Looking for Friends
Posted by Capture on Jul 01, 2007 · Member since Jul 2007 · 3981 posts
Hi everyone!
I'm not sure if this is a site friendly way of doing this, but I am a born again vegetarian (had a prolonged meat eating experience...) and I have no vegetarian/vegan friends and I am looking for some new friends for help and support, or just to complain about the latest animal cruelty I found out about via PETA. I would really appriciate any and all who are willing to hang with me*smiles*
And if this was not cool to post, I apologise!

;D You've found the right place. We use the "Recipe Q&A" label as our cover. A bit about us - we're vegan for lots of different reasons here, not just for animal rights reasons, and try (usually successfully) not to judge. If you do post about animal cruelty issues, I'm sure you'll soon meet davedrum. He's our resident animal-conscience guru.
Hi HH!!! thanks for putting me at ease, it's hard to know the lay of the land on a new board! I'll be sure to look out for davedrum as I could really use a sympathetic soul to vent about the horrors of animal cruely! I'm not vegan yet, but I hope to achieve that one day. For right now I am just focusing on one day at a time and eating a pure as I can. thanks again!!!

Greetings to you, Capture.
I only started posting on this board earlier this year and found the folk here most kind, compassionate, creative and very down to earth.
Glad to have you with us and congratulations for being a born-again Veg. Hallelujah!
Saskia
are YOU going to the animal rights conference in las Angeles?!? I cant convince anyone to go with me...
We are all friends here in vegweb.
hi Saskia, Veghead and Startaurus! thanks for the warm welcome!!! I really appriciate the welcome!!! I wish I could go to the conference in Los Angeles, but since I live in Michigan and have no money, it is too far of a trip for me to make :'( but thank you for the invite, if there is anyting happening up here, I'll be there!
Thanks again guys and gals!

Hi Capture, welcome!
I think you've found your ideal community. Glad you're aboard.
Hi, welcome. VegWeb is soo helpful, and inspirational. It's nice to talk to people who are like-minded as well. I think you will enjoy being a part of the group.
A few of us have formed friendships where we email privately about anything. Girl talk and worrying about husbands especially.
Welcome to VegWeb. I think you'll find the place interesting and pretty friendly overall. Glad to make your acquaintance.

Thanks again!

Awwh... now I almost feel left out. Okay. Not really. ;D

Don't feel left out Humboldt! I don't email anybody on here, but I feel everyone here are my Vegweb friends.
Welcome to VW, Capture. You found the right place to be. Most boards are full of rude people, but this one is different. Everyone is so helpful and kind. I can't thank these people enough for helping me. They were so helpful to me when I went from lacto-ovo to vegan. I'm no "vegan-pro" by any means, but that's what Vegweb is for ;) So, I try to return the favor by helping others.
Thanks. :) That's really nice of both of you.
I think because I'm scientist and I spend most of my day with men, I am not so much geared towards girly or relationship talk. I think I might actually physically suffer when faced with the prospect. Both of your responses are really nice, though. That's just the reason I like vegweb so much. You rock!
OMG! You can totally be girly with me! I don't have very many girl friends so I always need someone to dish with and just be super girly!
:)
This reminds me of the more honest and straight-forward days of childhood, where you made friends by purely asking them to be your friend. How much easier would life be if we all still did that. So, Capture will you be my friend?
Welcome Capture!!!!
So glad you joined the board. I too have 'messed' up in the past and then beat myself silly. I have finally decided we are all doing the best we can. Whether it is one indiscretion or nine years of indiscretions, we are all on a path.
This board is very loving and caring. Mess ups are OK!
I am not vegan and have never felt bad being on this board. I am ovo-lacto.
I am happy you joined and welcome you. We can all be friends because over the months and years, many of us have bonded and never met each other.
Sometimes we often disagree and more than often we agree. None the less, we are all here for each other.
Once again, welcome to the board!!!!

Welcome, Capture!
