My love for the humble banana

Posted by Crabby Cancer on January 7, 2009 at 9:53pm in Off topic
Okay, bananas. Why do I love bananas? Why am I going to marry them if it ever becomes legal in the state of New Mexico?Because bananas are healing me. I've been suffering from colitis and Crohn's disease for 12 long years. I'm on day 3 of eating just bananas, and I'm healing...as much as I'd like to be masculine right now, I could cry. Literally. But I won't, cuz I don't want to mess up the keyboard. And I hate it when my makeup runs. Stop I don't wear makeup. AHEM.I'd like to tip my hat to Kasey, who originally guided me to bananas, and who also clarified for me that bananas don't actually do the healing...they just enable the body to heal itself...thanks Kase!And thank you Freelea for bringing me to this site and inspiring me with your videos:)(and if I start thanking everyone who's helped me your eyes will burn out. Seriously, you'll have to start the music on me. Suffice it to say I have a lot of dear people to thank.)So if any of you meet or know someone with colitis or Crohn's, please pass on the good news;)That's all I wanted to say. Thanks family:)CrabbyPS-Oh yeah, I'm totally at a loss for how I'm going to transition out of my banana phase, so please, bombard me with knowledge. Any and all contributions are greatly appreciated:)

    I don't even know if I should comment on that funky and apparently very deliberate banana-dingle...too late.

    Cavendish are amazing, but have you guys tried apple bananas and other varieties?

    I shot a video about finding the apple banana and other more exotic produce in the frigid north here.

      LOL I love it...wait a minute. Bananas have no bones?!

    Yes, ripe bananas are soooo good!
    I find that ripe finger (baby bananas) bananas are much
    easier to digest than the regular standard bananas.
    What's the most bananas you guys have eaten in a day?

    I have been known to consume 3 lbs in one day.
