yes, we ARE very much the same, Andrew :) before i did my 20-day fast i remember reading your posts about dry fasting, and thinking, "wow, i could never do that!" but somewhere after about the 7th day, i found it so much easier if i didn't drink much water at all... and i ended up not even really wanting water. i think i drank maybe only 8 ounces a day, (just a small sip every once in a while), especially towards the end.
