My brother in law was told he was “morbidly obese” by his dr’s “charts”. He weighs a lot, to be sure, but it is mostly muscle and a bit of a belly. He plays rugby and football, and is fairly “fit” (other than the bit of a beer belly).

Not only that but HER MOM complained. Not even her.

40-50lbs isn't obese though. Just "generally carrying extra weight". Right?

I married into a LARGE family with 6 aunties who acted as my “day of coordinators” and they were awesome. I didn’t even ask, it’s just the way things were done in “their” culture. I got married a million years ago, but I would def consider shelling out for one for my kids’ weddings, since I only have one sister and…

JEALOUS!!

I could actually see outlines of feet and hands in my stomach when they were big and moving around. But I guess if you were really obese you wouldn’t have such a good view of all that’s going on in there.

I’ve known a couple of thin women who only put on 10-15 lbs during pregnancy. Healthy babies. But they def knew they were preggers.

I was soooo uncomfortable throughout all three of my pregnancies (starting from the horrible hyperemesis gravidarum, then just overall “whaleness”) tbh I am intensely jealous. I mean, I hope the baby is safe, because lack of pre-natal care and all that, but damn lady. Life is just not fair!!

I was so worried I was shitting all over the place when I was pushing with my third, it was distracting. Damn “walking” epidural. The nurses were giggling at me constantly asking “Did I poo on you? OMG Did I poo on the baby’s HEAD?”

and smoking wherever you want.

Love it. Wear whatever clothes you feel good in. In my grad class (‘95, I am ancient) we had 3 gay male students who were also Drag Queens in their spare (?is that the right word?) time, they came in full drag and looked MAGNIFICENT. Not a (negative) word was said, by anyone. And I come from a fairly small Canadian…

I was so excited my prom dress was the same one Monica wore on the season one NYE eposide. I would have been banned from this prom.

Mine didn’t leak ever.

I used to, when I was in the dating pool. I scared a guy off, turns out he was pretty repressed ex-Christian, and the whole witch thing was just too much for his little brain.

All I got from this was “ME me Me me me me me”. Seriously.

I think the best part of your argument, and the one we call all agree upon, is “we don’t know”. No one knows, except those actually involved. So instead of righteous indignation on behalf of people that may not even want it, let’s all just quit flying the save everyone flag and stop.

Nope. You have to heat it very high for an extended period to kill the bacteria. Warming it up just promotes bacterial growth.

I don’t think so. You’d have to heat it to a really high temp for several minutes. If anything, I think microwaving would promote bacterial growth by just warming it to optimal temps. (Much like why you shouldn’t defrost meat in the microwave)

There was another option - that didn’t require nudity.

The whole class is actually there, and all of the students that have chosen to participate are naked at the same time.
