Tofu's not soy though...isn't it more of a fungus type thing?

Or am I thinking of Quorn? I was one of the first people ever to cook with Quorn :-)

Tofu IS soy. It's smashed, gooped, smushed, boiled, CHEMICALLY PROCESSED, and made into cakes. Don't eat it. It's icky. lol

Yeah I thought so! It is definitely soy. It's like the vegan equivalent to Mc Donald's chicken nuggets. LOL smashed up, processed crap.

I've had tofu before and it's horrible and is soy. Has no taste and feels like rubber! My friend is vegan and eats it all the time - she quite pious about her veganism so I might wind her up with Jenaya's 'vegan equivalent to McDonald's chicken nuggets' quote!!!

So I was wondering... I know they have colonics to help clean out the contents of your colon. Shove some water up your bum, then let gravity bring it back out with all the nasty gunk with it. Wouldn't it be cool if they had something similar for your uterus? I mean, I'd GLADLY empty the contents in one setting rather than draw it out over 7 days... Why hasn't anyone invented that yet?

OMG YES OUCH. Also I don't think the bleeding is just a pool of blood sitting in there on reserve. I think it is actively shedding for 5 days so you'd have to scrape it all to get it out at once.
Ok ew I'm giving myself the hee bee gee bees. But it was a nice thought! I'd love to get it done all in one shot.

Ok I have a question..
When do you use "whom" vs. using "who" or "whoever."

oh geez. this will really betray what a major dork I am. Just keep in mind I taught 6th grade. That's my excuse for being this big of a geek.
Here are the rules:
"whom" is the objective case, "who" is the nominative case. So, you use "whom" when the word is directly receiving the action of a verb or preposition (prepositions being things like "like" "to" "from" "with" "through" "into" etc--things that denote direction of an action or relationship between actors, but aren't verbs or nouns. So:
1. Whom shall we invite to the party? In this sentence, "whom" is the object of the verb "invite"
2. From whom should I get the data? In this sentence, "whom" is the object of the preposition "from".
It only gets really tricky in complex sentences, in which "who" is both the object of one clause and the subject of another. In this case, its role as subject trumps its role as object, and you use "who":
1. The prize goes to the contestant who collects the most points. In this case, "who" is both the subject of the verb "collects" and also an appositive for the noun "contestant", which is the object of the preposition "to". However, the role as a subject is stronger than the role as object, so you say "who collects" not "whom collects"
2. He tells that story to whoever will listen. Again, "whoever" is the object of the preposition "to" but also the subject of the verb "will listen", so subject role is stronger and you say "whoever will listen" not "whomever will listen"
Now I'm blushing.

Well at least you know! I had to embarrassingly admit how much of a tard I am with grammar. I usually just go with what sounds right and don't know all the fancy rules. I appreciate the lesson!
