I found GITMR when it still had around 500 members in it's infancy. I was mostly involved in the Living and Raw Foods Forum that a close friend moderates for the owner, John Kohl. I was looking for more social interaction in a Raw Food lifestyle community when I found GITMR.
I loved the high spirit and energy of this forum leading up to the 2008 Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona. The Raw Humour Group was my favorite place. I am sorry that some of the best threads ever had to disappear when Pete left and the Raw Humour Group's archive disappeared. There were some threads so hot and the posting rate was phenomenal as were all the ROTFL's and LMAO's and Barefoot Artist's number of "spewing barley max over her keyboard"'s or someone else's peeing in their pants they laughed so hard. We were really having a good time and I now have real life friendships that grew out of those cyber interactions.
Then came the shit storm when so many melodrama kings and queens got caught up in the posts over 80-10-10 versus David Wolfe, or whoever and a little war broke out. This grew out of people's reactions to Doug Graham's and David Wolfe's presentations at RSF '08. People felt they has to chose sides over ideology. Worse than that, people felt like they had to be right and prevail in their opinions. None of the perpetrators of those emotional and heated exchanges was willing to bend their knee or just walk away and be happy with their own personal preference on what works for them. Out of this came the melodramas with Durian Rider and others who are no longer here. Some left in disgust and pain having felt abused and some finally got booted off this site for their abusive style. And sadly, some people felt it was no longer safe to share their experiences here.
The negative energy created by these little "wars" spawned the creation of splinter groups, 30BAD and the Raw Humour Club are the two examples. Maybe that's a good thing. Everything changes, it's the only constant in the universe.
You still have me spewing BarleyMax all over the place Uti! Pete and Charles and Pink Lady Apple too! We just don't do it here anymore, but I have to be honest. I consider my Raw Humour friends to be my extended family. We all have our little positions in the family. The RSF Sedona '08 trip was the best trip of my life just being with everyone and then after that it all seemed to come apart. I love you guys. All of you.
Thanks for sending me here today Uti. I rarely ever come here, but I owe this site for giving me my tribe. For that I will be forever grateful. We grow and we move on, but our little family lives on. We're a bit scattered in the wake of everything, but we still are.
B.A. We definiitely need to get together and have another durian party. And, wasn't there supposed to be some sort of tent with cacao wrestling? Can't remember.
I want to raise my vibration at every level, for many reasons. Earthly illusions such as poverty, jealousy, anger, hate, greed, abuse, weigh me down like heavy luggage. It is these very illusions that keep me separate from others and from God. Get...
Thank you guys! For the sauce, I used tomatoes, a spoon of olive oil and a pinch of any yellow spice I could find in my cupboard and some cilantro. I prepare almond milk so I used the leftovers nuts and mixed them with previous ingredients and the...

i had an assigment in a class called Science and the Imagination, (basically Writing meets Science, or sci fi) and we had to watch a sci fi show episode and give some kind of report. That began my addiction to Battlestar Galatica, LOL. It's so good!
Gia, I wish you well and certainly understand the power of this process. Please be careful though; this is a significant process. Nature has the keys, and the best we can ever do is to try to understand and apply her wisdom. Fasting is about givin...
Thank you! Yes, the little one is high raw. He's 90% most days on account of his father pushing some "normal" things like toasted granola and steamed peas on him. Nothing I'll complain about though! He's also still nursing, so he gets a raw transf...
ripped and beautiful :) it may just be me but being so stong, especially in that area, rises the idea in your head of power and that you will soon be sprouting wings.. :)
