Silly wow

Just thought I'd share a funny wow... Went to buy some new clothes the other day -- as \ I was tired of constantly pulling up all my old pant and when I went to pay with my credit card, the sales lady looked and looked at it and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Finally she said, pointing to the photo on it, "This isn't you." I thought she was just being nice and I said, "Yeah, I've lost some weight since then," thinking that would be enough but she was serious. She really didn't think it was me. She insisted on seeing my driver's liscense too, though I pointed out it also looks like the old me. I guess it's time to retake some photos...s

Awww thanks Sharon, that's so nice of you! And when are you going to put some pictures up so we can see your pretty face?

Totally understand. I am a writer for our local paper and was kind of hesitant too, though I didn't keep it a secret at work or anything. Now I'm actually writing an article about gastric bypass and the editor has asked if I'd also write a first-person column to go along with the article... Guess the cat will be out of the bag then! Not really worried about it though. Hopefully it can help some people. (By the way, I got to actually be in the operating room observing the surgery last Monday. It was the coolest thing ever!)

Ahh, another journalist!!! I'm a sports editor at a small weekly paper and everyone wants to know when I'll be getting a new pic for my column. How cool is that???? I decided I couldn't hide from the attention so I just embraced it. I would love to read your first-person account. Is it online??? Todd

Oh that is funny. You are like the Citi Bank ID theft. EXcept IT IS YOU! Great going and I guess we better all look at the photos. I shop at the same place all the time so no one pays attention to my photo. Never crossed my mind if I go some where else. Oh did you get your new clothes or did they put you out of the store LOL
