Stacks, I was able to see it and it doesn't bother me. 1) I technically am obese, but I've lost 30 pounds recently which is a HUGE accomplishment and I'm really happy about it. It probably took more willpower than that person has ever summoned for anything. 2) I'm not a vegan, so clearly that person isn't too observant.

But thanks for your concern. *hug*

[QUOTE]Me either! Someone posted a pic the first or second day that had a carousel in the background that I thought might be "Merry-go-round" but I have no idea if it was directed towards me or not, because it didn't make sense. Like so much else on that site.

OHHHHH I see now! That site makes me sad.

Well hugs back, I'm glad it doesn't get to you because I'm sure it would have gotten to 9 out of 10 girls here

Mery, I saw that and I thought "Someone obviously doesn't know what "morbidly obese" means.  I am very glad to know that the post doesnt' bother you - and, congrats on the 30 lbs. 

FWIW, H is technically obese, too - he was headed toward "morbidly obese," and lost almost 40 lbs so far.  He says he aspires to be merely "overweight."  Also FWIW, I think you're pretty damn hot. 

Screw the callout poster.  Ignorant and mean - what a combination!

To be honest, weight IS one thing that bothers me. I'm sort of surprised this doesn't, but I guess I have it in my head that the call out site is too ridiculous to bother with. If someone here said it to me or said it to my face, I'd probably be upset. I'd also be much more upset if I hadn't been going to the gym 5 times a week for the last 7 months. But it's kind of like, "well, I guess the joke's on them."

Thanks OWN! I'm 5'5" and I honestly think I'd be fine with being around 160, which is just to one side of "overweight." Technically, I could be like 130 and be in a healthy weight range, but I don't see that ever happening. I've been curvy for as long as I can remember. And at 160 with some good muscle tone, I'll probably be around a size 10, which works for me. I'm a 16 now, down from an 18/20, which is hardly that far out of the average range.

I'm very late to this I realize. In the OP, she just posted the picture, no explanation. I thought she was putting up some weird random TTD pic. I was going to say something really bad about it like "How long has it been since she got laid? Why does she looked so pissed and frumpy?" Then she later explained it was an actual picture of herself. I'm kinda glad I didn't say anything mean, but dayum, it's not a good picture.

Mery - I think you must have recently said something that someone didn't like. Apparently I did too. 

Funny how absolutely nothing was said about me in between the days when I wasn't posting on TK.

Thank you!

Salt, I did tell a girl that caesar salad wasn't vegetarian on chit chat the other day and got a barrage (and by that I mean 2) snarky comments about how no one had EVER heard of caesar salad/dressing having anchovies. But chit chat's not really smart enough to figure out how to submit things to KPS callouts.

If you post enough you're bound to piss some people off.

Weight is a low-blow, though. What's the line? I can lose weight but you'll always be an asshole?

salt78

Any sort of appearance jab is just a desperate attempt at being insulting because they can't come up with anything smarter. 

They hadn't heard that there were anchovies in Caesar dressing? I thought everyone knew that.

Ditto. It's like not knowing that there's milk in ranch dressing.

 Mery, don't let the weight comment hurt you!  Seriously, you're not even a malicious person so I don't know why they would attack you.

mica178

My FI is in denial about the anchovies in Caesar salad.  A lot of anchovy haters are.

Mery, good job on all the weight loss and the dedication to the gym!  If only I were so good.  Since I moved I haven't exercised.  I pretend that unpacking is the same thing.  Oh, and (sorry, I'm ignoring the FFF), I love your new picture!  Your hair is so pretty!

LOL Thanks :) The day of his bday we had a party and he wore that friggin hat ALL day. He's a keeper.

ThePinkSuperhero

We put a hat on my parents' dog for my Mom's birthday.  I, too, was surprised at how long he managed to wear it.

Birdie1483

Between Mery and Whit's callout, I feel like the poster(s) were more just trying to get a rise out of people and getting their call outs talking about than really feeling this way.

I mean 1) I've never seen Mery be mean to anyone. Ever. Same with Whit. And 2) Whit's FG dress looks like what a little girl would wear to a birthday party. NOT what a prostitute would wear on the street corner. I think they were really trying on that one and failed miserably.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Thanks Mica! It was my hair and makeup trial and I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

If the KPScallout poster can only say I'm a fat vegetarian... well, I've sure as hell been called worse. (But thanks guys - I have to say, if that was directed against another poster I'd also be really upset on their behalf. And the callout of Whit is also really below the belt. What the hell has Whit ever done to anyone?)

Bubbalub

Dude, Mery, that callout to you really pissed me off not just because it was a low blow and completely inaccurate but because you remind me of my sister and I know that she is not obese. Fucking coward poster.

I think you're beautiful and awesome.

[QUOTE]A lot of us have nice little splurges in our wedding and/or spent more than we ever imagined on one outfit for one day or on an open bar or on our shoes or whatever. But when someone constantly reminds you that their ring is CARTIER and they own more manolos than they can count and their dress is Vera Wang and they're paying to fly 80 people to their wedding in Crete, then you're being tacky. It's AWish. (Especially when you mention the label of everything you buy. Tiffany toasting flutes!!!!) Rolling my eyes at that is not out of jealousy, I assure you. I love when people AW their designer shoes or whatever, but there's a difference between that and HAVING to pay crap tons of money for EVERYTHING because cheap is just SO not your thing.

I'm sure some of this is directed at me.  For one.....I never mentioned blue champagne thats in my freakin bio along with loving sparkles.  I collect shoes like many people collect other things.  When I posted asking which pair of shoes people liked it was about color.  No where did I mention the brand....some one else discovered they were Blahniks and posted that.  I mentioned my ring was Cartier in ONE thread because another poster ripped a sales girl at Cartier a new asshole about not automatically supplying a duplicate copy of the ring (with CZ).  As someone who worked retail I hate when sales people are beat up for things that aren't their fault by morons.  I posted my wedding jewelry because....I'm sorry I got really really excited the day I bought it.  Heaven for fucking bid.  That is the only time I've mentioned it besides my bio.  None of the rest of this makes any sense in regards to me.

Am I defensive?  Yes I grew up most of my childhood defending myself from people who hated that I had money.  Girls in the school yard who hated me used to say I had to buy friends.  Its a touchy subject for me and it hurts. 

LC. Mery and OWN.  At least you had the balls to say all this in an FFF though I had no idea you had an issue with me.  Good to know.

You seem unnecessarily defensive aprov.  This is a message board with 400 different opinions.  Some of them will agree with you, some of them won't.  The people here didn't make fun of you as a child, and they had nothing to do with your upbringing.  The level of anger here is just odd and feels very misplaced.   You have to learn to brush things off.

It's not that I have any particular issue with you. I just think you're obnoxious.
