Even a pathological lying hippos should be
able to do better than that pathetic effort.

Odd that your alleged 'medical problem' doesnt appear to
get in the road of shovelling massive amounts of **** into your
mouth, or spewing reams of your rabid ravings in here either.

Does it occur to you that when you are handicapt you
don't have to eat very much at all to still put on weight?

Just shovel less than you are burning into your mouth, cretin.

Maybe you will suffer some severe health problem,

I certainly wont turn into a hippo if I do.

Hey moron!

Must have a real problem to shout at yourself like that.

guess what happens to you when you are normal weight and
exercising all the time and living your life and suddenly some
physical problem strikes you down like a fly hit by a flyswatter?

Anyone with a clue, which obviously doesnt count
you, stops shovelling so much into their mouth
when they arent burning so many calories anymore.

In your escrutiating pain that makes it hard for
you to move without screaming out in agony

Clearly doesnt interfere with you shovelling all that crap
into your mouth. Or are you claiming that there is someone
standing beside you with a shovel, waiting for you to scream,
and shovels your food into your mouth when you scream ?

and your strain of energy that is taken from you in
just dealing with this agony every moment of your life

Just to the decent thing and hang yourself.

Make sure you use a strong rope and something very secure to tie it to
tho.

- you put on weight!

Nope, you do, actually.

Or are you so stupid that you think they GOT FAT
and that's the problem. People are fat and handicapt
because they are in escrutiating pain that won't allow
them to move and do the things they would love to do.

They clearly can keep shovelling all that food into their mouths.

Their only real handicap is what is between their ears.

well, yea, there are those few who eat and become
1000 pounds and no one knows how to stop them.

Easy to stop them, bullet in the back of the neck.

riding around the aisles in electric scooters. The smallest of them
probably weighed around 400 pounds.

As I traversed the aisles with my cart, the scooters always seemed to
be
blocking the way for others and parked squarely in front of junk
food.
People were being delayed in their grocery shopping while these
scooter
driving fat people made up their mind what kind of cookies and such
they
wanted to buy. I observed that the baskets in the scooters were not
exactly brimming with health food.

While shopping, I bumped into the manager. I related my observations
to
him. The manager let me know that it was the first of the month and
that's
when people who are retired or on welfare get paid. I told him that
the
people riding in the scooters looked to be anywhere from their late
20's
to
early 40's. The manager explained that the people in the scooters
were
on
disability because they were too fat to work. He went on to explain
that
this store, because it had a lot of junk food at low prices, tended
to
attract many of the really fat people in the local area. Because the
really fat people loved this supermarket, they had 10 of these
electric
scooters available. The manager said that the first of the month is
so
busy with the really fat people that sometimes all the scooters get
used
and there's a small line to ride one.

What is this country coming to?

I drive by a state welfare office on the way home every day and most
of
the
people I see going in and out of there are very obese women. The
thing
that I find suprising that of the obese white women who bring their
kids
with them, most of their kids are obviously fathered by a black man.
I
also notice that most of the kids who accompany their mothers are very
fat.

Maybe the government should stop handing out food stamps to these
women
until they bring their weight down to a normal level.

No, it echoed through your ears until it hit her in the face.

And you would stop eating what you love when you get hit by a
bus...yeah, right. Human nature being what it is would have you
getting as big as a house so you can be ridiculed simply for being
fat? You are right about the calories but your bedside manner rates a
zero, for which I say **** YOU!

Easy to say while you have two legs and someone else's brain running
your body (you ain't got one of your own, ****wit). YOu are such a
mountain of discipline that you would never turn to food for
satisfaction or as something that you can still enjoy because
everything else gives you pain.

and your strain of energy that is taken from you in
just dealing with this agony every moment of your life

Just to the decent thing and hang yourself.

Long and deep, mutha ****a...NOW!

Make sure you use a strong rope and something very secure to tie it

I would love to take you down the Jasper texas road to human
equality. Mr. Byrd deserves respect and is missed but not a soul
would miss you.

- you put on weight!

Nope, you do, actually.

and she is a better person than you will ever be.

Someone should main you so you can know the pain you cause.

just what you'd expect from a rabid hippo.

You must be a pyschic, (well a bad one) because somehow you actually think
you know what I weigh and how 'terrible' I must look. You are way off
base loser. But even if I were 300 pounds of twinkies, there are worse
things than being over weight and handicapt. One would be being a person
that isn't fit for human contact and goes thru life being a jerk.

Well.....actually.... you could potentially go to hell for gluttony which
obesity is usually a symptom of and it is usually found with hoarding and

Going through life fat (or skinny) and bitter is no way to live though,
get jolly dammit. I hate almost equally the habitual dieters that complain
over the same 5# year after year. BORING.

My daughter adopted a large elderly lady as her grandmother. She loved
her "Squishy Grandma" who she couldn't get her
arms around and seemed to disappear in the fluff when she'd get her hugs.
Her bio grandmothers were the thin "modern grandmothers" and they never
had cookies in their jars :0(

There is something you like to be around when someone just likes or is at
peace with themselves and doesn't have the chip fat or skinny.

Then again, this is hearsay. Have you picked up the phone and given
it a try (getting a social worker involved or to make a
recommendation)?

I did once try to get a social services department to take an interest
in an elderly lady I had to visit on a (non-social-care related)
professional matter. What I outlined was what I was told on that
occasion. Obviously it's different if the person concerned is visibly
unable to cope or a child, but this lady was merely borderline
confused. She was confused enough that I wasn't happy that she'd
completely understood the complicated financial matters I'd tried to
explain to her and I would have preferred a family member to have been
there before she signed certain documents. On the other hand, in no
way was she unable to undertake her normal day to day life - her home
was cleaner than mine, she was getting about well enough and she
didn't appear to be malnourished.

I don't know much about this case but there was a situation here in
the UK where an elderly couple stopped paying a utility bill. As I
understand it, the company concerned tried everything they could
within the law to interest social services in the case, but failed.
During the summer (when it is allowed) the couple had the utility cut
off. The couple still didn't sort the matter out. Winter came, and
they died due to hypothermia. A lot of rubbish was talked about the
case, but...well...if you don't pay a heating bill, you will be cold
and if you are elderly you may die. Even in that case, social
services could not go stomping in and demand an explanation for the
couple's actions. How much less can they stamp around if it is simply
that neighbours and family do not like the way someone lives their
life? They are social workers, not lifestyle consultants or
pseudo-police.

You are right on with that comment. I have been posting her for 4
years and the idiots have made laughable assumptions about me as
well.

Just chalk it up to their lack of intelligence and move on. By the
way, welcome to SSFA. One can have a great time here in spite of
idiots if one has a strong kill file. Believe me, nothing an idiot
says is worth your time unless you want it to be.
