Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 HI Shelley Where are you? It sounds nasty. Good luck. Jo - Shelley Wednesday, July 09, 2008 3:05 PM Re: Vegan coming-out Hmmmmm-hard to talk to much, Jo, when our city is being evacuated AGAIN due to the Camp and West fires. I have not yet been sent away with my 6 cats and dog but dare not go anywhere lest I not be permitted back home, as happened last time. There I was, homeless with no warning. Whoever said, "Do you buy it?" if something says "may" contain milk. No, I don't. Also, if there is a whole paragraph of ingredients I don't buy it. None of them are usually familiar and quite suspect. I buy peanut butter that has the ingredients of "peanuts". So simple. Shelley H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
