The older I get, the more guilty I feel of even squashing an ant in my home -- they are living forms like us and we should be treating them with respect and give them space to thrive as well. And if this means setting up protected reserves

similar thing here -- I am in my mid 30s and I have just quit eating chocolates, junk food, sugary stuff, sodas, etc just 2-3 weeks back. It was painful, I still get headaches but I know its worth it. Next phase is exercising more frequentl

by m23khan 7y ago
did you go to cineplex or iMAX? Those are the ones I am talking about. Otherwise, I dunno, maybe the locality/jurisdiction/state you live may have laws allowing for alcohol in cinemas.
