Yes! I haven't been to a buffet in yearsssss, but my parents still resent me for not eating enough and being a bad (buffet) investment.

I'd say let it go. ALL my friends in college were super sheltered and religious and they kinda thought I was a weirdo and a slut for championing premarital sex. They all ended up changing their tune with their first boyfriends and punched their v-cards before I ever got a chance to punch mine. People grow up.

Look at it this way— sometimes the other way has its drawbacks too. I am pretty practical and my fiance is the ultimate romantic. Even though I got him something he actually needed as a gift and requested just a small gift and a hole-in-the-wall ramen house dinner in return (since we're saving up for a big wedding),…

Yes! It's all about the frowny teddy bear face while shaving the chin.

Haha! That's unlikely, but hilarious because I am totally one of those unfunny joke people. Once, after a breakup, when someone asked if I'd lost weight, I joked that I'd had a 180 lb tumor removed. I guess I've never been good at dealing with comments on my build.

I think it might be related, but the opposite. A lot of my older relatives comment freely on everyone's weight, but only in a negative way. There's no winning. I think that's why it affected me so much because I can only assume that that's what all my other aunts are thinking or even gossiping about. Argh!

Yeah— there's no way. I've been the same amount of overweight since high school. Nobody on earth has ever called me too skinny! Good try though! I appreciate the thought. ;)

I get the two confused all the time! Probably because they come bundled together—- especially after eating cheesecake. :)

I could hug you! Thanks for the well-wishes and unfortunately, I think you are right about my aunt. I decided not to reply at all. There's no point— I think she might be the kind of person who wouldn't be able to grasp the concept of why thatz not okay.

Why, oh, why do people think it's ok to make unsolicited comments about the bodies of others???

My favorite is "Day-umn gurl, you shit with that ass?!" But it was meant and taken as a joke. Sorry someone said actually used a disgusting pickup line on you! :/

There are 2 cases of Evil Genius Chocolate Stout in my little fridge, a box of See's Candies Nuts and Chews, and The American Astronaut is on Netflix. Happy Friday to all and to all a good Friday.
