Thanks, Burrell. I have new medicine phobia, but hearing that really helps. Did they leave you on it throughout the pregnancies?

I can second Burrell on the gentleness of thyroid replacement hormones. I've had plenty of weird-ass reactions to other common medications and have noticed zero side effects with either Synthroid or Cytomel (or generic subs thereof).

Argh. I don't know how annoyed I should be about this, or what I should do. My aunt, who is about my size, sent me Facebook's official notice when someone wants you to take a photo down. It's the photo of my entire extended family from my fucking wedding. She doesn't like how she looks in it and wants me to take it down. And right now, my attitude is FUCK YOU IT'S NOT YOUR WEDDING. So I'm not replying.

I don't know if she doesn't understand how tags work, and wants to not be tagged in it, or if she seriously wants me to take down a picture with 18 members of my family in it because she feels fat.

Raaaaaaaage.

t edit Nope, I just looked at the tags, and she untagged herself (which I don't care about; I have a cousin who always untags herself b/c she wants her privacy locked down, which is fine by me). But, SERIOUSLY? It's my entire fucking family, and she wants me to take it down? What's the protocol there?

Can you do one of those pixelate or blur her out of the photo things?

I genuinely don't want to be a dick about this -- if someone had posted a picture I was in that I utterly loathed, I would probably ask them to take it down if it was a picture of just me and them, or a few people. But if it was a big group at a special event, I would untag myself and grin and bear it.

Bah. I really don't even know.

Now that she's untagged herself, how will anyone outside of your family find it?

That's what I was thinking. I guess she just doesn't want it existing at all.

Life is hard, then other people get married. It's a cope and deal.

edit: if she bitches about it, it will only drive others to go look at it.

I do sympathize, because I pretty much hate pictures of myself. But there's no point in messing with a wedding picture. Some things transcend "I don't like how I look."

I'm with Dana.

I do sympathize, because I pretty much hate pictures of myself.

I totally get it. I mean, come on. Does anyone think that I posted *random* pictures from the wedding to FB? No. I picked the ones where I looked the best. There are some pictures of me -- seriously, the photographer gave us over 1,200 pictures -- that are so unflattering that they're comical. Of course I didn't post those. Because I have an ego and would prefer that only flattering pictures of me exist in public. I totally get not liking a picture (or *any* picture) of yourself.

But I only have one picture of my extended family, and I'm sorry my aunt doesn't like the way she looks in it, but...there are 17 other people than her in it. Just no.
