Comments on: Posting my poo to Germany http://yeswehavenobananas.net/archives/102 Examining our dysfunctional relationship with food and nature.

It feels good to be finally getting some actual people looking over the blog - though that'll certainly mean having to look over it, tidy it up, and maybe make a couple of editorial judgements here and there relating to content. No drain reading your comment or posting back :) Not as yet at least, though if the site becomes more popular I'm sure I'll find time to worry about my obligations. But yes, I am reassessing it all at the moment to the extent that I want to spend writing time writing posts. It may be that I turn my hand to trying to write more fiction/ exercises etc to be posted on the sister site, masterkidderminster.net The solution certainly isn't easy. I'm kind of resigned to that - though I've just now been resenting a trip to the Lake District, to Scafell pike in particular with a bunch of notorious beerheads, imagining doing a runner on them to hitch hike home. Still, I'm feeling sanguine right now about the fact that the more you put in to life the more you get back. Some of us don't have the option of just taking it easy, but sometimes we get our rewards too. Incidentally, I suppose that when I read over my old posts I will see how little of the pleasures I get in life make it to the page. I suppose I often come to post when I'm stressed out and depressed. It's not that this isn't in some way representative. It is. I get very stressed and am perennially frustrated at the state of my writing. All the same, I enjoy my work, say. Take care hi K ha,

I've been suffering from 'candida overgrowth' or something for over a year near and have been on and off exclusion diets and various supplements and blah blah blah. So anyway I'm aware that reading this may be a drain on your time, as is posting on the blog in the first place, as it is for me in writing this, but, for what it's worth, it was kind of strangely comforting to read so many posts which I can directly relate to - the food dilemmas, the emotional and mental states which swing back and forth etc. You know the drill. I wish I knew the solution. Well I have just spent a while reading most of the stuff you’ve written and can relate to a lot, if not most, of it.

I was looking horrible. Thanks a lot for your tips and your encouragement. I've still got a lot to learn about formatting etc. but it's a lot more visually appealing. Hopefully might start getting myself some readers some time soon :) Yeah, it was quite an experience! And as I say, my diet and consequently my mood, behaviour and concentration went to hell for that week. not to mention my stool, which John Harvey Kellog would not have been overly happy with (but, sorry, that's another post I've been meaning to write, I'm getting ahead of myself). I enjoyed reading your blog earlier on today :-) And thank you for my first ever comment, almost. My last one wasn't so great. It's hidden away on masterkidderminster.net somewhere and came about due to a misunderstanding of the kind I'd been all too familiar with in the read world. Basically, I hadn't been too clear in my post and another blogger took it as me being prejudicial. Oh well. Anyway, it's timely, I was just getting down about spending so much time trying to write these blogs and nobody reading them. And as for my number 2, now I just have to wait for the results. Hope it can clarify things a little. Hi Renaeden,

I think it took some courage to send your #2 off to Germany. My stepdad was also asked to provide a stool sample in this way for his doctor, it was to do with research or something. And my stepdad just couldn't do it. Wow, your blog is so much different now!
