excellent "quote of the day"

I recently read a book called passing for thin that I had gotten from Amazon.com. when I went back to amazon I found they now have author blogs and the author of that book - Frances Kuffel had a blog on "my" page. She has a daily newsletter with a AFG (angry fat girl) quote of the day. some of them are just so awesome. I really liked this one. All their "helpful" comments imply that if I'd only do_______, my problems would be solved. Like it's all within my grasp, able to be managed and mastered, if only I would try harder, longer, better. As I nod my head in polite and pathetic appreciation for their input, I scream inside, "Shut up. Shut up. Unless you've been lost in this particular section of hell yourself, don't you dare try to give me directions." Martha Manning

I know several people that could use an earful of that one!

I may have to copy/paste that.... Best Wishes- Dx

Its makes as much sense as telling a deaf person to just try harder and they can hear the symphony. Nowhere Man/PH/Jay
