Just curious. I'm on the skimpy side, coming in at 5' 1/2". How much vertical space do you take up? :)

Hi everyone, I'm Poppy. I've been vegetarian for most of my adult life and mostly vegan for the last 14 years. I've been married forever, have two adult children, three granddaughters and three senior chihuahuas. I spend my time fostering small dogs, painting, traveling and creating amazing...

I just wrote in the Over 50 forum that I really don't have much use for clothes, as I haven't worked in many years and don't have a social life that requires dressing up for much. Which got me to thinking - what do I splurge on? I don't really collect anything, I tend to like my surrounding...

I recently met a local vegan farmer who vehemently refuses to use any animal material of any kind on his farm. He even rejects manure. That was the most interesting vegan position I've heard in a long time and I'd love to hear thoughts.

I thought this was a nice, succinct article about why many of us choose meat substitutes - and I thought their suggestions were spot-on. Except for the Chick'n Scalloppini, I've tried and enjoyed all of these. Why Do Vegans Eat “Fake” Meat?

It occurred to me this morning that I'm having a rare, but much appreciated "ideal day". My husband is traveling so I have the house to myself to make as much noise or rattling about as I please (he usually works at home), the weather was perfect for an early morning run (jog!) and some piddling...

In the vein of similar threads about things we bring into our lives, I thought it would be interesting to see what people do with their "stuff" when it no longer serves them. So this is a thread for posting things you recently donated, gave away, or otherwise removed from your life (other than...

Someone in another thread recently stated that they found Just Mayo in small jars in a dollar store. I was so surprised! I don't go into dollar stores, assuming they are full of horrid seasonal decorations and gobs of kitchen do-dads :p, and those things (being somewhat of a minimalist...

Growing up, we always had dessert following dinner (the evening meal). Mom baked, so frequently there was a small piece of cake or pie, but if not, there was always a dish of ice cream or maybe one or two cookies. My husband grew up having dessert before bed, not after dinner. He says they...

A friend and I exchanged dog care this weekend - she let my dogs out on Saturday and I returned the favor on Sunday. On Saturday she left me a note that ended with"PS - Some of us are really good housekeepers and some of us aren't. Your house was perfect. Don't judge me. :)" I felt a little...

I thought this was a very interesting article, and I'd be curious to know whether VVers agree or disagree. Over time, I think I've become more relaxed in my expectations of other vegans. It's been my experience that vegans online tend to be more "hard core" than those I meet in real life, so I...

So I'm curious as to which kitchen appliances VVers use most often, and which are a complete waste of money. (I know there's a bread machine in my pantry that hasn't been used in years and a giant crock pot :rolleyes:). My most used appliance is probably my Vitamix, and I use it all the time...

So today I bought my third vintage typewriter since November, which I think probably makes me a collector. I really don't think of myself as a collector of anything - except maybe foster dogs, but I'm afraid I have crossed the line and am now officially a collector! Here's today's little gem...

DH and I are going to host a fundraising event for Richmond Animal League here at the house on 4/19. We will probably have between 50 and 75 people. The theme is called "Dinky Dog Diner!" and I plan to serve diner style foods (all vegan!): Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches, Reubens, Chicken salad...

What is within walking distance of where you live or work? Do you get out and walk when you have to run errands, or do you have to drive? I now live within city limits, so I can finally walk to a few places. I can walk to two drugstores, a coffee shop (with vegan chocolates!), an Italian...

The lab report from my annual check-up just came back and apparently I'm vitamin D deficient. My level is 25 and the normal range is 32-100. My doctor wants me to take 2000 ius of vitamin D daily and repeat the test in 6 months. What advice can you give about vegan vitamin D supplements? Does...

I'm considering kenneling my dogs for the very first time when we go on vacation next month. In the past, I've always had pet sitters come to the house. But this time, our house will likely be for sale, and I just cannot imagine how to manage three dogs while there might be showings. My...

Please, please go to this site and sign the petition! Thank you! There is a motorsports park in Dinwiddie, Virginia which is planning to sponsor a "Bull Run" as a publicity stunt on August 24, 2013. They are contracting with a company out of Texas to hold this event. It is our understanding...

Before this issue came up on another board, I had never really given it much thought and had been of the opinion that of course, fish eggs (roe) weren't vegetarian. But I was told that I was wrong, and that since chicken eggs were vegetarian, of course fish eggs were too. Are they? o_O

I was so excited when I found Daiya Cheddar slices at Whole Foods last night. I bought 2 packs! :sigh: And dang! I'm so disappointed. I really like the Daiya cheddar block (granted, it does NOT taste like cheddar cheese - more like Velveeta) and the Monterey Jack block but the slices seem kind...
