Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had a male vegetarian friend when I lived in Greece, and he had someone ask him if he was still able to have sex, despite not eating meat.

I know several vegan guys who've said that people have asked them this. Also, whether eating tofu makes them grow breasts.

Because books.

Are people doing sexy stuff I don't know about? Aside from swallowing, which seems like it would matter more to your partner from a vegan's perspective (in terms of consent), how are eating and sex related?

This could be one of those things I don't want to know, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, well, soy=estrogen, the internet says so.

Eating meat is a manly thing to do. Vegetarians, therefore, become impotent. I think is the reasoning.

Wow, people are weird.

not your mom's socks.

Agreed. No one ever asked me that when I was vegetarian, though.

I managed to switch over most things from former doc earlier in the week, except for my records. But that means mammogram got moved to a new office and moved up to tomorrow. I am, as always, a bundle of nerves, with added not-wanting-to-be-needy or whatever. Here's hoping it goes smooth for you, Kat, and for me too. Then, next week, exciting routine bloodwork. I feel like I should get a sticker that says 'I am being a mother-f*cking adult.'

Could I get some ~ma for an eye test I have tomorrow morning? An early test showed me as being at high risk for macular degeneration, and I'm re-testing tomorrow to see if the pigment levels in my retina are stable or not.

eye-test~ma, Anne.

And mammogram~ma for Kat. And for me too, if I haven't used up all my ~ma.

Eek, that's scary, Anne. Definitely -ma. And for Suzi, and Kat, and all medical testing!

I went and checked out a new beer place a few blocks away--they sell lots and lots of beers in bottles/cans, and also have a little bar with about 6 ciders and 20 beers on tap, and you can get pints or growlers, and they have a different food truck every night (which I posted about earlier). I did not have any beer or cider tonight (just a ginger beer) but will definitely try the cider flight next time I'm there. I had a Filipino bahn mi. It was pretty good, though could've used more pickled veggies.
