Can I Be "Snarky" for a Moment??? :)

Take this as a lesson if you can, Corrie. Some self-reflection and an honest look inside at the feelings you are obviously harboring will only help you to come to peace with the negative feelings you're having.

Noted.  Thank you.

I am glad you came back and didn't  deactivate. This is a good website. I think what some others have posted added fuel to the fire. 

Thank you for adding that.  I appreciate your input.  

If you were 2, 5, 10 or even 15 years old... I would understand that more... As a grown woman... who most likely dealt with fat shaming, discrimination, people opions of you... Etc etc etc... I would think you should know better...

Do I ever have feeling ... "Smile, karma is a ***** when I see someone dealing with life..." ..bet I do...But I don't allow this to be my lasting reaction... As a child I was thought compassion...as an adult - I am in charge of which wolf I feed...

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 "wolves" inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Corrie, I give you credit for reevaluating what you said and taking the constructive criticism in the vein in which it was intended. Too many people on here deactivate their accounts or block people when they disagree with a point of view.

As someone who said some really mean and stupid **** here on OH, I looked at my motivation why I said what I did when it was pointed out to me that it was "not cool."  Sometimes the child comes out in us and we react emotionally rather than thoughtfully.  BTDT.

Glad you're of the ilk who can still learn something and move forward.  We need more like you than the people who consider you a "sister separated at birth."  

Thank you, GeekMonster.  I appreciate that so much!  

I understand your need to vent.   But don't give people this much power over you.   She also apparently may be self absorbed with her own problems, such as her own addiction problems.   Who knows, but don't let it take away from your own happiness, you're doing great!!

Thank you, Kelly.  

You can be snarky...but you'll feel bad later if you find out that she's gaining weight because of a serious medical condition or special meds that she has to take.  I guess if she's menopausal she can't be pregnant, right?
