There's a certain smell that I can't describe that makes me not want to get too close to people sometimes.
Beautiful photos! I loved all the colours.
When you're done harvesting, do you throw out the soil? Or can you plant more seeds on top of it?
I am curious..doesn't it make you bloated to eat cooked food on a high fruit diet?
Thanks for this post. This is my first 811 winter and since persimmons went out of season a few weeks ago, I've been having a really difficult time surviving on bananas, oranges and apples. I really still don't know what to do but I feel better knwo…
Woah, cool. What kind of leaves are those?
Are you going to be forced to do things like get vaccinations?
Woah...this looks very interesting.
Yeahh...I am so dehydrated! You are right about the yellow urine!
Yes this may be the problem. I will try more greens. Romaine has been tasting so good lately, but it doesn't seem to have much sodium.
exercising 45-1 hour about 5x a week.
fat yesterday was 7%.
Another possibility is that you don't have enough sodium in your diet from vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables. I had the exact same problem as you describe a couple summers ago with the exact same two fruits--bananas and melons made me fe…
how much are you exercising and how much fat are you eating? Smaller meals may help, but I'm curious what the cause of this problem is? :/

Jory said… - Oh no, I haven't been forced to get the flu shot, h1n1 or anything like that. But to be able to get into the program you do have to have all the necessary vaccinations and get the Mantoux tuberculosis test . That is required for any medical school though and pretty easy to falsify if you really wanted.

Sam Spaiser said… - I just took my Organic Chem final. I really hope I scored high enough to move on to the next class, my whole college career schedule would be entirely altered if I don't make it to Organic 2. I have a set of rings and a pull up bar in my apartment. Sometimes I go to the gym if I need added weight for something. Hopefully eventually I'll get a weighted vest. I'll also go to the gym if I need a higher bar to hang my rings from, granted their bars are not much higher then mine. I also have yet to find a single bar around chest height to work on beginner multiplane pulling variations like pullovers. My pulling capabilities are still pretty weak right now anyway so training pullups, pull up negatives on the rings, jumping pullups on the bar, and rows on the rings help. I find training negatives for extended periods of most exercises helps. I do a lot of graduated negative single leg squats into a chair, which are great. Negative headstand push ups. There's an infinite amount of options.

- Ah, tell me about it...exams.....I'm terrified of what I have coming. I'm afraid of failing organic chemistry. Sometimes you just have to go for it and do something a little bit over your head, and then it ends up being worth it. Yea, I know that my parents always tried to do the best for me, even if they were a bit ignorant to certain things, they still took care of me very well and always tried to give me the best. Nah, I can't do backflips, although I used to on trampolines. To get a good idea of the type of training I do, check out www.gymnasticbodies.com You only get better at this stuff by training, and if you look at the workouts of the day, almost 100% of the time I scale the workouts back significantly, because most of these exercises take a great deal of strength that I have not worked up to yet. I do bodyweight as well as static exercises. I train on the rings, I train in handstands, on parallel bars, single bars, chairs, tables, and whatever else I can find that works. I always say, I only stretch what I strengthen.

- I actually just ordered a device called the TLC-X from tlctugger.com, a bi-directional tugger that allows one to focus on both inner and outer skin. It will not be the same as a real foreskin, but from what I've heard, it's much better than what I have now. And the thing is, I'm not ashamed to talk about it, because this practice needs to end. Well, I really shouldn't lecture you, you didn't ask about this. So through all of this, I try to find things to get excited about, which is why I'm the president of the Indiana University chapter of Young Americans For Liberty, and why I train gymnastics, and seek out places like Hawaii, and studying primates in South Africa and Chimps in Uganda because I need to focus my efforts where my energy is worth while. And I figure that if I end up in a history textbook or an equivalent, or if I'm talked about 100yrs from now for something I did, than what I did was worthwhile.

- Hawaii's cheap, and in fact for me it was free. If I were you I would just either to a WWOOFing farm, or find a community that accepts work trade. Everything you need is pretty much available, and there's a free bus around the big island. The weather's always nice so you can sleep outside (although for me it got a little cold at night, 67 or 68 degrees Farenheit). I didn't find it a problem to get what I needed there. It can be tough keeping a good mindset, but I know that emotional poise is important. I all too often let certain things consume me, usually for a given period of time, then I recover, then move on to something else, and sometimes back to something I focused on previously. For the past few months I had a breathing problem that consumed me, from making the mistake of having nose surgery in May to fix my septum, of course they also messed with my turbinates (they didn't tell me about that part) and it impaired my breathing. My breathing has been improving, since then, but very very slowly. Before that I was actually worried about the fact that the USA is being destroyed and the value of the dollar being destroyed and I was worried about my family loosing all of our money because my dad doesn't understand this. Going to Hawaii made me realize how great living in the right area with absolutely nothing can be. Hitch hiking, sleeping on the road, fruit growing everywhere, it was fun. In the midst of everything I suffered much depression over the fact that my parents had me circumcised as an infant. I was upset at loosing around 50% of the nerves on my sex organ and 80% decreased sensitivity. I felt like I was robbed and violated, and that resolutely I was reproductively unfit, and this is not how things were meant to be. That I would not be able to share intimacy with the girl who I should choose. That my parents intruded on my private life. Instead I'm trying to focus my efforts on action, and am currently restoring my foreskin. continued.

- I'm not really planning on doing anything with my degree. Degrees do make you money, only satisfy the thirst for knowledge. I'm not worried about what to do after college. There is a possibility that I could continue my program in grad school and conduct real research and studies on populations. Or, maybe I'll get a job on a presidential campaign for the 2012 election, there just may be a good liberty candidate. If I do go to grad school then hopefully I'll be able to find one that fits my needs in a warmer climate. Otherwise I can go back to Naples, Fl where my family has a home, and possibly work on building my wholesale business selling Waveshields. I'm not concerned about money though. As long as I stay on my current path, opportunities will present themselves. Heck, I was happiest living off the land in Hawaii, and I wouldn't mind going back to the community I lived at there.

- yea, 3eb disappeared for 5 or 6 years. Kind of like Blink 182, but they are back now also. It's great being able to create my own program, though I'm also excited to get out of the temperate climate, it's starting to get really cold here, and this is just the beginning. I guess Canada is probably colder though. I've only got 3 semesters left here, and the people are great, so it shouldn't be too bad.

Andrew said… - Glad you like the facial expressions.
I haven't noticed a fermented taste to my plantains., but I'm careful about where I put them for ripening. I try to keep them as well ventilated and as dry as possible. Are you clearing off any mold that appears on the skin? That might help.
Hope icy Canada is treating you well.

Congradulations sounds like a good plan. Only thing is what kind of doctor are you planning to be? I don't know about Turkey but medical school here really screens for anyone who thinks outside the box and gets rid of them or does not let them in. t…

Ok, but what do we do in the interim while we're learning how much is enough?
I send some money too. I am unemployed right now and from the looks of things this might last a long time, otherwise I'd be giving more.
I can't remember the exact brand of spiralizer..I'll look it up and let you know Kaye.
