Did you know that Portland is the most vegan-friendly city in the Universe on the Planet in America?
You do now.
Did you know that the health benefits of a vegan diet are too numerous to mention because:
- let’s face it, you have the attention span of camera shutter set on “burst mode” because of all the sugar you just consumed.
- I have way better things to do than copy and paste an entry from Wikipedia.
Did you know that there are some, oh, interesting consequences to a vegan diet? It’s best if you watch this two-minute video.
Let’s just say:
- I’ve been to this restaurant.
- I wish I had known about their “special” patio.
- Do not attempt vegan or raw food diets without first consulting anyone you love and with whom you wish to maintain a dignified relationship.

It was awesome! Hahahaha
Jan 16, 2017 @ 12:37:54
Yup. I definitely live in Rome. 😉
Jan 16, 2017 @ 12:36:54
Well, it’s kind of implied…in the air, if you will. 😐
Jan 16, 2017 @ 12:35:52
I saw it and was chuckling about it for a week after. That was my sign that I had to post it! Glad you got a laugh from it! ❤
Jan 16, 2017 @ 12:32:35
There’s no other way it could be! 😉
Jan 14, 2017 @ 04:36:26
Ah, Portland…. keep it wierd…
Jan 12, 2017 @ 12:43:18
This had me rolling! Hahahaha
Jan 11, 2017 @ 07:51:35
Yes, nobody ever tells you about the gas when they pitch the benefits of a vegan diet. Vegan evangelists should have to start with that.
Jan 10, 2017 @ 17:39:27
Thank you for the good advice Lorna… it makes life easier if others experiment first !

We have a saying here in the south, “Better to let it rip and bear the shame than to hold it in and bear the pain.”
In ancient Rome, public flatulence was not only legal (by order of the Emperor) but encouraged. When in Rome . . . .

Good! 🙂
Jan 06, 2017 @ 00:48:08
Blazing Saddles comes to mind, both made me laugh… 😉
Jan 05, 2017 @ 11:53:03
Very punny, Peter! Thank you. I had a lovely, quiet holiday. And I wish you all good things every day of every year! ❤
Jan 05, 2017 @ 08:38:50
No one could you accuse you of writing a long-winded post here, or writing something it is hard to digest, but as always it is full of your lovely humour and gentleness. I hope you had a great Christmas and I wish you every happiness for 2017 x 🙂
Jan 05, 2017 @ 08:32:20
❤
Jan 04, 2017 @ 20:12:10
So appreciate you. 😙
Jan 04, 2017 @ 17:31:37
Lol!! Exactly!!!!
Jan 04, 2017 @ 04:11:03
I wish you wouldn’t take life so seriously, Lorna. Ha Ha. Just farting around. Well, actually, I’m not, because I’m not vegan. In many ways I wish I was – it’s a discipline I’m unable to attain. But then again, I prefer clean air… 🙂
Happy New Year my blogging friend. Always fun to visit you here. xo
Jan 03, 2017 @ 22:58:34
I’m starting to do the rounds again of blog visits, and on my first visit to you in a while I find farts. Farts! I would expect nothing less… 🙂
Jan 03, 2017 @ 17:41:18
Love you more! 🙂 ❤
Jan 03, 2017 @ 17:39:57
You like the sound of train whistles, huh?
Jan 03, 2017 @ 16:53:37
There you go again, reeling me in with that most magical of all sounds…..
Jan 03, 2017 @ 15:37:02
What did you say, Al? I couldn’t hear you over all the noise, what with the train whistles and the farting…
Jan 03, 2017 @ 15:27:51
Oh, V. I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. I’m sending you oodles of love and a big hug.
I’ve been busy editing a rather long book. It’s the first in a trilogy. The author is already writing the next book, so I’m taking advantage of this time to catch up with my “peeps” here on WP. Miss you, Sweetie! ❤
Jan 03, 2017 @ 15:19:46
Chair cushions and long walks on a very windy beach!!!
Jan 03, 2017 @ 15:14:44
It works fine for me, but I wouldn’t want to be starting a new relationship. Oy! The pain of holding the gas in! 😉
Jan 03, 2017 @ 15:12:53
Raw food—music the way nature intended!! 😉
Jan 03, 2017 @ 13:55:20
Good way to end the year, Lorna! I don’t eat meat, but perhaps not ready for this yet. I’ll take your words of warning to heart 😉
Jan 03, 2017 @ 12:40:11
Vegan is not for me, but all power to those who manage it, if it works for you 🙂
Jan 02, 2017 @ 20:17:35
Lol!! Happy holidays!! And eating vegetables is the reason why god invented chair cushions right?
Jan 02, 2017 @ 18:00:19
No, never! Namaste, Lorna. 🙂 xo
Jan 02, 2017 @ 14:51:08
So glad to “see” you, Lorna. The last part of 2016 was challenging for me with the loss of Mom and all the “business of dying” that ensues and isn’t over yet. I forget what rest is. I needed this laugh, and an excuse not to go vegan. Be well and happy New Year. Your blog fell off my follow list again.
Dec 29, 2016 @ 17:47:33
Thanks Lorna. 🙂

Our wedding will be the grandest celebration in Utah since the railroads joined at Promontory Point!
Dec 29, 2016 @ 10:20:13
Meet me in Utah, Big Guy. I’ll be the blonde with the kale stuck in her teeth. 🤥😍

I just started watching Portlandia and saw this sketch. I was on the floor laughing so much. The food in this restaurant is really good. It’s just a block or two away from Powell (that little book store)!🤥
Dec 29, 2016 @ 10:08:13
Good one! The food there is very good and filling in more ways than one..😲 Happy New Year!
Dec 29, 2016 @ 10:06:02
Can never have too many laughs, huh? 😜 Namaste Gayle. 💕
Dec 28, 2016 @ 19:21:16
Thanks for the laugh, Lorna, only in Oregon. May the coming New Year bring you health, happiness, prosperity and all good things! xo
Dec 28, 2016 @ 17:36:41
LOLLLLLLLLL Lorna, this was hilarious! Happy New Year to you! Hope this restaurant doesn’t take all the wind out of your sails! LOLLLLLLL ❤
Dec 27, 2016 @ 17:02:05
LMAO … oh my … a definite classic post about being vegan (which I am not).
Dec 27, 2016 @ 14:48:11
A post about farting ! Lorna, you really know the way to a guy’s heart! I love you! Marry me!
Dec 27, 2016 @ 11:46:50
Love the video! It reminds me of an adventure with my granddaughter this summer that I think will make you laugh, too. (https://carolahand.wordpress.com/2016/06/28/reflections-literally-tuesday-june-28-2016/).
Dec 27, 2016 @ 10:02:23
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND THE BOYS. LOVE YOU! P
Dec 27, 2016 @ 10:02:02
Vegan couldn’t possibly be an option for me. I need that patio normally…
