Hi, all. This is my first ever post on a message board, if you can believe it! So, this is quite bold for me. I haven't been a vegan for long (8 months or so), and I was a strict ovo-lacto vegetarian for 2 years prior to that. I am excited to be here and look forward to being involved in this forum!

Welcome Rubicon.

If you're not the one Adams suggests maybe you're a product of the company (http://www.rubiconexotic.com/) that makes one of my favourite fizzy drinks :happy: :cool:

Take a look at the 2nd defintion. It applies to veganism for me pretty well.

Hi dropscone...I think those fizzy drinks come from this source, near where I grew up.

Cool, I never knew the meaning of that word before.

Take a look at the 2nd defintion. It applies to veganism for me pretty well. Well, that's the same definition as used in the book title; actually, the second definition comes from the first definition ( or so I understand ). It is a pretty cool nickname! :cool:
