ice is yummy

Especially when covered in flavored syrup.

How is everybody doing.

I didn't know about your hangout thread Ava! But here I am, because I love everything natural. I'm in to reusable, recycling, natural organic products. I'm also vegan, and a yogi, so I'm kinda hippy but don't think I look it :)

I take natural things for pain and such.

Sweet! :D
I love naturalistas. :) I love everyone, though. xD

I just recently tried going vegan for a month. I am vegetarian but I thought, hey, I'll try vegan and see how I like it. I tried it, I liked it. So since then I've stopped consuming dairy and I don't eat a lot of eggs anymore anyway, so that's not an issue. I prefer agave nectar over honey, so that was easy. Overall, it was a really simply switch and I felt better being vegan than I did vegetarian. I am a lot more "regular" now that I don't eat dairy. :D

Yoga is awesome. :D I wish I were proficient in Yoga and Klingon.

I like dairy to much to be vegan

I've tried to b a low grade vegetarian but my love of hotdogs and hamburgers got the best of me.... I'm a werecarnivore

I like me some steak.

Well done with mushrooms and a1 sause.

You are not the first person I have known that pot has given them adverse affects.
It works for the folks it works for...but it doesn't work for those it doesn't work for!
What kind of natural remedies do you use for pain?

Fish oil... No joke.

My pain remedy is tears.

I think my remedies for pain depend a lot on the type of pain.
I have varying amounts of pain tolerance.

I can handle cramps like a champ. 8D
But things like toothaches or head aches, I can't take that well.

Got no pain tolerance anywhere.

That's great, Ava! I'm so glad you made the switch and found it so easy. I kind of feel the same, I started changing things like not eating dairy and and no eating meat and then one day I decided not to eat eggs anymore. It just felt right. Especially after seeing videos online explaining the dairy industry and how horrible and destroying the meat and dairy industries are on our planet. We all have the freedom of choice in our diets. If I can survive just fine (and more healthily!) without hurting another being, why wouldn't I choose that? There is so much cruelty in the world and I don't want to be putting money into the pockets of the industries that abuse and exploit animals.

Kirin and the Cheshire Pisces: The thing is, yeah meat and dairy tastes good but do we always give in to things that feel good? Do we not have self control when we see something we like in a store, enough that we don't steal it? Being without animal products is not to deny yourself of something you like, but to be aware of where our food comes from and to consciously choose not to be the cause of suffering.

Hey, Ava....I hope you are having a good day!
I just thought I'd invite you over to Dazzlingdreamberry's Clubhouse to read some cute Hope stories.
Please try to ignore the intermittent pity parties I throw for myself in there! Lol!
I just thought, if ya hadn't already, that you might enjoy some recent Hope stories. !

It is so terrible what the meat and dairy industry does to those poor animals. I don't watch those videos because I know they will traumatize me. I don't like being traumatized, so I don't watch. It really, really makes my blood BOIL when I see animals being abused. I mean, it literally makes me so mad I could throw something. I hate it.

I stopped feeding into that terrible abuse. I still buy eggs because my dad is not vegan, but the eggs we get are from local farmers that we know personally, who don't abuse their chickens and they are free range and vegetarian fed. It helps that we know these people personally and that we've gone to their farm before to see the chickens in good health and quite happy.

I was actually vegetarian for a long time, but never thought to go vegan. I would always get milk and eggs from local farms because I knew there was no abuse, but I never thought to make the switch until I read one of my favorite actresses (Jessica Chastain) was vegan and I thought... Hm... I'll just try it and see. And I felt so much better being vegan than I ever did as a vegetarian. Without cheese I have pooped more frequently, which I find awesome. I have lost weight, I just feel better. I wish more people would try vegan or at least try vegetarian and see how great it makes you feel.



Hey there, Inzane!
I'm definitely going to check out that Clubhouse. :) I love hearing about Hope.

i didn't read your paragraph, Ava the Vampire
i would so be a veggiesauras if i thought about it
when i was really little i was anemic, badly, so whatever
i liked to eat i got it alllll the time. one thing was chicken noodle soup
until i saw my father's mother kill my favorite chicken!!~do not name chickens~
i never understood why i wasn't supposed to name the chickens..,.until that very day.

Awwww. I'm sorry.

I can't. Chicken and bacon are just too good. Plus, I'm picky enough.

Amane: Maybe one day you will make the connection, it is very possible

Ava: That's great. I would possibly eat eggs if I could see with my own eyes where they are coming from and be happy with the situation, but I also just feel like I don't need to, so maybe if there was nothing else? It's so nice to hear you feel much better now.
The abuse makes my blood boil too. 'Humane' slaughter? I don't think so. What goes on is horrific.

I ignore the talk about what goes in food because I don't buy my own food and I'm already picky enough. I know the basic rule is, if it tastes delicious, it's most likely horrible for you and will kill you in two weeks. So, if you haven't guessed, I've been skating past these posts.
/I've always eaten my fruits and vegetables so BAM
