Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

But, honestly, I made enough noise about being happy with the weight gain that I'm surprised so many people think I should be happy by dropping it all, and faster than I put it on. Didn't they believe me?

A friend of mine had ovarian cancer and people kept telling her how great she looked because she was losing weight.

She'd been thin to begin with, she was literally wasting away. And she was generally some shade of yellow. She did NOT look great.

But, hey, less weight = look good and if Cancer patients can't learn that well, sucks to be them.

WTF is that?

It's actually very refreshing in summer drinks. Like with soda and a splash of rose's lime juice.

My MIL got a scale as a present from her husband when she was pregnant, because he thought she was letting herself go (she was not). She has not been right about her weight since.

My DW actually put on lots when pregnant, but took it all off while breastfeeding, which I consider way more healthy and cool than starving yourself and your baby.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, there used to be egg white in all kinds of drinks, but I've never actually seen on in the wild. Or been tempted to go looking, really.

Someone guy offered me his seat on the bus a few weeks ago. Pretty sure I know what that was about, and am seriously reconsidering the sweater I had on. (I declined, FTR.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That's so many kinds of wrong, I can't even begin to address them.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, man, WTF? I would have beaten him to death with it.

....and I don't need to address all the different kinds of wrong, because Zenkitty just did it for me. Beautifully, I might add.

Punishingly Intricate

Zenkitty is me. That hubby'd have gotten the scale upside the head.

I've had them, because one friend's family has a tradition of gin fizzes for holidays. Except they make them as vodka fizzes. Egg whites and vodka and powdered sugar and lime juice, I think? Something like that. Then froth them up in a blender with some ice? DELICIOUS.

Ooh. Even if she weren't pregnant, that'd suck.
