Hello! I am a vegan, which means I don't use any animal products.
That's very commendable. I'm vegetarian, but would like to become vegan one day. How long have you been vegan?
I've been a vegan for about five years. I consider myself a dietary vegan, which means I don't eat any animal products.
It's good not to exploit animals. I don't buy leather products or use beeswax, that sort of stuff. And I don't eat meat of any kind.

Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

Animal hoarding is keeping a higher-than-usual number of animals as domestic pets without ability to properly house or care for them, while at the same time denying this inability. Compulsive hoarding can be characterized as a symptom of mental disorder rather than deliberate cruelty towards animals. Hoarders are deeply attached to their pets and find it extremely difficult to let the pets go. They typically cannot comprehend that they are harming their pets by failing to provide them with proper care. Hoarders tend to believe that they

cause of melanoma is ultraviolet light (UV) exposure in those with low levels of skin pigment. The UV light may be from either the sun or from other sources, such as tanning devices. About 25% develop from moles. Those with many moles, a history of affected family members, and who have poor immune function are at greater risk. A number of rare genetic defects such as xeroderma pigmentosum also increase risk. Diagnosis is by biopsy and analysis of any skin lesion that has signs of being potentially cancerous.

I quite like scallops and shrimp. On another note, vegetarians are that way for many different reasons.

Surfing
Surfing is a surface water sport in which the wave rider, referred to as a surfer, rides on the forward or face of a moving wave, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found in the ocean, but can also be found in lakes or rivers in the form of a standing wave or tidal bore. However, surfers can also utilize artificial waves such as those from boat wakes and the waves created in artificial wave pools.

Do you spend a lot of time outside as a result? Do you hike or anything like that?

Rural area
In general, a rural area or countryside is a geographic area that is located outside towns and cities. The Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines the word "rural" as encompassing "...all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural."
Typical rural areas have a low population density and small settlements. Agricultural areas are commonly rural, as are other types of areas such as forest.

Agriculture
Agriculture is the science and art of cultivating plants and livestock. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities. The history of agriculture began thousands of years ago. After gathering wild grains beginning at least 105,000 years ago, nascent farmers began to plant them around 11,500 years ago. Pigs, sheep and cattle were domesticated over 10,000 years ago. Plants were independently cultivated in at least 11 regions of the world.

I love riding my scooter around my neighborhood. Do you have any recreational vehicles?
I don't, but a few friends had scooters. I'm afraid I live in too rural an area for it to be practical.
Thats true. You probably need something with a windshield for the bugs in the country. Have you ever rode a motorcycle?
I have not. They seem pretty dangerous. I don't trust the other drivers on the road.
i don't either. I live close to the park so that is where i ride my moped but besides that I do not trust people on the road.
Does your moped have actual pedals, like the original definition, or is it a scooter? People use the "moped" term for both these days.
it is a 1979 Tomos A3 moped with pedals. I always wanted one growing up and bought one last summer. It goes about 25mph and is a blast.
I just may have to try one out. I bet there are some used ones out there!

i hate commuting! i commute 50 miles every day
Commuting 50 miles every day to work would be awful. I live where I work so I just walk there.
that's really good! I work in DC, traffic is absolutely horrible
Yes so many people are commuting to work. I would much prefer taking a subway if possible.
i would too but the nearest metro is 15 miles away so it doesn't make sense for me to take a metro

While there, he would commute two hours by train and ferry. Ghiselin said about commuting "I learned the look and feel of dawn and night on the Bay water." Ghiselin thought he wanted to be a painter, but was unhappy with his art teachers, dropping out the middle of his Freshman year. He went to work for the San Anselmo Herald and the San Francisco Bulletin. Looking for something more than the "stream of daily news", he enrolled at UCLA, again taking up Art. He said

Cancer
Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. These contrast with benign tumors, which do not spread. Possible signs and symptoms include a lump, abnormal bleeding, prolonged cough, unexplained weight loss, and a change in bowel movements. While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they can also have other causes. Over 100 types of cancers affect humans.

Ive been living in Virginia for 14 years now and I am also a local guide, Is there anything you'd like to know about it?
Awesome I have visited Virginia before! What attractions are there for tourists to visit?
You can visit several indigenous groups here and go to the museums, including the Powhatan which is very popular.
Wow! I have never heard of the Powhatan name before. How many people live in the state? Is it pretty crowded?

8.5 million.
The area's history begins with several indigenous groups, including the Powhatan. In 1607 the London Company established the Colony of Virginia as the first permanent New World English colony. Virginia's state nickname, the Old Dominion, is a reference to this status. Slave labor and the land acquired from displaced Native American tribes each played a significant role in the colony's early politics and plantation economy. Virginia was one of the 13 Colonies in the American Revolution. In the American Civil War, Virginia's Secession

I really like electronic dance music (EDM). How about you? It's fun to dance to it at raves and festivals
I dont know a lot about EDM. Is there anything interesting you could tell me?
Sure! It became popular in the late 80s/early 90s in Europe as club culture also became more popular.
That makes sense because I have only ever heard it play in the club or club style movies.
Yeah! It took awhile to catch on in the USA, although some styles of EDM that originated in the US were influential in Europe
Oh wow! Well I know the largest EDM festival is held in Beligum but I'm not sure what its called.

dance music', or simply 'dance'.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, following the emergence of raving, pirate radios and an upsurge of interest in club culture, EDM achieved widespread mainstream popularity in Europe. In the United States at that time, acceptance of dance culture was not universal; although both electro and Chicago house music were influential both in Europe and the United States, mainstream media outlets and the record industry remained openly hostile to it. There was also a perceived association between EDM and drug

Electronic dance music
Electronic dance music (EDM), also known as dance music, club music, or simply dance, is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves and festivals. It is generally produced for playback by disc jockeys who create seamless selections of tracks, called a mix by segueing from one recording to another. EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in what is sometimes called a live PA. In Europe, EDM is more commonly called '

I love shellfish. I know many people suffer from life threatening allergies if they eat shellfish. Are you familiar with this?

Shellfish
Shellfish is a colloquial and fisheries term for exoskeleton-bearing aquatic invertebrates used as food, including various species of molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms. Although most kinds of shellfish are harvested from saltwater environments, some are found in freshwater. In addition, a few species of land crabs are eaten, for example "Cardisoma guanhumi" in the Caribbean. Shellfish are among the most common food allergens.
Despite the name, "shellfish" are not actually fish, but are simply water-dwelling animals. Most

Hygiene Directive and Fishery Products Directives. All commercially harvested shellfish are subject to strict hygiene regulations. Some people do suffer from allergies to shellfish, and this is an unfortunate fact of life. Often the allergies are very specific and caused by one type of shellfish only. Shellfish should be carefully stored keeping them cool but moist. Do not re-water shellfish, which you have bought. They will already have been cleaned to the requisite standard and re-watering only increases risk of re-contamination.
