Unfortunately, the way this case is being handled makes it look like sex trafficking is a workers are legitimate business human beings.

Oh well fuck this prissy bitch.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING SHIT

My friend’s fiancé was once like ‘Hohoho, if you rape a prostitute, is it rape or shoplifting, hohoho’ and I practically shouted ‘It’s rape, sex with someone who does not or cannot consent is rape, please stop talking immediately’.

Exceedingly well put!

Thanks!

You say that you know about the effects of certain high dose steroids, but you clearly don’t know much, or you would understand that the kind of rapid and dramatic weight gain I described is not nearly so unusual as you appear to imagine.

True dat!

Glad you’re recovered, Yeppers. I am better too but will have really fun bone degeneration issues foreves because of the long ‘roid period in my life. We’ve all got our weary loads to tote.

Well, I’m once again an employed person. I start in 2 weeks, and I’m so relieved but also like, man, there goes my free time. I have lots of fun things coming up though, so that will make for a nice transition time. Unrelated, yesterday in yoga, I tried a new pose and fell flat on my head and also somehow cut open my…

Whoa... the Uber drivers down under sound insane. You better run; you better take cover.

Yup. Me too. Only I can’t lose weight even if I starve. The only amusing thing to come of this is that my doctor said he’d write me a note for my mother explaining that no, I CAN’T lose weight and it’s nothing I’m doing. That cheered me up. Didn’t take him up on it, but knowing it’s an option makes me smile.

Prednisone is Monkey’s Paw of medications: you bargain to take it so it treats your autoimmune condition (so you don’t die), and then it causes a whole bunch of other problems (diabetes, weight gain, bone loss, tooth decay).

Believe me or not as you like.

I agree that being fat is extremely dangerous and must be discouraged, but I also think meanness is dangerous. I didn’t watch the video and am not interested in fat shaming (I got into this discussion for other reasons), but I am pretty sure we are not going to solve the obesity epidemic by making nasty remarks…

I’ve had to be on Prednisone on and off my entire 54 years to save my life from asthma attacks. It always made me gain about 60 pounds, even when I was in my 20’s. NOBODY BELIEVES YOU.

I think you raise some very good points here. We do seem to be having a number of different discussions, most of which seem to skirt the main issue.

Oh, so sorry! Keep working at it (but being, you know, super patient with yourself and your poor body, which is, after all, honestly trying its best and just a little confused by all the crap it’s been through) and you will definitely prevail!

Great job not going blind! You are awesome!

This needs more stars! I haven’t laughed so hard since yesterday’s baby elephant video. Ang cute mo!

Prednisone also sucks, except when it’s, you know, saving your life and stuff.
