She's pretty gross, but obesity isn't a prerequisite for adipocere.

Pretty much like any other 200 year old corpse. Death may be the great equalizer, but time comes in a pretty close second.

I have.

In captivity. You know, it'll be interesting to see just how the alpha male thing plays out in jail.

You do know that the man who first put forward the alpha male hypothesis regarding wolves later found that it only applies to wolves in captivity.

Yeah, but at least you won't care. (When I have the flu or a bad cold, I always have hot lemonade with a shot of rum in it before I go to bed - sort of homemade Nyquil)

Welcome to cronedom, my dear! <3 Now that there are two of us, I think we need our own bragging folder. No pictures. just long involved posts about how exceptional the grandbabies are.

And people have to realize that it is about the long run - it's not about going on a diet or working out, it's about making maintainable life style changes. People don't realize what a difference water instead of soda and taking just a few extra steps can make. Yeah, you won't have that bikini body in time for summer, but in a few years, your knees will send you flowers.

Are they talking about a section yet?

Gotta be careful about burning them. There are cases on record of morbidly obese corpses causing grease fires resulting in fairly significant damage to crematoriums. In her book Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, Caitlin Doughty talks about having to cremate morbidly obese people first thing in the morning, before the oven gets too hot, to avoid this. (She has a YouTube channel called Ask a Mortician, but I don't know if she addresses it there.)

When I went through treatment, one of the councilors told a story about the guy who came in and wanted to learn how to use heroin socially...

Good luck. The cough drops can't hurt, and if they help, what the hey.

So...You're just being a dick. Yeah, I can let it go at that.

Quantify.

I'd go back - if she gives you change like that, that's enough to buy a jar of tartar sauce and then some. And if she does it every time, you could eventually wind up making money on the deal.

I binged watched both Carl Sagan's and Neil Degrasse Tyson's versions back to back about a month ago. Wow. Just Wow. My head felt like it was going to explode (in a good way) with all the information. (Fortunately, it reverted to its normal empty state within 24 hours.)

lighting a candle for both of you.

There is no disease in the world that does not respond to calories in/calories out. Even Prader-Willi syndrome patients can lose weight if food is not made available to them. And as far as meds - they may increase your appetite or mess with your satiety triggers or slow your metabolism, but your body cannot make fat from food that isn't eaten.

It's not impossible to diet without pills. It's not necessarily pleasant, but it's not impossible.

The same doctor who writes her notes can refer her to a dietician.

Imagine the emotional turmoil that it takes to keep justifying not addressing the underlying problem.

Only if you want her to wake up screaming.
