Maybe now that there are a few bodyforms that make designing clothes for plus-size women a bit easier [well done you fashion peeps who can only see size 0! Hey, you're growing!] ... there might actually be some outfits out there which aren't just bigger versions of Stuff For The Thinnies. And more importantly, people…

Aw. I didn't know that. I mean, I knew she got on the motivational speaking circus —and all credit to her for that, or at least for making something positive out of her horrific history — but I'd just assumed she'd graduated too.

*Big sigh* We've all of us had a jackrabbit at one point or another. I once had the 'pleasure' from a random at some formal dinner thing at university. There's me, taffeta skirts around my waist, up against a wall if you can believe that ... Both dress and my tender back skin took some mending post-hook-up. On the…

There, there. 'Infinite Jest' is a very worthy book. The ex was not a great boyfriend [or a great lay, for that matter]. And his DFW obsession was just a leedle creepy stalker-ish.

*Slow clap* That takes some concentration. ;-)

Jeez, we have a winner.

In my experience, any guy with a phone has the capacity to do that. Sorry.

Good god. I'm not sure what worries me more; that these are all facets of the same guy or all different guys. Either way ... commiserations and I hope things are better for you now.

At least it wasn't at the same time.

Oops.

Chuckles. You're right; they can't. But I followed my vet's advice in this case because I was a super-paranoid, tearing-my-hair-out-with-worry owner. :-)

Oh [practically a] snap; one of mine was obsessed with DFW. Did the same thing [made a long rambly phonecall I mean, not the meth thing]. Actually, meth might have helped. ;-)

Oh come on ... someone was going to post it. ;-)

If a guy is obsessed with David Foster Wallace, Kurt Vonnegut, John Updike, Philip Roth, or Richard Brautigan, I consider that a red flag.

Ah well. Each to their own. I'm from the school of thought that believes dogs really shouldn't be eating food that isn't all-natural and sympathetic to their natural status as predators/scavengers. Yes, I know yogurt is natural, but it isn't exactly something that dogs come across by chance. No judgment because I…

Now I'm going to have that Journey song in my head all night. ;-)

You are a courageous and articulate young woman who deserves every good thing in your future. You should be very proud for coming through this with dignity and aplomb. And don't let those teasing types get you down; keep your head high and know that there are thousands of people supporting you and your dreams. Good…

Why can't people get the fact that dogs are animals? They're not little humans. They don't need the same food as humans. They aren't an excuse for one's anthropomorphic desires to fly free.

Bleargh. Just ... bleargh.

Jesus, yes. I mean, what is even in this stuff? I can't even. I would hate to see what comes out of those dogs' behinds after one of these 'treats'. Dairy + dogs? Bad ju-ju. Really bad. Sheesh.
