Personally I've never even had fun on New Years anyway...its no different than any other day other than the fact that there's a big ball that drops.

No it's not any different than any other day, but it is a time when people have parties and things like that. You don't have to have fun because it's New Year's, but you can have fun hanging with friends somewhere if it's going to happen anyway.

You don't need alcohol to party on New Year's anyway. I've never been drunk on New Year's (actually I've never been drunk), and there's plenty of fun things to do aside from alcohol.

Hey, welcome to the forums.

Too bad it wasn't up last summer, Chesty Leroux and I would've went.

The fact that I'm leaving the East Coast again tomorrow morning.

Your daughter skipping out on the guacamole is proof that she's related to you.

Awesome that you were state champs!

 

I suck at it, but love the sport! I especially like playing on the beach too.

 

Maybe during Vegan Vacation we'll bust out a game!

 

P.S. I'll be in SLC on the 3rd but just at the airport for 2 hours on my way back home.

Aw man, I can't even imagine how a game of volleyball would unfold on the beach in Oregon with how windy the beach was, that could be interesting.

Oh wow, with the way everything was being scheduled, I figured it was a week or two after VV.

Awesome. Have fun in California, and let us know when you're hitting up a certain other state that doesn't seem to get much winter.

Where is the AR conference?

I eat primarily dried beans now, mostly black beans and sometimes lentils.

I have to get my plane ticket before the 1st of January, is there anyway to find out when I should fly out before that?

Death shouldn't occur unless you are getting toxic levels of preformed vitamin A (animal-based). All plant-based vitamin A is in precursor form so your body won't make more than it can use. Maybe there exists a condition that would allow your body to make toxic levels of vitamin A from precursors, but I haven't heard of it.

Is the precursor water soluble too? That's something I've always wondered.

@ Odidnetne....Oh dear god. Please. Don't wear the towel.....err...I mean......wear something......As in clothing. whew that was ackward.

 

I walked around Portland only wearing that towel like it was an F'ing Toga.

 

I do not recall that.

I was obviously kidding.

How does that kill you?

Rabid Rabbits become attracted to you and attack?

People *LOVED* the towel pic, I walked around Portland only wearing that towel like it was an F'ing Toga.

He wasn't talking about being smarter. He's talking about things that we don't need to focus on. We don't need to focus on finding out our own food, because it's primarily available to us at stores, so the art of finding it isn't followed. We don't need to figure out ways to stay warm at night or to fight off predators, because we have 4 walls and a roof to keep us safe at night.

Welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the forums.

I've been eating a lot of BBQ tempeh since I got back to PA and a lot of salads, and fruits inbetween. My food isn't optimal here (I'm missing really really fresh fruit in Texas), but I'm doing okay.

Ditto, my hair changes color in season, but has nothing to do with my rice versus peach intake.

Ill tell you one thing... your fruit wont turn out like the stuff in stores. Why? All the dried fruit you buy in stores has sugar on it! The sugar is what keeps it from shrinking and shriveling. I have a dehydrator. I went for months making different things. One thing you can make is fruit rollups. Just pour in apple sauce and turn it on. Thats it!

That sounds awesome, I would have never thought of that.

Damn, 810, good stuff.

I had it tested when I first went vegan. I forget the actual score, but it was "Really good" said the doctor. I don't know if "really good" means all the running and healthy eating I was doing at the time, or if "really good" is for people who eat lean cuts of meat and take cholesterol pills.

Congrats Rob, you finally hit the big 10K posts.
