An elite Spanish mountaineer just emerged from a cave after nearly a year and a half alone underground, telling supporters she didn’t want to come out because “I hadn’t finished my book.”
Beatriz Flamini, 50, who spent 500 days — and two birthdays — in isolation about 230 feet below the ground outside of Granada, returned to the surface Friday, unaware of the Ukraine war, the end of COVID-19 restrictions and the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
“When they came to get me, I was asleep,” said Flamini, whose underground stay was planned to end on her 500th day. “I thought something had happened. I said, ‘Already? Surely not.’ I hadn’t finished my book.” Asked if she ever panicked while underground, she answered, “Never. In fact, I didn’t want to come out!”

Didn’t Joe Biden hide in his basement for about as long?

What did she do for hygiene?
On second thought, maybe I don’t really need to know.
But, she probably had a nice sharp Bowie Knife by her side.
Good for whitling and neutralizing oversized centipedes.

Book not done. Sounds like serious writer’s block, mental issues, or both.

“What did she do for hygiene?”
When there are no other humans around to object to your odor, hygiene might become not so much of a concern.

I suppose so. It would take me a few days to get out of the fixed habit of brushing my teeth every morning, taking a shower or maybe a quick ‘Bird Bath’ as needed during the week.

Must’ve gone down with about 500 batteries for her flashlights. Lots of weight!

Two more years and she would have comes out to see trannies on horseback and the Statue Of Liberty’s head on the beach.

What did she do for hygiene? Better, was she responsible and 'pack it out'?

If Cher was on Free Republic ( I know)
She would probably use one of her favorite emogis.
Let’s just say, it looks like a milk dud.

Food? Water?
Obviously, she had plenty of both. And as someone on another thread observed, she has quite the tan for being underground (must've had a UV light for health reasons as well).
Food, drink, power, no worries (no internet lol)- did she "survive" for 500 days, or did she scam 500 days of free rent and board?
