I still shudder at that obese woman who sat next to me on the plane. She was waddling down the aisle and I just prayed she wasn’t to be my seat mate....yet she was. I got up to let her in and she took up her seat and half of mine...I put the arm rest down and it just squished her in at the waist. There was no room for me. I asked the stewardess to move me and I got a seat in the emergency exit row with lots of leg room. The fat lady sat down taking up my seat, too, and pulled out her feed bag and started grazing. I was slack jawed in shock. Guess you’ve got to eat non-stop to maintain 350 lbs of fat.

I finished the first two rounds, it seems to be gone. I am on another antibiotic to keep me from getting an infection now. I have my ultrasound tomorrow. They will call me with the results. I have an appointment in July with the specialist, should I still need it. I do think I have been having bladder stones passing. After reflecting on it, I have to agree that is probably what is going on. If they find more stones, they will zap them with the lithotripsy. Coincidentally, DH is being zapped a week from tomorrow. One day at a time....

Thank you! I was reading about what a mess Ferguson and Baltimore are, all the property destroyed, money and jobs lost, and that word just belonged in a poem.

I hope you continue to do well-from all I’ve heard from people who had it, that zapping really does the trick.

One of the nice things about being out here is not having all those big ol’ heifers waddling through the grocery store, taking the whole aisle up and filling the carts with boxed and frozen sugar and carbs-and a lot of them open a bag of chips or candy and graze as they amble along, too, which makes me grit my teeth...

I’m not that bad, but I will open up and start drinking a bottle of pop while I wait in line.

It’s how I exercise “white privilege.” LOL

I was taught to never eat in stores like that. Or drink.

They grow our heifers so big they qualify for those motorized chairs and they cruise the town in them. It’s enough to make you gag. The grocery stores have them around here and they will run you down in the stores. Scary.

If I need to go to tractor supply, there is one in the nearest town with a few thousand people-in the next county-and there is a big chain supermarket there, too-I’ve seen the heifers in those chairs there a few times, and it makes me furious because those are for people with REAL disabilities/mobility impairments, not people who are hogs by choice-I’m just about tempted to go up to one and tip her fat ass out on the floor...

I’m buying the drink. It’s all above board. Just premature. They put the drink coolers in the line.
