      I asked ONCE. I'm a fast learner and in my defense never had been warned of 'things not to ask'
      never done it again (well, maybe to my brother when he gained weight).

      could be the name also, Food Lady

      F I=
      O milk laden well developed
      O breastessess
      d baby bump

      I (Lady) = preggers.

        I used to get jokes about being pregnant, and I'm a guy.

        I should've just responded "Yeah, I'm pregnant with your girlfriend's child."

          What I'd like to know is this:

          Where in Emily Post does it say that it's perfectly okay for a total stranger to comment on another's appearance?????

          Yes, I KNOW my nose is red . . . you see me standing on a footstool, with a door open on the ICE CREAM freezer with gloves on my hands, picking up and looking at boxes of ooey, gooey good stuff.

          YET you seem to think it's perfectly okay for not only YOU but your grown daughter to both comment on my nose????????

          Both of you need to go straight to Hell . . . Do NOT pass GO, do NOT collect $200. Don't know how ya'll were raised, but I learned as a small child that if you're not sure if something you want to say is okay, then keep your damned mouth shut!!!

          And, that in a nutshell, was the tone of my day . . . how was ya'lls?

            As my mom put it , "If you meet a guy with a third arm, you don't ask him 'What happened to you? Where'd you get the third arm?' !!" She was fairly outraged on my behalf when she exclaimed that, so yeah, it's a bit nonsensical. Moms....

              Well, at least no one's ever mistaken me for a guy. But I don't get it. I would never take you for female. Even when you need a haircut.

                  Meh, I'm from a place where people always feel the need to point out the obvious. It's like, they think you have no idea how you dressed yourself or what you put on your face.

                  But the best way, I've found, to deal with Captain Obvious fucktards is to just answer like this:

                  Dumbass: Wow, that's a lot of dark eyemakeup!
                  Me: Really? Had no idea.

                  Dumbass: You know there's black streaks in your hair?
                  Me: Really? Nope, never knew it, never saw it.

                  Dumbass: You always gotta dress like it's a fashion show?
                  Me: Yes.

                  Trust me, these tards are just looking for a reaction.

                      "How long do you have to go?"
                      If this a frequent question, just have a standard answer ready. For instance: "twelve miles" or "14 minutes".
