    Okidok,I´ll start off first by saying hi to everyone :)

    New to this forum,I´m hoping to get some new ideas and get to know interesting people from all over!
    Initially,I was just looking to find somewhere to discuss and meet fellow vegans and vegetarians.But after seeing all different topics here;It really looks more and more interesting :D.I´m hoping also that the atmosphere here is positive and if it is-it´s just the way it should be....but it seems like it is anyway!Cause I´m a friendly person myself!!

    A few words about me then....
    Well,I´m a Swedish gal and at the moment I´m actually preparing for a move to Holland.I feel Sweden isn´t really for me.To live here you have to plan everything months ahead and also,because I haven´t really got any major degrees or anything(yep,I´m a drop out!)I´ts pretty difficult for me to get a good job unfortunately.It´s very important to have a good degree here.A bit sad I think...
    What else...I have lived in Ireland for about 7 years and I have moved around Europe quite a bit.I´m a bit of a restless soul!

    I´m a vegetarian since a good while and I adore music.
    More or less every kind of music;from classical to black metal!
    I´m also interested in politics and animal welfare.I try and do what I can here to try and educate people mainly about the wolfs future existance in Sweden.Many people here are very negative about it...
    We also have a new right-wing government here that are rather negative about a lot of wild animals here,that is so sad!

    Ops,maybe this is getting a bit too long!
    So I say a big hello to everyone and send all my best to everyone here!!

    Hello Oaktree;
    Why don't you go back to school and get a degree?...You will then have the skills you can use anywhere you choose to hang your hat....Welcome to The Hip Forums....Allow me to extend the welcome mat….I know what it’s like to be a newcomer….You don’t really know what to say or how to act….Read some of the threads so you can get the gist of what topics are being discussed….When you feel comfortable jump right in and get your feet wet….Nobody here is going to "Flame" you (unless it’s necessary) lol….We get some assholes here who just want to stir up bad vibes and there are several (they go unnamed).…From what I’ve found so far is that we are one big family with many brothers and sisters….Once again the doors open come on in, open up your heart and mind, put on some groovy tunes, kick back and stay awhile….Peace, Love & Great Big Hugs, DDR

    I went back to college after I got out of the US Navy and earned a degree in Ornamental Horticulture at 34 and I worked in the field for many years....I then went back again when I was 48 and earned another degree in Computer Science....It's never too late for knowledge, Knowledge Is Power....DDR :)

    Fellow vegetarian here! keep fighting for those animals sister! they are voiceless and pretty much defenseless against us humans.. so if we stand up for them atleast we are giving them a chance. Welcome to the forums!
