Vegetarian Star

You wouldn’t dare purchase a fur coat or leather bomber yourself, but what if your sister-in-law forgets you always pass on the turkey during Thanksgiving and Christmas get togethers and wraps a full length mink in a gift box almost as expensive as the coat?

Without a receipt there’s no hope of a refund, but Dear Abby has some advice for the vegetarian who receives an animal un-friendly gift.

When one spouse turns vegetarian, life may be a little difficult for the remaining carnivorous one.

Who will cook the local insects, for example.

In Dear Abby‘s April Fool’s edition, a man from Arkansas complains about his vegetarian wife, who gained weight and refuses to kill the roaches around the house.

What’s Abby’s advice?

“I’ll let you know if I hear from anyone who wants to weigh in on your problem. But in the meantime, you’ll have to cook your own steaks and kill your own insects.”

Arkansas Carnivore should give the No Kill Bugbuster to his wife for her birthday or their next anniversary.

Vegetarian Star recommends giving it sooner as a surprise, “Just because I love you,” gift before the bugs multiply any more.

The wife can suck up the bugs and transplant them elsewhere without having to compromise on her no kill philosophy.

Are you a poor, lost vegetarian soul, constantly picked on by friends, family and everyone you meet?

Are you ready to give up the tempeh and bite into a burger at the family reunion because you can’t take it anymore?

The Dear Abby column might have advice you can use:

“I am 27 and have been a vegetarian for five years. I am trying to develop a thick skin when it comes to people who question or make fun of my choice, but I’m tired of laughing and letting the comments “roll off” my back.”

“What is the best response to people who are so rude about my choices?”

Dear Abby says take comfort in knowing there are growing numbers of people choosing to eschew meat and dairy for health and environmental reasons.

And tell that annoying grandpa to stick his dentures in it!

“Your grandfather may be trying to be humorous — or he may be showing concern because he comes from a generation that didn’t learn there can be benefits from a vegetarian diet. Because he’s getting under your skin, rather than take the bait, sit next to some other relatives at family events.”

Mayim Bialik wrote a bit of advice to a lost soul wondering what next step to take in their career.

“Lost In Space” got some great inspiration from Mayim, and a suggestion that if they were interested in taking the food industry on, there was a demand near her.

“If you find that your passion is vegan kosher organic cuisine, that dream is attainable too (and seriously needed in my neighborhood)!”

Mayim, in addition to being a successful actress and obtaining a PhD in Neuroscience, may be the next Dear Abby or Ann Landers.

Just listen to this additional piece of advice she gave “Lost In Space.”

1). Make a list of things you enjoy doing/skills you have.

2) Make a list of things you do NOT enjoy doing/are not cut out for. (Don’t be excessively self-critical; that’s what the rest of the year is for. Just be descriptive.)

3) Make a list of the things you could see doing that would make you excited to go to work and happy to be part of.

4) Make a list of the crazy jobs you never thought were within your reach, and don’t hold back; it’s just a list, it won’t bite.

Hmmm…Is Mayim taking clients for one on one therapy?
