Prompt: Can you give me the pros and cons for and against spaying or neutering pets? Assistant:

I will do my best. I think neutering or spaying is the process of removing the sex organs of a pet, to prevent them from reproducing.

However, it can also be a disadvantage since it is an invasive surgery, and the pet may be hurt by it. Also, many people believe that the pet’s hormones are put out of balance by the surgery. That is one of the reasons to do it as an adult pet instead of a young pet, in my opinion.

But then there might also be a small percentage of people who didn’t play sports in college, and they make it in.  Or maybe a lot of people are making it in, but it’s just the percentage of college athletes is small.

Is there anything else you’re noticing in this situation?

The phrase has been used in a variety of contexts, including in a popular song and in a movie.  The most common form of the saying is attributed to a 12th-century Jewish rabbi who was having a particularly bad day.  Apparently he lamented how there was no medicine or other remedy for his troubles, saying “Go and learn a lesson from my troubles: when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”  Many people have changed the original words to their own ends, like adding a word like “be” or “and” or “or” before “make”.
