OK I'll try... I'm trusting you on this.:)


In other news I got some results from a blood test today and I am low in Zinc, turns out you get Zinc from meat, I just thought that being a vego I would only need to take iron tablets....Oops... Gotta pick up some Zinc tablets. :biggrin:

Oh that sucks. Any restrictive diet puts you at risk of this I suppose, I am low on quite a few things and funnily enough they are all things mainly sourced in meat which is my main food group. Supplements are your friend here! Zinc tablets are great for your hair and skin as well.

I hope you have a nice time on your holiday! You deserve it....i think. I mean i don't really know you so it seems kind of silly to make those sort of comments, but one does make those sort of remarks as a kind of odd plesantry even though it doesn't really mean anything.

Well thanks. While I hope I don't deserve too many bad things I'm not sure that I "deserve" a holiday as my life is fairly cruisy. Always good to get a break though I suppose.

What other sources of zinc are in our diet? I thought vegetarians can get everything from some other veggies or whatever without the need for taking tablet supplements.

So did I... I know Calcium and iron can be found in veggies.
From a quick google search it looks like Zinc can be found in things like seeds, grains, nuts, kidney beans, chickpeas... basically lots of things that I actually do eat. The doctor did say I am only a little low, so no biggie... everything else was fine though, like calcium, iron, magnesium etc..

I'm actually a little excited now that I can take some zinc tablets if it makes my hair and skin look and feel better.

So I watched the bad blood video by taylor swift for the first time today... And omg! I totally love it! Like embarrassingly so. I will never admit this out loud outside of this forum. Ever.

What's wrong with admitting you like a Taylor Swift video?

What's the underlying 'theme' of this gif? Is she flirting with him, laughing at him or did she think he was checking her out and got embarrassed 'cos he wasn't doing that? It's not clear cut what the hell is going on in that sequence without proper context. lol

Google search the image.

The 'theme' is she's checking him out.
