Hi, Mike. Left because we're vegans, and the various menus/restaurants, etc., didn't seem to have much to offer.  Thanks for asking!

Huh? We have all kinds of vegetables at every feast.

By the way, you DO need meat in the human diet.

Good luck with your health. You're gonna need it.

Running these dinners is really a thankless task. Between the people who want to come and don't want to spend any money and just make cookies while they eat lobster, to characters like you. I give up!

What is wrong with you people?

Alan Woods <alan0198@yahoo.com>

Mike:  we're vegans.  Which means no animal products, including dairy.  So most of the items you highlight are things we can't eat.  And since we're in our 70s, have been vegan for three decades, and are in excellent health, I don't think we're endangering ourselves by our diet.

All best--

Yeah? Well all my parents' relatives are in their 90s or lived a long time...

My father is 90, and he was one of nine, all his brothers and sisters lived well into their 80s (except one suicide).

I don't have time to deal with crazy fanatics like you. Why did you even join to begin with?

Petraio Prime

Given how much personal stress and organizational difficulty are involved in putting on these dinners, I musty insist that only those who are enthusiastic and willing to give complete cooperation may participate. No complaints, no reluctance, no whining, no excuses, no dropping out to attend another event.

Why did you even join

Petraio Prime

These dinners are supposed to be splendid, spectacular, and magnificent.

But of course there are always people like you who fuck it up.
