...‘Sorry, but if you are overweight, pedicures will be $45 due to service fees for pedicurists. Thank you!’

One angry woman from Memphis shared it online declaring it to be ‘So rude!’. Rose Nails, which usually charges just $20 for the procedure, was confronted by local TV.

It’s my cruiser bike called “Fat Lady”.

Not that I am a fat lady or want to be a fat lady.
(you have to say that these days)

Eventually I might get it painted black.

Technically, to me it looks like a unisex frame.

Fat people don’t wash their feet — they can’t reach them.

I rode it at a huge bike store today. Crazy place where you just grab a bike and ride it around the aisles with lots of people doing the same and no road rules.

Check out those thick tires. They are like monster wheels.

Bobby: “Oh yeah, we’ve got to trim some of the fat around here.”
Kurt: “What do you mean by trim the fat?”
Bobby: “I want you to fire the fat people.”
Kurt: “What?!”
Bobby: “They’re lazy and they’re slow and they make me sad to look at.”

I drive 99% of the time. Flying since 9/11 convinced me of that :)

” Like a body sized copy of those little steel frames in airports your carry-on bag is supposed to fit into maybe?”

I like it! A go-no go gauge for the passengers!

It was a ludicrous claim.”

May be now. My mom owned a women’s clothing store and everything was a specific size. There was no such a thing as small, medium, large or anything with an X in it. She has lots and lots of petite and junior garments. Trying to find something in a 7 or 9 junior is now incredibly difficult. If you wear a 20 or 22 there’s a huge selection. Absolutely ridiculous for any female to be that large IMO.

When peach shakes are in season my grandson and I go through the CFA drive thru at least three times a week. Fortunately for my waistline it doesn’t last long - just have to temporarily increase length of my daily walk to compensate.

Hard pressed to think they are using $25 worth more of nail polish on the overweight. Since when did the obese have larger toenails??

Restaurants portions in the US are too big. (That’s why we invented the doggy bag.)

I asked for a doggy bag in Europe and my Euro relatives were totally befuddled. “But you’re dog is in the states?!?” LOL!!

Just stay out of “all you can eat” places and you won’t subsidize the over-eaters.... or the extremely hungry.

The only pedicure I’ve ever had, I caught a bad nail fungus
from the soaking tub or tools or something. I’ve had a
time clearing it up & have never done it again. Now, I
just cut my nails, file them and don’t use polish any more.
So, I’m not glamourous.

We went on a trip from Tennessee to Niagara Falls a few
years ago. I wasn’t skinny; but in Puxatawney, PA, we
stayed at a place and ate at a restaurant where there
were REALLY fat people. I asked Fang if he noticed it.
He pointed to our plates of pirhogies in reply. I felt
skinny; but I’m not.

All the southern states have the highest percentage of fat people. Colorado and Connecticut have the thinnest people overall. I would imagine they exercise and eat better then the south where biscuits and gravy are a daily staple.
