Q: can cows do it cuz humans cant

A: cows generally will only start producing milk with the birth of a calf, but once started they will continue to produce milk as long as it is drawn off either by the calf or by a milking machine. I have heard of people who adopt a baby and with continuing nursing eventually begin to produce milk. I’m not sure if that works with cows too.

MY PARENTS ARE CRAZY!!!?

Q: Once I took a handful of raisins (me trying to be healthy so my parents get off my back) and my mom tells me to put half of them back because raisins have too much sugar!They are obsessed with healthy, they made me quit drinking cow milk, eating cheese, white bread, cookies, ice cream, chocolate, coffee, and meat.1. I’m not lactose-intolerant (NO ONE IN MY FAMILY IS!) 2. I don’t have food allergies (I know, I’ve had a blood test and the doctor says I have no food allergies)3. I’m 13, 5 foot 3.5 inch and 100 pounds, my BMI is 18. I take sports all year round!I know they want me to be healthy, but they practically let me have no candy or anything like they used to. My grandma has Diabetes (the kind were you can’t eat a lot of sugar) but my parents don’t have it, and no one else in my family does. I’m always jealous of my friends cause their parents are relaxed and don’t limit their food, or make them study in the summer, or hover over them 24/7.Oh, and my mom always complOkay so, I’m a thirteen year old girl my parents and I moved from Russia when I was 7.Anyway, i’m going into eight grade this year and my parents don’t let me do anything:I was hanging out with my BFF yesterday, (she lives 8 blocks away from my house, and we live in a small neighborhood where there are rarely any crimes, and her parents are best friends with my parents, and her parents are SUPER strict just like mine) so anyway while we were playing frisbee in the park next to her house, she wanted me to sleep over (we never had a sleep over together and we’ve known each other for 4 years, our parents introduced us) so she asks her mom and she says okay. I ask my mom and she says no. This is the conversation:Me: Hey mom, can i maybe sleep over Alex’s house (she’s a girl)Mom; NO NO NO! Me: Why not, we don’t have anything in the morning, and her mom says it’s okay I promise to listen and do eve–Mom: NO! No sleepovers, you have enough fun! What’s the point of a sleep over anyway? They are stupid and worthless. What ere you gonna do anyway?Me: Mom, please, we never had one, we were hoping to watch a movie, her parents are gonna be home, and I promise to call, and—Mom: NO WAY! You can watch a movie now or next week, but no sleep overs! Plus you have your tutoring class tomorrow!Me: But why my tutoring class is at 4:30 PM and–Mom: You didn’t do any chores or your tutor hw! I said NO. End of conversation. (I finished my chores and did my hw 2 DAYS AGO!)Me: But I finished my–Mom: I SAID NO!!!Me: *sigh* Okay.* I did not use any sarcasm during the conversation.This is really weird, I’ve had sleep overs with other friends, those who live like an hour away by car, and even on school nights! And with friends whose parents she barely knows. But she never lets me have a sleepover with Alex.Alex’s parents are also super strict and never let her ever have a sleepover, they will only let me sleepover because our parents are close friends. Alex is 13, she is a goody-goody two shoes kind of girl who would never do anything out of line (just like me, our parents would kill us if we snuck out, or did something against the “rules”). She is trustworthy, she lives 15 min away from my house (by foot) and her parents are gonna be home during the night. And we hang out all the time around town when our parents are away (with permission of course).Here’s another thing: My parents are obsessed with grades.Both parents when to some fancy shmansy university in Russia and they brought me here and it is so horrible.- I’m not allowed to get any grade lower than a A- (once I got a B on a French Pop Quiz and I got grounded and got my computer and TV time taken away for two weeks)- If I do get lower than A- I get the “I’m never gonna get into a good high school, college, and going to spend my life working as a garbage woman for the rest of my life and other crap” lecture. – They make me do a tutoring class each week to prepare for the ISEE, which is a test kind of like the SAT except for high school. AND they said I have to do an hour a day of studying from this ISEE prep book.- My dad forced me to get 10 french books from my french teacher so I don’t forget the language. (We went to Canada for the beginning of summer, I spoke nothing BUT french, they don’t even speak french! I had to translate everything for them, they even quizzed me on every single word, during vacation!)- Just a few days ago my mom was saying good night and started ranting on how I did nothing with my summer, how I didn’t study, how I have nothing to put on my college application, and how I’m just lazy and sit around doing nothing all day! (I did swim practice, tae-kwon-do, voice class, test prep, test studying, french reading, we went to Canada, Cape Cod!)- Everyday they say: Did you read your French books, did you do your Tae-kwon-do practice, did you study, did you do your hw?1 I finished my french books 2 months ago! 2. I finish my homework the day I get it!3. I study every stinkin day, it’s summer, jeez!4. I practice tae-kwon-do when my parents go to work, or my mom goes shopping in NYC, and they don’t believe me when I say I did practice. But I can’t practice when we’re not home because our apartment is too small, and even though they know nothing about karate, they will try to but in and correct and watch my every move!Oh, and here comes the worst part, they watch over like hawks over everything I eat!When I was little they used to sometimes buy me oreos, goldfish crackers, and even a milky way bar if i was good!Now, they stopped buying ice cream, they buy flax seed oil trailmix oatmeal cookies (I’d rather eat garbage). They say it’s too much sugar and chemicals.They used to say that I should eat fruits instead. So I started eating fruit, and they now stopped buying a lot of fruit because “fruit has too much sugar” WTFH?Once I took a handful of raisinsOnce I took a handful of raisins (me trying to be healthy so my parents get off my back) and my mom tells me to put half of them back because raisins have too much sugar!They are obsessed with healthy, they made me quit drinking cow milk, eating cheese, white bread, cookies, ice cream, chocolate, coffee, and meat.1.

A: Is there a question in here somewhere?Your parents are trying to do what’s best for you, life in Russia was MUCH harder than here…so they’re much more strict.

Please read this copy of a conversation on Facebook and tell me if this guy is creepy?

Q: Some details: I met him less than a month ago and the following is our conversation up until two days ago. He is an African living in London. I have tried to be friendly and polite but it sounds like he is wanting somehting more – like to chat me up. He is ten years older than me and no way would I date him for various reasons even though he seems a good man.I have starred out some personal details and changed his name. Him:Hello Josephine,am happy that you returned home safely and especially that you’re robbing shoulder with a Nobel price winner.I hope that you are doing very well today.Am trying now to finish my second biology essay. The last date is 30th.I tried to send you an email but looks like their is a problem with the email address that you gave me. please send me the email address again if possible.Look after yourself and talk to you soon!Ciao!!!Kenneth. Me:Hi Kenneth,Sorry for the delay in replying. I’m not as organised as I was in Birmingham….I don’t know where my organisation has gone! How do you find the biology course? I am applying for it just now. I want to start in 2010. So will you send me all your essays so I can get great marks? (only joking!!) My e-mail is *******************@yahoo.co.uk What have you been doing since getting back? I have not done much. I have done none of my project write up. Next week I am going on a working holiday for a week. then i need to find a job!bye for now,Josephine Him:You don’t cease to amaze me!!You are special!!! Me:Why do you say that? If it is just because I am doing a working holiday…well it’s no big thing. I already did one this year and I think it is good to be busy and use my time well. I am not very good at accepting complements like what you said…..too many times in the past these have been a guise under which people have had other motives. I’m not saying you do, but just that I don’t really want to be complemented…I’d rather just hear your news / thoughts on the world. Him:What is motives? Is the same thing as Blessing, truthfulness, beauty, goodness, positive vibes, nice, without judgement, optmistic…etcyou are still special!!! Me:Hi Kenneth,I hope you are well. What are you up to? I just got back from my holiday. It went really well. The best things were learning how to milk cows and picking raspberries and having a bonfire. We had toasted marshmallows round the fire! I got my grades for English and I am pleased with them! now I just need to write the extended essay. have you done yours yet?Josephine Him:Hiya,Am happy that you got your expected grade and that you are pleased with them…. I just finished my fifth biology essay. It was late but I hope that they will still mark it. I will start my project this week. I hope that all is well with you.I will be attending the *********** annual retreat in ********(*******) at last weekend of this month.This is my mobile number…************.I will be happy if you can send me yours..Thanks Kenneth. Me:Hi Kenneth,I am applying to do the biology course next. I haven’t started my extended essay yet. I hardly ever use my mobile – only for texts when i am travelling and need to arrange meeting up…so you won’t need my mobnile number.Hope you’re well.Josephine Him:when I saw you at the summer school, it took me time to talk to you and when I did, I wasn’t disappointed. You were softly spoken, simple, easy going and above all very intelligent.You continues to amaze me each day!Remain Positive….Kenneth.

A: I think if anything it is just YOU being too defensive, there is nothing particularly creepy about what he said, nothing was dirty.From what I know about Africans, from TV and ones I’ve met, that is just how they go about chatting someone up, it’s not creepy to them, that’s just how it happens over there. It might be a bit more full on than what we are used to here, but he doesn’t mean to come across as creepy, I assure you.EDIT: The fact that he’s 10 years older is a bit creepy though, I forgot that in my original answer.
