Sure.Never let your brain over-rule your body like you have to do on a 2 hr hike.Unless you are overweight but that is caused by brain over body as well.
And it soon starts becoming theological doesn't it?
Calamity Jane is such an american folklore name, I guess I did not realize you could know other languages...
just putting it all down to youth--
Is it too nosy to ask what is your first language?
spendius, my love of Christ is not mere theology. And we do not have to 'get down' to my beliefs at all. You asked about the bible belt. Leave it there.
I do not like to argue religious questions, do you?
No it is not nosy ollady
My first language is German.
Yeah, Calamity Jane is typical american, that's why I chose
it.
spendius, I won't let my brain over-rule my body entirely,
don't worry.
I was thinking of medical home remedies. Any?
Read posts by Green Witch, and use holostic and herb sites on the net. there are too many to name.
Do you believe diet primarily controls health, or is it heredity?
Both, ollady. Whereas I do believe that a good diet ultimately prevails over heredity (or so I hope). My
father died young due to illness, so I put more emphasis
on proper nutrition.
How about you?
I'm a proper nutrition nut which means you find out what's what first.The nerdy scientific approach.A simple principle is that if it wants you to eat it it is probably good for you.Sweet,juicy fruit for example.
Are orchids edible?
I was blessed with good genes. Native American Indian, healthy dose of Irishman, (german, dutch and whatever) I like a 75% raw diet, not meaning that I eat all lettuce. My diet is heavy with zucchini, yellow squash, cukes, spinach, apples, english walnuts, romaine lettuce, beets and beet greens, carrots, soy milk and a variety of pure juices. Two days ago, I gave in to human fraility--eating two large brownies caked with cream cheese frosting... added great chili hot dogs to that, with lots of onion. Wine and tea before bedtime, and a new garden tomato sandwich.
BAM
(to reflect the sound of Emeril)
diarrhea , big time.
My body knows and loves it's little pure green foods. (sigh)
Almost back to normal today.
I love chicken breast and very lean steak for the only cooked meat to eat. (One can eat roses, pansies, and nasturtuims, not sure of orchids?)
Now, have we been on long and I'm tired, yes, no?
(later)
Some of them are - at least that's what they told us
in Hawaii. Fruit and vegetables are indeed good for us,
and so is beef or any other source of protein.
You want to eat flowers now?
Flowers can't be as bad for me as beef.I think beef is worse for men than for women under,say,45.It levels up after that.Then it's bad for both.
I knew a guy who ate daffodils in season.
Aren't fruits parts of flowers?
So you're over 45 then
fruits are not flowers, they might
grow from flower seeds, as oranges and strawberries do,
but they're not considered flowers.
Where do you get your source
of protein from?
How did you work that out?
I'm not a label freak-"and they stamped him and they labelled him like they do with pants and shirts".
Scientists are not all labellers.Some scientists just observe and ponder using the signals from the fantastic "other".
I notice you quoting on the "lerve" thread.Very nice.You are a romantic aren't you?
I don't label people, I just observe and take notes.
Of course I am romantic.
Isn't everyone?
No.Not at all.Flaubert fans least of all.Consider it sort of negative like.
It's a way of life.More Brave New World.I would be in my element in Huxley's utopia.
We have a big selling magazine here,it's a comic actually,for adults of course,called VIZ and that is dedicated to rubbishing romanticism.They sell it in the shops.There was another called ZIT but that vanished,not without having had the desired effect,we think for over-doing it.There's 12 months in hardback also available and many other product placement items.Some of a very questionable nature.
Have you an American equivalent?
Oh, I am sure we do. However, I am not interested in
romance novels and the likes of it. I prefer romantic things
in my life not reading from a book.
Do you live vicariously through books?
You have to when you're surrounded with wall to wall whadyjcallit.It's no good arguing about that.It's been agreed.Kyoto and all that.It is wall to wall.
So with a good book you can float away from it all if the author grabs you.Proust uses the floaty sensation to grab you.He had me floating on many occasions.There's lots of methods of grabbing the reader.
Don't you think we have to live vicariously through something?
Hell no! Whereas I can see and agree that certain books
do take you away into the world of the subject matter and
author, however, I take it as a form of entertainment,
like a good movie can capture you as well. Yet I would
not like to live vicariously through anything. That is
not a satisfying way of living.
Is it?
A question like that belongs on the philosophy thread.It is a somewhat complex question.One can easily define vicariously in relation to others and not oneself.Someone in Hawii told you what best to eat.
I very much doubt it is possible to live non-vicariously without becoming feral.
I certainly don't find the position unsatisfying in the slightest.It's amusing.
Have you a tendency to the feral?
Haha, I guess so, whereas I would call it "free spirit".
I don't like to be restricted in any way, although I realize
that this is not always possible.
How about you?
absolutely, I am someone who thrives on internal discipline, and hates authority
What is the most free spirited thing you have ever done?
