Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 I got an email from some " friends " a while back that said, and I quote " You were the funniest of the funny when you were fat and loaded. Now you come off as somewhere between angry and just plain pissed off. " Please! I come across as sober, healthy, in-shape and good-looking and their note is somewhere between angry and just plain pissed off. Don't get me started !

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 It's funny, friends and family have been telling me just the opposite. I was so angry and pissed off at the world before I had surgery. I am much happier now and when something does bother me, I don't get nearly as angry and I am not angry nearly as long as pre-surgery.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Vicki, Just smile and say thanks for the clothes and they'll look great after you have them taken in. AND start sending her your too big clothes. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Dave, That's just the way it goes. My family gets together once or twice a year and eats, drinks and gets boisterously opinionated. I'm sober and not stuffing my face ands tend to get bored after a couple of hours. I really just don't have anything to say once they get rolling. They think I'm being judgemental, stand-offish, disdainful. I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. Oh well, they'll just have to get used to it or stop inviting me. Vicki > > > > I go and buy 10's. Usually, they are loose, but I wear baggy > > > clothes.
