I like the heat, so it sounds appealing.

If oil is a product of rock instead of organic materials, the question still remains as to how long it takes oil to form and how easy it is to get. If we have to drill deeper to get to more oil, that is going to cost more and still increase the price at the pump, and for other oil products. Then how far can we keep drilling down?

Considering how long we have been using oil and how dirty it is, it seems it is time for some more innovation to improve things all around.

I still live with my parents who are very non-approving when it comes to vegetarianism. From time to time, they try to hide meat in my meals, hoping that I won't notice it, for they think that I'm going to die because of not eating meat sooner or later.  
It's even harder for my brother, who is a vegan.  

I am sorry to hear they try to make you eat meat. Would showing them articles about how vegetarian diets can be healthier for you, or that some cultures are vegetarian actually help convince them?

USA! WOO HOO!

Oh wait ....  

Nope.  I learned that long ago.  It's not even the same in some of the different counties.

In what part of Georgia do you live? Do you have farmer's markets near by?

I have been a vegetarian for most of my life..
vegan for two years

Cool! Were you raised vegetarian? I find it hard going to my parents because they never have many fresh vegetables and fruits.

I strive for vegan but I am not there as I do use some dairy and I use honey in my oatmeal most mornings for breakfast. I don't like eggs so that is not a problem and I am conscious when buying products if animal parts were used in some way.

That sounds like an interesting book. Has it changed a lot?

Oh well, when you are ready you will be able to do it. I have not been trying either. Though oddly for the past week I have been remembering my dreams rather well. This is odd because I don't usually especially for some many consecutive days. I am glad you are doing well.

LOL!  I was too!  so I looked at the local Kroger online paper and they have them on sale, 2 for 4 dollars.   in fact they had several things on sale.  I'm going a Krogering.  

Looks like I got fortunate today when I looked at this thread, who'd thunk it would have lead me to a good sale. :peace:

I am glad I could be part of the contribution to lead you to good priced cantaloupe. Enjoy!

Now I am going to have to check out the sales papers.

I don't know where you are getting your information about Georgia Produce prices but I promise, come visit and buy some veggies.  If you know of some great market I can go to, please share!    I only buy hamburger meat occasionally because the kids love their hamburgs

Being in the same general geographical area I assumed things would be similar.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I don't eat meat with every meal either. I do consider myself somewhat of a health nut. I drink lots of water and juice. No sodas or anything with surgar. I love a garden burger. But an occasional steak is really good too. I try to keep a good balance.

My next-door neighbors just started selling cantaloupe out of a trailer, and they are cheap ($1)and fresh. Fruits and veggies tend to be cheap sometimes, but not organic - it's always at least twice as much.

I am suddenly in the mood for a good cantaloupe.  

I drink lots of water and juice as well, along with green tea in the morning. I can't stand soda, but every once in a great while I might have a little, but very rarely.

I guess it depends on where you get it but here the price of some organic has dropped a lot. Sometimes it is not much more than nonorganic. A few things are even the same price, like last time I was at the store organic carrots and oatmeal were the same as non-organic.

I must be very fortunate.

You're lucky, falln.  Where I live, the fruit and vegetables are not cheap...well, except for the lettuce and bananas.

Really? In Georgia this time of year? Fruits and vegetables are usually cheap here until the winter months, especially compared to how much you get and how far it will go compared to meat.

Wow, how things can change in just a few years. When I first responded to this topic there were no Super Walmarts here. Now we have many of them, a Super Target, Health Food Stores, Walmart and Target both are carrying more and more organic produce and products as well as the other grocery stores. Most grocery stores now have specialized culture sections. Soy products are varied, tasty and in abundance. Oh yeah, and I am vegetarian. I have been so for about a year. I eat no meat. I drink soy milk but I do eat cheese and ice cream. I feel great on many levels. This has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I would also like to retract from my previous post about a veggie diet being expensive. I was wrong. It is expensive if you buy a lot of processed foods, but fresh fruits and vegetables are usually pretty cheap. I thought I would give an update.  

Americans should designate at least one lane on all major roads for bicycles, and then everyone start riding bicycles for most of their around town trips. We would kill two birds with one stone, our oil and obesity problem.

ummmm....what does burning man festival do? is it a burning of people festival like hell? ...  YIKES!!!!

Let's just say there is a lot of baked beans and matches.  

Hi, Kazbadan! How have you been?

O, that is a hard question, I will have to check & see.  
It sort of depends what mood I am in. I think they
are all very different & I like to rotate. Give me
a few days & I will narrow it down.

LOL Ok, I understand.    To make it easier you don't have to choose just one.

I don't have them but I was looking at them on Amazon.com. They have high marks and people seem to really like them. So I was thinking about getting one or two.

Out of all of your collection what is your favorite or do you find using the most?

that's funny, a town named HELL..

wow, to be born on 6/6/06 in HELL

that would be priceless  

LOL That would be cool.

Well they seem to have fun in Hell anyway.

It really does make such a difference. I went for about 2 - 3 weeks one time without doing it and I felt sick. I wasn't really sick but I felt so bad from not doing it. That really made me appreciate how great it is to keep up my yoga practice. I try to do it every day but sometimes I only get to do it 2 - 3 times a week, which is better than nothing. It definitely keeps you limber.

Have you tried any of the Ana Brett & Ravi Singh's DVDs?

Yoga is a wonderful practice for developing both your energetic and physical body as well as increasing your awareness and concentration. I highly encourage it to anyone who is interested. I would not go as far to say choose one over the other, but instead choose what works best for you if you must choose between them. Only you know what is best for you. In whatever form you will be learning make sure you are taught all the things you are seeking as some Yoga focuses mainly on the physical. My preference is Kundalini Yoga.

Good Luck!  :meditate:

Fallnangle77,  It's the same effect as every thing shrinking as you get older.  Then you hit a certain age and everything begins to grow again and get heavier.

True, it is just odd when one starts noticing it.  

I wish I could have gone to Hell on 6/6/06.

Runlola, how is the yoga going for you? Are you still practicing? I still use the Mantra Girl DVD for the most part. It is still my favorite.

Those are really cool!
