Thank DG and Dee. I'll check out veggiedate.org and would love to read your amazing story again DG. Meanwhile I'm becoming bipolar of sorts in this relationship ... very attached (knew him in 1972) but very conflicted. We go back and forth from morphing to buddies to tying the knot. I know I cannot have cow's milk in my home, that is non-negotiable. His son is Type 1 diabetic, daughter so far no ... I've been trying to get the know-it-all to take a look at the studies linking Type 1 to infants being given cow's milk.

Eggs and seafood? I may have to compromise. He has stated Adamantly he will never be vegan.

We're going up to Farm Sanctuary in upstate NY this weekend for a few days ... I hope the tour guide lays it on thick(thinking of slipping him/her some $ to do so). I hope it is a life-changing experience for him as some people have said it is.

Meanwhile, thanks for the support. Something's got to give eventually.
