Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hi everyone, Marie checking in for the March roll call 1. Tell us your name [computer username is fine]. Marie Rieuwers 2. Where are you currently living? [be as specific as you feel inclined to be] Haarlem, Netherlands (near the coast and about a 15 minute train ride west of Amsterdam) 3. Are you a vegetarian? Vegan? My husband and I are both ovo-lacto vegetarians. Since Hans was put on a fairly restricted diet in the hope of gaining some pain relief from arthritis we have been eating vegan meals about 3 times a week. 4. Do you care for any animal companions? If so, how many and what kind ? [their names too, if you wish to share] As we both work full time we don't think it would be fair to have a pet as the poor thing would have to be alone all day. However, as we are over 60 it won't be too long before we retire and we are looking forward to getting a cat then. I am happy to admit that we are slighly crazy and we love 'quirky' names for pets. I once had a black dog called " Snowy " and another dog called " Phydeaux " (read it slowly and it you'll work it out!!). We also used to have a cat named after a real person who gloried in the name of Princess Augusta Victoria Frederika Louise Feodora Jenny of Sleschwig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg. The cat was known as Stickybeak to her closest friends. I said to Hans that I think that good cat names would be Claude (clawed) and Oedi (as in Oedipus). Don't tell me that I didn't warn you about our crazy sense of humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
