digest#214: soynog!, not preachin', Gary the lucky-ducky.

[Guest guest]

Anne, i just read your post that you found

some silk brand soynog at wallyworld. Dang,

guess i am gonna have to bite the bullet and

go get some from there. So far i have not seen

it in any of my healthfoodish type stores and

this year i am making sure i get some before

it sells out.

 

i am sorry to Anne and to Pat if my tongue in

cheek usage of the word witnessin' caused undue

confusion or upset. Was NOT my intention.

Now Donna and i laughed about this offlist that

witnessing in her neck of the woods is what the

cops make you do when you see a crime. *lol*

i guess in some areas of the world witnessing means

the same as being pushy and preaching about religion,

but that is NOT what i meant, k? Not in regard to

vegetarianism, and certainly NOT in regard to

religion. i am not pushy, preachy, or any-such-thing

about vegetarianism, and i wasn't trying to

imply Pat was either. i just meant that sometimes

when people we meet see our health, happiness,

and what is in our grocery carts, they witness [see

for themselves] a difference, and then they come

up and ask us. When people do that [approach me]

i am quick as a bunny to share, answer questions, etc.

i do not bring it up or preach about how i am better

or they should be this or that.

i ain't a veggie preacher, but i believe my lifestyle

does make a good " witness " to the world of the

benefits of a vegetarian diet. Hope this is more clear.

Big smiles to you both.

 

Gary, that was too cool that you got to see the Dalai

Lama! i have been able to see his interviews on

LINK TV before and they are always full of wisdom

and leave me with a warm feeling.

I'm sometimes asked " Why do you spend so much

of your time and money talking about kindness to

animals when there is so much cruelty to men? "

I answer: " I am working at the roots. "
