Not believing Audri, Val said, "no. Seriously. You seem keyed as tight as a drum." Eyes wide and fists clenched, Audri said, "I'm relaxed! I meditate! I take cbt! I practice mindfulness in nature when my agoraphobia abates enough that I can venture outside!" Giving up, Val said, "sorry. Forget about it. I was wrong. You're totally comfortable in your body." Still wound up, Audri said, "body issues? Is that what we're on now? What about you? I mean, I haven't heard you burp or fart once! And I saw your body at the hot springs, and you saw mine. I'm the one who knows how to let go, to be comfortable in my body, and eat what pleases me even if it's often healthy things. Whereas I'm guessing that you live off of a diet of celery, and work out every day." Sticking her nose in the air, Val said, "It's not just celery. It's also cigarettes and diet cola. And it's not for my looks, it's for my health."

      Rumsfeld is STILL slowly half-killing millions with that fucking Aspartame poison, possibly, & ironically, his worst crime in terms of quantity of victims. Quality of victims is more difficult to quantify, there’s several atrocities to pick from.

      Cigarettes? Generally not, the processing does some weird things to them. Tobacco though does have a *few* medicinal uses, in *very* small quantities. Like the equivalent of one or two cigarettes a week.

    Chris, In Panel 2 Audri says “I take CBT” Does she mean CBD a cannabid drug sometimes used for relaxation? or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which one doesn’t really “take” but could be used to help with anxiety or something else I’m not familiar with…

    Thanks for SpaceTrawler. Having a little trouble keeping the body swapped Audri and Val straight in my head. The skates and handbells are hilarious, but they help.

    Très amusant. Val and Audri arguing about body health when they’re in somebody else’s bodies in another planetary system. I’ve tried, but for the life of me, I can’t imagine a situation more spaced out.
