My hubby got one of the new Nokia Lumia 2520 tablets (he's been wanting a tablet for-evar and I got a super good deal on it), but otherwise, Christmas is canceled this year. We had to make an emergency trip to the east coast when hubby's dad passed away right after Thanksgiving, and it ate up my funding.
I distinctly recall one woman making herself Internet Famous by complaining on facebook about how "fat" the starving kids in Africa were, so... Apparently not.

Most of the time people are more than willing to show off, even if all they have to show off is raging cluelessness.
That's a firing offense, that...

Take a look at this thread and bear in mind that many, many trolls have been coming out of the woodwork to tell me what a horrible, shitty, zomgfat person I must be for suggesting that maybe we try and find peace with ourselves instead of turning ourselves into advertisements for what we OUGHT to be (and this IS an…
The only thing she demonstrably is from the gif is "thinner" and I don't come to Jez to get "hey look at this weight loss" shoved down my throat.
I'm a fat bitch all right. :)
"Accomplishment" - I'm sorry, did her weight loss cure world hunger or something?
Because I'm tired of the answers to all of life's problems being, "lose weight, fattie har har har". In a nutshell.
