It makes them feel good? Allows them to justify the donut they are craving for breakfast?
They're eating tofu and other healthy stuff for the most part. My sil went back to Thailand recently and she's "fat" compared to the people living there. She's maybe a size 4. MAYBE. But when you're a size 4 and everyone else is a size 0, I guess you feel huge?

Speaking of the pet free bed, we went searching for the cat. She's sleeping on my bed. In my husband's spot. Which is okay, because he sleeps on mine and I sleep on the edge. :p

(I brush her, she barely sheds. Allergies~ But seriously, if you like pet snuggles but hate pet hair, regular brushing seems to do the trick. I do it while watching TV so it's not a 'chore.')

My middle brother's girlfriend is currently on a serious diet and exercise program to lose weight. My sister-in-law is going to the gym almost every day.

They're both smaller than one of my thighs. (They're both Asian.)

I want to hate them......... and I'm extremely confused by their need to go to the gym.
Believe me, I go to the gym and I have been exercising about three days a week but I've never been skinny. It must be my genes. I've met people who eat fast food like there is no tomorrow and they are super skinny. I'm just waiting for the day when they blow up as they brag about their bodies. Okay there I said it!!

My husband comments sometimes I should open a dayhome (home daycare) because I have experience with kids (12 years teaching assistant) and several of my relatives are teachers.

There are no words to describe my terror.

Children.............

I like cats.

I could do it, but I'd rather clean toilets at Wal-Mart.

I've been to three in Calgary (Shawnessy, Marlborough, and Southland). They're okay, but I'm not a big Wal-Mart fan. I prefer to shop with Canadian companies like Canadian Tire and Rona.

Somehow based on all your comments about children I can not see you liking nor surviving turning your home into a dayhome..

I inserted myself into the drama on the forum today. Sigh... I'm sure I'll regret it.

I'm the type that favors child-free flights and restaurants. I made the choice to not have them. I respect others right/ability to have them. However, there seems to be a disconnect on parents respecting my rights to not be disturbed. But because it's children, I'm the bad guy, the evil jerk. Not the parents that don't teach their 4 year old to eat nicely.

Actually, one of the users decided to try to make a poll................ if you read my comment, you'll probably giggle.

I didn't bother to get involved in the original thread because it's nothing but a 'look at me' whine fest. I rarely feel sorry for others because a) we're all responsible for our own choices; b) no one feels sorry for me and I've been through worse............

We have popcorn seasoning. Some white cheddar perhaps?
