Was that a compliment?
Fridays are always SLOWWWWW on the board!
You guys act like you've got lives to lead or sumpin!
Okay......so I was outside with my son & I see my neighbor that I haven't seen in about a month. I decide to be friendly and pop on over for a friendly chat-em-up.
Her 5 year old daughter says......
"You lost weight, huh?"
"Why yes I have sweetie", I say giggling.
"Did you have a baby?" She says!!!
I laughed and said "No."
~THEN~
Her mother(who is about a size 4) says, "If I were to guess....I'd say you were a third of what you were."
I blinked (blink....blink) and did the math in my head.........That would be over 500 lbs!
What the hell!!! Did I look THAT big? I wasn't a light weight people, but I wasn't 500 lbs either.
I'm sure she just didn't choose her words wisely and that she was really paying me a compliment.
Who am I to complain...........I am the queen of this!
I have often said...."Now that I spend less time putting food in my mouth, I have more time to put my foot in it!"
Have any of you received a back-handed compliment or comments of which the intent, you were unsure of?

My life will be absolutely insane for the next 4-7 days (but better for it).
I have some very important, very time consuming projects to tackle over the next week. I'm just giving you a head's up in case you wonder where I am. (Mo)
Last time I was gone for more than 24 hours, Mo sent out a search and rescue team and started checking the paper for my obituary. Mo~Put the paper and the phone down....I'm fine!!
I'll check in when I have time to sit for more than two minutes, but I'll have to be without your kind support for a few days as I climb out of this hole I have so emphatically dug myself into!
Miss you guys already,
C
