Things meat eaters say and do

[fiamma]

I've got to admit I thought the same thing :D Lucky you moving to Oz - where are you moving to? You are moving, right? Or did I just dream that up?

[Haniska]

Yet another reason for the for manager to laugh at me. :p
"No, there's no fish in the marinara! Haha"
"I Said it's vegetarian minestrone!"

Of course there is no way for him to know how many veg cans of soup I've picked up with broth in them.

[tilly]

I am so upset and angry right now! :mad: :(

My best friend's mother thinks that I manipulated him to become a vegetarian!
She said If I cared about him I'd take him as he was.
All I did was open his eyes to the suffering that eating meat causes!!!
Anyway, if you really care about someone, why would you fill their body with artery clogging crap?!?! :mad: :mad: :mad:

[fiamma]

It sounds like she has other issues and that you are the softest target. She maybe also feels that her position as a mother is somehow being "undermined", but this is her problem, not yours. After all, your boyfriend is old enough to make his own decisions, right?! Try not to worry about it - you did the right thing "converting" him. :) Good on you.

Just had a thought - she has probably realised you are working for the Vegan Secret Police. In that case she has a right to be worried, I've heard their methods are merciless. Brainwashing innocent men into renouncing all animal products. I've heard they're set to take over the world, slipping tofu and blackstrap molasses into everything. :-)

Maybe when she sees how much healthier he becomes Tilly she will change her mind!

awww well you could maybe just ask what is in it, rather than if it has fish or broth or not, because then hopefully they will let you know when they tell you the ingredients! They might not always know though..! :o

He's lost over a stone since going vegy (He was overweight to start with) and he's more interested in animal rights now,
and he's less angry.

She just hates my guts :rolleyes:

[sandra]

Ha ha Tilly, you were right and she was wrong! I wish my husband could lose weight, he's vegetarian but can't lose weight, I've told him to go vegan!

[tilly]

Men :rolleyes:

[Kevster]

Men :rolleyes:

Ahem

[Glen]

Ahem
Damn right!

[Jamie]

I'm vegan and I'm certainly not losing any weight! :o and I need to.

As for this men :rolleyes: thing.. ;) I'm sure one of them will put in a women :rolleyes: thing soon! It's only fair! lol :P

[tilly]

'Cept you of course, Kevvy babe.
You're a perfct specimen of manhood! ;)

If his mum cares about him, she should take him as he is (a vegetarian).

[madpogue]

Men :rolleyes: So your best friend, a man, is being dissed for becoming veg by his mother, a woman.... :rolleyes:

[Jamie]

It's like I have ESPN or something. :p

[sandra]

Come along now boys, it's all meant in good fun!

[madpogue]

It's like I have ESPN or something. :p Oh, man, this reminded me (topic creep alert...); did y'all hear about the couple, a few years back, that named their kid "Espn", because they were such big ESPN fans? And no, this was NOT an Onion article.

[sandra]

Do you believe in E.S.P madpogue?

[Jamie]

never heard of it MP!

[madpogue]

Do you believe in E.S.P madpogue? I knew you were gonna ask that!

[Rim-shot] Sorry. I dunno. A lot of things happen for reasons we don't really understand, or can't explain in purely mechanical terms. We communicate and understand and "know" things in ways that def'ly aren't verbal (or visual, tactile, etc.). So yeah, I'd call that "extra-sensory". Unfortunately, all the noise we've created in our physical world has blocked these connections so severely, that when such thing do happen, they seem "freaky". JMHO.

[Oh, man, the topic police are coming; act like nothing's happening....]

[sandra]

Yes I agree, there is definately something in E.S.P. A couple of times I have heard someone come in my front door and walk up the hall when I go to look there is no one there, then a couple of minutes later someone like my husband or son actually does come in, just as I'd heard them earlier. Maybe this is a common experience for people, I don't know, but it freaks me out! Have you experienced anything strange, apart that is from this conversation with me ha ha!

[princessemma]

Sorry to go off the subject but Jamie is that your hamster in the picture?

[Haniska]

Could we start an esp thread? That would be totally cool. I warm to the subject.

[sandra]

Good idea Haniska!
