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!
Hi, I'm Shelley, I live in SW Florida near Ft. Myers, I have been Vegan for awhile, I never cared for meat or dairy the majority of my life, so it wasn't too hard to give it up. I've been married for 27 years to a super non vegan guy, and we have 2 boys ages 26 and 23 and I have 3 cats and 1 dog. My older son is married and he has 2 boys(I love being a nana) younger son just got engaged.I'm the only vegan in the family, but they all eat whatever I put in front of them. Hubby will eat meat outside of the house, so I don't have to cook it for him..he loves many of the vegan dishes I make, but he is not ready to give up meat and dairy.
Hi, MrMom. I had a lot of vegan cookbooks, but I gave them away (except for Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World and The Joy of Vegan Baking) because I found that I use the recipes here more.
Welcome, potatohead. There are a number of people here who are the only vegans in their household.
Hi Mrs. potatoeHead.... I love the name ..but I know What you are talking about my wife is a carnovor and rice eater and my daughters love their chicken and rice as well.... but I have to cook up thier meals for them. its even worse when i go out on a job with the catering company and i have to have someone else taste the food i am cooking...lololol thats pretty bad :)...
welcome ~^_^~
Thanks for the welcome everyone, I've lurked here for a couple of years. its a great place with tons of great recipies...I just love it...I look forward to talking with you all online
MrMom..my name comes from my love of potatoes...they are my main starch, I eat tons of them...I guess you could call me a potato freak ;D
I love potatoes more so than rice... but its bad enough that my head looks like a Mr. Potatoe head.... :-D ... potatoes are kool so
I love potatoes tooooo!
Just my 2 cents.
Helllloo VegWeb! I took a leave of absence from this fine community this past year to serve in AmeriCorps NCCC. The internet availability changed every 6 weeks, as did my amount of free time and amount of ME time. Not to mention the 8 weeks we cooked out of crockpots for 10 people..
Anyways, I'm back so this is my reintroduction.. I went to high school in New Hampshire (and my parents still live there so, I'm around those parts every now and again) and some of you may remember I worked at one of the 2 vegan spots in the state, Cafe Indigo. It's a great place to get a bite to eat and the cake is fantastic so if you're ever in Concord be sure to stop in!
After being on the West Coast for my corps year I decided it was where I wanted to stay so, I'm writing this from Berkeley, CA! I'm taking classes this semester at San Francisco State University but we'll see where my student loans are going this time next year. I work at a Peace Advocacy Group in Oakland called Peace Action West and I'm getting pretty psyched about doing so.
I love to knit and read and am excited to get back into my pre-AmeriCorps hobbies of yoga and beading as well as trying to adapt my thanks-to-AmeriCorps running addiction to the city streets. I love to make new people and so if you're in the Bay area, send me a message!
I would also just like to add that it is so great to come back and see the same faces around!
welcome back ~^_^~
welcome back!!!
Dude. You missed the San Francisco meet-up by a couple of weeks. Welcome back. :D

Well hello everybody! I'm 23 and live in Florida. I'm nearing my second anniversary to the most wonderful man ever and I have a 3 yr old angel who is my everything. I am new to vegweb and so happy that I found it! I thank all of you for wonderful recipes that have helped me in my transition from lacto vegetarian to vegan. I haven't worked in a year but, It has been a nice rest for me. I have been working since 15 and all through my pregnancy then back 1 week after a c section!!! So I have decided I have deserved this rest to enjoy my son. I'm thinking of going to nursing school but, I am not sure yet. It is so hot in florida right now but, by next month it should be getting better. My love to all. LaRisuena {Smiley}
