thanks for replying, was curious. also learned a new word with 'autophagy'
cannot fathom 24 hours without water, for any reason. so not into ish for health (lighting a cig while typing this), just genuinely find I operate better when I give myself a break from food and guzzle that sweet, sweet H2O. three days
with water is an entirely different world than one day without it
a whole day Nikki? you're a REALLY good Jew, especially if your God won't send you to eternal hell for cheating. did not realize Judiasm has a different idea of punishment for the wicked after death. looked that up and discovered another new word in Gehenna, which sounds like the New Jersey of the afterlife
I come to gfy to learn
glad ya made it through
