I hate it when people post just to post.....

Pattygreen is on the prostitution thread. She preaches up one side and down the other. I am a Christian. I am proud of it. Am I perfect? NO. Do I screw up? YES. Do I force my beliefs on others? NO> (I try not to any way.) Being a Christian means I am forgiven...not perfect. And here I go screwing up by talking and gossiping...But Pattygreen is over the top.

Same take as mine g4e. It annoys me when people go off "holier than thou" on the world. I am not perfect, and will not tell others how to live their lives. Except for DD.

Ha!!!

No human on earth is perfect...not even PG.

pattygreen is very sanctimonious and judgmental.

Very well put SNT. We must have all been replying at the same time.

oh brandy it's right up your alley!!

i try never to discuss religion - i treat it like my lapband, it's personal and none of anybody's business.

speaking of that (in pjtp mode) we had our close friends come to our ranch for the wkend. GREAT seeing them, it had been 2 months and we had a good time, even though i crashed on them early & vegg'd out most of the time.

dh and i NEVER told any of our friends that we had lapband - even his family is in the dark....just my family & our trainer, that's it. my girlfriend had put on about 30lbs, looks good still & is happy not obsessed w/the added lbs. wanted to know if i was still working out etc. & i said yes. later in the evening, she tells us that a former colleague of ours (who never takes his wife anywhere because he's embarrassed of her weight) was forcing his wife to have the lapband or get a divorce. i looked big eyed at DH, and just sorta dropped it.

who does that??? dh and i talked after they left last night and even at my heaviest DH NEVER said a word about the size of my ass. anyway long winded, but LJM needs something to read today:wink: i see so many posts that some don't have support of family or SO - but yet to read someone was being forced into it. WRONG, just WRONG.

ok my small 2cents for the day....

An idiot.

There would be no forcing me...I'd be on my way to the divorce lawyer before he finished the sentence!

Well I don't like to discuss religion. However, I do like to verbally spar with others who think they are high and mighty :ihih: It doesn't matter what the topic is I can usually find some way to offend them haha

I second that.. I was HUGE and my DH never did anything like that. He always encouraged me to walk with, hike, bike etc. NEVER once talked to me like that. I couldn't imagine not having a support person there. He is my biggest cheerleader haha.

He is the one always saying.. Please slow down youre gonna PB :wink5:

[losingjusme 12]

ceradad - you'll be in my thoughts.

beth - ROTFLMAO re the pattygreen comment... heh..

re - the baby ... HOLY CRAP he is active today ... you can literally see my stomach jump around... i really dont know how he can be even the slightest comfortable... my last ultrasound (yesterday - cant believe a specialist came in on a Sunday to do a U/S).. he said head was down, shoulders were on my right side, butt was right under ribs and legs were allllll the way on my left side... he sometimes even kicks my port area... so i'm really lucky not to have the rib kicks... guess im lucky i have a long (ahem - and wide) torso...

Is this where the party is?

you found it :wink5:

taps - i am right there w/you. only i was allowed to comment on the size of my booty.

Okay...I'm going to be the bad guy here.

While I agree that if DH ever said, "Lose weight or lose me." I'd be filling up his half of the closet before the words were even out of his mouth.

however....

I have a friend that is seriously in denial. If I were married to her, I'm not sure there would be any other way to get through to her other than threats.

IF it's for the DH's vanity, then shame on him.

But, there is a rare chance that it could be the only way to announce the wake up call that the wife needs.

Maybe he's tired of her complaining she's fat while she eats a ton of ice cream, and he's done trying to help her in the more nicer of ways.

Of course, I'm just throwing this opinion out there because I was reminded of my friend. Other than shaking her, I'm not sure what to do. I'd throw out an ultimatim myself, if I were married to her.

[luluc 6]

i see what your saying glouc - not sure ultimatums would ever work for me personally, probably have the reverse affect.

i will see this guy next friday night at a diner party - i bet he is stag.

[Oregondaisy 2,020]

Brandy, you get the cold icky weather there in the winter. In the summer, I always wish I lived in Eugene. It's in the 60's here in the summer too. I have to go away if I want warm weather, like to Eugene.

I am going to have to do a search on Patty Green.

Look, he'd better be the world's number one hottie, or else!

I'm not saying I agree with what I wrote...It would piss me off beyond belief if DH said that to me.

It's just my frustration w/my friend is making me see that sometimes being nice doesn't work.

You gotta report back...I'm anxious to see what he's like.
