Hhmm, sounds interesting.  I'm mostly vegetarian myself.  
Unfortunately, it's hard for me to fully dedicate my energies to an 
organization right now.  So I go casually.

I have normally practiced living alone, but I recently had to move 
out of my own place to take care of my mother.  The doctors say she 
has only a few months left, but I'm trying to keep her alive as long 
as I can.  She is less knowledgeable on health matters than I, and 
needs monitoring.

"As to the other questions you asked, I am not willing to go into 
my  concerns for you any further. The mother in me came out AGAIN. 
Do as you wish, practice as you wish. And forgive my intrusive 
concerns for your welfare.  Good luck with your goals."

I appreciate your concerns.  That's very compassionate and noble on 
your part.  I just find myself in a reverse position right now with 
my own mother, wherein I'm taking care of her.  She would have 
passed away in just a month or two ago, if I hadn't moved in with 
her again.  After she is gone, I will just remain living at her 
address.

Blessings
