My 49 yr old sister came for a visit the past 3 days and graciously agreed to follow my vegan lifestyle while here. I was concerned it would be another family visit of ridicule and criticism but not…Continue

Seed Saving

I have been eating a lot of melons lately and thinking that it would be awesome to actually save the seeds for planting, storage, seed bombs, or passing to local garden clubs. Has anyone had any success saving their seeds? Tips for ensuring they are viable? I assume the seeds from the fruit I am getting in the supermarket are perfectly fine for seed storage?...I secretly dream of overrunning my city with wild melon plants!See More

TexasTim replied to Al-Nisa's discussion Ethical and Moral Dilemma in the group 40 +

"Sorry haven't been on here in a while ;-) Al-Nisa at our age we will always have things we regret, thought we could do better, etc. My favorite quote from Oprah who got it from Maya Angelou is "When we know better, we do…"

"Yeah the book is called "Feeling Good" by David Burns. $6. Totally worth 10x that. You missed a great fruitluck this past Sunday. We'll have another one next month. Take care."

"signed as well! I recently saw a docu on Paul Watson and the footage on the seal hunts just disgusted me. So happy to see that we may finally be nearing the end"

TexasTim commented on Iron Clad Ben's blog post Food and exercise aren't a cure-all (100% LFRV Day 130 of 150)

Forgiveness (Day 55)

"Wow, so glad you made this video Ben and I happened upon it tonight. It is really a message I needed to hear. My daughter asked me the other day if I ever forgave her mother for all that she has done to us over the years and I said I didn't see…"

TexasTim replied to AD's discussion "Bananas and Dates Make Me Sleepy" Michael Arnstein

"not sure of how dehydration plays into this process but I think there is a link, maybe it dilutes the tryptophan concentration??? "

TexasTim replied to AD's discussion "Bananas and Dates Make Me Sleepy" Michael Arnstein

"I didn't know this but a google search showed that bananas, oats, dried dates are particularly high in tryptophan. Now on the Wiki page this is where it gets interesting: "It has been demonstrated in both animal models[58] and…"

TexasTim replied to AD's discussion "Bananas and Dates Make Me Sleepy" Michael Arnstein

"I think hydration level plays a role in this as well though. You are obviously more hydrated the week you are eating high water content fruit. It would be interesting to see if you can calculate the increase in hydration the high water content…"

We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: I am an older guy that has eaten a SAD diet all his life. After my divorce 11 years ago I lost 45 lbs through running and calorie reduction but eating Lean Cuisines almost exclusively. I have run dozens of marathons, 2 Ironmans BUT throughout it all I would not say I was healthy and I quickly burned out, gained 30 lbs back and felt like crap. A year ago I went vegetarian but mostly junk food vegetarian. I came across 30BAD by accident a couple weeks ago and immediately went out and got the 80-10-10 book and truly aspire to this lifestyle.

good to see you part of the 40+ group & look forward to hearing from you.

At 12:33pm on August 1, 2011, Juicy Fruit said…: Hey Tim so nice to hear that there are more people in the world that are into the whole fruit and vaganism and following their passion in pursuing the yoga that we love. I really felt insulted by a ton of the comments when all I was looking for was a little advice. Good advice. It's funny I have never been called an idiot the way duriander insulted me. I laugh at it now but I really questioned myself.

I accepted your request and lost your daughters email with the note you sent with it.

You brightened my day. Thank you

Tracey
