(stop:)]If that's the case then maybe you can help me out. I'm trying to decide between these two. As far as I can see this one has more vitamin B, which is what the doctor recomeded when I got injured last year.
But this one has more protine, which is good for building muscle.

Well I'm actually undecided, because you know, as far as I can see this one has more vitamin B, which is exactly what the doctor recommended since I got injured last year.
But I'm in the recovery process now, so I wounder if I should just get the one with more protein instead.

[[ It's a possibility. Not often, but it's always a possibility. I won't sit here & lie to you about it, obviously the uniform looks just like the army uniform, because it is.

So I say a possibility because there's always a chance, it's not as likely as them because we also have a state mission.

I didn't know that, & I can see where your coming from. But having the government own me, & making decisions for me about where I'm suppose to live, or the type of cloth's I'm suppose to be wearing. Is just not the type of things I want for myself.

That maybe so, but either way, I can't necessarily agree with that. But you've definitely given me something to think about, and it's been a pleasure meeting you but I'm in a hurry so if you'll excuse me.That may be, but having the government own me, & making decisions for me about where I'm suppose to live, or the type of clothes I'm suppose to be wearing. Is just not the type of things I want for myself.I didn't know that, & actually that's a good point. But I'd rather pay for myself, if them paying means they now own me & can make decisions for me, about where I'm suppose to live or the type of clothes I'm suppose to be wearing. These are the type of things I want to decide for myself.That's a good point, & I do respect that. Either way, it's the way I feel.
