What made you stop the vegetarian thing? Vegis rule!

Which "illicit drugs" have you tried? I've tried stuff too, didn't like most of it either.

 

You aren't the first person on this thread to have been a vegetarian for a number of years. What changed? Just curious.

I used to own a 1969 MGBGT. I LOVED that car. But, I couldn't afford to continue fixing it. One day, I'll buy a rebuilt MGB.

MGB, how cool would that be!

I stopped being a veg because I had been craving meat for a couple of years (no dirty jokes intended) and realized my body needed it. Plus I was anemic and the iron supplements were really starting to hurt my stomach. I began eating fish and so quickly felt a mental fog lift, felt my thought processes clear and quicken, it made a huge positive difference for me.

Back in my crazy teen years, I'd tried X, and some of the "natural" drugs like 'shrooms and pot. Just really didn't enjoy it. It was a control issue I think.

 

I seriously think we're twins. Which is completely fantastic!!!

 

It was a very fun car to drive. I miss it.

Ah, okay. Makes sense. Thanks for the answer. :smt023

 

Damn skippy!!!!!!!

 

I feel much healthier being vegetarian. I was anaemic when I was pregnant but I have a pretty good diet so I'm good. Even if I had to I don't thinK I could eat meat, I just find it a bit odd. Of course I'm an animal lover so I can't bring myself to do it anyway. I can't even remember what it tastes like. I love pasta and vegetables so I'm okay for now. I eat Quorn sometimes, don't really like it though.

I've tried pot, which is cool, I've tried x too, which I hated. I admit there were a few months where I was going out all the time and doing stupid things. One night after trying what I found out was speed I stopped all that. I couldn't sleep and was really paranoid and shaky. My brother's best mate killed himself while high on party drugs too, which was a bit of a wake up call. I just felt like I needed an escape.

Why do you despise dogs? Did you have a bad experience with one?

 

My husband has one. It is BIG and it lives inside. We live in a unit. I have a bit of a problem when it comes to mouth noises, they drive me CRAZY.

I never really liked, nor overly disliked dogs before this, but I have been pushed over the edge - this dog drives me craaaazy.

I am a bird person =)

 

i didn't have dialysis...and no on going problems...they let me out of the hospital once after a couple of weeks and after just a couple of days i had to go back...to be honest they settled on ecoli after doing every other test known to man at the time...they pricked and prodded at me for days trying to figure out what was wrong with me...i had just arrived home from mexico...started not feeling well on the trip home...went to bed and 3 days later my dad broke into my apartment and hauled me off to the hospital...the place i was working became alarmed when i didn't show up...i'm sure i contracted it from food of some kind that wasn't prepared properly
