It happens now and then at the teacher lunch table. I want to scream "STOP OBSESSING!" I don't. But I want to. My other tactic would be to ask, "So...you think I need to lose weight?" However, I'm afraid they would have no qualms about answering.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-33141050275270854142014-01-02T18:35:21.650-06:002014-01-02T18:35:21.650-06:00Oh my gosh, Linda ... anymore recollections from t...Oh my gosh, Linda ... anymore recollections from that dinner party and I'd have been having an 'adult accident' over here at the computer.

This post gave me a smile again today, so thank you for that.

And what's with those charities who have to be bargained with in order to accept your (generous!) donation??! A lot of them have lists on their websites about what they don't accept!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141883867104777688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-59332330760433252332014-01-02T12:05:30.368-06:002014-01-02T12:05:30.368-06:00Hilarious piece, Linda.

I think I would have overturned my pasta on the skinny-assed dieter. hee hee hee Don't you just hate it when people go on and on about their strict diets? <br /><br />I know, I know. I'll be continuing to work hard on weight loss this year. No choice. Blood pressure's up. Not funny.<br /><br />Good luck. Will be chomping down carrots and celery with you!

I'm determined to get it off, but I'm also determined to stay realistic. I know I'll never stick with something as rigid as that lady did, but I'll try to use a little common sense. Thanks for the laugh - we need to remember there are so many more important things in life than the number on the scale!Debra Mayhewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056282304822708054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-87234912617527224292014-01-02T08:24:37.688-06:002014-01-02T08:24:37.688-06:00Mercy, aren't we all in the same place!

A month of eating and if only a day would light our path with visible loss, we could keep at it! It seems by this age we have earned the right to enjoy goodies without consequences!!!!Bookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043111213031211794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-50286910826025861862014-01-02T07:42:39.229-06:002014-01-02T07:42:39.229-06:00Maybe you and I can downsize together?

I took a sailboat lesson at Creve Couer Lake Park over the break, we lost one of the sails, and we were able to use my pair of granny-panties in its place. When it unfurled, it looked like the Nina, the Pinta AND the Santa Maria were ALL sailing into port...<br /><br />Don't downsize too much.
