I am not a very good pitt-er. And if this has been done, forgive me. And I know that someone pitted Cindy and her fast, more particularly regarding Hollywood’s rolling fast already.

But someone please come along and pit her for claiming to fast while having coffee and ice cream?

:rolleyes:

She can have some cheese with her whine diet.

Traveling “from Venice to the frontier of Italy to the province of Udine which is right at the foot of the pre-Alps \<snip\> is beautiful and the air feels different from other places that I have travelled. It is strangely soft and gentle as is the natural light” sounds like a real bummer. I wish I could travel Europe, even at 22 hours in a stretch.

Stop worrying, assholes, she’s not starving. She’ll be fine.

I \*have \*fasted…it depends on the particular religious holiday how long, but that means NOTHING but water.

Strictly water would be a _strict_ fast, hers is more half-fast.

Some folks think that even water breaks a fast. It depends on the person’s own view as to what it is that breaks or doesn’t break a fast.

Not in her case. She’s actually on a hunger strike, not a fast. Or supposedly on a hunger strike. I’ve never heard of a hunger strike that allowed Jamba Juice Smoothies.

Frontier of Italy? You are not in the fucking Sudan 150 years you retarded cunt. I am truly sorry they were out of strawberry gellato at the Rome airport. You make me like Bush more, because I have not the capacity to hate two people with the same tenacity.

And I have just read the shit about the coup. A fucking coup, Cindy? And, holy shit it happened twice four years apart? What are the odds? I get it, you are not real happy GWB won 2 elections (nor am I) but, like it or not, he won BOTH elections as prescribed by the constitution of the country in which you live. I have never lived through a real coup, but I have plenty of close friends who have. They describe heavy armor on the streets of their towns, police beatings, and pleanty of tears to go around. Hope you find enough icecream cindy.
