Re: To Olivia, some comments on your fast

Hello, this is Olivia's Husband,

Thanks mouseclick, and everyone who's responding. Olivia is fine. I didn't agree with her fast breaking food choices either, but after 42 days of not eating, I didn't have the heart to try to stop her from eating what she wanted. She only does this for the first meal, though. The rest of the refeeding, she is generally careful and nutritionally selective.

I'll make this quick, because I don't want people to think Olivia's being rude. We'll be on a Jewish holiday, as well as Shabbat (Sabbath or Saturday) for a couple of days. Orthodox Jews don't do anything close to work on most of these days, (which sometimes includes writing or typing), and Olivia is careful to not offend anyone in her community. Jewish sects also don't agree on which day certain holidays should be celebrated, so Olivia doesn't take any chances, and tries to be careful to be respectful on all potential holy days.

While we don't agree on everything, I generally go along with her, and support what she does, and she always does the same with me.

If we don't respond immediately this weekend, please don't be offended or think we are ignoring you. Olivia reads everything that you write.

Also, we have no problem with comments about her health or life being in danger, as long as they are supported with reason, theory, experience, or science, and are genuinely caring and not shrouded in comments like "You dumb broad, you should be in an institution!", etc. etc. So please don't hold back valuable information you have, out of a concern Olivia might be offended. We are here to learn and want to hear everything you have to say. No post is too long to read. I, for one, don't want my wife to get hurt or die, so any help we can get, we'll take. Olivia also has two Masters Degrees, and is used to reading technical and jargon laced passages.

Olivia will respond soon, and you probably won't hear from me again, as I shouldn't have jumped in earlier, anyways.

Sincerely,
Not a faster (yet), Just The Husband. :)
