Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

[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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
the only time i worry about people getting judgy about my grocery cart contents is when i'm at the store buying tampons, chocolate, snacky cakes or other junk food, and booze. And nothing else. But i think that's a pretty self-evident situation.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Speaking as a person who is occasionally fat in public, I have gotten more negative comments while being physically active than at the grocery store.

I silently mutter encouragement to ppl at the gym who look like they are really struggling, for whatever reason. Can't imagine actually saying anything negative. Astonishingly rude.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
in slightly related news: i took a belly dancing class last night (immediately before my hula hooping class...sort of as a warm up) for the first time which was super fun. I was praised for my excellent shimmy. Yes, my wide hips and soft belly are perfect for something! It was guiltily gratifying to be clearly excelling over the skinny ladies in the class who had been enough times to develop wardrobes but couldn't move their hips or get a gratifying hip scarf jingle. Guilty because i was judging them for being skinny. Gratifying because i can be just a wee bit competitive when it comes to anything dance-related and am always uber conscious of usually being the roundest person in the room.

While I feel very uncomfortable during shopping for very different reasons (supermarkets are symbols of death. Too much critical sociology, I know) I cannot believe the rude people are! I can't imagine commenting on other people's choices or make faces at them. And that's coming from an Israeli.
Oh, and thanks for the ice cream, y'all. Got new boots!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Why would ANYONE make negative comments about anyone of any size doing something healthy like exercising?

Compassionately intolerant
No kidding. Quite apart from never speaking ill to strangers who are not hurting anyone being a thing...if you actually have the brainspace to negatively judge someone else's choices, wouldn't you want to be supportive.
Of course, shut the hell up is always a better option.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not a good idea to tear down someone who's at least making an effort. As for criticizing what's in the grocery cart, only a good friend who's expressing concern for my welfare even has a chance of getting away with it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
In jr high a 'friend' of mine shouted at a jogger, "Keep running, honey!" I never spoke to her again.
