I'm sorry about the inconvenience of this, I am certainly feeling it. I am trying to look into it. If you would like to see the most recent posts you can view them in the mailing list archives where they are posted long before you get them in your inbox (lately). See info at http://ottawaveg.com Hybrid Cars http://news.en.autos.sympatico.msn.ca/td/article.aspx?cp-documentid=917654 Exploding the myths about hybrid cars Nice to see an article on hybrids.... Vita-Soy Peppermint Chocolate Holiday Drink Vita-soy has a new holiday drink, picture here: http://www.cosmosveganshoppe.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=VSPC&Category_Code=NP&Product_Count=1 Peppermint Chocolate. Personally I like a little more chocolate, less mint, but it is still good and worth trying! I also like their Holly Nog. Originally I liked Noel Nog by So Nice, but I found it personally to have a chemical taste compared to Holly Nog. Maybe the best drink is both mixed-I haven't tried, and I haven't noticed Noel Nog on the shelf yet this year. What new products have you guys spotted/tried lately??? Biped Dog Oh, and this may be old news for some, but animals are amazing, and specifically this dog born with no(or deformed) front legs is amazing.. and adorable!

Now once you are 23 you can sign up! The other thing is..... IS there anyone in the downtown area who would be interested in doing a Superstore trip every couple weeks and split some costs on transportation? I like to stock up on some of the heavier items so I don't have to carry them long distances on foot. Anyway, now that I "have a car" I'm planning on these kinds of trips, and it just makes sense to further reduce cost AND pollution by finding at least one other person interested in going too...Let me know and we shall see. (PLUS I would like it best getting groceries with a veg*n... right?) Has anyone seen http://OttawaRideMatch.com? I saw it advertised on the back of a bus, and it looks like a good service.... I thought I should mention it for anyone who might have missed the advert but would be interested. It is a carpooling service. Ok, I took a look at it, and it doesn't seem like there are enough people signed up for it to be REALLY useful... but they are advertising, and these things take a while to catch on.. so if you are interested add yourself and then.... wait. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
