but been here 10 minutes, and also renewing my love for animals! I am sitting here bawling my eyes out, and I havn't even read ONE animal thread, but am soooooo pleased to be in a forum of people who have love in there hearts for our sweet furry and fuzzy neighbors... i'm not a nut, honest, but I feel so much love already, just being around people who care, I'm no fanatic, I have eaten meat, and I eat eggs, but the thought DOES count!:hug:

(((((((to you all))))))))))) :)

Hi, Mellisa. Welcome.

Hi mellisa...great to have you here!

This place does that to you. Welcome to the crowd. :D

This is great! Not only will I not be ridiculed, but people here actually are supportive and think the same on this subject! :bobo:

Welcome Mellisa!

Amy's right, this place does have that effect on some people. :D

Hope you continue to enjoy it here!

Welcome! this place aint too bad...

I love not being ridiculed for my intense love of nature too!! no i'm not a nut either!

You know, I became a vegetarian for my health and health alone, and actually was offended when people assumed I was an AR activist. But the longer I am a vegetarian, the more I learn and observe and read, the more people I talk to, the more compassionate I am becoming. I'm learning that it's okay to care, and it feels good.

Welcome!
