You may want to take your decision about being a vegan very seriously.  You pretty much have to give up eating out at restaurants, so you can't go on long vacations, unless you love salad; you could have that every day!  I don't have braces, so I wouldn't need to get them tightened, but I am getting some soon. Sigh...  My friend said that she knew someone who got glow in the dark braces.  Can you really get those?????  That would be so cool!  I don't know many good recipes for vegetarian people with braces, except for this one recipe.  I can't write the whole thing down here, but it's a queich (sorry I can't spell that word).  You can somehow get the recipe off of Bisquick the flour making company. It's called the Impossible Brunch Pie.  If you don't like queiches and you think that the ingredients are disgusting, still make it!!  I can't stand queiches and normally don't like the ingredients.  Avoid the tomatoes in it.  That makes it gross.  Trust me on this!  My brother is a complete meat eater :(  and he loves it!!!  Please just try it!  You might be able to find it if you google it.

I am not a vegetarian but I do have braces.  However when my braces get tightened I usually have to go vegetarian because meat is too tough.  I would recommend Panara!  Order their garden veggie soup (I don't know if this is truly vegetarian, it could have chicken stock) in the bread bowl.  The soup is great and the veggies nice and soft.  Plus the bread bowl gets soggy enough to eat!  If you are having a really hard time with braces try smoothies.  There are soooooo many kinds.  My favorite is Peanut Butter & Banana!  It sounds gross but it is so good.  Hope this helps!  ^_^

I didn't know that you can eat roadkill.  That's sort of cool, but sort of gross, since you're being a vulture, no offense or anything!  Try to remember Maine in geography!  We have lots of important things, such as, umm...  Let me think!

(Three hours later)  Okay, I've thought of  important things!  Over some number, like 90%, I think, of the world's toothpicks come from Maine, we have one of the worlds oldest and most famous lighthouses, the Portland Headlight, and George Washington had something to do with it (I went there the other day!), and, umm, we have lots of moose.  There!  Aren't those important reasons to remember Maine???  Actually, people all over the country think of moose when they think of Maine.  I went on a trip this summer, and when we said we were from Maine, they were like, "Oh, what are you doing in Yellowstone?  You have plenty of moose in Maine!"  I've seen moose three times in the entire ten years I've lived here (four times dead on the side of the road).  Once, we were driving up to Quebec, and, seriously, as soon as we crossed the country's border, we saw a moose, then a few mintutes later, we saw another, but it had been hit by a car.  So really, there's more moose in Canada.

Wow.  It feels nice to hear from people in Maine.  For southern Maine, I've heard from Gorham, Standish, and Buxton.  This is sort of fun!!
