No offense taken. I like sharing our viewpoints. No worries!

I <3 lentels. I didn't fully appreciate them until I went vege. I notice that I eat more internationally now. Most European-style dishes are based around meat. Indian and Oriental dishes have more flexibility for vegetarians.

Personally, the jump to vegetarianism wasn't that much for me. I don't like seafood, I don't like pork, I don't like dark meat poultry, and I'd stopped eating dairy except for a little cheese now and then as I'm allergic to it but since cheese is partially digested, it's easier on my system. In fact, I had been eating vege hotdogs awhile before I went vegetarian, as I don't like pork and I'm well aware how little of hotdogs are actually pork.

I don't mind vegetarian. I just can't stand vegan.

Liver..... ugh. I give it to my dogs, but I like onions. ^_^ Especially white onions. Mmmmmm.........

Must be cuz I'm Indian - onions exist in almost all forms of Indian cooking.

I can't eat them. I quite LITTERALLY have an uncontrollable Gag-Reflex to the taste and smell of white onions. Seriously. For some reason, the green onions we serve at taco bell are okay. Don't bother me at all. But even the smallest of our minced white onions turns my stomach. I've tried to eat regular white onions by brute force of will before... "GAG-COUGH!" nearly regurgitate my dinner (that I had eaten so far)

I also seem to have some kind of tolerance or intollerance of some kind to ... CAFFIENE... I've been keeping track of my acne like skin reactions, and noted over the past nine months that I get far worse acne and body acne symptoms after consuming even a small bit of the caffiene-ness. IT's not sugar, I drank enough caffiene free beverages to test it and stayed off it for a month, and I cleared almost completely up. I had a red bull the other day... (NASTY! Tastes like Benadryl! How can anyone drink something that tastes like cough syrup?!?) ...It's got a little caffiene in it... and what would you know, here I am, covered in sores again.

Looks like I'll be pulling all nighters the old fashoned way... lots of sleep before and after.

Jolt makes me not feel like I'm choaking on food. Just got back from the Emerg room after munching away on a Donair (normally no big deal) and I ended up feeling like my throat was closed for 4+ hrs.

Normally, Jolt saves me, but this time was just too much. -_- Man, it's exausting.

I'm going on a "Soup" diet I think for a while... Though I did finish that donair once I got home, so at least I know I'm not alergic or something to spices or beef.

Uh.... what's a Donair?

It's a German hamburger, If... you know... the hamburger wasn't invented in Germany too...

Yeah, like how the hot dog was originally called the frankfurter, nicknamed the Daschund sausage, and then called the hot dog.

I used to have a sausage dog, but she died.... hey Hooze, how good are ya at drawing compasses?

You know a compass tatoo won't actually help you find your way, right?

What if he's talking about a different compass? An angular compass might be pretty damned handy in trying to eyeball construction and whatnot.

Welll....

*shrug* It's kinda grown on me, y'know? ^_^ Anyways, I'd really like the compass that's on the NATO flag - I like that one.

You kids crack me up.

I can most certainly draw a compass for you. What style are you thinking? Old, nautical or like camping compass? If you find any reference pictures, send them my way.
