That's funny. And incredibly clever. You should copyright the whole paragraph. :)

P.S. Very Woebegonian.

Greetings Fabulous People

155 today. Cutting back on wine seems to stop the weight gain. Now if only I could get a few off. Yay Ann on the veggies. Last night we had costco veggie barley soup which is quite good and a good way to get veggies in. Added some chicken won tons.

Diamond D I so remember the packed down snow. It was't just packed down flat - it made huge bumps and ruts that was like driving on railroad tracks. Wouldn't blame you if the entire state went on strike until June.

Good on you Ann for joining the writers guild. There are a lot of writers groups out here and my sister in law belonged to one. I hear the Iowa City workshops are fabulous.

Ya'll remind me that its Thursday and the thrift shot accepts stuff today. Gotta go fill a basket full. Yesterday I got rid of a huge bag of hand towels.And the "dump" bag in the garage is growing. I will need at least two big bags to make it worthwhile to pay the fee.

Studio time today and then a trip to the health food store. I seem to go there every other day now to get an entree for the day. Thinking of pork tenderloin tonight. Or meatloaf. It is overcast and chilly so warming comfort food needed.

BB hope Becca feels better. And yeah the fatty stuff hurt. I remember being referred to as "that tubby little blonde". Only in my 60's after 9 years of not being morbidly obese am I getting over that. Still think of myself as a fat girl sometimes.

Cheers all. Diane S

I went to a small high school in a small town down South, which meant I got to join in many activities that "big girls" likely would not have had entrée to in a larger school. For example, my senior year I was chosen as a cheerleader, a role I enjoyed very much.

Late in the football season the president of the local Lions Club walked up to me at halftime and said (not in a mean way), "Ann, none of us up there in the stands can understand why you're fat, because you jump around out here more than any of the other cheerleaders."

What was the correct response?

__ "Thank you"

__ "What the **** "

__ "Bless your heart."

There are no words, are there? Someone once told me I didn't move like a fat person, offered also as some sort of positive observation.

And that was my response -- no words. Only big round eyes and a big round mouth.

P.S. The next spring, the Lions Club gave me their annual college scholarship for academic excellence ($100), which I sincerely appreciated, which I guess goes to show that every idiot's comment really does not require a response. I should remember that.

Bless your heart, of course!
