Fortunately, the human stomach acids neutralize lots of things... I use onions for rust stains, and I also eat lots of them and garlic, good for circulation...I have not seen any evidence that food coloring and fizzy stuff does anything positive. It's funny, but coffee does nothing to me but have some pure apple juice and you'll find me scrubbing the bathroom ceiling!

I am also the baking soda queen, I use it to clean everything!!! and it makes water ph balance. There has been some research about sodium bicarb and how it can inhibit cancer cell growth??

I hear what you're saying about stomach acids...ironic i'm so finnicky about coke considering the fact that as a child I ingested paperclips, paper, chewed up popsicle and lolly-pop sticks, biro ends , kleenex, and shredded balloons...none of which seemed to have a terrible effect on me.
we use bicarb for cleaning all sorts of things and as an antacid.

I do still put non food items in my mouth ocasionnally (marbles/wishing stones and yes the occasional paperclip) but have learned not to do it around others because it freaks them out (Don't know why coz I know plenty of people who practically eat their pens and pencils) I spit the items out rather than ingest them...They call it PICA, it's not uncommon in people who are "on the spectrum" I just like the feel of some things

I'm debating tonight- which is stranger; people brainz or cat brainz?

I guess it could be worse, you could be dragging home dead things... or licking yourself for hours...

For what it's worth, I can see why your parents worry, they must have one helluva sense of humor!

ha ha My parents are Sicilian so they just assume its all part of the great drama of life thats produced to make them miserable. Plus they've learned I can look after myself and functionally deal with the consequences of all my quirks. Cat brains are way more mystifying and interesting than human brains. E.g I'm daily intrigued as to why my cat is obsessed with a plastic bathroom stool and any shoes left on the lounge room carpet. Also I regularly question why he has an aversion to anyone wearing shorts.

Being an odd child, my favorite treat was flank steak with bearnaise sauce:)

Because if you wear shorts your legs might touch grass...and that just feels wrong!

Also cats are attracted to any inanimate object that can be eaten and then regurgiated in unrecognizable lumps:)

To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.

It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

nah...he just doesn't like the sight of bare legs. also he now has a predelection for only one pair of shoes: My Redback Work boots. He even comes over to me when I'm wearing them and asks for one. then he plays with it, cuddles it and tries to stick his head inside it before he falls asleep on it usually with his paws inside the boot opening. I will try to get some pics and post them.

Hey boris- where do you work that you use work boots?

I am mainly a speech pathology student, but work in after school care/vacation care etc. and find boots are the best shoes for the job. Also I don't drive so I do a lot of trudging to get to places,sometimes on difficult terrain and amongst broken bottles etc (and occasionally snake, goanna and spider concealing long grass). Redbacks (named after a venomous spider) are elastic sided pull-on heavy duty Australian work boots with capped toes. They're hardier than sneakers and last ages. Before I started this studying lark I found them ideal footwear for walking and schoolaged care but they were particularly good for disabilities work i did where you had to get shoes on and off in a hurry (also good for protecting toes from wheelchair wheels backing onto them and shin kicking clients). I've also found them great for working in acute hospital settings during clinical placements for speech Pathology. I love my boots
