Is there any better tasting meat product then fresh bacon?!?!?!? Sure, other meats taste great but bacon is in a class all by itself.

I have gone so far as to butcher my own hog every year so I can have fresh cut, uncured, organic bacon. More meat, it's as thick as I want, and I can season it as much as I want and not have to worry about being polluted with nitrates.

:P Sorry if this post has offended any peoples of Hebrew and/or Muslim faiths...or vegans. But bacon tastes good!  :P

I totally agree!  Take note vegan types: there is a product on the market that enables you to also enjoy the fantastic taste of bacon.  It's no replacement for the real macoy, but if you have to monitor your fat or salt intake or are vegan (Yes, it's not just vegetarian but vegan friendly) it is a beautiful thing.

I gave bottles of this out for X-mas and it was a HUGE hit with all my vegetarian friends.

Just fyi, I don't work for them or anything.

Japanese firm offers "heartache leave" for staff

TOKYO (Reuters) - Lovelorn staff at a Japanese marketing company can take paid time off after a bad break-up with a partner, with more "heartache leave" on offer as they get older.

Tokyo-based Hime & Company, which also gives staff paid time off to hit the shops during sales season, says heartache leave allows staff to cry themselves out and return to work refreshed. "Not everyone needs to take maternity leave but with heartbreak, everyone needs time off, just like when you get sick," CEO Miki Hiradate, whose company of six women markets cosmetics and other goods targeted for women, told Reuters by telephone.

Staff aged 24 years or younger can take one day off per year, while those between 25 and 29 can take two days off and those older can take three days off, the company said.

"Women in their 20s can find their next love quickly, but it's tougher for women in their 30s, and their break-ups tend to be more serious," Hiradate said.

Hime & Company staff can also take two mornings off twice a year as "sales shopping leave", so they can race to stores to hunt for bargains.

"Before, women could take half-days off to go to sales, but you'd have to hide your shopping bags in lockers by the train station," Hiradate said.

"But with paid leave, we don't have to feel guilty about bringing our shopping bags to work, and we can enjoy the best part about sales shopping -- talking about our purchases afterwards."

I love Jim. His bit about Hot Pockets is hilarious (and I work for Nestle which owns Hot Pockets which makes it even better for me.)

I've got a chocolate bar with chunks of bacon in it ontop of my refrigirator right now.....I'm serious.  It's actually pretty good.  Two of the main things people make fun of me for are my extreme love for Bacon and Cats......and my spelling.  ;)

[mjkoehler]

I would actually try that.

Britney Seeking Treatment for "Mental Issues"

No shit?!!  ;)

Britney Spears' longtime companion, Sam Lutfi, has revealed the singer has sought treatment for a series of mental issues. Lutfi called revered newswoman Barbara Walters over the weekend in a bid to clear up reports about the singer's health. And when Walters asked him if she could talk about their conversation during her morning show The View on Monday, Lutfi agreed. She told viewers about their chat, stating Lutfi referred to himself as Spears' manager. She revealed, "I can't vouch for this; he seemed to be very knowledgeable and he certainly was very nice. He said that Britney is suffering from what he describes as mental issues which are treatable. He said that she has been to a psychiatrist... she has been having mood swings, she's been having trouble sleeping... Whatever has been happening, she's now sleeping." Lutfi also told Walters that Spears has reconciled with her mother Lynne after a period of estrangement. Walters said, "She is in touch with her mother... and her mother has been very supportive." The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg admitted to Walters she wasn't surprised by Lutfi's comments, adding, "I said I thought there was something emotionally wrong. I think this girl has worked and worked... and she's burned out." Walters then revealed Spears had dumped her paparazzi boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, who went public with romantic details and taped messages the singer had left him on U.S. news shows last week. The TV host added, "I'm not an authority... but I believe she has moved away from this boyfriend."

My left eyelid has been twitching all day.  It's quite unnerving, but feels cool.  Any idea what might be causing this?  I was told lack of sleep, which would fit.
