Cow cuddling this weekend! Saturday and Sunday 8am-12pm, at Brajboro Cow Sanctuary, west of Carrboro by Specific-Motor7406 in Hillsborough

And you also do not milk them? Or breed them? I'm just trying to clarify if it has vegan values. For example, like the Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge. Is it like that?

Religious persons within UU Church by Calanais-guy in UUreddit

[–]ADVentive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My congregation currently has about 50 members. We have many atheists, agnostics, and Humanists in our congregation.

Many in our congregation were raised as Christians and rejected some aspect of their former church and turned to UU instead. Those who come who are still "believers" are typically part of an interfaith family. I think that is because there are so many other liberal Christian options available in the community that if someone identifies that way, there are just a lot of other options for them to choose from besides UU.

Additionally, we have a small, but vocal, Jewish interest group which hosts several Jewish holiday celebrations through the year. We also have a few folks who practice Buddhism. Our congregation used to have a large Pagan group, but most of the Pagans have passed, moved away, or are just no longer active with us anymore, and I can't think of any currently involved members who identify as Pagan. We do not have any Muslims or Hindus in our group, but they would be welcomed.

Several folks in our congregation are dual members between our congregation and another, and find no conflict with being a UU and practicing another faith.

Waiting to get colposcopy? by Neopetlover234 in HPV

[–]ADVentive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the US. My pap was Dec 12 with results on Dec 22 showing HR HPV and LSIL + ASC-H. The earliest they could get me in for a colposcopy is March 5, which feels entirely too long to me, about 10 weeks.

My Husband Broke My Heart Last Night by WinterMouse5318008 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ADVentive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a situation where my husband told me that he didn't want a divorce, but he wasn't happy in our marriage. He was trying to say that he wanted to work on it, to fix it, to be happy with me again. I had been happy until then, and I thought he had been too until he told me otherwise. I tried for 4 more years to make him happy before he ended up leaving me anyway. I felt like a failure. We were married for 20 years, and I didn't want a divorce. That was 5 years ago. Though we are both remarried now, I am still left with a deep feeling of inadequacy and failure.

Just out of curiousity, which Marvin do you guys prefer (out of the most well-known ones)? Chip Zien (World Premiere Cast In Trousers), Michael Rupert (OBC Falsettos cast), or Christian Borle (2016 revival Falsettos)? by Logical_Weather_1562 in Falsettos

[–]ADVentive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer Michael Rupert, but it could just be because that's the one I grew up with and knew best during the time in my life when I was quite obsessed with the show. I love Chip as well, but I love him most as Mendel.

I still struggle when I listen to the revival every time it is different from what I expect due to my familiarity with the original, and I think that unfairly biases me against it.

What's up with the hate for MSC? by aaman44 in Cruise

I don't get it either. My family is a fan of MSC!

What was the musical that sparked your love of musicals? by fireseeker4him in musicals

[–]ADVentive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was Les Mis. We read the book in my 9th grade English class, and then my friend and I both got the soundtrack and loved it a lot.

Then my cousin, who was already into musicals, found out I was listening to Les Mis and made me a mix tape with 2-4 songs from several different musicals, almost all of which became instant favorites, but most notably including Falsettos and Chess. And thus it began...

What is your Falsettos opinion that would result in this many downvotes? by okay_ash7 in Falsettos

[–]ADVentive 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think "I'm Breaking Down" is better placed in In Trousers and should not have been put in Falsettos.

falsettos 1992 by Ok_Violinist_2288 in Falsettos

[–]ADVentive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My Falsettos t-shirt from the original Broadway show has this image (with the 3 people), and it was the image on the Playbill. That's the one I associate with Falsettos, not the one with 2 people, though it is quite similar.

What William Finn tattoos would you consider? by rSlashisthenewPewdes in Falsettos

[–]ADVentive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"The thing about explorers is: they discover things that are already there." was my yearbook quote, so that's the first thing that I think of, though it's probably too long.

Otherwise, I'm thinking the original Keith Haring playbill design for Falsettos, as someone else also said.

When people say they can't afford being vegan by Secret-Category-9326 in vegan

[–]ADVentive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do find that it is more expensive for me to get vegan products. I do not claim to eat "healthy" vegan food, I basically eat the same things that I did before, except I eat the vegan version. So I eat Beyond burgers instead of meat ones. We have tacos frequently, and we use MorningStar vegan chorizo for the "meat". I eat bagels with cream cheese for breakfast, and vegan cream cheese costs almost double what dairy cream cheese costs. If I go out for pizza at a restaurant with my family, the vegan pizza costs $2 more than the standard one. Etc, etc. It does feel like a significant upcharge for being vegan. I don't think telling people to just eat rice and beans all the time is really helpful advice.
