  1. I haven't donated in years, only because I have a very rare blood type and it is rarely needed.
  2. thanks for that Youtube link, Jeff! I haven't seen this before...I'm watching it now. I'm going to send this link out to everyone I know, including my family (who to this day gives me grief every Thanksgiving about not eating meat...I'm sure you've been there. LOL).
  3. Damn!! I joined too late for this..... Oh well. I hope you guys are having a BLAST.
  4. Hmmm...well, as I said I've been a vegetarian since 1991. As for why I became one, it was a pretty simple decision: I just felt it's unethical to eat other animals. That's it. So I stopped, cold turkey (no pun intended!). Haven't eaten meat since. I do occasionally eat cheese, but no milk. So I'm not a full vegan in that respect...that's why I still consider myself ovo-lacto. As for bodybuilding, a friend of mine got me into lifting weights when I was in the Navy. I started slowly in 1985, and have never quit. As I've aged, though, I've grown more interested in running than bodybuilding...primarily because it's easier on my body. I've run 9 marthons and 3 ultra-marathons, and hope to do more! I'm pretty heavy for a runner (because of the weightlifting), but I don't mind the contradiction. Living here in Portland is a runner's paradise, and I never seem to tire of being outside.
  5. You can use an avatar right away. Just upload it somewhere, like http://imageshack.us/ or http://photobucket.com/ (Photobucket requires registration but I recommend it since it stores the photos in your personal album for free ext.) Then put the url of the pic in "Link off-site" and you're fine. The url has to be "direct" so no .php=? stuff but a "direct link" from imageshack or photobucket. Or you can send the pic to our admin Richard and he can do it for you. Cool! Thanks for the tips...
  6. I have a picture for an avatar, but can't seem to figger it out! I assume I have to be a member for awhile before avatars are enabled...??
  7. I'm at the same gym, man! So far, I definitely like it. Good people.
  8. Anything by Peter Singer. Changed my life.
  9. Ovo-lacto since 1991. Bodybuilding since 1985. It CAN be done. Nice to see the article in WW, Robert!!! See you at 24-Hour Fitness in Hollywood.... ~Brad
