Good morning Berniacs!

[Admiral Loinpresser]

I am starting a juice fast this morning and it feels great. What the hell does that have to do with Bernie?

My wife is considering running for office (can't go into details yet) as a Bernie Sanders Democrat and some pros think she can win in a purple district.

So I have to lose weight and get presentable, such as I am.

So I am loving me some Berniacs this morning, looking forward to a big adventure in the revolution (possibly) and getting my health together. Life is good!!

2. As we speak,

drinking my first juice (all organic):

two green apples (local)

5 stalks of celery

8 stalks of kale

one cucumber

half lemon, peeled

and an inch of ginger to avoid nausea.

It tastes great!

4. Yes! Joe Cross' Green juice!

I drank that every day before work for 7 months until my digestive system decided it didn't like it - flared up my colitis.

You will drop weight fast.

I LOVE THAT JUICE. I would live on it if I could.

6. G'day, mate! n/t

14. Did you mean a "p"inch of ginger???

An inch of ginger is a lot.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

16. Probably it was closer to half an inch.

I may go smaller, but without it, the juice makes me nauseous for some reason.

21. Being a REALLY, REALLY obnoxious grammarian here...

...and mostly because it's rather funny (in my REALLY, REALLY obnoxious opinion):

Nauseous and nauseated are often used interchangeably, with nauseous being the more common word of choice.

To many people, the following two sentences have exactly the same meaning:

Example 1: I feel nauseated when I am nervous.

Example 2: I feel nauseous when I am nervous.

In both sentences, the speaker is referring to a feeling of queasiness. It is common to hear the second example above, which uses nauseous in place of nauseated. These words can have two distinct meanings (though few seem to make the distinction): nauseous referring to something that actually causes a feeling of sickness, and nauseated referring to the actual sensation of sickness, as illustrated in the following sentences:

Example 3 (nauseous-correct usage): The smell of rotten eggs is nauseous.

Example 4 (nauseated-correct usage): The smell of rotten eggs makes me nauseated.

Example 3 illustrates the restrictive usage of the word nauseous, referring to the smell of rotten eggs, something which causes a feeling of sickness. In Example 4, nauseated, not nauseous, is used to refer to the actual feeling of sickness caused by the smell of the rotten eggs.

Please note that the word nauseating is synonymous with nauseous in that both refer to something that causes nausea. To say, “The smell of rotten eggs is nauseating” is the same as saying, “The smell of rotten eggs is nauseous.”

Sorry, Admiral! This takes my mind off of the goings-on in GD-P, and for that I thank you!

Good luck!!

3. This is fantastic news!

Please keep me informed. I am pretty sure our connections are similar but if there is anyone I know that you have not become familiar with we can take care of that real fast.

If this is what I think it might be I have a large house that is perfect for parties, especially something like this.....just sending out some possible help here.

Have fun on your fast. I was never able to make it 3 whole days, I caved every time but it did feel very good doing what I did.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

7. I'll PM you if/when we are getting ready to launch. n/t

[artislife]

18. Wow. Totally cool! nt

[azmom]

5. Wow. Very cool. You are going to look

Fantastic and make nice arm candy for your wife.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

8. LOL.

From your lips to God's ears.

[stillwaiting]

9. Best of luck to you and your wife.

We have to find good strong progressives to run on the issues, and I wish your wife the best of luck should she run.

Good strong progressives CAN win when we run campaigns based on platforms and issues. The public is on our side on almost all of the issues we care about.

[dreamnightwind]

10. Wow, that's awesome!

I LOVE IT! People running as Bernie Sanders Democrats, now we're talking!

I wish I lived where you do so I could vote for Mrs. Loinpresser! Hell, I'd just love to see that on a ballot, that would be pretty funny.

All the best, and good luck getting in shape, positive endeavors all.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. Bernie Sanders Democrats. Yay us!

Good luck to you both!

[Duval]

12. Hoping victory for your wife, best of

health for you, and a hearty much needed revolution for The People.

[JDPriestly]

13. K&R. Say thanks to your wife for being willing to run.

And here's to all the DUers who decide to serve their country whether on the school board or in Congress or in Bernie's administration.

Thank you to you all.

[Live and Learn]

15. That is great and exciting news. Please keep us informed. nt

[Jack Rabbit]

17. Wow, a Bernie Sanders Democrat

Our very faction to challenge the Robert Rubin Democrats (aka the Republican wing of the Democratic Party).

[artislife]

19. Great big good morning right back at you

Mexico seems to have survived without the damage we all feared, we have a great group of people and someone is getting healthy.

Woot woot!

[Omaha Steve]

20. Maybe we can do a little Act Blue fund raiser when she does the paperwork

It worked for Bernie.

[mak3cats]

22. K&R to this idea! (eom)

[emsimon33]

23. Good luck to your wife.

We need more Sanders democrats to step up...even in districts held by corporate, Third Way, neoliberal democrats.

[Enthusiast]

24. I wish you the best, Admiral.

Good luck to your wife!

[sellitman]

25. We need to get local Dem's elected everywhere.

The GOP controls over 25 states. That is totally unacceptable.

It can only lead to Gerrymandering and other foul anti voter legislations.
