1. Jeepers, Fred. Are you losing weight?

2. You look like a Steinbeck character, or a thinner Thomas Wolfe.

1. this was decidedly a compliment i did NOT enjoy receiving, as i took this over a year ago. i don't remember the exact date, but it's been at least a year, probably 18 months or so. so...um...well, apparently the real questions is, "jeepers, fatso, are you gaining weight?"

2. i think that steinbeck character and thomas wolfe have never been compared before in the history of literature. i'm thinking probably closer to steinbeck, but....who knows. and thomas wolfe is already considerably thinner than me.

gee, i'm detecting a theme to this response. my weight. yikes.

time for some sad AND self-pitying songs now. and a bowl of ice cream.

Wow! What a colossal blunder! What's next? Kicking old ladies? Laughing at poor children? Drowning kittens?

My morbidly obese husband and I are appalled.

(glad no one knows me. look me in the blogeye and swear no one knows who i am.)
(mumbling through my hands) umm, Thomas Wolfe was a handsome dude, you know.
