It's all about common sense. Most American chocolate just doesn't have enough actual chocolate in it to be worried. And of course, the size of the dog matters, too—a small piece of chocolate that doesn't hurt a 60lb dog might indeed make a 15lb dog ill.

Did this immediately pop into anyone else's head?

I don't, but I'm pretty sure there's something in my town. Puttin' it on my list to check out.

I dunno, it might end up being one of those things that just tickles me every time.

No, it's the mom who is 37.

Good points, for sure! But say most manufacturers go up to a size 16 (we're talking mainstream, affordable brands here, many of which do go to 16). The amount of fabric from 16 to 22 isn't nearly as much as from 4 to 16, yet the manage to still charge the same price for the sizes 14 and 16 as they do the 4 and 6.

"Book."

I don't hate her really, I just find her annoying. But then, I find a lot of people annoying, so I'm a terrible judge.

Dude, it's called clear communication. Something that is even more important on the internets since we have no other way to infer your meaning. We're fully capable of grasping the difference, just as you (specific you) are capable of clarifying it as you write. Problem solved!

This is why I love the Y (or at least my local one). There's way less of the judgey, weird gym culture and way more of the diversity of bodies just working out and playing games.

ahh, this one always makes me queasy!

So Downton Abbey! (except no finger wave)

Let's turn this into a Lucille gif party!

I often greet my dog with a variation of the "heyy brother." I just can't help myself.

Yes, you do mean to sound like a super bitch, or you wouldn't have said it. It's not even just fashion (because in that case, I'd never wear 90% of workout clothes, regardless of size), it's fit and comfort and my ass deserves that at size 22 or any other size.

awesome, I'm off to tell everyone I know to never buy from vintageclothesretro.com.

Yeah, it takes a fuck of a lot more than mental fortitude; it takes a certain amount of physical fitness. But your condescension shows that your dickish brain can't comprehend the actual fact that someone can be larger and still fit.

Right? I recently joined the Y and have been so irritated at the lack of any plus-size workout wear. And I don't want to wear shlubby long pants (because 1-ugly and 2-too hot), I want some damn bike shorts.

Not that weird - that whole "muscle weighs more than fat" thing.
