Oh poor Dahlek:

You had a tooth pulled. Hope you are healing.

Once it heals, you can have a nice bowl of chicken soup. Filled with all good stuff. That's what we italians do when we feel under the weather. Chicken soup is good for what ails anyone. Got a cold? Chicken Soup!! Got a fever..Chicken Soup!!! Boyfriend dumps you...Chicken Soup. You dump the boyfriend ... go out and eat a bag of fries!!!! lol

I have a friend who is 63 and overweight. She is type 2, and although she tries, she can't lose weight. Her husband (and I don't think this is fair, and neither does she), well, he's 65 years old, 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighs 195, and can eat anything he wants. And I mean anything.

He eats cupcakes for breakfast, he eats all day. IF he doesn't eat, he loses weight. He once complained. Oh, I had a bad stomach last week, and couldn't eat too much and I lost 6 lbs."

I almost stangled him. He eats a pint of ice cream every night. How the heck can this man eat a pint of ice cream, (and candy too). every night?

When I'm on the phone with her, she goes "oh there he goes again, he's looking for something to eat". And he finds it.

I will never understand how some people can't eat anything, and this guy stuffs his face, and weighs 195. He lift weights also. BUT HE EATS!!!!\

She told me the funniest story. She married him when she was 24 and he was in construction and he was one of those guys who held that thing that breaks up cement. I don't know what you call them, (oh, I think they are called a Jackhammer), but these guys wear these huge gloves, and they are holding this machine and the machine vibrates a gazillon times minute, and it breaks the cement on the flloor (in the street). When her husband was 26 he looked like Arnold Schwartznegger. He had this upper body (I saw the photos from their earlier years together), and I said 'oh my goodness, Joe, you look like Arnold Schwartzenegger," and we all laughed.

Well, when they went on their honeymoon and they went to a restaurant he ate like a truck driver. She said "I never saw a person eat like that in my life", "never", And he's been eating like that for over 37 years." I got hysterical.

She would yell at him saying "I have to lose weight, you have to stop eating". He just ate and she got fat.

There is no justice in this world. This guy can eat anybody under the table.

Amazing.

Not fair.
