The danger of eating too much liver is in its high content of cholesterol and vitamin A (retinol). 

Therefore everything should be within reasonable limits  ;)

I think that amateurs should refrain from discussing physiological subjects :(. I'm no doctor, but have a vague recollection that the foodstuff we eat is subject to a number of chemical 'break-down treatments' (such as by ptyalin in the mouth and hydrochloric acid in the stomach) before it ever reaches the liver from the intestine via the hepatic portal vein - the whole process being called digestion .

Therefore, I'd think that whatever is in what we ingest is unlikely to reach the liver in EXACTLY the same molecular form it had originally. Please do not speculate on what you know little or nothing about.

Toxins are eliminated with the bile, that's the primary function of a healthy liver.
One among many:

The liver plays a major role in metabolism and has a number of functions in the body, including glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis, hormone production, and detoxification.

- How do you resolve a conflict, argument, misunderstanding...?
- What is communication for you?
- What's the most important for you in a relationship and why?
- Faith, church, raising kids in this environment
- What responsibilities should husband/wife have?
- Traveling - how often, where, visiting relatives...
- Celebrating holidays
- Finances - what is expected from both, who will do paper work...
- Healthy eating habits
and so on


Those were all topics I put on 24 pages of paper with "A".  It was a good thing because there were a number of those topics we had never discussed before.  I was surprised that we agreed on most things.  She also asked me to explain finances to her and so I made a flow chart showing how much I spend every month and also explained how commission sales work because some months I get diddly and other months I get heaps.. though that may all change now.. but it is still relevant. 

I actually have a question for the ladies about holidays..

In Mexico there is an awesome holiday on Nov. 1, All Saints Day, or also known as Day of the Dead.  "A" had a big reaction to this name and did not even want to hear about a holiday that celebrates the dead.  At the time I thought it was because of the situation with her Father.. any thoughts?

Perhaps communication?
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else :)

Celebration may be the issue.  I do not know though.  Maybe she feels the dead should be revered and respected?

Another topic that I forgot to list: sex. What are her expectations, your expectations....

I found this topic to be difficult.

Mishenka, I think I shared my independent immigration plans on the fora even earlier :)

More than that, I just came back from the post office where I made my first step towards it ;)

As for the Polish woman who suggested a tourist visa, well, this is just a tourist visa, eh? For a little time as vacation and then back home? Not the good way to immigrate. Or did she imply eventual overstay of a tourist admission into the country? This is a violation, folks.

Lily, I met a woman here in SF about a year ago from Novosibirsk.  She came on a tourist visa and literally the day after she arrived went to immigration to change her status to a student.  She was granted the change and had to attend english classes at teh city college full time.  I know she planned and hoped to gain permanent status though I did not offer to marry her so she stopped returning my calls.. ;)  Anyway, my point is you can work the system to your advantage.  Once you are here there are ways to open doors that are not in violation of anything.  If you really want to come, just come!

Exacxtly the words she said.  I tried to explain that by going to the cemetary on this day, decorating the grave, bringing the dead persons fav foods and lighting candles was a beautiful way to show reverence and respect but she didn't want to hear about it.  I will probably have to be clandestine and just bring her to Mex to see because it is a really amazing and unique holiday.

My dears,

I see that this thread progressed into an obvious off-topic. Therefore it is locked.
Nevertheless, I feel that Celebrating the Dead might be interesting for some members as it contains some meaningful and related information. So I split the thread.

If any other opinions, please PM me.
Da, da, Canada; Nyet, nyet, Soviet!
