Ohhh its her birthday eh?
When I have a good solid chunk of free time I will post my little odyssey for perusal, enjoyment and encouragement. Twelve years is a fair chunk of time, eh ?
Amy the BUTTnugget (LOL)
Well...hmm.
I have seen the hamsters on the funny animal videos do this flip, and some of my friend's hamsters do this. It's amazing they can actually do it seeing as they have the world's shortest legs on a mammal.
The rattie girls had their first bath today and THEY HATED IT. I have the shredded flesh to prove it.
I will post my story soon !

I am familiar with voxpopulli from a board that was on Parent's place under Hot Topics. It was about America's obesity epidemic, and there are almost eleven hundred posts there. If you have several hours to kill, I would HIGHLY suggest reading the posts. The animosity towards fat people is rather frightening.
To All - There is a book I would like to recommend that came out in 1998 but I did not discover until 2002 in a Border's in Concord, NH. It called Fat!So? by Marilyn Wann. The premise is that you don't have to apologize for your size, and there is a flabulous website of the same name. I would recommend ANYONE of ANY size read this. It changed my life and made me cry. Alot. And set me free. Eat while you read this book. Really. Curl up on the couch with a blankie, a good reading light, a fabulous cup of coffee (or other beverage of your choice)and a snackie. And read. And keep reading. Trust me, it will be good for you soul AND your waistline.
Looking forward to formally introducing myself,
Amy
LOL Im glad that you cleared that up..where we met.
And wasn't that obesity thread dreadful ? One of the worst offenders was...pat_made it ? Is that her name ? And wasn't she on this board at one time ? It seemed like she really had some issues with overweight people, as alot of others did. I just could not believe how offended by fat in any form some people were. And I read your post here about empathy towards other overweight folks and the 'connection' you have with them. I feel that way also, like it's a little secret you share or something.
Where are you going for your trip ? BF and I are going to Scottsdale, AZ as a B-day present to him from me. I went to Phoenix last year for a week by myself (whole family thought I was insane/very brave) and I loved it. We are thinking of moving there because if I have to spend a 32nd winter in New England, I'm going to go postal. Winter in MA where I grew up wasn't so bad, but I'm on my 8th NH winter, and they are a whole different animal.
Yap at you a bit later. Kiss Dexter for me.
Amy
