Beth, I'm cool with that. It's only if you said, "I am eating this persimmon today because it will help me to never get sick and never die, and clearly since you are not eating a persimmon, you want to die," that I would roll my eyes forever at you. But you possess tact, unlike this co-worker.

Seriously, the ice cream comment is not even CLOSE to the worst thing she's said.

Even if you were on her eating plan, you might have decided that Graeter's was worth it and be planning to have celery for dinner. You might have a rare condition that requires you to consume cream and sugar. (Maybe they'll decide my anemia requires mass quantities of ice cream. A girl can dream.)

Yup. But instead it's "I can tell everything about your health from this one thing you are eating on this instance out of hundreds of meals and snacks throughout the year."

And then, of course, on a much simpler level, "I think I should be all up in your business!"

Steph, speaking of Graeters--I just found it in my supermarket yesterday!! All chip flavors, but included raspberry chip. I did not buy any though. Cause, y'know, I care about my health.

Man, I wish I cared about MY health! But then...ice cream!

okay, I'm going to try the hydrogen peroxide thing next time.

Now I want ice cream.

I'm sharing this here , I did share it on facebook. I have a friend who is an EMT, but she has a second job that she doesn't talk about with everybody, until now. She also works in a clinic that does abortions. here is her experience

My friend is a healer by nature: massage therapist, nanny, now an EMT.

Hey Steph, BTW, thanks for trying to kill us with Graeter's when we visited Cincinnati! We barely escaped with our lives, but at least we had some damn tasty ice cream.

Hey, if I'm dying, then I'm taking as many people out with me as I can, in as yummy of a way as I can!

Teppy, I care about your health very much. I am also convinced that you know your body and health conditions better than anyone else. Clearly ice cream is sometimes what a body needs.

When I was pregnant they made clear that I was to report any odd cravings right away. She said if I suddenly thought crayons or cardboard sounded tasty I should call them. Ice cream not so much. I don't know what the odd cravings concern was about, but they amused me with the possibility.

Also, if I haven't consulted you as my doctor, get out of my business!
