me:
In the past, when I went maybe 36 hours with no food, I always had major
desires for popcorn. It does seem that almost as soon as I decide to try
a fast I get very hungry. One of the fun parts of owning a BB!

me:
I was sort of interested in the cleansing idea behind fasting. In the
past, I did so many drugs, SO many, and smoking etc. that I hoped I
might clean the ol' body out. My tongue fuzz will probably be quite
toxic. Probably could substitute for bodhi pot.


>Your BB ever wonder if your BB is being fed properly w/o RAF?

me:
Yes, actually. This is a concern. It is my understanding that a small
amount of supplementation will cope with the enevitible deficiences.

me:
Hum, ARF(RAF) is that what they are asking for when they bark? Actually,
I am very concerned about our dogs health. I guess it would make a lot
of sense to feed them RAF as opposed to CAF. Our expences are very high
taking care of all the animals. But then we could reduce vet bills with
RAF I imagine. Anyone know about this??? What about those that put their
dogs and cats on veggie diets. Carrying it a little far???

me:
Told the pigs(4) last night at chow time. They were overjoyed! They
started talking about pooling their allowances and hiring someone to
speed up the dying process. Don't worry though, I told them that would
be highly inappropiate and they would just have to wait. They live about
30 years, so there's time.

Bodhi, way to go with the trees!!! I love trees, I really do. They are
amazing and beautiful. I think there is one old pine that is around 3000
years old! I have a pretty pessimistic outlook on the enviorment though.
As long as humankind keeps reproducing at its' current rate I see nothing
but gloom. Of course, in the long run, we may wipe ourselves out and then
everthing will grow up again. The only way out, I see, is a radical change
in the consciousness of humans. This is why my activity is on an inner
plane ie: meditation ala J.Krishnamurti style. At this point though, I
really am not sure about much. Will report back after enlightenment
during fast :) (EDF)


Peace
