if you close the lid indoors (a/c air temp 74-78), leave outside (85-95), then bring back inside to open, i would expect a small 'pop'...  the air in the jar has expanded?

and here i was, being heckled for when the "spell check" button went missing...

thanks, mr durden.  your suggestion is valid.

meeting 100 of the wrong people in two days may have you feeling even worse!
travelling to the city and being "social" will most likely have you in the same environment you've been striking out at lately...  like a bar.  or club.


c_k may be right...  when your current obligations are met, move on...

the only thing i've ever owned was the crap i took this morning.

and i flushed it immediately.

 



live selfless, without attachments.  it opens all the doors of possibility, not just your own.

i've eaten jellyfish, with sesame seasoned rice noodles.
jellyfish with anything is weird.
i'm sure the only thing funny were the faces i was making while eating it.     

that's all fine and good, but please,  down tone your responses, and simply add information to enlighten.   thanks

thanks, van.     

I started eating it about two or three days after putting it in there. It started drying pretty quickly. I left it in there, spread out on a baking sheet, until I finished it all off, probably about a week or so.

nice.  thanks.

mango, for dinner tonight, i tried raw ground beef for the first time...  thanks for the post (question), it had me thinking while i was standing at the glass butcher case yesterday...

i didn't leave it out on the counter for hours, but it was everything i expected it to be.  not too shabby.

Fasting causes rashes.
Fats melting releasing toxins to my blood.
Blood dumping toxins out my skin.
Rashes and eczema opened up.

Im doing detox protocols to keep up.
Colon cleanses.
Kidney cleanses.
Liver flushes.
Coffee enemas
Steam baths.
Foot baths.
Rebounder.

On day 10 of fast now.

My gut of fat is shrinking.

interesting, and i am sorry...  i've never experienced a detox rash while fasting.  if what you suggest is correct, do you feel the rashes and eczema symptoms will disappear once you've cleansed the toxins that create them?
have you tried to determine where the toxins have come from during your diet?

venison (deer) meat i think is considered more of a delicacy here...  it's a bit more expensive, and yes, very tasty (although i've never had it raw, it's been many years since i've had any).  older, more mature deer tends to be described as tough and "gamey / gamy" in flavor, i think to do with the more developed muscles and hormones of older deer?...  younger deer should be more tender and mild in flavor.

best wishes.

whoa...  easy...  it was never my intention to make you feel that way...

this is a handy link (thanks, jessica!).  where ever your travels take you, this can be referenced to locate some good food...  i saved it into my "favorites", so i can always find it.

looks like most of the farms in ontario are about 3-6 hours from ottowa, this one in burnstown seemed to be close (about an hour away).  contacting some of the farms near ottowa, may lead to information on where the meats / foods are distributed close to you...
good luck, eat well...

Elm Tree Farm started out raising a few animals for their own consumption, "so we knew what we were eating." We have now grown a bit, but you have to order early. Our Highland beef is low in cholesterol and very tender, and it has no hormones, antibiotics, or additives.

The beef is available in the fall, and occasionally in the summer. Lamb is available in the fall.

All the meat can be picked up at the farm.

indeed...   

mr durden, the next time you are in a pub, getting hammered with a group of strangers while singing billy joel songs "off - key"...  why not take a brief moment to contemplate your recent post in the av thread...

until my transition into this better diet, i would perform an annual fast of 10-14 days, with only water.  i can't imagine doing a citrus fast, especially for that long...  very acidic?  lived life like normal, maybe just a little less aggressive with exercise.  i have done this for the better part of 10 years.  it takes some determination to perform, i would notice that i no longer felt hungry after day 3 or 4...  approx  64 - 96 ounces of water daily, this would typically lessen as time went by...  but ingested as my body desired.  i would fast in this manner because i felt my body wanted it, and it would continue until i felt "clean", then add another day or two.  the hardest part of a longer duration fast is working foods back into yourself once complete...  i would start off slowly with introducing bland, sometimes salty crackers (cuban goya crackers, or saltines), and slowly work light type foods back in... very slowly...  as my stomach allowed.  sometimes another week before eating somewhat normal again.  i completed a 10 day fast last year, just before switching my diet, in an effort to cleanse (my body felt it was needed, but only for that amount of time).  feeling the need to fast was my indication to start eating raw.  i haven't felt the same need since improving my diet.

the way i felt, physically and mentally, after completing the fasting period cannot be described.  it was awesome.  now i'm waiting for my body to tell me when, if ever again...  and if i do, i'm not sure what to do about crackers anymore, either.  i'll make that decision when the time comes.

i did an "accidental" fast of nearly a week last year around thanksgiving, not because i felt the need to, but because i ran out of food and money...  i think it's mentioned in my journal.

best wishes.
