Sure refreshing to hear similar thoughts, feelings, experiences, actions to
what I've been thru  (& still going thru).   Glad you're contributing here.
 Please keep it up.  No, you're not going nuts (stick to raw ones if you
are), 'tho Tom might say it's that onl  raw fooders mental imbalance creeping
in!  :-)

Why would a desire to get out of the city be impossible to cope with?  I had
that desire at about age 10 & I coped with it at age 22 when I moved to the
mountains.  NOW, I dunno if I'd have moved to the mountains, 'cause we DO
have winter here at 6,200 ft. elevation & nothin' edible grows but pine nuts
& squirrels1

'ealth & 'appiness to ya!
