I just wanted to show my appreciation for the kindness, support, and wisdom that's been bestowed upon me during my first 6 months here.

My Veg experience, Mark II Or "How I learned to love the Veg"
Thread Starter: Shave_RatMy first exposure was a similar experience like many others have had. I was in a Christmas Tree Shoppe, and on the shelf of AS's, was a bottle of the Veg, seal already broken, sitting on the shelf. Like many, I was also skeptical that something reported to smell as bad as many said could have...
