I am 6'2". The chart in my doctor's office states that as a "large framed" person, I should weigh 185, which seems rather absurd.
Ok, that right there? Is insane.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

One detail - the "large plane" was a DC-3, which is not large by modern airliner standards....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am 6'2". The chart in my doctor's office states that as a "large framed" person, I should weigh 185, which seems rather absurd.
I've got to say, I know what 185 looks like on my 5' 9" medium frame, and stretching it out that much more doesn't seem like a great idea.

I am 6' 3" and "small framed" - 185 is a nice weight for me....

Askye, definitely look into the meds. We thought my g'ma was senile because she kept slurring her words and falling down (okay, at first we thought she was a secret drinker). We reviewed her meds and discovered that she was taking an extremely powerful painkiller (that she was supposed to take only when extreme pain) three times a day. Once we got her off of the cyclobenzaprene, she was okay.
saying the receptionist will be out from tomorrow morning for the rest of the week and could I sit at her desk and answer the phones?
tell her "I can't cover all week, I have stuff I need to do, but I could help out for one morning if no one else is available". Then, you look like you're being helpful. and you kind of are.

I'm quite overweight, but my doctor has three chins. He gets away with saying, "Some of these problems will go away if you lose weight," but anything tending towards sermonizing gets him a pointed look at his waistline. I think he's losing weight, though, darn the man.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Ok, that right there? Is insane.
No kidding. I mean, when I was 17, I probably could have managed it, since I was a little chubby around the middle at 190lbs. But now? Not a chance. Especially since I didn't have much in the way of muscle mass when I was 17, either. I had no upper body strength in comparison to now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My parents had the same problem with my Grandmother. They talked to the Elder affairs folks in our state and those folks had a social worker walk them through what to do. My Grandmother ended up loving the new place, by the way.
