Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

“Not dead yet!”
Eh, it's okay. I've got the mom-stare down to an art-form. If genetics is any indicator, it'll still stop her in her tracks when she's thirty.

The BMI gets totally odd with tall people too. It claims DH would be overweight at 240. Ha! He would be delighted if he ever saw 280 again. My son Brendon has a higher score than Bobby and he is a rail, a tall rail. I'm just the opposite as it claims I should weight more than is ideal for me. I wear a size 4 ring, not so big boned. The range is more sense making now that I am older, but when I was 30 I was apparently emaciated and didn't know it. It is just a crazy number for everyone but a small fraction of the population.
Didn't they notice that humans come in a variety of shapes and sizes?

IOmemeN, I'm being berated into going to the urgent care to get my ankle checked out.
I feel unbearably stupid and like this is going to be a ginormous waste of time.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Barb, that sounds like a good idea. Good luck, and I hope the wait time isn't too long.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why would it be stupid? Did you miss the part where I fell once and ended up needing surgery? And we didn't figure out that I needed surgery until six months later, because I didn't get it checked out past x-rays?
There's nothing wrong with making sure you're okay.

“Not dead yet!”
It's former jock mentality. Shake it off, I'm okay, no really, nothing a little ibu won't help.
I'm thinking, however, the burning sensation isn't something I can just shake off.

information libertarian
I have known parents who felt their parenting was being criticized when their baby was clocked in at 5%ile for weight (my favorite example being my Asian-American friend with her 5'4" husband's baby, it was always, "tsk tsk, we need to fatten her up,"), so I don't think you have to have a label like "underweight" to find discomfort in the idea of comparing your kid (or yourself) to an abstract number (despite the number's basis in some statistical average, which may or may not actually be valid).

Ankles are very complex and you don't want to inadvertently do more damage. Get it checked out.
