Roll Call!
Edit. The following intro is a bit old. I unfortunately ended my long term relationship after nearly ten years. Just couldn't be worked out. I got the house and the dogs and am relatively happy now. I finished my online RN to BSN program and am a genuine college graduate at the age of 48!!! Woot!
Edit #2 - I finally reached the ripe old age of 50 and am feeling fabulous! I always get the "you don't look 50" thing, and I attribute that to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
I deleted my Myspace page. I do have Facebook and love to have vegwebbers for friends. You can private message me and I'll give you my name. Or you can find me on the vegweb fan page.
Edit #3 - Finally went vegan. The last couple of years, I've been slowly getting there, replacing household and personal products with vegan items such as vegan soaps, candles, cleaners. I've bought vegan shoes, belts and wallets. I'm loving it! Decided to let my hair go naturally grey instead of coloring it so I don't get the "you don't look 50" thing as much anymore. LOL I now have a desk job in the admit-transfer center and hate it hate it hate. I just can't be stuck behind a desk, and I'm the lookout for something else.
Edit #4 - Found a position at the hospital I currnetly work on an ortho floor. I think I'll like returning to the bedside and not a desk job. w00t
It's been a while and I thought it might be nice to for everyone who posts here to tell a little about yourself. I took a little sabbatical from this site (went back to eating meat for two years..........bleech), but lurked from time to time, but have been a part of this site for gee, can it be 8 or more years???? But I don't know a lot of you.
I am a nurse. I am a male. (yes, a person who will remain nameless called me a "she".) I am gay. I've been in a monogamous relationship for the last nine years with a great guy who now travels a lot. I was an ovo-lacto veg*n for about 12 years before slipping, I plead insanity.
I'm currently in an online program to go from an ADN RN to BSN RN and hope to finally graduate from college at the age of 48 next year.
I have a very boring blog here: http://allnurses.com/forums/journal.php?do=showjournal&j=13
You're turn. Tell me your business!
welcome rob! the people here are insanely helpful if you need substitution advice!
hi rob, you are totally in the right place. when i first went vegan i found all kind of recipes that made the transition very easy. i felt like i could type in anything i was craving and get a recipe for it (and the site was much smaller then, too!). feel free to ask any questions on the boards, too.
rainbowdust919 - I can totally relate to your ex. In a totally non-creepy way. Even thought it didn't sound like that. I'll stop typing now!
Hi Rob! Yes, everything hespedal said :)
If anyone stalks my profile, it must be boring...b/c it's always the same.

I just joined here earlier this morning and looking forward to spending time on here and learning as much as I can. I'm so glad that I was told about this website as it looks great. I'm Jo, married to my best friend, have 3 adult children as well as 4 grandchildren and been blessed with 1 great granddaughter who will be 3 next month. We live in Southern Arizona and the rest of the family lives in Florida. We have some health challenges here and think that this website will be great for us.

Welcome ladijo - I am sure that you will find everything you're looking for here! Lots of great recipes and friendly folk! :)
I've been a user for a while, but I never did the roll call. D: Guess I should change that!
Anyway, my name is Jourdaine (jordan, not jor-DAIN), and I'm 18 years old, going to college in the fall as an art major. I'm a metal music journalist for a national website, which has been the best first job for me not just money-wise, but for the experience of getting press passes to shows, taking live photos, and interviewing bands. (: Oh and I have a terrible addiction to tattoos and piercings. I only have about 11 piercings and 3 tattoos right now, but it's slowly building up. xD
I was born and raised vegetarian and became vegan a year ago. My parents are pesco-vegetarian and my brother is a full out carnivore, but they always rely on me to cook the meals and it's always vegan. My boyfriend is vegetarian too, but he's thought about becoming vegan ever since we started dating. He's taken milk out of his diet because he likes soymilk better, so that's a start. I'm working on him... haha.
Anyway, nice to meet all of you guys! (:
welcome, jourdaine!
by the way, i love your name!
Hi,
I'm Liz, 59, married 31+ years with 5 kids and 5 grandkids. My husband has been a vegan for almost 17 years. I, after being a vegetarian for 10 years, joined him 7 years ago. One of our kids is a vegetarian chef. The others will eat anything, but are veg when they're home.
Hello. My name is Corinthia, and I found this website by looking for vegan recipes.
I'm new to the vegan life. Just started a few weeks ago. I used to eat lots of meat, but I started to think about it and I just can't do it anymore. It's kinda hard for me to find recipes that I would eat. I am used to very plan foods (ex: hamburger w/ nothing on it).
I'm turning 21 on the 4th of July, and I'm in school for biology right now. I hope to go to grad school for marine biology. I love sharks and all ocean life and I hope to help conserve what we still have with my degree.
I have 3 cats (Zoey-7yrs, Chloe-1yr, and Max-8months).

I also have two rats (Para and Kitty), and 8 geckos (Rex, Raine, Lucy, Lavender, Neo, Nanobot, LG, and Naranja). I also have 2 eggs that are incubating as well.
Just recently my mom found a bunch of snake eggs that I might take, hatch, and release back to the wild.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you :)
HI!
My name is Sara Lopez, but most people just call me Lopez.
I just joined this site yesterday and am loving it!
I have been veggie for about 3 and half months now and feel great.
I come from a Spanish family and live in Middle America, so needless to say, vegetarianism is still very foreign. I look to the net for support.
I do Social Media for a living, I work for 8th Continent Soy Milk. (If anyone wants a coupon- hit me up and I can give you a URL!)
So this pretty much means I blog, Facebook, Twitter, and reach out to people on a person-to-person bases to try to introduce them to 8th Continent soy milk.
I am fairly tomboyish- but there are two things that turn me into instant chick mode. Ya know the whole "awwwwwww!!!!" chick mode.
1- puppies and dogs
2- flying kites (I fly my kite at least once a week)
Anyways, I am in love with a man who is in school training to become a helicopter pilot. He is in the army. Please NOTE THIS!!! I am anti-war, but I support the troops. Way too many people get those things mixed up with each other. He is anti-war as well. So the Hippie and the Soldier meet. :-)
I love meeting new people and hearing other people's opinions!

It is great to meet all of you!!!
Hi!!
My name is Sonya, I'm almost 49 & I'm married to my best friend, in the whole world, John. We've been married 26 years, and have two awesome, adult, children.
We Love the Lord, & love to be together as a family. We also love to go on cruises!!
I have always leaned away from meat consumption, but, now and then, enjoyed chicken, turkey, etc. I always opted for no animal protein at all, if I had my choice.
My husband loves his meat, fish, poultry, you name it. So I have always cooked for him, as he liked. Several times, over the years, he's asked me to serve more vegetarian meals per week, for the sake of his health. So it's been a bit easier to incorporate vegetarian meals into our life style. I found VegCam a while back & signed up. Then I learned how to add recipes to my recipe box. Now I'm taking the time to learn the other aspects of this awesome site. I'd love to chat with anyone, who could help me understand a balanced vegetarian meal plan.
I'm an artist & I sell my one of a kind artwork on FaeBae.com. My storefront is Ooaklore.
I pitched VegCam on FaeBae's sister site, The Enchanted Ooak.com...Just trying to spread the good news about this site.
I just joined and haven't posted much yet. I'm 48, veg*n for 20 years ( mostly ovo-lacto but vegan for a few years and always vegan-leaning) along with DH, with whom I'm raising two vegetarian kids, now aged 17 and 13. We were married for a few years before we went veg*n, and our kids have never known any other way of life. We have 4 retired racing greyhounds, a pair of cockatiels, 2 9-yr-old goldfish, and a betta. I teach English as a second language and like learning languages, gardening, volunteering at our city's animal shelter.
I love the recipes on this site, all the more because I can see what people who try the recipes think of them. :howdy:
welcome to all of the new members!
please feel free to post and join us on the boards regularly!
Thanks Hespedal ! We rock!! ;)b
Hope you love it heree!!

haha. so true.
the other day brittney made the comment, "geesh, that's like your new myspace" and i was like, "what?! myspace doesn't even compare!" this is way better. ;)
Hi! My name is Kai, and I have been using this site for a few years. I am never good with intros so I will just list a few things about myself.
1. I have been a vegetarian for about six years (after numerous attempts at it as a child). I still use dairy products occasionally, but that is about it. I became a vegetarian mainly because I found the idea of eating a dead animal to be disgusting. There is also the fact that I am a Buddhist and don't want to inflict suffering onto others.
2. I am currently in the process of moving back to WA after spending some time in TN. Wish me luck since the moving procedure will involve a car full of three adults and three cats.
3. I have a bachelors degree in English, which I have yet to put to satisfactory use.
4. I am a happily married lesbian.
5. I love cooking, reading, rpgs, and hiking.
