I'd love to go! It looks like we won't be able to go this year due to a schedule conflict for my bf. But hopefully 2008 will work out

Well hopefully it was just a one time thing. I will be giving it at least a week off, since I'm going away on vacation and don't plan on doing any weights while I am there (no access to a gym, for starters!). I will be doing some kayaking and hiking, and lots of walking around, so the week won't be an entire write-off

That's an interesting point, but I'm not so sure about that. The only time I had the problem was the day after increasing weights for basically all of the exercises I do (which aren't that many at the moment). Not to mention that the pain was there before I started writing that day, but just intensified with that movement. I've always done a LOT of writing (let's say I spent more time in university than I really should have) and have never had this sort of problem before.

Ok, I am so new to this I had to Google 'peck deck'

I agree with you 100%. Well, except for the stepping on roaches thing. When I see one, I stomp and tell it to go to where it came from. We're cool as long as it stays on the floor. And it doesn't bring back friends. I'm just perturbed about eating bug eggs because it's nasty. Yuck.

But then one must worry about the dreaded 40!!!

Thanks

Oh wow that looks amazing. I'm really considering going. I'm in Miami, so Ft Lauderdale is only a 45 minute drive away. A vegan cruise... how sweet would that be!?

I have a personal moral opposition to eating at McDonald's. It's been years since I've bought anything there. There was something about them outright lying about 1) the beef flavoring in their fries and 2) the dairy and wheat in their fries that just rubs me the wrong way. I don't want to support a company like that, regardless of what they do and do not sell. Not to mention the fact that I would never trust that their vegan burger was in fact vegan.

Wow, I had no idea that rice could do that to birds. Duly noted.. thanks for the heads up. We had a batch of rice from the local farmer's market develop a lot of lovely little bugs in it (we bought it before we realized their storage methods for dry products aren't the best - everything had an off taste to it). The creepy part is that means the eggs for the bugs were already in the rice. Yuck. I wonder how many bug eggs I've eaten in rice

I'd like to know more about this as well. The only fur I can find on their shoes on their websites is faux fur.

So do I! It seems like a great place

Hi I definitely recognize your name from VB. Nice to see a familiar face.

Not elderly in the least, despite my upcoming birthday that is getting a little too close to 30 (I will be 28 ).

Thanks for the tips! I actually had some slight discomfort in my elbow last night when I wrote that so I was expecting it to be worse today (as it was before), but today I am pain free. I will take it slowly and listen to my body because I don't want any more problems (have issues with my knee).
