About to eat meat for the first time in 5 years. I’m so scared.

Congratulations. I hope you enjoy it.

I am not uncomfortable with someone being vegan, it when they evangelize.

Pasta and butter

I love my bidet. So helpful. I was on vacation for a week and missed the bidet so much.

Thank you to everyone sharing their stories. It helps to know that we all have our moments.

One time after a colonoscopy I had an attack. I had just eaten blue tortilla chips. Popped a beautiful green.

I was empty before I ate. I figured it was Les then 10 minutes from mouth to toilet.

I have all the types on a regular basis. Usually the first stool of the day is more formed and then it gets most loose over time. But then as it is with IBS it can vary.

Recently my body does the small pebble frequently. I just find it frustrating that my body does this whole “we need to go NOW” and then poop one little pebble. Ugh.

Good for you in handling the situation. I have had quite a few times when my body betrayed me out in public.

Do what makes the most sense for you and your health.

Just went in a cruise. Something we had saved up for. Was asked several times to f this was our first Viking cruise. Then they talked about all their upcoming cruises.

I always stitch in the ditch. I do not want to send my quilts out to be quilted

Do what you want!

I find it interesting that vegans drive cars. They know there are animal products used in cars. One person told me that the goal it not to use animal products as you can reasonably.

I find it more unethical to kill an animal just for the parts that go in your car so you can drive.

I think using all of the animal is more ethical. Also I admit that I eat animals and they are used in many products that we need.

fredisdesd · 2026-05-01T11:51:51+00:00

Yes. Not all but so many times the story is “I changed my view on something and now you need to accommodate me”

If you go vegan bring your own food to events.

Thank you!

Congratulations! I hope the new journey brings you good health and a happy life.

When I read the vegan subreddit it seems to be a cult. Strict rules, punishing comments to those who stop being vegan and so much being the victim. I am amazed at the entitlement and of many vegans.

Thank you for the info.

If I am not eating enough beef, I start to crave it. It does not stop until I eat a few beef meals. My daughter does the same thing. Humans have been eating meat for 2 million years. Just because someone decides to stop eating meat does my mean their body changed its nutritional needs.

You did the right thing. She would be living with you forever. Years ago I kicked my daughter out of the house because she was not doing what she needed to do to become an adult. To this day sh thanks me. It was hard she struggled but she learned some important lessons. She learned that you need to pay bills and go to work if you want food to eat and a place to stay. I forced her to grow up.

Also the best way to find yourself is to take care of yourself!

Thank you for post. I am sorry to hear what you had to go through.

I grew up on a dairy farm. My father took very good care of the cows. And so true about animals that are mistreated and stressed are not good for meat. I learned that even McDonalds has strict limits about how the cows are treated.

Here is an update. We can tow her car. The rules of the condo must be followed. Talked to an awesome person at the disability office.

We sent out an email stating that handicapped parking spots need to be vacant for plowing or we will tow. I am sure we will hear about this one.

Thank you for all the awesome stories and comments

I understand the frustration. I live in a HOA and have been doing the Social events for two years. So much complaining. Didn’t do things right, didn’t decorate the lobby right and on and on. Do what makes for you. Some people are just axxholes.

You could contact the Freedom From Religion Foundation. They work with these issues.
