Yes, we've had two Bay Area Veg Fairs now - well worth a visit - get there early and get lots of free samples etc. We got to hang out with the great man himself, Howard Lyman, on the VegNews stand this year. Better make a note for Feb 2004 in your diary now so you don't miss the next one (and if you want to help out I can add you to the mailing list for volunteers - you get a free T shirt if you help out !).

Guest guest Report post Posted August 9, 2003 Ah, I see. Then you would have a tough time, as it's rather tough to get from Alameda County to Santa Clara County. But transit in the Bay Area beats the crappy transit system in the Orlando area, believe it or not.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 9, 2003 I lived in the 'burbs north of Orlando, the coverage was limited, buses would stop running around 6 or 7 pm--maybe 8 pm if I were lucky--and did not run on Sunday. They also ran maybe once an hour. Things improved slightly while I lived there, but not nearly enough. Before I left Orlando for good (except for visits), I learned that there would finally be Sunday service in my area. Too little, too late. The ex and I lived in downtown SJ for a while, then we moved west of downtown. Bus service was kinda spotty at night, but I could walk home from the mall, a major transfer point, if I had to. Orange County is just one big, vile, republican suburb.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 29, 2003 Hi Becky It's good to have you here. Now you have bought the shoes it is wise to use them rather than waste them. I did the same thing a few years ago, and it helped me decide that I would plan ahead so I didn't have to buy anymore leather shoes.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 8, 2004 i have loved animals my entire life, when i was born we had 7 pet cats. i have never lived a day of my life w/o having pets. when it actually sank in and i relized the pain and suffering animals went through for me, i decided it was cruel but there was nothing i could do about it, i was just too busy to change my diet, and i told myself that when i had a career and didn't have to worry about homework anymore, i would have more time to convert to a much healthier, vegan diet but then about a year ago my adorable rabbit, Luke (Skywalker) died and it just hurt so much that I had to stop eating animals. I thought to myself, I know I would never eat a rabbit, but what if some guy out there has a pet cow and would never eat a cow and thinks that people who eat cows are disgusting? I don't want to be a hypocrit, and so I just stopped eating all animals right away. it actually wasn't that hard I am still a busy person, but I find it much easier, now that I am already vegan, to prepare vegan foods than it is to marinate and cook meat. infact, i usually just eat fresh fruit or salads, I don't cook at all. occasionally I will have a vegan microwave dish. and also when you're vegan, if it's a healthy vegan diet , not just chips and salsa, you have more energy and don't get sick (i haven't been sick, maybe other people have though) and so you have even MORE time to do stuff so now i've realized that saying you don't have time is just a lame excuse, but i can understand how someone would THINK it, because before my bunny died, I felt the same way. I hope you find another way to easily make the transfer, guilt-free...a way that is different from mine -sheila _______________ Working moms: Find helpful tips here on managing kids, home, work — and yourself. http://special.msn.com/msnbc/workingmom.armx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been a vegetarian for about 20 years and the last 5 years I lean more toward vegan. My favorite foods are broccoli and tofu. Tomorrow for Christmas I have started a Gluten Roast for the main dish for my dd and myself. I am excited about this group and getting to know some other vegetarians and get some new recipes!!
