy around all of it is ridiculous. What baffled me even more is Animal Lovers going after a quick buck. T-shirts, chew toys, chewed up football cards on Ebay all to "benefit" the Humane Society.

The personification of pets in America is absurd. Dogs and Cats are eaten in other countries, here they are worshipped. 16,000 dogs die each year in dog fights. Congrats, you saved 40 some pit bulls. I'm sure they will make good wholesome family pets. The Humane society can sleep well at night knowing they got more funding off the deaths of those dogs and Mike Vick's name. I'm sure some of the ebay auction money didnt even make it to a humane society.

The NFL has convicted criminals all over the place. Men have killed and still play the game and I hope they welcome Vick back the same way they did with those players.

Thoughts?

I have type 1, and people ask me if mine is "BAD" enough that I have to inject insulin/use an insulin pump...but that is not "BAD" diabetes, just a different type in which you HAVE to take insulin (inhaled can also be done now). It is not that I have "let myself go" or have "had it so long". It is a different friggin' thing with similarities, the most obvious being the high blood sugar and potential problems. Why does the media pretend that type 2 is the only one?? I mean, I understand it is most prevalent, but you should have the type 2 also indicated where "diabetes" is printed, if that is the case.

I read a lot and have noticed that almost every book has a main character that has green eyes and another has smoky grey eyes. However, I rarely see anyone in real life with green or smoky grey eyes. Is it that I'm unobservant or are there really that many people with that color eyes? What color are your eyes? Mine are dark blue.

I have several questions about MRSA as friend's of ours just found out that her husband has MRSA and we were just there on Saturday night- he has an open wound on his stomach and I have 2 small children- our children played together.

1. If you have MRSA- will you always have it?
2. What are the signs of MRSA infection?
3. What are the chances to get it from someone just by being at their house- our children were in close contact, however didn't kiss, etc.

Thank you...
freaking out right now...
