Any questions?

Yeah, umm, didn't you respond yesterday before this thread was started? Did loquacious' page result in the extremely thorough second answer?

dano, if you look further down, a bunch of people asked me to post details in the thread. So yeah, loquacious' page resulted in my second answer.

Thanks, Specklet. I too was interested in seeing what you had to say. Unfortunately, your answer seems to be stop doing everything I enjoy and stop eating everything I like to eat. So I'm gonna buy an air conditioner next summer instead.

Yeah. I could save myself some discomfort if I were eating better, but it's a pain in the ass and frustratingly limiting...

But is there food for being a paranoid hypocondriac?

Anyway, I don't know that I eat *poorly* so much as I like spicy, garlic, and tomato. And eat craploads of soy.

Sorry baby, don't know anything for you paranoid hypochondriac types.

I don't eat too badly either, but it's the cheese that gets me. The glorious delicious cheeeeeese...

Oh, cheese. I can't eat so much dairy anymore, and I miss nothing like I miss cheese. I use up my whole dairy allowance on cheese.

Cheese.

I also can't seem to give up the booze. Red wine, more specifically.

And I've been calling myself an occassional smoker because I "only" smoke every other day and "only" at night. Pfft.

Ironic that I know all this crap about diet and yoga and meditation and homeopathy, isn't it?

posted by Specklet 07 September | 15:42

I dunno. It makes you more open minded than me. I just refuse to believe in any of it, because I am going to have my tasty coffee and cheese and spicy whatnot, so I won't feel bad about it.

I read a lot of good advice in that long piece. I am going to try to adopt some of it, as I am able, to see if it works for me.

So, drink room temp drinks. Does warm beer count?

Alcohol's not great, but yep, room temp beer is better than cold beer... And better tasting, in my opinion.
